Female Reproductive System Anatomy
Ovaries
The ovaries are a pair of small glands about the size and shape of almonds, located on the left and right sides of the pelvic body cavity lateral to the superior portion of the uterus. Ovaries produce female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone as well as ova (commonly called "eggs"), the female gametes. Ova are produced from oocyte cells that slowly develop throughout a woman’s early life and reach maturity after puberty. Each month during ovulation, a mature ovum is released. The ovum travels from the ovary to the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized before reaching the uterus.
Fallopian Tubes
The fallopian tubes are a pair of muscular tubes that extend from the left and right superior corners of the uterus to the edge of the ovaries. The fallopian tubes end in a funnel-shaped structure called the infundibulum, which is

    In women the external organs in the reproductive system are the clitoris, labia minora and Bartholin's glands. The internal organs are the vagina and the uterus. The uterus acts as the replacement for semen. Also, the ovaries produce the female’s ova (eggs). The vagina is attached to the uterus through the cervix, while the fallopian tubes connect the uterus to the ovaries. In response…

    The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes, though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus, though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect against infection and injury. These structures include; the labia majora, which contains glands that produce sweat, the labia minora which surrounds the opening of the vagina and urethra, bartholin's glands which are just behind the vaginal…

    What effect would surgical removal of the seminal vesicles have on the human male reproductive system? a. It would cause sterility because sperm would not be produced. b. It would cause sterility because sperm would not be able to exit the body. c. The failure rate for the withdrawal method of birth control would go down. d. There would be a minimal loss in semen volume. e. Semen would not contain energy-providing nutrients for the sperm. 9. In humans, the egg is released from the ovary and enters the oviduct. How is this accomplished? a. The force of the follicular ejection propels the egg into the oviduct. b. The egg is drawn into the oviduct by the action of beating cilia located in the opening of the oviduct. c. The egg moves through a small tube that connects the ovary and the oviduct. d. The egg propels itself into the oviduct by the beating action of its flagellum. e. Peristalsis of ovarian muscles moves the egg into the oviduct. 10. What is the narrow opening of the human uterus called? a. vagina b. cervix c. oviduct d. fallopian tube e. vas deferens 11. Which cells are diploid? a. spermatids b. spermatogonia c. mature sperm cells d. A and B only e. A, B, and C 12. Which of these best describes the menstrual cycle? a. It refers specifically to changes that occur in the endometrium of the uterus. b. The cycle length is 28 days and varies little from one woman to another. c. It continues from puberty until death. d. It begins with the follicular phase. e. It is primarily regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). 13.

    This is the name for the sex gland that is similar in function to the male testicle. They are two in number and are located on either side of the uterus (womb). Each ovary is coverd by a tough protective capsule and contains many follicles. A follicle-sound is an egg cell sourounded by one or more layers of follicle cells. It is estimated that about 400,000 eggs (ovum) are stored in eachovary at birth. However, only one egg becomes ripe each month, once puberty begins, and departs from the ovary and travels into the fallopian tubes (oviduct). They also manufacture the female hormones estrogen and progesterone which is instrumental in the onset of the menstrual cycle.…

    Each month, with the menstrual cycle every woman goes through hormonal changes. The pituitary gland (located in the brain) releases hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The FSH stimulates a follicle in the ovaries, which then grows and secretes estrogen. The estrogen levels continue increasing and lead to the thickening of the uterine lining (mucosa). The mucosa thickens and fills with blood vessels in preparation for implantation of an embryo. After the mucosa develops, a surge of LH causes ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube.…

    The closeapproximation between the ovary and fimbria is likely to be important for ovum pickup,although, transperitoneal migration has been reported.The paired ovaries are pretty much the size and shape of almonds. An internal view of anovary reveals many tiny saclike structures called ovarian follicles. Each follicle consists of animmature egg called an oocyte, surrounded by one or more layers of very different cells calledfollicle cells.The ovaries are for oogenesis-the production of eggs (female sex cells) and for hormone production (estrogen and progesterone). As the developing egg begins to ripen or mature, follicleenlarges and develops a fluid filled central region. When the egg is matured, it is called agraafian follicle, and is ready to be ejected from the ovary.The process of ovulation is controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain and through therelease of hormones secreted in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, (Luteinizing hormone(LH) and Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)). In the follicular (pre-ovulatory) phase of themenstrual cycle, the ovarian follicle will undergo a series of transformations called cumulusexpansion, this is stimulated by the secretion of FSH. After this is done, a hole called the…

    The ovaries are the main reproductive organs in a female. The ovaries produce gametes and have many purposes. Each ovary is 3.5 cm in length, close to 2 cm wide, and about 1 cm thick. One of the main function of the ovaries is producing hormones; estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is for estrogenic effects. There are paired ovaries that flank the uterus. They are shaped like an egg, but a little smaller. The ovaries are in place by the ovarian ligament, the suspensory ligament and by the…

    The reproductive system is questionably the body system that is the most important influence on life as we know it. It is the w ay in which we procreate and ensure our existence as a species. However, the penis is only one part of the male reproductive system, which constitutes of a series responsible for generating, storing, and transporting the genetic material contained in the sperm cells. The main organs include: testicles (or testes), the epididymides, the vas deferens, the ejaculatory duct, the urethra, and the penis. Others are the scrotum, urogenital opening, and the prostate gland.…

    Reproductive System

    The female reproductive tract is composed of paired right and left ovaries, oviducts, and uterine horns. It contains only a single cervix, vagina and vulva (external genitalia). Collectively, these structures are supported by the broad ligament and hang loosely suspended below the rectum in the both pelvic canal and lower abdomen. The broad ligament is made of tough connective tissue, attaching near the point of the spine, and running continuously with the inner most layer of the abdominal cavity. Many of the blood vessels and nerves travel through this large piece tissue in order to supply the reproductive tract with blood, hormones and neural stimuli. In prepubertal gilts, the ligament is short, paper thin, and almost transparent. However, in late pregnancy it becomes very long as it stretches and thickens in order to support the increasing weight of the pregnant reproductive tract.…

    Sandy responded, “That’s amazing, the cervix lies amongst the vagina and the lower end of the uterus. The cervix produces secretion that adds to the vagina's chemical balance. It has a small opening about the size of a straw that swells allowing sperm to pass through from the vagina to the uterus as well as allowing a baby to move from the uterus to the vagina during child birth" (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner-Rathus, 2005).…
