sex organs - receives and allows passage of sperm
daily discharge -to cleanse and lubricate itself
Allows passage of menstrual blood
Allows passage of baby
Provides sensation

Question 10

Answer 10

Is a muscular tube and is the entrance to the uterus is the cervix

Question 11

What is the function of Ectocervix and endocervical canal

Answer 11

Facilitates thepassage of sperminto the uterine cavity - via dilation of the exernal and internal os

Maintains sterilityof the upper female reproductive tract - frequent shedding of the the endometrium

Question 12

What are the three layers of the uterus

Answer 12

Fundus on the top
Body
Cervix

Question 13

What is the perimetruim

Answer 13

The outer layer

Question 14

what is the myometrium layer

Answer 14

the middle layer

Question 15

What is the endometrium

Answer 15

the inner layer

Question 16

Where does the embryos implant

Answer 16

should implant in the endometrium

Question 17

What are the uterine tubes

Answer 17

Assists in the transfer and transport of the ovum from the ovary to the uterus the inner mucosa has ciliated cells which waft the ovum towards the uterus.The Smooth muscle layer contracts to assist transportation of ovum and sperm.
Muscle is sensitive to sex steroids (Oestrogen and progesterone) which is why peristalsis is greatest when oestrogen levels are high – most fertile.

Question 18

What are the four parts of the fallopian tubes

Answer 18

Isthmus - neck of the fallopian tube
Ampulla - angle tube
Infundibulum -
Fimbriae

Question 19

What are the three layers of the ovaries

Answer 19

Surface:Formed of simple cuboidal epithelium.

Cortex:Largely comprised ofconnective tissue supporting follicles. Each follicle contains an oocyte surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells.

Medulla:Contains a rich neurovascular network which enters the ovary at the hilum.

Question 20

What are the functions of ovaries

Answer 20

Produceoocytesin preparation for fertilization.

Produce the sex steroid hormonesoestrogenandprogesterone, in response to pituitary gonadotrophins (LH and FSH).

Each ovary taking an alternate turn in releasing an egg.

Question 21

What are the two Female reproductive cycle

Answer 21

Ovarian cycle
menstrual; cycle

Question 22

What is the Ovarian cycle

Answer 22

the preparation of endocrine tissues and the release of eggs,

Question 23

What is the menstrual cycle

Answer 23

the preparation and maintenance of the uterine lining. These cycles occur concurrently and are coordinated over a 22–32-day cycle, with an average length of 28 days.

Question 24

What are the four phases of menstrual cycle

Answer 24

Menstrual phase
folicular phase
ovulation phase
luteal phase

Question 25

What are the organs involved in the female reproductive system

Answer 25

Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary gland Ovary Uterus

Question 26

What happens on day 0

Answer 26

10-20 oocytes start to mature into: Primary Follicles This process is prompted by falling levels of progesterone which occur at the end of the previous cycle.

Question 27

what are the female reproductive organs glands

Answer 27

Hypothalmus Anterior pituatary gland ovary uterus

Question 28

What does the hypothalmus relasee

Answer 28

Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone This stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release Follicle Stimulating Hormone and luteinising hormone

Question 29

What does the Follicle Stimulating Hormone do

Answer 29

travels to the ovaries

Question 30

What is the follicular phase

Answer 30

Primary follicles can only develop into secondary follicles,As the follicles mature, they produce Oestrogen

Question 31

What does Oestrogen do

Answer 31

travels to the womb and tells it to prepare the uterine lining for a baby but also also travels to the hypothalamus and inhibits the release of GnDR which in turn stops the anterior pituitary gland releasing FSH

Question 32

What is the ovulation phase

Answer 32

this is the Surge of Oestrogen.stimulates the hypothalamus to release GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH and Lutenising hormone

Question 33

What is the Lutenising hormone

Answer 33

this weakens the wall of the ovary, so the egg is released.

Question 34

What is atresia

Answer 34

if an oocyte or developing follicle does not mature it goes through atresia.the oocyte or follicle degenerates and is reabsorbed.

Question 35

How long does the egg live for

Answer 35

the egg lives for around 24 hours

Question 36

What is progesterone

Answer 36

tells the uterine lining to thicken and become highly vasularised.

Question 37

What is the ova

Answer 37

Ova leaves the ovary,is collected by the fimbra and enters the fallopian tube.

Question 38

What happens if you have high levels of LH

Answer 38

tells the remnant cells left after ovulation to release Progesterone

Question 39

What is the luteal phase

Answer 39

Corpus Luteum continues releasing Progesterone.if a sperm fertilizer an egg, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is released which travels to the brain and tells the corpus luteum to maintain progesterone levels to support the developing placenta

Question 40

What is the menstrual phase

Answer 40

If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum in the ovary starts to break down after 10 days, and the levels of progesterone in the body begin to decrease. As progesterone levels decrease, the thickened uterine lining, which is highly vascularized, begins to break down and separate from the uterine wall. This process leads to the beginning of menstruation.

Question 41

What are the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome

Answer 41

back pain abdominal pain headache nausea fatigue

Question 42

What id included in menopause

Answer 42

Number of oocytes very depleted. Ovaries begin to lose their sensitivity to FSH and LH. Less oestrogen and progesterone is produced as a result.

Question 43

what occurs during menopause

Answer 43

Menstrual periods become infrequent, irregular and eventually stop.Lower oestrogen affects calcium metabolism leading to osteomalacia / osteoporosis. side effects hot flushes,heavy sweating,some hair loss,vaginal dryness

Question 44

What is mammary glands

Answer 44

located within the breast 15 to 20 lobes of glandular tissue that radiate around the nipple.

Question 45

How does oestrogen link with mammary glands

Answer 45

Oestrogen causes glandular units and adipose tissue to grow during puberty.

Question 46

How does progesterone link with mammary glands

Answer 46

Progesterone causes the development of the duct system.

Question 47

Where does the milk get produced

Answer 47

Milk production occurs within the alveoli,oxytocin stimulates the breast tissue to squeeze the alveoli, pushing the milk into the mammary ducts. The ducts carry the milk through the breast.
