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.
