Femal Reproductive System And Labour

Vulva - puddndum

Vagina Uterus Uterine fallopian tube

Moms pubis Labia majora and labia minors Clitoris Vestibule Hymen

Acts as a sensory tissue during sexual Intercourse Directing the flow of urine Protection of internal female reproductive tact from infection

this is where they determine the gender of the baby

This is a fibromuscular tube with anterior and posterior walls. The inner layer is made up of squamous epithelial tissues an have a layer of connective tissues and smooth muscles

24 hours is when a woman is fully fertilising

an anterior posterior - acts like natural reservoir for semen after ejaculation

sex organs - receives and allows passage of sperm daily discharge -to cleanse and lubricate itself Allows passage of menstrual blood Allows passage of baby Provides sensation

Is a muscular tube and is the entrance to the uterus is the cervix

Facilitates thepassage of sperminto the uterine cavity - via dilation of the exernal and internal os Maintains sterilityof the upper female reproductive tract - frequent shedding of the the endometrium

Fundus on the top Body Cervix

The outer layer

the middle layer

the inner layer

should implant in the endometrium

Assists in the transfer and transport of the ovum from the ovary to the uterus the inner mucosa has ciliated cells which waft the ovum towards the uterus.The Smooth muscle layer contracts to assist transportation of ovum and sperm. Muscle is sensitive to sex steroids (Oestrogen and progesterone) which is why peristalsis is greatest when oestrogen levels are high – most fertile.

Isthmus - neck of the fallopian tube Ampulla - angle tube Infundibulum - Fimbriae

Surface:Formed of simple cuboidal epithelium. Cortex:Largely comprised ofconnective tissue supporting follicles. Each follicle contains an oocyte surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells. Medulla:Contains a rich neurovascular network which enters the ovary at the hilum.

Produceoocytesin preparation for fertilization. Produce the sex steroid hormonesoestrogenandprogesterone, in response to pituitary gonadotrophins (LH and FSH). Each ovary taking an alternate turn in releasing an egg.

Ovarian cycle menstrual; cycle

the preparation of endocrine tissues and the release of eggs,

the preparation and maintenance of the uterine lining. These cycles occur concurrently and are coordinated over a 22–32-day cycle, with an average length of 28 days.
