Test your brian ? Question related female reproductive system

•  The ovaries are located one on each side of the lower abdomen (figureA.1)
•  Each ovary is about 2 to 4 CM in length and connected to the pelvic wall and uterus by the ligaments.
• In female reproductive system,each ovaries is covered by a thin epithelium which encloses the ovarian stroma the stroma is divided into two zone a peripheral cortex and inner medulla

Female accessory ducts:

1. Oviduct (fallopian tubes)
2. Uterus 
3. Vagina 

•  The oviduct( fallopian tubes),uterus  and vagina constitute  the female accessory ducts.

•  Each  fallopian tube is  about 10 to 12 cm long and extend from periphery  of each  ovaries to uterus(figure A.3) the part closer to the ovary is the funnel-shaped infundibulum. 

• The ages of the infundibulum possess finger like projection called fimbriae, which is help in collection of the ovum after ovulation.

•  The infundibulum leads to a thicker part of the oviduct’ called ampulla.  The last part of the oviduct isthmus has a narrow  lumen and  it join the uterus.

•  The uterus is most important of female reproductive system for baby growth and it is single and also called womb.The shape of uterus  is like an inverted pear , ligaments support to inverted pear and attach  to the pelvic wall. The uterus open into vagina through a narrow cervix the cavity of the cervix is called cervical canal( figureA.2) which is along with vagina form the birth canal. The wall of the [know about Menstrual Cycle]

Diagrammatic sectional view of female reproductive systems

Uterus layer: significant part of female reproductive system 

1. External thin layer   perimetrium
2. Middle thick layer    myometrium
3. Inner layer              endometrium

Female external genitalia:

1. Mons pubic 
2. Labia majora
3. Labia minora
4. Clitoris

•  The female external genitalia include mons public, labia majora, labia minora and clitoris(fig A.1)

•  Mons pubic  is a cushion  of fatty tissues covered by skin and pubic hair.The labia majora  are fleshy  folds  of tissues which extend down from the mobs pubic and surround the vaginal opening.

•  The Libia minora are paired  folds of tissue under the labia majora, The opening of the vagina is often covered partially  by a membrane called Hymen. 

• The clitories is a tiny finger like structure which lies at the upper junction of two Libia minora above the urethral opening. The hymen is often torn during the 1st coitus (intercourse).

• In female reproductive systems,a functional mammary gland is characteristic of all female mammals. The mammary glands are paired structures (breasts) that contain glandular tissue and it has variable amount of fat.

A diagrammatic view of Mammary gland(fig A.3)

•  The glandular tissue of each breast is divided into 15-20 mammary lobes, containing clusters of cells called alveoli (Figure A.3)

• The alveoli’s secrete milk, which is stored in the cavities (lumens) of alveoli. After the alveoli open into mammary tubules.

•  The  tubules of each lobe join to form a mammary duct, several mammary ducts Join to form a thicker mammary ampulla, which connects to lactifexous duct through which, milk  sucke out. 

So this is short discussed about female reproductive system which important for those who preparing exam.
