6. Attach the womb to the vagina
by putting the
bottom of the
womb into the
opening in
the vagina.
Using the model
Here are a few ways you can use this model in teaching:
1. Students can put their fingers into the
vagina and feel the cervix.
2. You can hold the
womb in front of
your belly so
people understand
where the womb is
in the body.
3. You can show how to stop
a hemorrhage after birth.
Fold the womb over a board
or stick to show how to
press the womb against
the pubic bone.
