A

egg cell (female)

19
Q

what is the function of the fallopian tubes

A

FERTILIZE, receive sperm, provide safe environment for embryo

20
Q

labia majora/minora function

A

protect vagina

21
Q

bartholins gland function

A

secrete lubricating fluid

22
Q

what is the clitoris

A

erectile tissue

23
Q

ovaries

A

female gonads// produce estrogen/ progestorone

24
Q

what is the canal that carries MATURE eggs to uterus

A

fallopian tubes

25
Q

what are the phases of the ovarian cycle

A

follicular, ovulation, luteal phase

26
Q

what is the pneumonic to remember ovarian cycle

A

Fuck You Linda

27
Q

What happens during the Follicular phase during the ovarian cycle

A

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) stimulates mature follicle, secrete estrogen (helps rejuvinate uterine lining)

28
Q

what happens during the ovulation phase of the ovarian cycle

A

Releases oocyte, Lutenizing Hormone (LH) –> release progesterone

29
Q

what happens during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle

A

forms corpus luteum

30
Q

what happens if their is no egg during the luteal phase

A

corpus luteum regresses

31
Q

what is an oocyte

A

immature egg

32
Q

what does the corpus luteum do

A

releases progesterone, help uterine lining

33
Q

what are the phases of the uterine cycle

A

Proliferative phase, secretory phase

34
Q

what happens during the proliferative phase of the uterine cycle

A

regenerate uterine lining

35
Q

what happens during the secretory phase of the uterine cycle

A

endometrium increaseses in vascularity, nutrients secreted, preps for implantation

36
Q

what happens during the secretory phase without implantation

A

endmetrium sheds –> menstration

37
Q

what happens during pregnancy

A

blastocyst implants to uterine lining, increase progesterone, increase estrogen

38
Q

what happens during partuition

A

increase glucocorticoids, Oxytocin and Estrogen –> increase uterine contraction

39
Q

what does glucocorticoids do

A

increase estrogen, decrease progesterone
