It conducts both sperm and urine, although not at the same time.

41
Q

Seminal vesicles

45
Q

Penis

A

The male copulatory organ that transfers the sperm directly to the female’s vagina.

46
Q

Primordial follicles

A

These structures are composed of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of squamous cells.

47
Q

Primary follicles

A

These follicles are larger than the primordial follicles and the primary oocytes.

  • They are surrounded by
    several layers of cuboidal cells.
48
Q

Secondary follicles

A

These follicles develop a fluid-filled cavity called the antrum that surrounds the secondary oocyte.

49
Q

zona pellucida on the inside of the antrum

53
Q

Corpus luteum

A

This is the glandular tissue that develops from the mature follicle after ovulation of the secondary
oocyte.

54
Q

Corpus luteum function

A

It is important as a temporary endocrine gland in the secretion of hormones used to maintain pregnancy.

  • If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum degrades
55
Q

Ovaries

A

These are the primary reproductive organs of females.

56
Q

Ovaries location

A

They are located on the posterior wall of the female body cavity in the superior pelvic region.

57
Q

Uterine tubes

A

These are small ducts that open into the body cavity near each of the ovaries.

  • They extend from the
    ovaries to the uterus.
58
Q

Uterine tubes function

A
  • The secondary oocyte or zygote travels from the ovaries through these tubes to the uterus.
  • Fertilization most often occurs in the uterine tubes.
59
Q

Infundibulum

A

The uterine tubes widen into a funnel-shaped structure that opens into the body cavity immediately next to the ovary.

  • The opening of the infundibulum has long, thin, feather-like projections
    called fimbriae.
60
Q

Infundibulum function

A

These structures facilitate the
movement of the secondary oocyte into the uterine
tube.

61
Q

Uterus

A

This is a thick muscular organ that lies between the uterine tubes and vagina.

  • It is positioned posterior
    to the urinary bladder and anterior to the rectum.
62
Q

Endometrium

A

The innermost layer of the uterus and serves as the location of fetal
development.

63
Q

Cervix

A

This structure is the inferior part of the uterus, immediately superior to the vagina.

64
Q

Vagina

A

This is the tube that extends from the uterus to the outside of the female’s body.

  • It is the female copulatory organ and is designed to receive the
    male’s penis.
65
Q

Vagina function

A

It also serves as the channel for
childbirth and menstruation.

66
Q

Vulva

A

This is the female’s external genitalia.

67
Q

What are the four parts of the vulva?

A
  • mons pubis
  • labia majora
  • labia minora
  • clitoris
68
Q

Mons pubis

A

This is a pad of fatty tissue that is superior to the pubic symphysis.

  • It serves to cushion the pubic
    symphysis during intercourse.
69
Q

Labia majora

A

These are a pair of thick folds of skin on either side of the vaginal opening.

  • They partially protect the
    vaginal opening and are involved in sexual arousal.
70
Q

Labia minora

A

These are a pair of smaller folds of skin that lie beneath the labia majora and surround the urethral
and vaginal openings.

71
Q

Clitoris

A

This is a small projection located between the labia majora just below the mons pubis.

  • It is homologous to the glans penis in males and functions in sexual arousal.
72
Q

The First Trimester

A

is the initial period of embryological and fetal development

73
Q

What are the four major events during the first trimester?

A

cleavage, implantation, placentation, and embryogenesis

74
Q

Zygote

A

When the secondary oocyte is fertilized it becomes a single cell

75
Q

Blastomeres.

A

zygote undergoes a series of subdivisions that reduce the amount of cytoplasm in the cells.

76
Q

Morula

A

The blastomeres subdivide for about three days to form a solid ball of cells

77
Q

Blastocyst

A

The morula reaches the
uterus around day four and during the next two days, it develops into a hollow ball of cells

78
Q

What structures are involved in cleavage?

A
  • zygote
  • blastomeres
  • morula
  • blastocyst
79
Q

Blastocyst development

A

The blastocyst is composed of two cell layers.

  • The outer layer develops into the placenta. The cells of the inner layer develop into the embryo.
80
Q

Implantation

A

occurs when the blastocyst becomes embedded in the endometrium of the mother’s uterus.

81
Q

Amniotic cavity

A

The separation yields a fluid- filled cavity

82
Q

Gastrula

A

By the twelfth day, a third cell layer develops, and the blastocyst becomes a structure

83
Q

What are the three germ layers during gastrulation?

A

ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm

84
Q

The three germ layers then develop into what four extraembryonic membranes?

A
  • Yolk sac
  • Amnion
  • Allantois
  • Chorion
85
Q

Yolk sac

A

This sac is a pouch formed from the endoderm and mesoderm.

  • It is an initial site of blood cell
    formation.
86
Q

Amnion

A
  • This membrane is formed from the ectoderm and mesoderm.
  • It lines the inner surface of the amniotic cavity.
  • The fluid contained within the cavity is called the amniotic fluid.
  • The amnion and the amniotic
    fluid surround and protect the growing embryo.
87
Q

Allantois

A

This membrane is formed from the endoderm and mesoderm.

  • It eventually gives rise to the urinary bladder.
88
Q

Chorion

A

This membrane is formed from the mesoderm and the outer cell layer of the blastocyst.

  • The chorion differentiates into the fetal portion of the placenta as
    the embryo enlarges.
89
Q

Placentation

A

is the development and differentiation of the fetal and maternal portions of the placenta.

90
Q

Chorionic villi

A

The chorion develops finger-like projections

91
Q

Lacunae

A

small chambers in the maternal placenta

92
Q

Umbilical cord

A

contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein.

93
Q

Embryogenesis

A

is the differentiation of the body of the embryo and the rudimentary development of the organ systems.
