Female Reproductive SystemOvaries Ovaries are organs that produce hormones, releases eggs every 21- 23 days to be fertilized, involved in estrus cycle
Female Reproductive System
Fallopian tubes Also known as oviducts, the muscular tubing that forms a pathway for the egg to travel down to a uterine horn. This is also the location of fertilization.Female Reproductive System
Uterus Location of growing fetus, open cavity in the body that produces secretions to support a fetusFemale Reproductive System
Cervix Forms a physical barrier between the uterus and vagina. Has long folds.Functions of the Female Reproductive TractThe Ovaries• Oogenesis, the production of ova or eggs. • Hormone secretion: Estrogen.Progesterone.Inhibin.Oxytocin.Relaxin.
Functions of the Female Reproductive TractThe Oviduct • The fallopian tubes or oviducts serve to transport ova or unfertilized eggs from the ovary to the uterus.It is a passage for sperm from the uterus to the site of fertilization. • The egg is fertilized by the sperm and conception takes place in the oviduct.
Functions of the Female Reproductive Tract The Uterus location of early embryo development location of embryo implantation location of placenta formation Fetal nutrition fetal growth
Functions of the Female Reproductive TractThe Uterus Muscle contractions sperm transport fetal expulsion during parturition uterine involution produces prostaglandin F2α.
Functions of the Female Reproductive Tract The Cervix Isolates the uterus from the external environment by the annular rings, cervical mucus (flows into vagina) and cilia (beat toward vagina). Passage for sperm. Isolation of the fetus within uterus from external environment by Cervical plug (cervical seal).
Functions of the Female Reproductive Tract The Vagina Copulatory organ. Passageway for fetus at parturition.
Structure of the ovaries
Structure of the ovaries Ovarian structure is not static, and the appearance of the surface of the ovary continually changes in cycles of follicle growth and regression or ovulation and corpus luteum growth and regression.Structure of the ovaries The active ovary must have one of the following structures: Growing follicles Mature follicles Corpus hemorragicum Corpus luteum Corpus albicanis
