    They also provide attachment to the ovarian ligament, which is located below the fallopian tube at the back, while the round ligament of uterus is located below the tube at the front. The uterine horns are far more prominent in other animals (such as cows [1] and cats [2]) than they are in humans. In the cat, implantation of the embryo occurs ...
