What is ovulation? How often does it occur? 3. What is the ovarian cycle? 4. What does the ovarian follicle become after ovulation? 5. What is the purpose of the corpus luteum? 6. What are the three sections and three coats of the oviducts? 7. What is the function of the fimbriae? 8. An egg is most often fertilized in what region? 9. Describe the shape and location of the uterus. 10. What are the three layers of the uterus? 11. What is the function of the myometrium? 12. What are the three regions of the uterus? 13. What is the fundus? 14. What is the function of the cervix just prior to ovulation? 15. What are the three layers of the vaginal wall? Your Answer: 1. ovaries, ovaduct, uterus, vagina and vulva 2. ovulation is the release of mature eggs, and it happens every 28 days 3. egg is released from ovarian follicle 4. Corpus luteum 5. helps maintain pregnancy iof egg is fertilized. 6. infundibulum, ampulla, and isthmus and coats: serous coat, middle muscular coat, inner mucosa coat 7. finger-like projections form the oviduct. 8. ampulla 9. uterus is forward between the bladder and rectum, and is shaped like an inverted pear 10. outer serous perimetrium, middle muscular myometrium, inner glandular endometrium 11. expands during pregnancy and helps with contraction when delivering. 12. fundus, body, cervix 13. upper portion of the uterus, measured to determine growth rates and potential birth issues. 14. cervix will swell and secrete mucus to allow better access for sperm. 15. inner layer, intermediate muscle layer, outer tissue layer. The Female Reproductive System 1. Internal organs: the ovaries, the oviducts (fallopian or uterine tubes), the uterus, and the vagina. 2. The release of a mature egg; occurs approximately every 28 days. 3. An egg is released from the ovarian follicle. 4. The corpus luteum 5. It helps maintain pregnancy if an egg is fertilized; if not, it disintegrates. 6. Infundibulum, ampulla and isthmus and three coats: the outer serous coat, the middle muscular coat, and an inner mucosa coat. 7. The fimbriae capture an egg from the ovary at the time of ovulation. When an egg (oocyte) bursts from follicle within an ovary during ovulation, it is swept into an oviduct 8. Ampulla 9. The uterus is a hollow, thick-walled muscular organ shaped like an inverted pear connecting the uterine tubes and the vagina and, in a forward-tilted position between the bladder and the rectum. 10. The outer serous perimetrium, the middle muscular myometrium and the inner glandular endometrium. 11. It expands during pregnancy to hold the growing fetus and contracts during labor to push the baby out of the uterus. 12. Fundus, body, and cervix 13. The height of the fundus can be measured from the top of the pubic bone during pregnancy to provide growth rates and a crude indication of an abnormality (breech presentation or twins). 14. Just prior to ovulation, the cervix swells, softens and secretes mucus allowing sperm better access to and viability within the uterus.
