| salping/o | uterine tube |
| uter/o | uterus |
| vagin/o | vagina |
| vulv/o | vulva |
| Female Gametes | ova and eggs |
| the ovaries are enclosed in a capsule called | tunica albuginca |
| broad ligament | an extension of the peritoneum |
| what holds the ovaries and uterine tubes in their relative position to the uterus | broad ligament |
| suspensory ligament | attaches the lateral edge of the ovary to the posterior wall of the pelvic cavity and enclose the ovarian artery and vein |
| ovarian ligament | attaches the medial edge of the ovary to the uterus |
| internal secondary female reproductive structures | uterus, uterine tubes and vagina |
| external secondary female structures | vulva |
| The vulva, part of the external female reproductive system, includes structures like | the mons pubis, labia, clitoris, vestibular bulbs, and glands, |
| the mons pubis, labia, clitoris, vestibular bulbs, and glands located | the perineum |
| uterus consists of three layers | perimetrium, myometrium, endometrium |
| a pear-shaped organ, is supported by broad and round ligaments, typically resting above the urinary bladder. | the uterus |
| perimetrium | this is the outermost layer of the uterine wall |
| visceral peritoneum | outer most layer of the uterine wall also know as perimetrium |
| myometrium | the thickest layer of the uterine wall |
| composed of smooth muscle that contracts to expel uterine contents whether the contents be lining that is shed each month or a fetus during birth | myometrium |
| endometrium | this layer is lining of the uterus |
| the endometrium has two sublayers | stratum functionalis and the stratum basalis |
| The stratum functionalis, | the top layer, blooms and sheds each month, akin to seasonal flowers. |
| The stratum basalis, | the deeper layer, acts like perennial roots, regenerating the upper layer anew. |
| disorder characterized by pregnancy induced hypertensions | |
| The two sex chromosomes in a female zygote | XX |
| _____ is an overgrowth of the uterine lining in places other than in the uterus. | endometriosis |
| Oogenesis | the process which female eggs or ova are produced in the ovaries |
| atresia | degeneration of ovarian follicles that dont mature |
| Folliculogenesis | the development of ovarian follicles, which house the eggs, but it’s not the actual production of eggs. |
| oxytocin is produced by the | posterior pituitary |
| the two main roles of the posterior pituitary | Stimulates uterine contractions during labor (not suppression). Stimulates milk let-down from mammary glands in response to a baby suckling. |
| Sodium/water retention | aldosterone |
| Suppressing uterine contractions | progesterone |
| parathyroid hormone and calcitonin | calcium balance |
| the three areas of the uterus | fundus, body and cervix |
| the broad curve is | fundus |
| the wide midportion is | body |
| the narrow inferior portion | cervix ( neck ) |
| the uterine tubes open to the uterus between the | fundus |
| the body and the cervix opens to the | vagina |
| mucous glands | lining of the cervix produce a thick to block bacteria from entering the uterus from the vagina |
| menses | shedding of the uterine lining |
| what happens during menstruation | uterine lining is shed from the uterus by smooth muscle contractions of the myometrium through the cervical canal to the vagina and out the body |
| ridges in the vaginal wall | vaginal rugae |
| hymen | thin membrane that partially covers the external vaginal opening. It typically has holes by puberty for menstrual flow |
| what happens during puberty | estrogen causes the lining of the vagina to undergo metaplasia |
| mons pubis | mound of adipose tissue covered with pubic hair and is superficial to the pubic symphysis |
| labia | are folds of skin and adipose tissue that frame the vestibule |
| vestibule | an area which contains the urethral and vaginal openings |
| labia majora | lateral folds are thicker and have hair |
| labia minora | medial folds are thinner and hairless |
| prepuce | fold formed where the labia minora meet anteriorly |
| what forms a hood over the clitoris | prepuce |
| clitoris | |
| vestibular bulbs | the vaginal opening is bracketed on each side by vestibular bulbs of erectile tissue deep to the labia majora |
| vestibular glands | surround the vaginal opening |
| each breast is composed of | adipose tissue and collagen |
| suspensory ligaments support | breast structure |
| areolar glands prevent nipple _____ during pregnancy | chafing |
| milk is produced through 1. | myoepithelial cells |
| milk is drained by 2. | laciferous ducts |
| third step to milk production | lactiferous sinuses |
| a females hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary of her endocrine system produce the hormones | GnRH, FSH, and LH |
