  1. Female Reproductive System Anatomy

  2. Ground Rules Respect what other people say; no put-downs Be sensitive to other people’s feelings Not answering a question is all right Respect other people’s differences, family values, and traditions Keep discussions and questions away from a personal level – No individual stories; no names Keep confidential all comments made by students Remember that questions are not ‘dumb’ Use scientific terms – no slang Remember all rules of classroom behavior Raise hand to ask question or respond Submit questions of true concern to the teacher at the end of class (question box) NO SIDE CONVERSATIONS

  3. Female Reproductive System I. Ovum/Ova – egg cells A. Present at birth (millions) B. Inactive until puberty C. When ovaries become fully developed and begin producing female hormones (estrogen and progesterone) egg cells begin to mature

  4. Female Reproductive System II. Ovary/Ovaries – female reproductive glands A. Twoglands/organs B. Store immature ova (egg cells) C. Responsible for ovulation- release of an ovum D. Produce female hormones - estrogen and progesterone

  5. Female Reproductive System III. Fallopian tubes – tube through which a mature eggpasses A. Twotubes B. Connect ovaries to the uterus C. Area in which fertilization occurs if sperm is present

  6. Female Reproductive System IV. Uterus – also known as the womb A. Pear-shaped organ between the two ovaries B. Approximately the size of a closed fist C. Area where thick, blood rich lining builds each month in preparation for pregnancy - endometrium D. Organ responsible for monthly menstrual flow - menstruation E. Place where embryo/fetusdevelops for nine months in amniotic sac

  7. Female Reproductive System V. Cervix – the opening at the bottom of the uterus A. Connects uterus and vagina B. Serves as passage for fetus – allows fetus to move from uterus into birth canal C. Typically closed; will dilate (open) during labor for birth

  8. Female Reproductive System VI. Vagina – also known as the birthcanal A. Leads from the cervix to the outside of the body B. About 4 inches long C. Passage for menstrualflow to leave the body D. Passageway for the birth of the baby

  9. Female Reproductive System VII. Hymen A. Protective internalmembrane B. Coversthe opening just inside the vagina VIII. Labia A. Externalfolds of skin B. Coversthe opening to the vagina and urethra

  10. Female Reproductive System IX. Clitoris – external node of skin A. Located in front of the opening to the urethra B. Small, pea size C. Contains many nerveendings X. Urethra - Passage for urine A. Tubefrom bladder to outside of body B. Opening in front of opening to vagina C. This organ plays no role in reproduction but is important for labeling purposes

  11. Female Reproductive System XI. Problems of the Female System A. Vaginitis, Yeast Infection B. Premenstrual Syndrome – PMS C. Toxic Shock Syndrome – TSS D. Cancers 1. Breast 2. Ovaries 3. Uterus 4. Cervix E. Infertility F. IrregularMenstrual Cycle

  12. Female Reproductive System XII. Role of the Female in Reproduction A. Provide ovum B. Provide womb – nurture fetus C. Give birth D. Provide nourishment to infant – breast milk/mammary glands
