1 Medical Terminology Chapter 13 Female Reproductive System

2 Female Reproductive System Anatomy and Physiology F ovaries F fallopian tubes F uterus  fundus  cervix F vagina  myometrium  endometrium

3 Ovaries F two almond-shaped organs on either side of the uterus F contain hundreds of thousands of ova F all ova are present at birth F each ovum is surrounded by a single layer of cells comprising a follicle F ova are the female gametes

4 Fallopian Tubes F oviducts, uterine tubes: salping/o F extend laterally from each side of the uterus supported by the broad ligament F outer ends of the tube are open to receive a released ovum F finger-like projections at the outer ends (fimbriae) propel the ova into the tube F fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes

5 Uterus (Womb) F pear-shaped organ with very strong, smooth muscle walls with a mucosal membrane lining called the endometrium F hyster/o, metr/o, metri/o, uter/o F endometrium responsive to hormonal changes F anteflexion (normal position) F cervix

6 Vagina F tubular structure extending backward and upward to the cervix F lined with mucosa F colp/o and vagin/o
