  • Back
where the ovum/ egg is produced
ovaries
ovum travels through this to uterus-- fertilization takes place here
uterine tubes
implantation takes place here
uterus
opens to external genitalia
vagina
this is an extensive mesentery that encloses ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus
broad ligament
mesovarium
ovaries
mesosalpinx
uterine tubes
broad ligament proper
uterus
what are the 2 pouches that are created by the broad ligament
rectouterine pouch
vesicouterine
this pouch is between uterus and rectum
rectouterine
this poud is between the bladder and uterus
vesicouterine
paired organ responsible for production for ova/eggs and secretion of hormones
ovary
supports the ovary and is located between the ovary and uterus
ovarian ligament
supports the ovary and is located between the ovary and lateral pelvic wall
- contains ovarian artery and vein
suspensory ligament
what are the 4 layers of the ovary (outside to inside)
visceral/ germinal epithelium
tunica albuginea
cortex
medulla
production of ova on a monthly basis -- part of ovarian cycle
oogenesis
this structure completes mitotic division prior to birth so all primary oocytes are present at birth
oogonia
where are oogonia located?
ovarian cortex in egg nest
what surrounds each primary oocyte?
follicular cells called primordial follicle
most primary oocytes degenerate and become what?
atretic follicles
what is the first step of the ovarian cycle?
primordial follicles become primary follicles
what hormone is secreted in the 1st step of the ovarian cycle?
estrogens
the following are functions are what hormone?

- stimulates bone and muscle growth
-maintain secondary female sex characteristics
- influences sex related behaviors and drives
- maintains reproductive glands
- initiates repari and growth of uterine lining
estrogen
what is the 2nd step of the ovarian cycle?
formation of primary follicle into secondary follicle
what is the 3rd step of the ovarian cycle?
secondary follicle develops into tertiary follicle
which estrogen is most important
- dominant hormone prior to ovulation
estradiol
another name for a tertiary follicle
mature ovarian follicle and graafian follicle
at what stage does primary oocyte divide into secondary oocyte and polar body? and if fertilization occurs then ovum and polar body..
step 3 of ovarian cycle
this is the 4th step of the ovarian cycle
gamete release-- ovulation
follicular cells surround the oocyte are known as...... after the secondary oocyte breaks free
corona radiata
period between the start of the cycle and the completion of ovulation...anywhere between 7-28 days
follicular phase
what is the 5th step in the ovarian cycle
formation of corpus luteum
this is the 5th step of ovarian cycle
formation of corpus luteum
this is the 6th step of the ovarian cycle
formation of corpus albicans
hollow muscular tube that is divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, and uterine part
- function to transport the secondary oocyte to either become fertilized or degenerate
uterine tubes
part of uterine tubes closest to ovary
- expanded funnel with fimbriae with cilia
infundibulum
part of uterine tube where fertilization usually takes place
ampulla
part of uterine tubes that connects to uterus
uterine part
strong muscular organ which serves as protection, nutrition, support, and waste removal of developing embryo if ovum fertilized
uterus
these ligaments support the uterus (3)
broad, round, lateral/ cardinal
these ligametns hold the base of uterus and vagina to lateral walls of pelvis
lateral/ cardinal ligaments
what are the 4 parts of the uterus?
fundus
body
isthmus
cervix
part of wall of uterus
- thickest part
- muscular layer- smooth muscle
myometrium
part of wall of uterus
- receives arteries from uterine arteries
- supports growing fetus
- divided into basilar and functional zone
endometrium
zone of endometrium that attaches endometrium to myometrium
- remains constant
basilar zone
zone of endometrium that makes up most of thickness of endometrium
- undergoes cyclical changes
functional zone
what are the 3 stages of the uterine/ menstraul cycle
menses, proliferative, secretory
elastic muscular tube extending from the cervix to the vestibule
vagina
recess caused by cervix projecting into the vagina
fornix
space between labia minora
vestibule
