Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the egg joins with a sperm cell (from a male), this fertilized egg attaches to the endometrium. The thick wall of the uterus protects the growing baby during pregnancy.
Detailed explanation-2: -After a period, rising levels of the hormone oestrogen help to thicken the lining of the womb (the endometrium). At mid-cycle, an egg is released from one of the ovaries (ovulation). If the egg is fertilised on its journey down the fallopian tube, it lodges in the womb lining.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the uterus is to provide nourishment and a conducive environment for the developing foetus until it is developed and delivered.
