During pregnancy, where is the fetus held?

Inside the uterus
Inside the vagina
In the ovaries
In the abdominal cavity

The correct answer is: Inside the uterus

The fetus is held inside the uterus during pregnancy. The uterus is a specially designed muscular organ that expands as the fetus grows, providing a protected environment that is essential for proper development. It offers the necessary support, nutrients, and oxygen, while also ensuring that waste products can be efficiently managed. The uterus is structured to cradle the developing fetus and is equipped with an inner lining that thickens during pregnancy to provide additional cushioning and support. This environment is crucial for the health of the fetus, helping to protect it from physical trauma and maintaining optimal conditions for growth throughout the pregnancy.
