  1. Female Reproductive System

  2. vulva Includes the mons pubis, labia majora and minora, and clitoris

  3. mons pubis A mound of adipose tissue overlying the pubic symphysis

  4. labia majora Thick folds of skin inferior to mons pubis

  5. labia minora

  6. vestibule The area enclosed by the labia majora and minora Contains urinary and vaginal orifices

  7. clitoris

  8. clitoris

  9. urethral orifice

  10. vaginal orifice

  11. hymen Tissue covering vaginal orifice

  12. Bulb of the vestibule Picture coming soon Subcutaneous erectile tissues that bracket the vagina like a pair of parentheses

  13. Vestibular (Bartholin’s) gland Glands that keep the vulva moist and provide lubrication during intercourse

  14. vagina

  15. cervix The cylindrical inferior end of the uterus

  16. fornix Portion of the vagina that extends slightly beyond the cervix

  17. uterus

  18. endometrium Inner lining of uterine wall and site of attachment of the embryo

  19. myometrium Layer of smooth muscles constituting most of the uterine wall Produces labor contractions that expel the fetus

  20. perimetrium Outer layer of the uterine wall

  21. uterine tubes (oviducts, fallopian)

  22. fimbriae Means “fringe”

  23. ovaries Female gonads that produce eggs

  24. primordial follicle Consists of a single layer of flattened cells Contains immature primary oocyte

  25. primordial follicles

  26. primary follicle Hormones (FSH) causes flattened cells to become cuboidal and multiply becoming stratified Still contains the primary oocyte

  27. primary follicle

  28. secondary follicle Once the follicle contains a fluid filled cavity it becomes a secondary follicle Still contains the primary oocyte

  29. secondary follicle

  30. Mature (Graafian) follicle One of the stimulated follicles outpaces the rest and becomes a mature follicle It protrudes from surface of ovary like a blister Secondary oocyte stops before completing meiosis II and is ready for ovulation

  31. Mature (Graafian) follicle

  32. antrum Cavity that contains estrogen-rich follicular fluid Indicates a secondary follicle

  33. antrum

  34. zona pellucida Clear layer of gel between the ovum and the follicular cells

  35. zona pellucida between circles – outside oocyte and inside corona radiata

  36. corona radiata Inner most layer of follicular cells that are in contact with the zona pellucida

  37. corona radiata ring of cells

  38. corpus luteum After ovulation, follicle collapses into the antrum and cells accumulate a yellow lipid that secretes hormones lute=yellow

  39. corpus albicans An inactive remnant of the corpus luteum

  40. Supporting ligaments

  41. broad ligament Contains the uterine artery and vein

  42. round ligament Attach anterior surface of uterus to abdominal wall

  43. suspensory ligament Contains the ovarian artery and vein Attaches ovary to pelvic wall

  44. ovarian ligament Attaches ovary to uterus

  45. oogensis

  46. Oogenesis and Follicle Development

  47. mammary gland All of the structures that function in the synthesis, secretion, and ejection of milk

  48. alveolar gland Synthesis of milk

  49. alveolar duct Milk travels from alveolar gland into the alveolar duct

  50. lactiferous duct Milk travels from the alveolar duct through the lactiferous duct to exit the nipple
