The uterus is a muscular, ear-shaped sac (or cavity) that becomes a “house”
for a fertilized egg. it This hollow sac becomes the home for the embryo, as it
unfolds into the fetus, on its journey to become the newborn infant.
A mucous membrane called the endomevtrium lines the uterus. The
uterus is divided it into three parts: the main body (or the upper y portion),
called the fundus; the center (constrictive) or central area, called the isthmus;
and e finally, the lower portion that unites with the vagina, which is called the
cervix.
The uterus lies in the mid-pelvic area, between the sacrum and the
symphysis pubis. The e lower portion of the fundus has two tubes that extend
one to each ovary. These are called the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes
are the pathway the ovum (egg) takes on its journey from the ovaries to the
uterus.
Menstruation is a monthly ovulation cycle where estrogen (an acid
hormone) triggers cellular bleeding in the uterus. This is God’s way of
“cleaning the house” each month. In this way, if the ovum (egg) becomes
fertilized, its home will have been cleaned and prepared. It should be noted
here the importance of progesterone, which is a steroid produced in the
ovaries and in the adrenal glands. Adrenal progesterone (or DHEA-induced
ovarian progesterone) is essential to stop the action of estrogen and its effect
upon the uterine tissue. If progesterone (anti-inflammatory steroid) is not
being properly produced because of a hypo-function of tissue, a woman will
develop ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, bleeding problems, A-typical cell
formation, endometrioses and cancers.

The Respiratory SystemLUNGS
We each come with a set of lungs located in the pleural cavity—one on each
side of the sternum and reaching down from the upper chest (above first rib)
to the diaphragm. The lungs are cone-shaped “spongy” organs, which allow
