  1. Chapter 8 Female Reproductive System

  2. Organs of the System • Ovaries • Fallopian Tubes-fimbriae, cilia • Uterus- fundus top • Vagina • Bartholin Gland • Clitoris • Labia- • Minora • Majora • Perineum

  3. Female System

  4. Ovaries • Developed before birth and contain all of the immature ova • Ova are contained in the graafin follicles and erupt at ovulation • The site of ovulation develops into the corpus luteum • Hormones estrogen and progresterone are produced by the ovaries

  5. Ovary Anatomy

  6. Oocytes

  7. Fallopian Tubes • Transport the ova to the uterus • Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tubes • Cilia within the structure transport the ova toward the uterus • The journey takes about 5 to 7 days • If cilia are damaged a person may experience fertility problems or ectopic pregnancy

  8. Fallopian Tube

  9. Uterus • Fundus- upper round end • Corpus- larger central portion (largest part) • Cervix- mouth of the uterus • Layers of the organ • Endometrium- Epithelial Mucosa- develops vacular tissue for fetal attachment and nurishment • Myometrium-muscular middle layer • Uterine serosa- outer layer of the organ

  10. Vagina • Muscluar tube that leads out of the body • Birth Canal • Lined with mucosa cells • Most common site where sexually transmitted infections enter

  11. Glands • Bartholins- produce mucous to lubricate the vagina • Clitoris- sensitive erectile tissue responsible for sexual response

  12. Labia • Protective folds of tissue located on the exterior of the body

  13. External View

  14. hymen • Thin tissue that partially covers the opening of the vagina • No know function • Not necessarily present at birth

  15. Breast Tissue • Mammary Glands-glandular tissue that produce milk when stimulated by hormones • Fatty tissue • Fibrous tissue • Mammary papilla- nipple area • Areola- darker area around the nipple

  16. Mammary Glands

  17. Menstrual Cycle • Controlled by hormones produced by the pituitary gland and ovaries • Menarche- first menstruation • Menopause- cessation of fertility and diminished hormone production • Ovulation takes place in the middle of the cycle and the cycle starts with menstruation

  18. Menstrual Cycle
