| The female reproductive system provides the female with what | sex hormones, oocyte production and support fertilisation and growth of the fetus and baby |
| The follicle is the what unit of the ovary and regresses to form the | functional unit of the ovary regressions to form of the corpus luteum and corpus albicans. |
| The Fallopian tubes contain three parts. What are they? | Infundibulum, Ampulla, Isthmus) as well as about 20 Fimbriae |
| Where should the occyte implant where | oocyte should be fertilized within the ampulla to ensure implantation of the embryo into the uterus |
| What is considered a ectoptic pregancy | oocyte implants outside the fallopian tube |
| What are the sturture of the utuerus | fundus, the body and the cervix |
| What is a vagina? | is an elastic muscular tube connective the cervix to the vestibule of the vulva |
| The vagina connects to the | cervix to the vestibule of the vulva |
| What is included in the vulva | anatomical name for the external female genitalia including the mons pubis, the labia majora and minora, the clitoris and prepuce, the urethral orifice, the vaginal orifice and vestibular glands. |
| True or false: The breast contains a series of ducts and sinuses which release milk through the nipple | True, these structures are englarged in lactating women but are present in all breat tissue. |
| What is the corpus Lutem" yellow body" in the ovary | a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries and is involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone and moderate levels of estradiol |
| What is the Corpus Albicans in the ovary | a scar on the surface of the ovary that is a remnant of ovulation. |
| The ovary is anchored to the body wall by what liagment | the broad ligament |
| The ovary is the only intraperitonal organ- true or false | true |
| What is the function of the suspensory liagement | attaches the lateral eadge of the ovary and projects superlaterally to the pelvic wall |
| What is the mesovarium | the part of the broad ligament covering the ovary at the hilum |
| What are the 4 segements of the fallopian tube | 1. fimbriae 2. Infundibulum 3.Ampulla 4.Isthmus |
| What is the fimbriae | fingerlike structure surrounding the infundibulum and extending outward from the Fallopian tube. Catches the egg when released |
| What is the Infundibulum In fallopian tube | catches and channels the released eggs; it is the wide distal (outermost) portion of each fallopian tube |
| What is the Ampulla In fallopian tube | The ampulla is the middle part of the oviduct where fertilization and early cleavage of the fertilized ovum occur. The highly muscular isthmus transports the fertilized ovum (embryo) from the site of fertilization into the uterine lumen. |
| What is the Isthmus In fallopian tube | he isthmus is a small region, only about 2 cm (0.8 inch) long, that connects the ampulla and infundibulum to the uterus |
| The uterus is posteroir or anteroir to the bladder | posteroir |
| The uterus has poor or great blood supply | great supply |
| The fundus of the uterus connects where | most posteroir of the uterus, connects to the fallopian tubes |
| True or false, the cervix is the lower part of the uterus | true- leads into the vagina |
| What is a retroverted uterus | occurs when a woman's uterus (womb) tilts backward rather than forward. |
| The Uterube wall consists of what 3 layers | 1. Endotherlium 2. Myometrium 3. Perimetrium |
| What is the Myometrium | The muscular middle layer of the uterus. |
| what is the endometrium of the uterus | the lining of the uterus. It is one of the few organs in the human body that changes in size every month throughout a person's fertile years.Layer that is shed during menstration |
| what is the Perimetrium Of the uterus | the outer serous layer of the uterus. The serous layer secretes a lubricating fluid that helps to reduce friction. |
| What is the Recto-uterine Pouch | pouch between the uterus and rectum |
| What is the vesico-uterine pouch | pouch between the uterus and bladder |
| What is the vagina | Elastic, muscular tube lined by startified squamous epithelium |
| Where does the vagina lie | lies between the urinary bladder and the rectum ( posteroir) |
| The angle of antuflexion is the angle of | angle of the utueru tilt from the cervix |
| The angle of antiversion is the angle of | the angle of how the cervix tilts from the cervix from the vagina |
| The superoir end of the vagina is most post or anteroir | most posteroir |
| Does the urthra run parraell to the vagina anteroirly or posteroirly | anteroirly |
| What is the Mons pubis | Skin and subcutaneous connective tissue |
| What is the Labia majora | Paired, thickened folds of skin, sebaceous glands, connective tissue |
| What is the Labia minora | Paired, highly vascular folds with sebaceous glands and melanocytes |
| What is the Clitoris | Small erectile body anterior to labia minora |
| What is the Prepuce | Fold of labia minora covering clitoris |
| What is the Vestibule | Translates to antechamber- The vestibule is between the labia minora and extends from the clitoris to the posterior fourchette |
| True or false Production of mucus for lubrication from two main accessory glands equivalent to the prostate and bulbourethral gland respectively | Very true |
| What is the The greater vesicular gland (Bartholin's gland | The opening of which is either side of vaginal opening |
| What is the The lesser vestibular gland (skene’s gland) | The opening of which is either side of the urethral opening. May also aid in antimicrobial protection of the urethra |
| The vestibular bulb | contains erectile tissue equivalent to corpus spongiosum –associated with but not in the clitoris) |
| The Fourchette is the | frenulum that forms where the labia minora meet posteriorly • It is also known as the frenulum of the labia minora or the posterior commissure of the labia minora • It may be torn during delivery |
| What is the urinary triangle | Females: clitoris and the urethral and vaginal orifices • Males: the base of the penis and the scrotum |
| The Compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland is located | located within the anterior thoracic wall (2-6 th rib) |
| What is the function of the Lactiferous ducts | drain milk from lobe to sinus |
| What is the function of the Lactiferous sinuses: | expanded end of ducts near nipple; milk storage prior to release from the nipple |
| What is Prolactin | stimulates production of breast milk |
| What is Oxytocin | is responsible for milk ejection |
| What is a nipple | d structure surrounded by areola containing multiple tiny openings |
