Study Notes

Internal Structure

The uterus is divided into body, fundus, and endometrial cavity, cervix.
There are two fallopian tubes, one on each side of the uterus.
The fallopian tubes connect each ovary with the uterine body.
The fallopian tube is ciliated to transport the ovum.
The middle section of the fallopian tube is the isthmus.
The funnel shaped infundibulum has finger like projections.
The fallopian tube ends at the ovary in funnel shape.

Vagina

The vagina is a muscular, membranous tube that connects the external genitalia with the cervix (birth canal).
It provides a passageway for sperm when attempting conception, menstrual flow during menstruation, and the fetus during childbirth.

Uterus

The uterus is a hollow muscular organ.
Its major function is protecting and nourishing the fetus until birth.
The fertilized ovum becomes embedded and develops into a fetus.

Ovaries

The ovaries are almond-sized, paired organs that lie in the pelvic cavity.
They are on either side of the uterus, just below the opening of the fallopian tubes.
They are endocrine glands that secrete estrogen and progesterone.
The ovaries produce the eggs.
The ovaries produce eggs up until menopause, except during pregnancy, a mature follicle and ovum release occur each menstrual cycle.
