Mesoderm - ...ANSWER...✓✓ the embryo's middle layer.
Gonad (Sex Gland) - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is the first structure
that is formed in the body. Is composed of an internal
portion called a medulla and an external portion known
as the cortex.
What happens in the 7th to 8th week of gestation in a
male embryo? - ...ANSWER...✓✓ The cortex of the gonad
regresses, and the medulla develop into a testis
What process is stimulated by the production of
testosterone in the testes in the male embryo? -
...ANSWER...✓✓ The mesonephric ducts evolve into the
efferent ductule, vas deferens, epididymis, seminal
vesicle, ad ejaculatory duct.

When do the testes produce spermatoza (sperm)? -
...ANSWER...✓✓ Not until the male individual reaches
puberty.
At the time of birth how many oocytes is present in the
ovary? - ...ANSWER...✓✓ 2 to 4 million
Vulva (pudendum femininum) - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is the
portion of the female external genitalia that lies posterior
to the mons pubis. It consist of the labia majora, labia
minora, citoris, vestibule of the vagina, vaginal opening,
and Bartholin's glands.
Mons Pubis (Mons Veneris) - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is a layer of
subcutaneous tissue anterior to the genitalia in front of
the symphysis pubis. Located in the lowest portion of the
abdomen and typically is covered with pubic hair that
grows in a transverse pattern. The texture and amount of
pubic hair vary ethnically. This part of the female
reproductive system is essentially a fatty pad that
cushions and protects the pelvic bones, especially during
intercourse. Its main function is to protect the clitoris and
vestibule.

Labia Majora - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Are the two folds of
tissue that lie lateral to the genitalia and serve to protect
the delicate tissue between them. Normally this is
covered with pubic hair, while the media surfaces which
are moist and pink, are without pubic hair. During
pregnancy, this part is highly vascular as a result of
hormonal influences. Its main function is to protect the
clitoris and vestibule.
Labia Minora - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Are two folds of tissue
that lie within the labia majora and converge near the
anus. This structure is moist and absent of hair follicles
and resembles mucous membrane. It contains a number
of sebaceous glands that provide lubrication and
protective bacteriocidal secretions. During puberty, this
enlarges and after menopause, it becomes smaller
becomes because of the declining hormonal levels. Its
main function is to protect the clitoris and vestibule.
Clitoris - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is located at the upper junction
of the labia minora. Its composed of erectile tissue and is
primarily the organ of sexual pleasure and orgasm in
women. It contains rich blood and nerve supply and is
extremely sensitive. Sensory receptors located in this
part send information to the sexual response area in the
brain (limbic system).

What does the clitoris secrete? - ...ANSWER...✓✓
Smegma which is a cheese like fatty substance with a
distinctive odor.
Prepuce (Clitoral hood) - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is a small fold
of skin that partially covers the glans (head) of the
clitoris.
Vestibule - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is essentially an oval-shaped
enclosed by the labia minora. It contains openings to the
urethra and vagina, the Skene's glands, and the
Bartholin's glands. This area is extremely sensitive to
chemical irritants. Nurses should be prepared to educate
women about the potential discomforts associated with
the use of dyes and perfumes found in soaps, detergents,
and feminine hygiene products and encourage their
discontinuation if symptoms develop.
Urethral (Urinary) Meatus - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Is located in
the midline of the vestibule, approximately 0.4 to 1 inch (1
to 2.5 cm) below the clitoris. The small opening is often
shaped like an inverted "V"
