27
Spermatogenesis
Making sperm
28
Cooties
Pubic lice
29
Ovaries
- paired almond - contain 300000 follicles at birth - decline to about 12000 at puberty - only about 400 of these will be ovulated
30
Fimbrae
- Finger like extensions off the top of the Fallopian tube | - sweep the egg into the opening of the Fallopian tube
31
Zygote | Blastocyst
Sperm + egg | 108 cells
32
Uterus
- muscular organ about the size of a fist - fundus - body - cervix - endometrium
33
Vagina
- birth canal | - 10cm
34
Bartholins gland
Located inside the vagina | - secretes a fluid that lubricates the vagina to assist in copulation
35
Vulva
- mons pubis - labia majora - labia minora - clitoris
36
Mons pubis
Protective pad during colitis and contains the pubic hair
37
Labia majora
-Pubic hair is present -sweat glands -other lubricating glands Folds of skim protect the opening of the vagina
38
Labia minora
- no pubic hair or sweat glands | - folds also protect the opening of the vagina
39
Clitoris
Erectile tissue as well as a protective structure
40
Cervix
- forms a plug during pregnancy | - 2nd most common location for cancer in females
41
Mammary glands
-fatty deposits & glands that secrete milk through a series of tubes to the nipple
42
Production of milk requires
- estrogens - progesterones - prolactin Oxytocin is necessary for milk let down
