LESSON OBJECTIVES
20.
21. Female Reproductive System
• The reproductive
tract in women is
contained mainly
in the pelvic cavity
and perineum.
25. MONS PUBIS
• The triangular mound of
fatty tissue that covers
the pubic bone
• It protects the pubic
symphysis.
• During adolescence sex
hormones trigger the
growth of pubic hair on
the mons pubis.
• Hair varies in coarseness
curliness, amount, color
and thickness.

26. LABIA MAJORA
• The outer lip-like
structure
• They have a darker
pigmentation
• The Labia Majora:
⚬ Become flaccid
with age and
after childbirth
6
27. LABIA MINORA
• Referred to as the
“inner lips”
• Made up of
erectile,
connective tissue
that darkens and
swells during
sexual arousal.
7
28. CLITORIS
• The small penis-like
structure.
• Highly sensitive organ
composed of nerves,
blood vessels, and
erectile tissue
• It is made up of a shaft
and a glans.

29. Urethral opening
• The urethra is the
tube that carries
urine from the
bladder to the
outside of the body.
Its opening is
located below the
clitoris, directly
above the vaginal
opening
9
30. VAGINAL OPENING
• A mucous
membrane normally
covers the opening
into the vagina,
called the hymen.
• Posterior to the
vaginal opening are
the two
Bartholin’s glands.
9
31. PERINEUM
• The muscle and
tissue located
between the vaginal
opening and anal
canal.
• It supports and
surrounds the lower
parts of the urinary
and digestive tracts.
10
35. VAGINA
• It is a distensible
fibromuscular tube
that extends from
the perineum
through the pelvic
floor and into the
pelvic cavity
• It measures
approximately 8–
12 cm in length.
15
36. VAGINA
• The anterior wall of the
vagina is related to the
base of the bladder and
to the urethra; in fact,
the urethra is embedded
in, or fused to, the
anterior vaginal wall.
• Posteriorly, the vagina is
related principally to the
rectum.
37. CERVIX
The cervix is the lower portion (or the "neck")
of the uterus. It is approximately 1 inch long
and 1 inch wide and opens into the vagina.
38. • Known as the
“Womb”.
• The uterus is a
thick-walled
muscular organ
in the midline
between the
bladder and
rectum.

41. Egg cells
At birth, a female’s
ovaries contain all
the eggs she will
ever produce.
However, the eggs
do not start to
mature until she
enters puberty.
42. Egg cells
A female typically
has approximately 1
to 2 million eggs at
birth, with about
300,000 to
400,000 remaining
by puberty .
