thick muscular chamber that opens into the roof of the vagina
fundus- broad superior curvature
body (corpus)- middle portion
cervix- cylindrical inferior end

Front 11

what is the function of the uterus?

Back 11

protects and nurtures growing embryo
harbours fetus, provides source of nutrition, and expels fetus at the end of development

Front 12

how is the uterus positioned? what is an occasional uterus positioning problem and what is it called?

Back 12

usually tilts forward over urinary bladder
retroverted uterus= uterus tilted backward and sit funny on tailbone and can snap tailbone during birth

Front 13

what are the three layers of the uterus?

Back 13

perimetrium- external serosa
myometrium- smooth muscle
endometrium (uterine glands)- functional basal layer shed during menstruation

Front 14

ligaments of the female reproductive system

Back 14

suspensory- attaches ovary to pelvic wall
ovarian- attaches ovary to uterus
broad- attaches uterus to pelvic wall(holds laterally)
round- attaches uterus to abdominal wall (holds to ant.)

Front 15

where does the vagina join the uterus?

Back 15

at the cervix

Front 16

what is the recessed area around cervix

Back 16

fornix

Front 17

what is the external genetalia? the

Back 17

vulva:
mons pubis
labia majora
labia minora

what is the adipose tissue over the pubic symphysis?

Back 18

mons pubis

Front 19

what is the outer fold of skin that keeps genitalia humid and bacteria under check?

Back 19

labia majora

Front 20

what is the inner fold of skin that forms vestibule?

Back 20

labia minora

what is the erectile tissue withing the body wall of female repro?

Back 21

clitoris

Front 22

what is the membrane that partially encloses the vaginal orifice?

Back 22

hymen

Front 23

what are the lubrication glands of female repro?

Back 23

greater and lesser vestibular (more inside))
paraurethral (side of urethra)

Front 24

what structures are involved in milk production?

Back 24

Lobules
lobes
lactiferous ducts
lactiferous sinuses
nipple

Front 25

what does the areolar gland of the breast do?

Back 25

secretes a waxy substance to keep nipple from chaving

Front 26

what hormones stimuli maturation of ovarian follicles and trigger ovulation?

Back 26

FSH and LH secreted from ant. pituitary

Front 27

what hormones stimulate/cause the phases of the menstrual cycle?

Back 27

estradiol and progesterone from ovaries

Front 28

what is a morula?

Back 28

ball of cells, undifferentiated (omnipotent)

Front 29

what is a blastocyst?

Back 29

outer layer and inner layer cell mass (pleurapotent)

Front 30

what are the functions of the male reproductive system?

Back 30

produce male gametes (spermatozoa)
to transport gametes to female reproductive tract
to secrete male reproductive hormone, testosterone

Front 31

testes

Back 31

endocrine gland: secretes testosterone
exocrine gland: production of gametes, secretion through ducts
paired in tunica albuginea (ct sheath)
surrounded by scrotal sac which is lined with smooth muscle

Front 32

what is the smooth muscle lining the scrotal sac?

Back 32

dartos muscle: contracts when cold and relaxes when warm adjusting SA

Front 33

what does the spermatic cord contain?

Back 33

cremaster muscle
testicular arteries and veins
nerves
ductus deferens: carries sperm away from testes into penial urethra

Front 34

where are spermatozoa produced?

Back 34

seminiferous tubules: spermatogenesis
spermatagonium> mitosis> 2 daughter cells> meiosis (4)> spermatids
tail develops in lumen of seminiferous tubule

what are the accessory glands of the male reproductive system?

Back 35

bulbourethral gland
prostate gland
