The uterus has thick walls because a fertilized egg would need a thick lining in order to implant and begin to grow and develop. The uterus is sterile and has no bacteria present, however large quantities of debris and bacteria is brought into the uterus with the sperm. Therefore, the walls must be strong and muscular because uterine contraction has to occur to expel fluid, dead sperm and bacteria out from the uterus and through the open cervix.

What are thick muscular walls?

Thick muscular walls refer to the robust layers of muscle tissue found in certain organs or structures, particularly in the heart and blood vessels. In the heart, for example, the thick muscular walls of the ventricles enable powerful contractions to pump blood effectively throughout the body. Similarly, in arteries, thick muscular walls help withstand high pressure and regulate blood flow. These walls are essential for maintaining proper function and supporting the organ's physiological roles.

Do you arteries have Thick Rough inner walls?

Arteries have thick muscular walls to push your blood and spread out the pulse so it lowers its pressure. Your blood pressure is quite high when it leaves your heart and it comes in pulses. When it finishes going through your arteries and into your capillaries, your body wants it to go slow and be gentle. The muscles in your arteries change it to a smoother flow as they push it along.
