Mons Pubis |
most anterior part, cushion-like F |
|
Labia Major |
2 folds, extends downward from mons pubis |
|
Labia Minor |
2 folds, between labia major and surrounds the vesitbule. |
|
Clitoris |
homologous to penis |
|
Clitoris |
highly sensitive to touch and important in sexual stimulation |
|
Vestibule |
are between labia minor extending from clitoris to the fourchet. |
|
Urethral Opening |
small openign about 1 in. posterior to clitoris |
|
Bartholin's Gland |
2 glands on either side of vaginal orifice |
|
Bartholin's Gland |
secretes mucus that acts as lubricant during intercourse |
|
Hymen |
thin fold of vascular mucus memb, seperates vagina from the vestibule |
|
Fourchet |
fold of membrane of labia minor, posterior to vestibule and anterior to anus |
|
Vagina |
4-6 in long, part of birth canal, organ for copulation |
|
Vagina |
extends upward and backward from vestibule to uterus |
|
Uterus |
where embryo and fetus develop, pear shaped organ |
|
Uterus |
3 in L x 2 in W, and lower 1/3 called cervix (neck) |
|
Fudus |
Thick muscular top of uterus |
|
Serosa |

|
Endometrium |
inner linging of uterine cavity |
|

primary female reproductive organ. |
|
Ovaries |

|
Functions of Ovary |
development and expulsion of egg, and manufactures and secretes sex hormones |
|
Ovaries |
outer layer is germinal layer from which ova are produced |
|
Ovulation |
development of ova controlled by homerone and release |
|
Graafial Follicles |
ova produced in follicles |
|
Fallopian Tube |
this structure draws ova into its canals by aid fingerlike tentacles |
|
Ectopic Pregnancy |
ova doesn't make it in, and can be fertilized and grow in abdominal cavity |
|
Fallopian Tube |
4.5 long and composed of same layers as uterus. |
|
Fallopian Tube |
fertilizatino must take place here for survival. |
|
Estrogen |
hormone responsible for growth of sexual organs and secondary sex characteristics |
|

IUD (Intrauterine Device) |
soft,flexible plastic from inserted into uterus; 85% effective |
|
Vaginal spermicide |
foam, creams and gels; acidic chemicals kill sperm |
|
Diaphragm and Spermicide |
Rubber cup which must be fitted for women. 80% effective |
|
Condom |
used to prevent std's, pregnancy and aids |
|
Scrotum |
sac which contains testes and is continous with the adominal cavity. |
|
Penis |
organ for intercourse in men |
|
Penis |
contains 3 columns of erectile tissue, one which contains the urethra |
|
Penis |
this organ contains large capillaries |
|
Urethra |
transmits urine, end of penis is larger because of increased rectile tissue |
|
Testes |
organ in male |
|
rete Testis |
larger ducts which seminferous tubules empty into |
|
Vas Efferentia |
20 small coiled ducts that leave rete testis and open into epididymiss |
|
Epididymis |
coiled tube superior and posterior to testicles |
|
Epididymis |
store area for sperm (mature here), inactive state, if the ejaculated, they are absorbed by the body here |
|
Vas Deferens |
ducts leading from testes thru abdomen, over pubic bone and around and behind bladder to ejaculatory duct |
|
Seminal Vessicles |
2 ducted gland near bas of the bladder in males |
|
Seminal Vessicles |
secretes fluid causing sperm to become motile |
|
Seminal Vessicles |
this joines with the vas deferens to form ejaculatory ducts |
|
Ejaculatory Duct |
enteres prostate gland then into urethra |
|
Ejaculatory Duct |
injects seminal vessicle fluid and sperm into urethra |
|
Prostate Gland |
secretes alkaline fluid into urethra which adds to the motility of sperm |
|
Cowper's Gland |
secretes mcus fluid that helps lubricat for intercourse, allow sement to neutralize acidic envir. |
|
Ejaculation |
occurs through series of wavelike muscular spasms (male) |
|
Ejaculation |
250 million sperm are released |
