Clinical Anatomy of the Uterus, Fallopian Tubes, and Ovaries The uterus varies considerably in size, shape and weight depending on the status of parturition and estrogenic stimulation. The uterus is a fibromuscular organ that can be divided into the upper muscular uterine corpus and the lower fibrous cervix, which extends into the vagina. The upper part of the uterus above the insertion of the fallopian tubes is called the fundus. The narrow portion situated between corpus and cervix is known as the isthmus and lies approximately at the level of the course of the uterine artery and the internal os of the cervix.

Interference indices The samples indexes of lipemia (or turbidity), hemolysis and icterus are part of our chemistry results. They are provided automatically with our analyzer with any chemistry test and are very useful. These indexes are more objective and consistent than visual assessment of a sample. Hemolysis, lipemia and icterus in a sample can, in some cases, interfere with accurate measurement of clinical pathologic analytes through various mechanisms (for more, see interferences under test basics).
