Assess the function of uterine horns of cat?
Uterine horns are where the uterus and the fallopian tubes meet. They allow the egg cells (ova) to reach the uterus. They are one of the points of attachment for the round ligament of uterus. The other attachment point for that ligament is the mons pubis. In cats, the uterine horns are far more prominent than they are in humans.
