Study Notes
Female Reproductive System Anatomy
- Ovaries receive blood supply from ovarian arteries and the ovarian branch of the uterine artery
- Ovarian follicles in the ovary cortex consist of an immature egg called an oocyte
- Various stages of follicles include primordial, primary, secondary, and Graafian follicle
- Uterine tubes receive the ovulated oocyte and provide a site for fertilization
- Uterus is a hollow, thick-walled organ located in the pelvis with distinct regions such as body, fundus, isthmus, and cervix
- Uterine walls are composed of perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium
- Endometrium has two layers - stratum functionalis and stratum basalis, with cyclic changes in response to ovarian hormones
- Uterine vascular supply involves uterine arteries, arcuate arteries, radial branches, and spiral arteries
- Vagina is a thin-walled tube providing a passageway for birth, menstrual flow, and copulation
- External genitalia (vulva) includes mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and greater vestibular glands
- Clitoris is homologous to the penis and consists of erectile tissue
- Mammary glands are modified sweat glands consisting of lobes that produce milk in lactating women
