Term
The ovaries are surrounded by a fibrous               .
Definition
The ovaies are surrounded by a fibrous tunica albuginea.
Term
Deep to the                is the         which contains sac-like structures called              .
Definition
Deep to the tunica albuginea is the cortex which contains sac-like structures called follicles.
Term
           house            in different stages of development.
Definition
Follicles house oocytes in different stages of development.
Term
If a        layer of cells make up folicular wall, the cells are called              .
Definition
If a single layer of cells make up folicular wall, the cells are called follicle cells.
Term

If more than one layer of cells make up the                   , the cells are called                  .

 

Definition
If more than one layer of cells make up the follicular wall, the cells are called follicle cells.
Term

What are the 4 types of follicles?

(name based on structure and maturation level)

Definition

Primordial follicles,

primary follicles,

secondary follicles,

graafian follicles

Term
What are primordial follicles?
Definition

one layer of squamous follicle cells surrounds the oocyte

(MOST IMMATURE)

Term

What are primary follicles?

 

Definition
Two or more layers of cuboidal/columnar granulose cells surrounds the oocyte
Term

What are secondary follicles?

 

Definition
characterized by the formation of an antrum (fluid-filled cavity between granulosa cells
Term
WHat are graafian follicles?
Definition

most MATURE follicle

houses the mature oocyte, much larger than the secondary follicle

Term
What is ovulation?
Definition
once each month, the antrum of the Graafian Follicle bursts, ejecting an oocyte ready to be fertilized
Term
Once each month the      of the                   bursts, ejecting an         ready to be fertilized.
Definition
Once each month the antrum of the graafian follicle bursts, ejecting and oocyte ready to be fertilized.
Term

After ovulation, the follicle is transformed into:

first = blood filled         

second = modified endocrine organ called the

               which releases hormones

third = the                eventually degenerates to form scar tissue called the                  

Definition

first = blood filled corpus

second = modified endocrine organ called the corpus luteum which releases hormones

third = the corpus luteum eventually degenerates to form scar tissue called the corpus albicans

Term
After ovulation, the follicle is transformed:
Definition

first = blood filled corpus

second = modified endocrine organ called thecorpus luteum which releases hormones

third = the corpus luteum eventually degenerates to form scar tissue called the corpus albicans

 

Term
Ovulation (picture)
Definition

Term
What are the fallopian tubes?
Definition

- receive ovulated oocyte

- usual site of fertilization

Term
Finger-like projections that catch the ovulated oocyte
Definition
fimbriae
Term
funnel-shaped structure that gives rise to the fimbria.
Definition
infundibulum
Term
specific site of fertilization
Definition
AMPULA
Term
Attaches the fallopian tube to the uterus
Definition
isthmus
Term
What does the uterus do?
Definition
Functions to receive and house the fertilized oocyte throughout gestation
Term
oocyte that has been pierced by a sperm?
Definition
ovum
Term
fusion of male and female nuclei
Definition
Zygote
Term
1-8 weeks of development
Definition
Embryo
Term
9-38 weeks of development
Definition
fetus
Term
major portion of the uterus
Definition
body
Term
superior to the attachment of the fallopian ntubees
Definition
fundus
Term
neck of the uterus that extends to the vagina
Definition
cervix
Term
cervical canal contains                      , which hinders the entry of        , and keeps the sperm alive for about       .
Definition
Cervical canal contains mucus secreting glands which hinders the entry of bacteria, and keeps the sperm alive for about 3 days
Term
What are the 3 layers of the wall of the uterus?
Definition
perimetrium/visceral peritoneum, myometrium, endometrium,
Term
outermost serous layer of uterus
Definition
permetrium/visceral peritoneum
Term
Middle layer composed of smooth muscle
Definition
myometrium
Term
mucosal lining of the uterine cavity, has two layers which are:                 and                .
Definition
Endometrium, has two layers which are: stratum functionalis and stratum basalis
Term
Stratum functionalis
Definition
superficial; responds to ovarian hormones and is shed at menstruation
Term
stratum basalis
Definition
deep, forms a new functionalis after each menstruation
Term
Vascular supply
Definition

Internal Iliacs (pelvis) -->

Uterine arteries (perimetrium) -->

Arcuate Arteries (myometrium) -->

Radial Branches (endometrium) -->

spiral arteries (stratum functionalis) and straight arteries (basalis

Term
Vagina
Definition
passageway for menstruation flow and childbirth, female organ for copulation
Term
External genetalia
Definition
mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, greater vestibular glands, clitoris
Term
fleshy area overlying the pubic symphyses (fatty tissue)
Definition
mons pubis
Term
outer skin folds, homologous to the male SCROTUm
Definition
labia MAJORA
Term
Labia MINORA
Definition
inner skin folds; homologous to the ventral side of the penis
Term

What is the function and location of the Greater Vestibular Glands?

homologous to the male                   .

Definition

provides lubrication for copulation, located on each side of the vaginal opening

- homologous to the male bulbourethral glands

Term

          - erectile tissue composed of                 .

Homologous to the              .

Definition
Clitoris - erectile tissue composed of corpus cavernosa. Homologous to the glans penis
Term
mammary glands
Definition
males have them but they are only functional in females, produce milk to nourish the neonate,
Term
Each mammary gland has   -                   that are then separated into        .
Definition
Each mammary gland has 15-25 internal lobes that are then separated into lobules
Term
The lobules contain               that produce milk when the female is lactating.
Definition
the lobules contain glandular alveoli that produce milk when the female is lactating.
