Q

(“small lips”) can have a variety of sizes and shapes. They lie just inside your labia majora, and surround the opening to your vagina (the canal that joins the lower part of your uterus to the outside of your body) and urethra (the tube that carries pee from your bladder to the outside of your body). This skin is very delicate and can become easily irritated and swollen.

16
Q

is the lowest part of your uterus. A hole in the middle allows sperm to enter and menstrual blood to exit. Your cervix opens (dilates) to allow a baby to come out during avaginal childbirth. Your cervix is what prevents things like tampons from getting lost inside your body

A

Cervix

17
Q

is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that holds a fetus during pregnancy. Your uterus is divided into two parts: the cervix and the corpus. Your corpus is the larger part of your uterus that expands during pregnancy.

A

Uterus

18
Q

are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of your uterus. Your ovaries produce eggs and hormones

A

Ovaries

19
Q

These are narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of your uterus and serve as pathways for your egg (ovum) to travel from your ovaries to your uterus. Fertilization of an egg by sperm normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants into your uterine lining

A

Fallopian Tubes

20
Q

The Menstrual Cycle last for how many days?

A

24-38

21
Q

It prepares for possible pregnancy

A

Menstrual Cycle

22
Q

First day of your period
Shedding of the lining in the uterus if the pregnancy did not occur
Most people bleed for 3 to 5 days

A

Menses Phase

23
Q

First day of your period and ends in ovulation
Hormone estrogen rises, causing the lining of your uterus to grow and thicken
Follicles in your ovaries to grow (follicle-stimulating hormone)
10-14 days

A

Follicular phase

24
Q

A sudden increase in another hormone (luteinizing hormone) which causes your ovary to release its egg
14-28 days

A

Ovulation

25
Q

Your egg leaves your ovary and begins to travel through your fallopian tubes to your uterus.
The level of the hormone progesterone rises to help prepare your uterine lining for pregnancy.
15-28 day

A

Luteal phase

26
Q

the organ is used for urination and sexual intercourse. It has spongy tissue that can fill with blood to cause an erection. It contains the urethra, which carries both urine and semen.

A

Penis

27
Q

this is a loose bag of skin that hangs outside the body, behind the penis. It holds the testes in place.

A

Scrotum

28
Q

these are a pair of egg-shaped glands that sit in the scrotum, on the outside of the body. They produce sperm and
testosterone, which is the main male sex hormone.

A

Testes

29
Q

this is a highly coiled tube that lies at the back of the testes. All sperm from the testes must pass through the epididymis, where they mature and start to ‘swim’.

A

Epididymis

30
Q

this is a thick-walled tube joined to the epididymis. It carries sperm from the epididymis up to the prostate gland and urethra.

A

Vas deferens

31
Q

this is a walnut-sized gland that sits in the middle of the pelvis. The urethra runs through the middle of it. It produces the fluid secretions that support and nourish the sperm.

A

Prostate Gland

32
Q

this is a tube that extends from the bladder to the external opening at the end of the penis. The urethra carries both urine and sperm.

A

Urethra

32
Q

these are 2 small glands above the prostate gland that make up much of the fluid in semen.

A

Seminal vesicles

32
Q

The hormones thicken the mucus that lives on the cervix, which blocks the sperm

A

Hormonal IUD

33
Q

The hormones also stop eggs from leaving your ovaries (no egg for a sperm to fertilize)

A

Hormonal IUD

34
Q

Sperm does not like copper, it is impossible for the sperm to reach the egg

A

Non-Hormonal IUD

35
Q

Copper IUDs are?

A

Non-Hormonal IUD

36
Q

thickens the mucus on your cervix, which stops the sperm from swimming through your egg and also stop eggs from leaving your ovaries, so there is no egg to fertilize.

A

Progestin
