Study Notes

Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system is responsible for the production of eggs (oocytes), sex hormones, and the development of a growing fetus.
The system comprises internal and external structures with ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina as the key components.
The ovaries are almond-shaped organs responsible for producing eggs and sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus and serve as the site of fertilization.
The uterus is a pear-shaped organ that houses and nourishes a fertilized egg during pregnancy.
It has three layers: perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium, with the endometrium being responsible for menstrual cycle changes.
The cervix is the lower end of the uterus, acting as a barrier and dilating during childbirth.
The vagina is the birth canal, facilitating sexual intercourse, childbirth, and menstruation.
It's lined with mucosal tissue and contains nerve endings for sexual pleasure.
The vulva is the external part of the vagina, comprising the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris.
