ARE THOSE WHICH CONCERNED WITH
OVULATION FERTILIZATION , GROWTH
AND DEVELOPMENT OF FETUS AND ITS
SUBSEQUENT EXIT TO THE OUTER
WORLD

3. FUNCTION OF FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM-
• FORMATION OF OVUM
• RECEPTION OF SPERMATOZOA
• PROVISION OF SUITABLE ENVIRONMENTS FOR
FERTILIZATION AND FETAL DEVELOPMENT
• PARTURITION (CHILD BIRTH)
• LACTATION , THE PRODUCTION OF BREAST MILK
, WHICH PROVIDES COMPLETE NOURISHMENT
FOR THE BABY IN ITS EARLY LIFE

4. EXTERNAL GENITAL AREA (VULVA)-
• THE EXTERNAL GENITALIAARE KNOWN AS THE
VULVA , AND CONSISTS OF THE-
• MONS PUBIS
• LABIA MAJORA
• LABIA MINORA
• THE CLITORIS
• THE VAGINA ORIFICE
• HYMEN
• VESTIBULES GLAND (BARTHOLIN GLAND)
• PERINEUM

5. MONS PUBIS-
• THE TRIANGULAR MOUND ODF FATTY TISSUE
THAT COVERS THE PUBIC BONE
• IT PROTECT THE PUBIC SYMPHYSIS
• DURING ADOLESENCE SEX HORMONES
TRIGGER THE GROWTH OF PUBIC HAIR ON
THE MONS PUBIS

6. LABIA MAJORA-
• THESE ARE THE TWO LARGE FOLDS FORMING
THE BOUNDARY OF THE VULVA .
• THEY ARE COMPOSED OF SKIN , FIBROUS
TISSUE AND FAT CANTAIN LARGE NUMBERS
OF SEBACEOUS AND ECCRINE SWEAT GLAND
• THEY HAVE A DARKEN PIGMENTAION

7. LABIA MINORA-
• THESE ARE TWO SMALLER FOLDS OF SKIN
BETWEEN THE LABIA MAJORA , CONTAINING
NUMEROUS SEBACEOUS AND ECCRINE
SWEAT GLANDS
• REFERRED TO AS THE “INNER LIPS”
• THE LABIA MINORA TIGHTENS DURING
INTERCOURSE

8. CLITORIS-
• THE CLITORIS CORRESPONDS TO THE PENIS
IN THE MALE AND CONTAINS SENSORY
NERVE ENDINGS AND ERECTILE TISSUE.
• THE CLITORIS IS A SMALL PEA SHAPED
STRUCTURE .
• IT PLAYA AN IMPORTANT PART IN SEXUAL
EXCITEMENT IN FEMALES
• URETHRAL OPENING IS LOCATED DIRECTLY
BELOW CLITORIS

9. VESTIBULE GLANDS-
• THE VESTIBULES GLANDS ( BARTHOLIN
GLAND) ARE SITUATED ONE ON EACH SIDE
NEAR THE VAGINAL OPENING . THEY ARE
ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SMALL PEA AND THEIR
DUCTS OPEN INTO THE VESTIBULES
IMMEDIATELY LATERAL TO THE
ATTACHMENTS OF THE HYMEN . THEY
SECRETE MUCUS THAT KEEPS THE VULVA
MOIST.

10. PERINEUM -
• THE PERINEUM IS A ROUGHLY TRIANGULAR
AREA EXTENDING FROM THE BASE OF THE
LABIA MINORA TO THE ANAL CANAL IT
CONSISTS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE , MUSCLE
AND FAT .
• IT GIVES ATTEACHMENT TO THE MUSCLES OF
THE PELVIC FLOOR

11. INTERNAL ORGANS-
• VAGINA-
- THE VAGINA IS A FIBROMUSCULAR TUBE
LINED WITH STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS
EPITHELIUM .
-IT RUNS OBLIQUELY UPWARDS AND
BACKWARDS AT AN ANGLE OF ABOUT 45
DEGREE BETWEEN THE BLADDER IN FRONT
AND RECTUM AND ANUS BEHIND.

12. UTERUS-
• THE UTERUS IS A HOLLOW MUSCULAR PEAR
SHAPED ORGAN THAT IS LOCATED
ANTEROPOSTERIORLY IN THE PELVIC CAVITY.
• IT LIES IN THE PELVIC CAVITY BETWWEN THE
URINARY BLADDER AND THE RECTUM IT
• WEIGHT BETWEEN 50-60 GM
• PART OF UTERUS-
- FUNDUS - BODY -CERVIX

13. CONT…
• LAYERS OF UTERUS-
-PERIMETRIUM
-MYOMETRIUM
-ENDOMETRIUM

14. UTERINE TUBES-
• THE UTERINE( FALLOPIAN) TUBES ARE ABOUT
10 CM LONG AND EXTENDS FROM THE SIDES
OF THE UTERUS BETWWEN TE BODY AND
THE FUNDUS
• THE END OF EACH TUBE HAS FINGERLIKE ,
PROJECTIONS CALLED FIMBRIAE

15. FUNCTION OF UTERINE TUBE-
• THE UTERINE TUBES PROPEL THE OVUM
FROM THE OVARY TO THE UTERUS BY
PERISTALSIS AND CILLIARY MOVEMENTS.
• THE SECRETION OF THE UTERINE TUBE
NOURISH BOTH OVUM AND SPERMATOZOA
• FERTILIZATION OF THE OVUM USUALLY TAKES
PLACE IN THE UTERINE TUBE , AND THE
ZYGOTE IS PROPELLED INTO THE UTERUS FOR
IMPLANTATION

16. OVARIES-
-THE FEMALE GONADS OR SEX GLANDS
- THEY DEVELOP AND EXPEL AN OVUM EACH
MONTH

17. CERVIX-
• THE CERVIX CONNECTS THE UTERUS TO THE
VAGINA
• THE CERVICAL OPENING TO THE VAGINA IS
SMALL
• THE ACT AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION AGAINST
FOREIGN BODIES ENTERING THE UTERUS.

18. ACCESORY ORGAN-
• BREAST-
• ORGANS OF SEXUAL AROUSAL
• CONTAIN MAMMARY GLANDS
• CONSIST OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT
SERVES AS SUPPORT
