1. CHAPTER 1 The anatomy of the female reproductive system Section 1 Pelvis Section 2 External genital organs Section 3 Internal genital organs Section 4 Neighbouring organs Section 5 Vascular ,lymphatic and nervous system Section 6 Pelvic floor

2. Section 1 Pelvis • （一）composition • 1．bone：sacrum，coccyx，2 coxae（ilium,ischium,pubis） • 2．joints：pubic symphysis，sacro-iliac j.sacro-coccygeal j. • 3．ligaments：sacro-tuberous lig. • Sacro-spinous lig. • （二）Boundary of pelvis • the linea terminalis differentiating the true from the false pelvis

3. （三）plane • 1． inlet plane 2． largest plane • 3． mid-plane 4． outlet-plane • （四）inclination • Def：the angle which the plane of the superior strait forms with the horizon. • （五）axis • Def：the line through the center of the four imaginary planes. • （六）classification

4. Sec tion 2 External genital organs • mons veneris • labium majus • labium minus • clitoris • vaginal vestibule • vestibular bulb,Bartholin's gland • urethral orifice,vaginal orifice and hymen

5. Vestibular bulb Urethral orifice Vestibular gland Vaginal orifice hymen vestibule

6. Section 3 Internal genital organs • （一） vagina • （二） uterus • 1． Anatomic structure • fundus,corpus,cervix • 2．Histologic structure • ① endometrium:functional/basal layer • ② myometrium • ③ serosal layer

7. 3． ligaments • ① round lig. • ② broad lig. • ③ cardinal lig. • ④ uterosacral lig. • （三）fallopian tube • 1． interstitial portion • 2． isthmic portion • 3． ampulla • 4． infundibulum • （四）ovary

8. Section4 neighbouring organs • urethra • urinary bladder • ureter • rectum • appendix vermiformis

9. Section 6 pelvic floor • （一）external layer • 1，bulbocavernosus m. • 2，ischiocavernosus m. • 3，superficial transverse perineal m. • 4，external sphincter m.of anus • （二）urogenital diaphragm • 1．superior/inferior facia • 2. deep transverse perineal m. • 3．Compressor of urethra
