Where is the uterus located?

• A. In The Abdominal Cavity
• B. In The Pelvic Cavity, Anterior To The Bladder
• C. In The Pelvic Cavity, Lies Over The Bladder
• D. In The Thoracic Cavity

Answer: (C)

The uterus sits in the pelvic cavity and is positioned above the bladder. In this relationship, the bladder lies in front of the uterus, so the uterus rests on the superior aspect of the bladder. That makes the description of the uterus being in the pelvic cavity and lying over the bladder the best fit. It is not located in the abdominal or thoracic cavities.
