Reproductive System Flashcards
purposes of female reproductive system
produces and delivers games and provides nutrition and safe harbor for fetal development gives birth and nourishes infant
where is external genitalia located
perineum
what is in perineum
clitoris, labia minora, labia majora
what are the part of the vulva and pudendum
clitoris, vestibular bulbs and greater and lesser vestibular and paraurethral glands
clitoris
erectile sensory organ (blood supply)
vestibular bulbs
erectile tissue deep to labia majora
greater and lesser vestibular and paraurethral glands
open into vestibular for lubrication
mons pons
fat over pubic symphysis with most of pubic hair
labia majora
thick folds and adipose tissue inferior to the mons has hair
pudendal cleft
fissure between labia majora
labia minora
hairless folds medial of labia majora
labia minora forms
vestibular=urethral and vaginal openings
ova
egg cells
what produces egg cell and sex hormones
ovaries
where do the germ cells develop
outer cortex of ovaries
each egg develops in its
own fluid filled follicle
ovaries are attached to uterus by
ovarian ligament
ovaries are attached to pelvic wall
suspensory ligament
another name for uterine tube
Fallopian tube
ovaries are anchored to broad ligament by
mesovarian
where do ovarian veins lymphatics and nerves travel through
suspensory ligament
fallopian tubes go from
ovary to uterus
infundibulum
flared trumpet shaped distal ovarian end
fimbriae
feathery projections on infundibulum
ampulla
middle and longest part
isthmus
narrower end towards uterus
uterus
muscular chamber pear like shaped that opens to roof of vagina
fundus
broad superior curvature
body (corpus)
middle
cervix
cylindrical inferior end
parts of uterus
fundus, body, cervix
lumen
roughly triangular potential space
what connects lumen to vagina
cervical canal
cervical glands
secrete mucus that prevents spread of microorganisms from vagina to uterus
parts of uterine wall
perimetrium, myometrium, endometrium
perimetrium
external serosa layer
myometrium
smooth muscle middle most of uterine wall
endometrium
inner mucosa, simple columnar epithelial
layers of endometrium
functional layer, basal layer
functional layer
superficial half shed each menstrual period
basal layer
regenerates new functional layer with each menstrual cycle
where is the site of attachment of the embryo and placenta where fetus is nourished
endometrium
endometriosis
growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus
vagina glands or no
no
vagina allows for
discharge of mentrual fluid, recept of penis and semen and birth of baby
what forms hymen
mucosal folds
vagina undergoes
metaplasia simple cubiodial then estrogen that transform it into stratified squamous
what does the female reproductive tract develop from
paramesonephric ducts
what do paramesonephric ducts develop into
uterine tubes uterus and vagina
how many eggs is a female born with
2 mil
hormone process of development of reproductive tract
rising levels of GnRH which stimulates A.P. to secrete FSH and LH
first central cycle
menarche
what does menarche require
at least 17% body fat
