9
Q

–is a cell nest that has undergone further development. During development, each follicle secretes an internal secretion “oestrin” or “folliculin” which is absorbed by the blood capillaries and causes changes in the breasts and uterine lining.

Q

–is the follicle AFTER the ovum or the egg has been expelled. A small hemorrhage occurs, and a new type of cell develops which produces another internal secretion.

17
Q

Parts of the Uterus

A

fundus
body
cervix
- internal os
- external os

18
Q

– part above the openings of both uterine tubes.

A

Fundus

19
Q

– part between the fundus and the lower constricted part.

A

Body

20
Q

– is the long narrow constricted part.

A

Cervix

21
Q

– opening between the cervix and the body.

A

Internal Os

22
Q

– opening between the lower end of the cervix and the vagina.

A

External Os

23
Q

Is the passage from the uterus to the outside where the cervix opens into it. It has a hymen which partly or completely covers the outer opening of the vagina.

A

VAGINA

24
Q
  • Are the structures which are visible from the outside.
A

EXTERNAL GENITALS/VULVA/PUDENDUM

25
Q

–are four folds of skin, two on each side of the vaginal opening.

A. Labia Majora/Labium Majus
B. Labia Minora/Labium Minus

A

Labia

26
Q

–is the prominence over the pubic bones that cushions the Symphysis Pubis.

A

Mons Pubis

27
Q

–is a small, sensitive erectile organ at the upper end of the vulva homologous with the penis.

A

Clitoris

28
Q

–is the space between the inner folds of the labia upon which the urethra and vagina open. It is a boat-shaped fossa which becomes visible on separation of the labia

A

Vestibule

29
Q
  • are lobulated racemose glands situated one on each side of the vaginal orifice.
A

Bartholin’s Gland / Vulvo-Vaginal Gland

30
Q
    • are orifices just below the outer part of the meatus that run in a tortuous fashion below and parallel to the urethra for a distance about 1.5cm
A

Para-urethral Gland/ Skene’s Gland

31
Q
  • is not actually a reproductive gland, but an organ designed to nourish the young.
A

BREAST or MAMMARY GLAND

32
Q

-is a small prominence extending out from the breast towards its center

A

Nipple

33
Q

–is a circular area of skin at the base of the nipple, colored pink in young but turns brown after pregnancy has begun

A

Areola

34
Q

–are 15-20 small tubes which pass from the substance of each breast to open at the nipple.

A

Lactiferous Ducts

35
Q

are the 15-20 subdivision, each of which drains into the lactiferous duct

A

lobes

36
Q

are small division of the lobes and contain many branched tubes and ducts with enlarged alveoli
