Composed of Adipose Tissue that serves to protect the junction of Pubic Bone from trauma
Monspubis
Traps foregin partible
Mons pubis
Patterm of Pubic hair
escutcheon
Protect the structures lying behind

Labia Majora
Highly sensitive erectile
Clitoris
Primary site of sexual stimulation
clitoris
Cheese secretion
Smegma
Opening of Urethra urethra shorter in females
Urethral Meatus
Females are prone to UTI d/t proximity to anus
Urethral meatus
Produces extra lubrication in female
Paraurethral Glands/ skenes
facilitate coitus
Paraurethral glands / skenes
Produces lubrication in female
Bartholin’s/vulvovaginal
Secretes thick alkaline fluid that sperm motility
Bartholin’s/vulvovaginal
Where does Bartholin’s/vulvovaginal located?
Side of the vagina
Contains vaginal opening, HYMEN
vESTIBULE
In some Virgin girls, the hymen is not intact d/t sports and use tampons
Vestibule
area between vagina anus
Perineum
Lacerates during birth
Perineum
Support perineum
Ritgen’s maneuver
to control speed of delivery
Perineum
Internal of Female reproductive system
- Ovaries
- Fallopian Tube
- Vagina
- Uterus
Hollow muscolo-membranous canal located posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum
Vagina
Extends from the cervix to the external vulva
vagina
acts as organ of intercourse and convey sperm to the cervix
Vagina
external opening of the vagina covered by a thin membrane (called hymen) in virgins.
Vaginal orifice or Introitus
contains rugae (which permit considerable stretching without tearing)
Vagina
Hollow pear-shaped fibromuscular organ 3 inches long, 2 inches wide, 1 inch thick and weighing 50-60 gm.
Uterus
Held in place by broad ligaments
Uterus
Abundant blood supply from uterine and ovarian arteries
Uterus
Uterus Consists of three parts
Fundus -
Corpus
Isthmus
upper portion; site of implantation
Fundus
lower uterine segment; adjacent to Cervix – lower cylindrical portion
Isthmus
– 4 inches long from each side of the fundus; widest part
called ampulla
spreads into finger-like projections
called fimbriae
Responsible for transport of mature ovum from ovary to uterus; fertilization takes place in its outer third or outer half
Fallopian Tubes
Fallopian Tubes Part:
infundibulum:
Ampulla:
Interstitial
adjacent to uterus
Infundibulum
site of fertilization
Ampulla
narrowest portion; most dangerous site of ectopic pregnancy
Interstitial
almond-shaped, dull white sex glands near the fimbriae, kept in place by ligaments.
Ovaries
Produce, mature, and expel ova and manufacture estrogen and progesterone.
Ovaries
although not a part of the female reproductive system but of the skeletal system, it is a very important body part of pregnant women.
The pelvis
two folds of skin with fat underneath
Labia majora
two thin folds of delicate tissues
Labia minora
which is highly sensitive to manipulation and trauma that is why it is often torn during a woman’s delivery.
fourchette
which are believed to secrete a yellowish mucus which acts as a lubricant during sexual intercourse.
Bartholin’s glands
– narrow speace seen when the labia minora are separated
Vestibule
which are often involved in infections of the external genitalia).
Skene’s glands
glands that secrete oily substance to lubricate areola and nipples
- Montgomery Tubercles
