Study Notes
Female Reproductive System
- Uterus: A hollow, pear-shaped organ with three main parts:
- Fundus: The top, rounded part.
- Body: The main, central portion.
- Cervix: The lower, narrow portion connecting to the vagina.
- Ovaries: Almond-shaped organs that produce eggs (ova) and hormones.
- Uterine Tubes: Tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus, with finger-like projections called fimbriae at the end, which capture the egg.
- Uterine Layers:
- Peritoneum: Outermost layer.
- Myometrium: Middle muscle layer.
- Endometrium: Innermost layer lining the uterus.
- Ovarian Ligament: Connects the ovary to the uterus.
- Broad Ligament: A fold of peritoneum that supports the uterus.
- Cervical Canal: The channel within the cervix.
- Cervical Opening: The external opening of the cervix.
- Vaginal Rugae: Folds in the lining of the vagina.
