normal angles between the vagina, the cervix, and the 
body of uterus; 
viewed from the right.
* 
Longitudinal axis of the vagina
** Longitudinal axis of the cervix of uterus
*** Longitudinal axis of the body of uterus
Angle between vagina and cervix of uterus = version
Angle between cervix and body of uterus = flexion
Normal topographical situation of the uterus:
anteversion, anteflexion
Relation to the median plane = position

Uterus, Uterus, and uterine tube, Tuba uterina; 
AP-radiograph after injection of to contrast medium into the 
cervix of uterus (hysterosalpingographyl; 
uterus in dextroposition;
