  5. The Female Reproductive System • The Function • Comprises external and internal organs, glands, and structures and is responsible for supporting conception and pregnancy. • As a female matures, the system develops and changes due to hormones (estrogen & progesterone)

  6. The Female Reproductive System • Internal Organs of the Female Reproductive System • Ovaries • pair of almond-shaped organs located in the pelvic cavity. Egg cells are formed and stored in the ovaries • ovum (pl. ova) – female egg cell • graafian follicles – 100,000 microscopic sacs that make up a large portion of the ovaries. Each follicle contains an immature ovum • Normally one graafian follicle develops to maturity monthly between puberty and menopause

  7. The Female Reproductive System • Uterine, or fallopian, tubes • pair of 5-inch (12-13cm) tubes, attached to the uterus, that provide a passageway for the ovum, which passes into the uterine tube • fimbria (pl. fimbriae) – finger-like projection at the free end of the uterine tube • Uterus • pear-sized and pear-shaped muscular organ that lies in the pelvic cavity, except during pregnancy when it enlarges and extends up into the abdominal cavity. Its functions are menstruation, pregnancy, and labor

  8. The Female Reproductive System • endometrium – inner lining of the uterus • myometrium – muscular middle layer of the uterus • perimetrium – outer thin layer that covers the surface of the uterus • corpus, or body – large central portion of the uterus • fundus – rounded upper portion of the uterus • cervix (Cx) – narrow lower portion of the uterus • Vagina • a 3-inch (7-8cm) tube that connects the uterus to the outside of the body • hymen – fold of membrane found near the opening of the vagina

  9. The Female Reproductive System • rectouterine pouch • pouch between the posterior wall of the uterus and the anterior wall of the rectum (Douglas cul-de-sac) • Glands of the Female Reproductive System • Bartholin glands • pair of mucus-producing glands located on each side of the vagina and just above the vaginal opening

  10. The Female Reproductive System • Mammary glands, or breasts • pair of milk-producing glands of the female. Each breast consists of 15-20 divisions, or lobes • mammary papilla – breast nipple • areola – pigmented area around the breast nipple

  11. The Female Reproductive System • External Female Reproductive Structures • Vulva, or external genitalia • two pairs of lips (labia majora and labia minora) that surround the vagina • clitoris – highly erogenous erectile body located anterior to the urethra • Perineum • pelvic floor in both the male and female • in females it usually refers to the area between the vaginal opening and the anus

  13. Word Parts for Female Reproductive System Combining Form Definition • mamm/o, mast/o • men/o • oophor/o • perine/o • salping/o • breast • menstruation • ovary • perineum • uterine tube (fallopian tube)

  14. Word Parts for Female Reproductive System Prefix Definition • peri- • surrounding (outer) Definition Suffix • absence of a normal body opening occlusion; closure • uterine tube (fallopian) • -atresia • -salpinx

  15. Med Terms (from word parts)[Disease and Disorders] Term Definition • amenorrhea • cervicitis • colpitis, vaginitis • dysmenorrhea • endocervicitis • endometritis • hematosalpinx • hydrosalpinx • hysteratresia

  16. Med Terms (from word parts)[Disease and Disorders] Term Definition • mastitis • menometrorrhagia • menorrhagia • metrorrhagia • myometritis • oligomenorrhea • oophoritis • perimetritis • pyosalpinx

  17. Med Terms (from word parts)[Disease and Disorders] Term Definition • salpingitis • salpingocele • vulvovaginitis

  18. Med Terms (not from word parts)[Disease and Disorders] Term Definition • endometriosis • fibroid tumor • abnormal condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus in various areas in the pelvic cavity, including ovaries, uterine tubes, intestines, and uterus • benign fibroid tumor of the uterine muscle (myoma of the uterus or leiomyoma)

  19. Med Terms (not from word parts)[Disease and Disorders] Term Definition • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) • inflammation of the female pelvic organs that can be caused by many different pathogens • If untreated, the infection may spread upward from the vagina, involving the uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. An ascending infection may result in infertility and, in acute cases, fatal septicemia

  20. Med Terms (not from word parts)[Disease and Disorders] Term Definition • prolapsed uterus • vesicovaginal fistula • downward displacement of the uterus into the vagina (hysteroptosis) • abnormal opening between the bladder and the vagina

  24. Med Terms (not from word parts)[Surgical Terms] Term Definition • dilation and curettage (D&C) • endometrial ablation • dilation (widening) of the cervix and scraping of the endometrium with an instrument called a curette. • It is performed to diagnose disease, to correct bleeding, and to empty uterine contents, such as tissue remaining after a miscarriage • a procedure to destroy or remove the endometrium by use of laser or thermal energy • used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding

  25. Med Terms (not from word parts)[Surgical Terms] Term Definition • laparoscopy or laparoscopic surgery • myomectomy • visual examination of the abdominal cavity, accomplished by inserting a laparoscope through a thin incision near the umbilicus • It is used for surgical procedures such as tubal sterilization (closure of the uterine tubes), hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or biopsy of the ovaries. It may also be used to diagnose endometriosis • excision of a fibroid tumor (myoma) from the uterus

  26. Med Terms (not from word parts)[Surgical Terms] Term Definition • tubal ligation • closure of the uterine tubes for sterilization by tying (ligation) • the broader term ‘tubal sterilization’ includes cauterizing the cut ends (tying of tubes)
