Model of the internal anatomy of an adult female genitourinary tract (posterior view of a median section). The following organs are represented from right to left: the urinary bladder, the vagina and the rectum, terminal part of the large intestine forming an arc. The broad ligament of the uterus, which holds the ovary (in flesh color) in place, is located above the bladder; located in its unattached upper area is the Fallopian tube (shown at the left of the ovary). The urethra, draining urine from the bladder, the vagina, prolongation of the uterus, and the end of the rectum, are visible in section in the foreground. The rectal ampulla, upper part of the rectum, make curves forming grooves. These organs are held in place by the peritoneum folds (in white), a highly vascularized membrane. At the uterine level, the membrane is known as the perimetrium, and at the broad ligament, the mesovarium. The ureter (in yellow), carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder, and the ovarian artery (in red) and vein (in blue) cross above the uterus.
