    Study Notes

    Female Reproductive System

    • Located in the pelvic region, primarily composed of various reproductive organs.
    • Key structures include ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina.

    Ovaries

    • Pair of almond-shaped glands, measuring 2-4 cm.
    • Function: Produce hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, and house ovarian follicles that develop into eggs.

    Fallopian Tubes (Oviducts)

    • Length ranges 10-12 cm; connects ovaries to the uterus.
    • Divided into sections: infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and fimbriae which aid in the collection of the ovum during ovulation.

    Uterus

    • Hollow, muscular organ with three layers:
      • Endometrium: Innermost layer; highly vascularized, involved in implantation of the fertilized egg.
      • Myometrium: Middle layer composed of smooth muscle; plays a crucial role in childbirth.
      • Perimetrium: Outermost layer, a protective membrane.
    • Main function: Supports fetal development and facilitates delivery during childbirth.

    Cervix

    • The narrow passage at the lower end of the uterus, connecting it to the vagina.
    • Functions include allowing the passage of menstrual fluid and serving as a conduit for sperm entry.

    Vagina

    • A muscular tube approximately 10 cm long; serves as the birth canal.
    • Provides an exit for menstrual flow and a passage for sperm.

    External Female Genitalia (Vulva)

    • Includes labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and hymen.
    • Labia Majora: Outer protective folds of skin that encase the vulva.
    • Labia Minora: Inner, delicate folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening.
    • Clitoris: Highly sensitive organ located at the junction of the labia minora; plays a key role in sexual arousal.

    Mammary Glands

    • Present in female mammals; function primarily in lactation.
    • Composed of lobes that produce milk, influenced by hormonal changes during pregnancy and after childbirth.

    Overview of Functions

    • The female reproductive system is responsible for the production of gametes (eggs), hormone production, fertilization, and nurturing of the fetus.
    • Also plays a significant role in sexual arousal and response.

    Hormonal Regulation

    • Hormones such as estrogen and progesterone are crucial for the regulation of the menstrual cycle and maintenance of the pregnancy.

    Fertilization Process

    • Typically occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, where sperm meets the egg, leading to potential implantation in the uterus.
