Study Notes

Reproductive System Questions and Answers

  • Female Reproductive Organs: The female reproductive system includes the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the vagina.
  • Uterus Function: The uterus is the site of implantation and development of a fertilized egg.
  • Fallopian Tubes Function: The fallopian tubes transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
  • Ovarian Function: Ovaries produce eggs (ova) and female hormones, like estrogen and progesterone.
  • Vagina Function: The vagina is the birth canal and allows for the passage of menstrual blood.
  • External Genitalia (Female): The external female genitalia are called the vulva and include the labia majora and labia minora.
  • Mammary Glands Function: These glands produce milk for nursing infants.
  • Pelvis (differences): The false pelvis is wider, while the true pelvis is narrower.
  • Testes Function(Male): Testes produce sperm and male hormones, such as testosterone.

###Additional Questions & Answers

  • Uterus Components: The uterus is made up of the body, cervix, and fundus.
  • Fallopian Tube Function: The fallopian tubes transport the egg and facilitate fertilization.
  • Female Reproductive Organs (internal): Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina are the internal female reproductive organs.
  • Breast Function(Female): Mammary glands produce milk.
  • Difference between True and False Pelvis: The false pelvis is wider; the true pelvis is narrower.
  • Other Male Reproductive Structures: Penis and seminal vesicles are also components of the male reproductive system.
  • Hormones: Testosterone is the primary hormone produced by the testes.
  • Mammary Gland Components: The breasts are composed of 15-20 lobes of glandular tissue,along with connective tissue and fat.
