  • Clitoris
  • Vagina/vulva
35
Q

What is breast tissue?

A

modified sweat glands w/ lactiferous ducts attached to lobules that produce milk

36
Q

What are coopers ligaments?

A

suspensory ligaments that help maintain structural integrity, supports breast tissue

37
Q

What are ovaries?

A

produce eggs and hormones, almond sized, contains set number of ovarian follicles

38
Q

What are ovarian follicles?

A

Oocytes surrounded by follicle cells in different stages of development

39
Q

What are the ovarian follicle stages?

A
  • Primordial follicle
  • Primary follicle
  • Secondary follicle
  • Graafian follicle
40
Q

What is the Graafian follicle?

A

Bulges and bursts - ovulation, turns into corpus luteum

41
Q

What are the Fallopian tubes?

A

carry egg from ovary to uterus, eggs move through by cilia and muscles, most fertilization occurs here

42
Q

What are the infundibulum?

A

funnel shaped end of Fallopian tubes, has finger like fimbriae to sweep in eggs

43
Q

What is the uterus?

A

Where the fetus grows, between bladder and rectum

44
Q

What are the sections of the uterus?

A

Body
Fundus
Cervix

45
Q

What is the cervix?

A

cervical canal goes through it connects uterus and vagina

46
Q

What are the layers of the uterine wall?

A

Perimetrium
Myometrium
Endometrium

47
Q

What does the perimetrium do?

A

outer layer, visceral peritoneum

48
Q

What does the myometrium do?

A

muscle layer, contracts during childbirth

49
Q

What does the endometrium do?

A

inner layer, epithelium, embryo implants here

50
Q

What are the uterine and ovarian ligaments?

A
Suspensory
Ovarian
Broad
Mesosalpinx
Mesovarium
Mesometrium
51
Q

What is the suspensory ligament?

A

Connects the ovary to the wall of the pelvis

52
Q

What is the ovarian ligament?

A

Connects the ovary to the lateral surface of the uterus

53
Q

What is the broad ligament?

A

flat sheet connects and covers internal genitelia

  • mesosalpinx
  • mesovarium
  • mesometrium
54
Q

What is the mesosalpinx ligament?

A

encloses Fallopian tubes

55
Q

What is the mesovarium ligament?

A

covers the surface of the ovaries

56
Q

What is the mesometrium ligament?

A

surrounds the uterus, contains the ureter

57
Q

What are the two layers of the endometrium?

A
  • Stratum functionalis

- Stratum basalis

58
Q

What is the stratum functionalis?

A

next to uterine cavity, where embryo implants and gets nutrition, thickens during menstrual cycle

59
Q

What is the stratum basalts?

A

does not thicken or shed during menstruation, produces new functionalis layer

60
Q

What is the ovarian cycle?

A

changes in ovary each month, 28 days

61
Q

What is the uterine cycle?

A

changes in uterine wall each month
