Q

External genitalia of the female
reproductive system

A

Vulva

19
Q

modified sweat glands within the breast of the integument-each hemispherical breast is positioned over the 24 to the 6
rib and overlies the anterior thoracic muscles

A

MAMMARY GLAND/Breast

20
Q

each mammary gland is composed of ________ lobes
subdivided into lobules containing the secretory alveoli

A

15 to 20

21
Q

Found lining the surfaces of
various organs, including the vagina, cervix, and uterus. It plays a role in protection, secretion, and
absorption

A

Epithelial Tissue

22
Q

Provides structural support and
helps anchor organs in place. It is present in the ovaries, uterus, and other reproductive organs.

A

Connective Tissue

22
Q

A specialized type of epithelial
tissue that lines the uterus (endometrium). It undergoes
cyclic changes in response to hormonal fluctuations and is
shed during menstruation if fertilization does not occur

A

Endometrial Tissue

22
Q

Smooth muscle tissue is prevalent in the uterus, fallopian tubes, and vagina. It contracts during
childbirth and helps move eggs and sperm through the reproductive tract

A

Muscle Tissue

23
Q

These contain various types of cells, including granulosa cells, theca cells, and oocytes,
surrounded by connective tissue. They are structures within the ovaries where oocytes develop

A

Ovarian Follicles

24
Q

Found in the ovaries, uterus, and other reproductive organs, stromal tissue provides structural
support and contains blood vessels, nerves, and other components necessary for the function of these organs

A

Stromal Tissue

25
Q

Provides additional support and structure to the reproductive organs. It is found in the ligaments that attach the uterus to the pelvis and in the walls of the vagina

A

Fibrous Tissue

26
Q

These are the female germ cells or eggs produced by the ovaries. They are released during ovulation
and are fertilized by sperm
during sexual reproduction.

A

Oocytes

27
Q

Also located in the ovarian follicles, theca cells produce androgens, which are converted into estrogen by granulosa cells

A

Theca Cells

28
Q

These cells line the uterus (endometrium) and undergo cyclic changes in response to fluctuations hormonal during
the menstrual cycle. They are shed
during menstruation fertilization does not occur

A

Endometrial Cells

29
Q

These cells line the cervix
and play a role in producing cervical mucus, which changes in consistency throughout the
menstrual cycle to facilitate or prevent sperm passage into the uterus

A

Cervical Cells

30
Q

These cells are found on the surface of the ovaries and play a role in the development of ovarian follicles.

A

Germinal Epithelial Cells

31
Q

Found in the ovarian follicles, these cells surround the oocyte and support its development. They
produce hormones like estrogen
during the menstrual cycle

A

Granulosa Cells

32
Q

These cells provide structural support to the ovaries and other reproductive organs. They also contribute to hormone production and tissue repair

A

Stromal Cells

33
Q

A condition where
tissue similar to the lining of the
uterus grows outside the uterus,
often causing pelvic pain and
infertility

A

Endometriosis

34
Q

A hormonal disorder causing enlarged
ovaries with small cysts on the outer
edges, leading to irregular menstrual
cycles, excess hair growth, acne, and
obesity

A

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

35
Q

Fluid-filled sacs
that develop on the ovaries,
which may or may not cause
symptoms and can be benign
or malignant

A

Ovarian cysts

36
Q

Non-cancerous growths
of the uterus that can cause
heavy
menstrual bleeding,
pelvic pain, and pressure on the
bladder or bowel.

A

Fibroids

37
Q

An infection of
the female reproductive organs, often caused by
sexually transmitted bacteria, leading to pelvic pain,
fever, and infertility if left untreated

A

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

38
Q

Cancer that begins in the cervix,
usually caused by human papillomavirus (HPV)
infection, and may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding
and pelvic pain

A

Cervical cancer

39
Q

Cancer that starts in the ovaries,
often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to lack of
early symptoms, and is associated with a high
mortality rate

A

Ovarian cancer

40
Q

Cancer that develops in the lining of
the uterus (endometrium) or the muscle tissue of
the uterus (myometrium), often causing abnormal
vaginal bleedin

A

Uterine cancer

41
Q

Inflammation of the vagina, often caused by
infections (such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or
trichomoniasis) or irritants, leading to vaginal itching,
discharge, and discomfort

A

Vaginitis

42
Q

A condition where pelvic organs, such
as the uterus, bladder, or rectum, descend into the vaginal
canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles, causing pelvic
pressure and urinary or bowel problems

A

Pelvic organ prolapse
