Female reproductive system Flashcards

1
Q

Functions of female reproduction

A

produce ova, secrete sex hormones, recieve spermatozoa during coitus, provide sites for fertilization, implantation and gestation, parturition (labor), and noursihment (breasts)

Q

Similarities of male and female reproductive systems

A

Q

gamete production for female

A

ova formed during fetal life

newborn female has about 2 million oocytes that have stopped at prohase I of meiosis

by puberty 400,000 left and about 400 ovulations

menopause: eggs quit maturing

(older you are increased problem with egg)

histology of uterine tubes

mucosa

A

lines the lumen (surrounds)

27
Q

serosa

A

outside layer, part of peritenum

28
Q

functions of uterus

A

implantation, gustation, and labor

29

gustation

A

where fetus develops/grows

30

structure of uterus

A

fundus, body, cervix, and uterine wall

31
Q

fundus

A

top of uterus where uterine tubes go in

32

cervix

A

neck of uterus that projects into vagina

34
Q

components of cervix

A

external os, internal os, and cervical canal

35
Q

external os

A

uterine ostium

opens into vagina/pap smear

when pregnant this is what they check to see is dialated

36

internal os

A

isthmus of uterus

opens into cavity of uterus

37
Q

uterine wall components

A

perimetrium, myometrium, endometrium

38

perimetrium

A

on top of uterus

vesicouterine pouch: between bladder and uterus (vesi-bladder)

rectouterine pouch: between uterus and rectum (recto-rectum)

39
Q

myometrium

A

muscle used in contraction during partuition

40
Q

endometrium

A

lining of cavity

2 layers: stratum basale- base layer

stratum functionale- grows

41
Q

vagina

A

tubular, fibromuscular organ

posterior to uthera, anterior to rectum

recieve sperm, birth canal

42
Q

structures of vagina

vaginal orifice, hymen, and fornix

fornix: uppermost part of vagina (where cervix fits into)

43
Q

histology of vagina

A

mucosa, muscularis, and fibrous layer

44
Q

histology of vagina

mucosa

A

a) non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
b) rugae- increase in vol for pregnancy

45

cut the space between vagina and anus for birth

if cut too deep can cut the internal anal sphincter
