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
