5
The Female Reproductive System
The Function Comprises external and internal organs, glands, and structures and is responsible for supporting conception and pregnancy. As a female matures, the system develops and changes due to hormones (estrogen & progesterone)
6
The Female Reproductive System
Internal Organs of the Female Reproductive System Ovaries pair of almond-shaped organs located in the pelvic cavity. Egg cells are formed and stored in the ovaries ovum (pl. ova) – female egg cell graafian follicles – 100,000 microscopic sacs that make up a large portion of the ovaries. Each follicle contains an immature ovum Normally one graafian follicle develops to maturity monthly between puberty and menopause
7
The Female Reproductive System
Uterine, or fallopian, tubes pair of 5-inch (12-13cm) tubes, attached to the uterus, that provide a passageway for the ovum, which passes into the uterine tube fimbria (pl. fimbriae) – finger-like projection at the free end of the uterine tube Uterus pear-sized and pear-shaped muscular organ that lies in the pelvic cavity, except during pregnancy when it enlarges and extends up into the abdominal cavity. Its functions are menstruation, pregnancy, and labor
8
The Female Reproductive System
endometrium – inner lining of the uterus myometrium – muscular middle layer of the uterus perimetrium – outer thin layer that covers the surface of the uterus corpus, or body – large central portion of the uterus fundus – rounded upper portion of the uterus cervix (Cx) – narrow lower portion of the uterus Vagina a 3-inch (7-8cm) tube that connects the uterus to the outside of the body hymen – fold of membrane found near the opening of the vagina
9
The Female Reproductive System
rectouterine pouch pouch between the posterior wall of the uterus and the anterior wall of the rectum (Douglas cul-de-sac) Glands of the Female Reproductive System Bartholin glands pair of mucus-producing glands located on each side of the vagina and just above the vaginal opening
10
The Female Reproductive System
Mammary glands, or breasts pair of milk-producing glands of the female. Each breast consists of divisions, or lobes mammary papilla – breast nipple areola – pigmented area around the breast nipple
11
The Female Reproductive System
External Female Reproductive Structures Vulva, or external genitalia two pairs of lips (labia majora and labia minora) that surround the vagina clitoris – highly erogenous erectile body located anterior to the urethra Perineum pelvic floor in both the male and female in females it usually refers to the area between the vaginal opening and the anus
