Flashcards

What are ovaries?

Female sex cells, or eggs, are produced and stored here.

What do fallopian tubes do?

They provide a pathway for the fertilized egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus.

Where is the uterus located?

It's located in the lower abdomen, between the bladder and the rectum.

What is the endometrium?

It's the inner lining of the uterus, providing nourishment for a developing fetus.

Study Notes

Female Reproductive System

  • Female sex cells, called eggs, are housed in the ovaries.
  • The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus, allowing eggs to travel through them, facilitating fertilization.
  • The uterus is located in the pelvis, in the lower abdomen.
  • The uterine lining (endometrium) prepares for a potential embryo to implant and develops into the placenta, supporting fetal growth.
  • Abnormalities in the uterine lining or fallopian tubes may cause infertility by interfering with egg fertilization or embryo implantation and development.
  • The uterus supports fetal growth during pregnancy, and its main function is to provide a safe environment for the developing fetus.
  • The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in facilitating fertilization and allowing the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus.
  • Problems with the fallopian tubes or uterine lining can cause fertility problems due to interference with egg fertilization or embryo implantation and development.
  • The ovaries produce hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, in addition to the female sex cells (eggs).
