Female Reproductive Abner Diaz and Ivan Gutierrez
Functions of the Organs • The function of the external female reproductive structures (the genital) is twofold: To enable sperm to enter the body and to protect the internal genital organs from infectious organisms.
Vocabulary • Anatomy • Bartholdi's glands • Birth control • Cervix • Fallopian tube
Diseases of the System • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) • Endometriosis
Facts • Men and women are each born with two gonads (two internal sex organs)—the testes (plural) in men, and the ovaries in women. • The human female is born with all the ova (eggs) she will ever have—about 2 million. These are immature. By puberty, she will have only about 400,000 ova, the rest having dwindled away. During her reproductive life, a woman will only ovulate (release from the ovary) about 400 eggs. Which eggs are selected to mature or ripen to ovulation is still a biological mystery.
