1. Female reproductive system
 External structures of the female reproductive
system
 Labia majora
 Labia Minora
 Bartholin’s Gland
 Clitoris

2. Female reproductive system

3. Labia majora:
 Enclose and protect the other external
reproductive organs.
 hair growth occurs on the skin .
 contain sweat and oil-secreting glands.

4. Labia minora
 Lie just inside the labia majora.
 Surround the openings to the vagina and urethra
 Skin is very delicate and can become easily
irritated and swollen

5. Bartholin’s glands
 Located next to the vaginal opening on each
side
 Produce a fluid (mucus) secretion

6. Clitoris:
 The two labia minora meet at the clitoris.
 A small, sensitive protrusion
 Covered by a fold of skin, called the prepuce.
 Very sensitive to stimulation and can become
erect.

7. Female reproductive system
The internal reproductive organs include :
 Vagina
 Uterus
 Ovaries
 Fallopian tubes

8. Female reproductive system

9. Vagina:
 Canal that joins the cervix (the lower part of uterus)
to the outside of the body.
 Known as the birth canal.
 Diameter – 2.5cm
 Structures – mucous coat, submucous layer,
Muscular layer
 Blood supply – cervicovaginal branch of the uterine
artery, vaginal artery, middle rectal & Internal
pudendal

10. Uterus (womb):
 The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ.
 8cm long, 5cm wide, 1.25cm thick
 Divided into 3 parts:
Cervix
Isthmus
Corpus

11. Uterus
1. Cervix - 2.5 cm, extends from isthmus to
ext.OS
2. Isthmus – 0.5 cm, between body & Cervix
3. Corpus- Fundus & Cavity

12. Uterus
Blood supply :
1. Uterine arteries
2. Ovarian & vaginal

13. Ovaries:
 The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that
are located on either side of the uterus.
 It ovaries produce eggs and hormones.
 Blood supply - ovarian

14. Fallopian tubes:
 These are narrow tubes that are attached to
the upper part of the uterus.
 Serve as pathways for the ova (egg cells) to
travel from the ovaries to the uterus.
 Fertilization of an egg by a sperm normally
occurs in the fallopian tubes.
 The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus,
where it implants to the uterine lining.
 4 parts
intramural,isthmus,ampula,infundibulum
 Blood supply – uterine & ovarian

15. Fallopian tubes:
