Presentation Transcript

  1. Female Reproductive Anatomy

  2. Macroscopic Female Functional Anatomy • Recognize the various structures of the female reproductive system • Relatefunction to each structure • Distinguish differences among species Objectives:

  3. Female Reproductive Tract • Four common layers • Mucosa • Submucosa • Muscularis • Serosa

  4. Suspensory Ligaments • Broad Ligament • Supports and suspends tract • Vascular supply • Lymphatic drainage • nerves • Composed of: • Mesometrium (body) • Mesosalpinx (oviduct) • Mesovarium (ovary)

  5. Ovaries • Female gonads • Suspended by mesovarium • Shape dependent upon species (round, almond, bean) • Function: -produce female gametes (ova) -produce estrogen and progesterone

  6. Ovarian Architecture • Cortex –outer zone • Medulla – inner zone • Stroma and Hilus • Tunica Albuginea

  7. Ovary to uterine horn Supported by mesosalpinx Functions: Ovum transport Sperm storage and capacitation Fertilization (AIJ) Early embryo development Oviduct

  8. Segments of the Oviduct

  9. Organ between the oviducts and the cervix Consists of a body and two horns (cornua) Cow, ewe, sow, and mare have bicornuate uteri Humans have simplex uteri (no horns) Functions: Sperm transport Luteolysis Control of cyclicity Embryo environment Maternal placenta Expulsion of fetus Uterus

  10. Types of Uteri Cow

  11. Located between the vagina and uterus Functions: Lubrication Flushing Barrier Species Differences Cow - annular rings Ewe - annular rings Sow - corkscrew Mare - longitudinal folds Cervix

  12. Cervical Anatomy

  13. Vagina & Vulva Vagina: connects the cervix to the external genitalia and serves as the female copulatory organ Vulva: external tissue of the female reproductive tract, receives penis during copulation.
