Fundus, body, cervix. The fundus and the body have the same histological structure
Name the epithelium found in the endometrium
Simple columnar epithelium
What kind of glands are found in the endometrium?
Simple tubular endometrial glands
Name the epithelium covering the cervix.
Stratified squamous epithelium
Type of epithelium that lines the fallopian tubes
Simple ciliated columnar epithelium
Type of epithelium that lines the vas deferens
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with stereocilia
Describe the arrangement of the three layers of muscle in the vas deferens.
The middle layer is circular muscle, and the inner and outer layers are longitudinal.
Type of epithelium covering the surface of the ovaries
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Region of the ovary that is highly vascular
Medulla
Type of endothelium that lines the endocervical canal
Simple columnar epithelium
What type of gland is present in the lamina propria of the endocervix?
Tubular mucous
4 portions of the fallopian tube
Intramural segment - passes through the myometrial wall
Isthmus - narrow thick walled
Ampulla - long thin walled segment
Infundibulum - flared with characteristic fimbria
Sertoli cells
Tall columnar cells which lie on the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubule
Provide structural and metabolic support for developing sperm cells
Leydig cells
Clusters of interstitial cells in between the seminiferous tubules in the testes; produce and secrete testosterone
