| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The primary sex organs of the female reproduction system are what? | the paired female gonads called ovaries |
| The ovaries are the shape of what and located where? | shape = un-shelled almond location = in the superior portion of the pelvic cavity one on each side of the uterus |
| What is the name of the structure that attaches an ovary to the uterus? | utero-ovarian ligament |
| What is the ovary responsible for ? | 1) Oogenesis 2) production of female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone |
| What are immature oocytes called? | ova |
| What are developing ova called? | follicles |
| The pituitary gland produces a hormone that is responsible for the maturation of a follicle what is the hormone? | FSH and is released approximately every 28 days |
| What is the hormone the pituitary gland produces that stimulates ovulation? | LH = luteinizing hormone |
| What is ovulation ? | the expulsion of an ovum from the ovary |
| The average woman can ovulate approximately for how many years and times over her life time? | 37 years for 450 times and usually ovaries alternate ovulation |
| If the ovaries ovulate at the sames time and two ova are fertilized , the results will create what kind of twins? | fraternal ( dizygotic ) twins |
| If a ovum splits it's genetic material ( DNA) into two separated ova that results will be what kind of twins? | identical ( mono-zygotic) twins |
| The structure that transports ova to the uterus are called what? | uterine tubes, fallopian tubes, oviducts (U.F.O) |
| The finger like projections of the fallopian tubes that catches the expelled ovum are called what? | fimbriae |
| An ovum will be moved into and through an oviduct by what 4 actions? | 1) a waving action of the fimbriae, 2) ciliary (hair) action, 3) peristalsis, 4) muscle contraction in the wall of the uterine tubes |
| Estrogen released during puberty causes the development of what secondary female sexual characteristic ? | 1) menstruation, 2) breast development 3) pubic, body and axillary hair 4) pelvic bones widen 5) fat deposits ( adipose tissue) in the skin to cause a soft look |
| What is fertilization ( conception)? | union of a sperm with an ovum |
| What is gestation ( pregnancy)? | development of fertilized ovum form conception to birth |
| What is the AKA for the uterus and where is it located and what is it's shape? | AKA = womb location= in the pelvic cavity between the urinary bladder and the rectum shape= inverted pear |
| How should the uterus be angled? | angled forward in an anteflexion position |
| The uterus is where the fertilized ovum does what? | 1) implants 2) develops into a fetus 3) expelled during labor |
| What is the fundus? | the superior portion of the uterus |
| What is the corpus (body)? | the middle portion of the uterus |
| The inferior portion (neck) of the uterus is called what? | cervix |
| The interior of the corpus of the uterus is called what? | uterine cavity |
| The interior of the cervix is called what? | cervical canal |
| The opening of the cervix into the vagina is called what? | external os |
| The outer layer of the uterus is called what? | The perimetrium (uterine serosa) |
| The middle (muscle) layer of the uterus is called what? | The myometrium |
| The innermost layer of the uterus is called what? | The endometrium |
| The region between the uterus and the rectum ( recto uterine pouch) is called what? | Douglas' cul-de-sac |
| What is menstruation / menses ? | the cyclic sloughing of the endometrium |
| the menses cycle varies from woman to woman with an average of how many days? | 24-35 days |
| There are 4 phases to a woman menses what are they? | 1) menstrual phase (days 1-5). 2)Pre-ovulatory phase (days 6-13) Ovulatory phase (day 14) 4) post-ovulatory phase (days 15-28) |
| What is the menstrual phase of a menses? | the phase where the endometrium is sloughed (discarded) |
| What is the pre-ovulatory phase of a menses? | the phase where the endometrium lining thickens in preparation for implantation |
| What is the ovulatory phase of a menses? | the phase where the ovum is expelled from the ovary |
| The post-ovulatory phase of a menses has two different directions the phase can go. What are they? | 1) the endometrium continues to thicken and develop in order to receive the fertilized ovum 2) the endometrium atrophies and will be shed during the menstrual phase |
| What are the hormones for thickening and development of the endometrium during the a menses? | estrogen and progesterone |
| Most BCPs(OCPs) are varying dosage of what 2 hormones? | estrogen and progesterone |
| The tissue that will form a connection between the material and fetal blood supplies is called what? | the placenta |
| A hormone produced by the placenta that will support the developing pregnancy is what? | HCG ( human chorionic gonadotropin) |
| What hormone do EPT's used in-order to detect a pregnancy? | HCG |
| EPTs can be performed on a woman by what 2 methods? | urine and serum (blood) |
| The placenta also secrets increasing levels if estrogen and progesterone to support the pregnancy and cause what changes to the female body. | 1) breast ( mammary tissue) 2) milk production ( lactogenesis) |
| The vagina is a tubular structure which is lined with what type of membrane ? | mucous |
| What are the functions for the vagina? | 1)passage for menstruation 2) the receptacle for the penis, semen,and sperm during intercourse,(coitus,cpulation)3)inferior portion of the birth canal |
| What is the fornix? | the connection between the vagina and cervix |
| The external female genitalia has two names what are they? | vulva or pudendum |
| the mound of elevated adipose tissue that becomes covered with pubic hair is called what? | mons pubis or veneris |
| What are the two lips of the vagina orifice ? | Labia Majora (outer lips) and Labia Minora ( inner Lips) |
| What is the small cylindrical mass of erectile tissue with nerves found at the anterior junction of the labia minora? | the clitoris |
| The opening or region within the labia majora and labia minora is called what? | the vestibule |
| Within the vestibule is a thin fold of tissue that partially closes the distal end of the vagina is called what? | hymen |
| Posterior to and on either side of the urethral os are mucus secreting glands are called what? | the lesser vestibular glands AKA Skene's glands |
| On both sides of the vaginal os are two small mucus producing (lubrication) glands are called what? | the greater vestibular glands AKA Bartholin's glands |
| The region between the vaginal os and anus is usually referred to as what? | perineum |
| Anterior to the pectoralis major and minor muscles of the thorax are modified sudoriferous glands called what? | mammary glands |
| Each mammary gland has 15-20 lobs ,each lobe has smaller compartments called what? | lobules |
| The size and shape of the breasts are determined by the location and amount of what kind of tissue that is deposited? | adipose |
| The milk producing (lactogenic) cells located in the lobules called what? | alveoli |
| The milk is stored where in the breasts of the female? | ampullae or lactiferous sinuses |
| the milk travels from the alveoli to the lactiferous sinuses the what ducts? | lactiferous |
| A nipple is also called what? | mammary papilla |
| The dark pigmented region surrounding a nipple (papilla) is called what? | the areola |
| The process of secreting and ejecting milk is called what? | lactation |
| What is the hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of milk ? | lactogenesis = prolactin |
