| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Colectively the mons pubis, labia majora and minora, clitoris, hymen and vestibular glands are referred to as... | Vulva |
| A mound of adipose tissue that covers the pubic symphysis | Mons Pubis |
| Two large skin covered folds of adipose tissue | Labia Majora |
| Two smaller, hairless skin covered folds of adipose tissue | Labia Minora |
| Protective covering of the clitoris the labia minora joins to form | Prepuce or Hood |
| Cylidrical column of erectile tissue | Clitoris |
| Releases mucus to lubercate the vagina, located on the lateral sides | Vestibular Glands |
| Thin connective tissue located around the perimeter of the vagina | Hymen |
| Space enclosed by the labia minora that includes the vaginal orifice and urethral orifice | Vestibule |
| Large diamond shape region that extends from the mons pubis to the anus | Perineum |
| Area between vaginal orifice and the anus | Clinical Perineum |
| Two suspended almond shaped glands | Ovaries |
| Thin, sheet like broad ligament attaches to both ovaries | Mesovarium |
| Mesovarium on the surface of the ovary is called and gives rise to 90% of ovarian cancers. | Germinal Epithelium |
| Double layer peritoneal membrane that functions to reduce friction between ovaries and other structures as well as anchor to the pelvic wall | Broad Ligament |
| Paired lateral ligament that attach the ovary to the pelvic wall and provide a pathway for the ovarian vessels | Suspensory Ligament |
| Supportive ligaments resposible for attaching ovaries to the uterus | Medial Left & Right Ovarian Ligaments |
| Female sex cell | Oocyte |
| Sex hormaonse produced by the ovaries | Estrogen & Progesterone |
| Formation of the oocyte is called | Oogenesis |
| The relase of one oocyte from an ovary | Ovulation |
| Fibrous covering of the ovaries | Tunica Albuginea |
| Internal inner region of the ovary composed of loose connective tissue, blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves | Medulla |
| Internal outer region of the ovary composed of compact tissue containing tiny masses of cells | Cortex |
| Tiny masses of cells within the cortex that are composed of single layer squamous epithelial cells completly surrounding an oocyte | Primordial Ovarian Follicle |
| Tiny masses of a single layer of cuboidal cells surrounding an oocyte | Primary Ovarian Follicle |
| Tiny masses of a multi layer cells surrounding an oocyte | Secondary Ovarian Follicle |
| Follicle with an antrum surrounding the oocyte | Mature Follicle |
| Immature oocyte that has not completed myosis I | Primary Oocyte |
| Around the time of ovulation an oocyte completes myosis I creating a single cell known as a polar body | Secondary Oocyte |
| Fluid filled area of the mature follicle | Antrum |
| Jelly like substance surrounding the secondary oocyte | Zona Pellucida |
| When released the secondary oocyte is surrounded by follicle cells known as | Corona Radiata |
| Ruptured follicle divide and produce progesterone that is visably yellow | Corpus Luteum |
| Corpus luteum function is to maintain _________ & ________ levels until the placenta takes over. | Estrogen & Progesterone |
| Corpus luteum cells die if pregnancy does not occur leaving white scar tissue | Corpus Albicans |
| Hollow pear shaped structure thats funtion is to contain a fetus and propel in into the world | Uterus |
| Outer, delicate layer of the uterus formed from the visceral peritoneum of the broad ligament | Perimetrium |
| Middle, thick layer of the uterian wall composed of three layers of smooth muscle | Myometrium |
| Inner layer of the uterus composed of blood vessles and gladular epithelium | Endometrium |
| Composed of smooth muscle and ciliated columnar epithelium it functions to receive and transport fertilized oocyte | Uterine Tubes |
| Funnel shaped distal portion of the uterine tube that receives the ovulated secondary oocyte | Infundibulum |
| Finger like projections that sweep the ovulated secondary oocyte into the infundibulum | Fimbriae |
| From the infundibulum to oocyte moves to ... | Ampulla |
| Opens to the superior lateral body of the uterus and has a thick muscular wall but a very narrow lumen | Isthmus |
| Inferior portion of the uterus, functions to connect the uterus and vagina. Composed of smooth muscle cells. | Cervix |
| External opening of the cervical canal composed of nonkeratinized stratified epithelium | External Os |
| Internal opening of the cervical canal, composed of simple columnar epithelial | Internal Os |
| Vaginal canal remains closed due to folds known as | Rugae |
| Modified sweat glands that function to secrete and produce milk | Mamory Glands |
| Pigmented external portion of the breasts | Areola |
| Raised external portion of the breasts | Nipple |
| External openings found on the nipple | Lactiferous Duct Openings |
| Glands that produce milk and are arranged around the lactiferous ducts | Alveoli |
| Widening of the lactiferous duct at the opening | Lactiferous Sinus |
| A colection of alveolar glands drained into a single lactiferous duct forms a ________ and many form a ________ | Lobule & Lobe |
