Female Reproductive System Flashcards
name the uterine layer
perimetrium, myometrium and endometrium
what is the perimetrium made of?
incomplete serous membrane
what is the myometrium made of?
thick muscular layer
what is the endometrium made of
thin glandular layer
*inferior portion of the uterine body that extends from isthmus of vagina
cervix
constricted passageway opening to the uterine cavity
cervical canal
connect cervical canal to uterine cavity
internal os
opening at the distal end of cervix
external os
this ligament prevent posterior movement
round ligament
this ligament prevent inferior movement
cardinal ligament
this ligament prevent inferior-anterior movement
uterosacral ligament
fertilized oocyte from week 1-8
embryo
embryo from week 9 to delivery
fetus
cells found in uterine tube that supply nutrient to sperm and pre-embryo
peg cells
this cell secrete fluids that complete the capacitation of sperm in female reproductive tract
peg cell
tube that carry oocyte to uterus
uterine tube (fallopian tube)
parts of uterine tube
fimbria, infundibulum, ampulla, then isthmus
what makes up the lining of the uterine tube
- ciliated columnar epithelium cells
- scattered mucin-secreting cells
layers of the ovary
- stroma
- outer cortex
- inner medulla
where are gamete produced in ovary
cortex
what are the ovary covered in?
visceral peritoneum (germinal epithelium)
this vessel extends from ovary to pelvic wall
suspensory ligament
this vessel extends from uterus to ovary
ovarian ligament
this structure is a thickened fold of mesentery and is found between the ovarian ligament and uterine tube
mesovarium
a pocket between the uterus and posterior wall of the bladder
vesico-uterine pouch
a pocket between posterior wall of uterus and anterior surface of colon
retro-uterine pouch
This mesentery enclosed the ovary, uterine tube, and the uterus
broad ligament
fusion of male and female gamete; fertilized egg
zygote
this structure enclosed and support developing embryo
uterus
surface area between pubic symphysis and coccyx
perineum
gonads
organs that produce gamete (reproductive cells) and hormones
bands of connective tissue that extends from dermis to pectoral tissue
suspensory ligament of breast
mammary gland leaves lobules and form this vessel
lactiferous duct
lactiferous duct expand into this chamber
lactiferous sinus
this gland secrete fluid for lubrication similar in prostate gland
lesser vestibular gland
this gland secrete mucus near vaginal entrance during sexual arousal similar to bulbourethral gland
greater vestibular gland
small projectile in vestibule that is involve sexual response
clitoris
central space bounded by small folds (labia minora)
vestibule
area containing female external genitalia
vulva
ovum production that begin at birth, accelerate during puberty, and ends at menopause
oogenesis
atresia
degeneration of oocyte
degeneration of oocyte
atresia
month event for maturation of oocyte (egg)
ovarian cycle
steps leading to preparation of uterus for implantation of fertilized egg
uterine cycle
stages of ovarian cycle
- follicular phase (day 1-14)
- ovulation
- luteal phase (day 15-28)
release of the egg
ovulation
female reproductive stem cells in the fetal ovaries
oogonia
2 diploid daughter cell after oogonia has undergone mitosis
primary oocyte
when oogenesis tapers, then ceases
menopause
found in the cortex of ovaries; where oocytes grow and meiosis I occur
ovarian follicles
cluster of primary oocytes in ovarian cortex
egg nest
oocyte surrounded by follicular cells
primordial ovarian follicles
