    Anatomy and Physiology: Patient P / Room No. 415 - 1

    Uploaded by

    Julianne B. Dela Cruz
    The document describes the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. It outlines the internal structures including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium. It also describes the external structures such as the vulva, labia, clitoris, urethra, vagina, and cervix. All of these structures work together to produce eggs, support fetal development, experience sexual pleasure, and facilitate childbirth.

    ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

    Patient P / Room No. 415 | 1


     Ovary - Produces ova and in mammals secretes the hormones
    estrogen and progesterone.
     Fallopian Tube – Provide suitable environment for fertilization,
    and transport the egg from the ovary to the central channel (lumen)
    of the uterus. 
     Uterus - Hosts the developing fetus, produces vaginal and
    uterine secretions, and passes the anatomically male sperm through
    to the fallopian tube.
     Endometrium - is the innermost lining layer of the uterus, and
    functions to prevent adhesions between the opposed walls of the
    myometrium, thereby maintaining the patency of the uterine cavity.
     Myometrium - is the middle layer of the uterine wall, consisting
    mainly of uterine smooth muscle cells (also called uterine myocytes)
    but also of supporting stromal and vascular tissue. Its
    main function is to induce uterine contractions.
     Perimetrium - is the outer serous layer of the uterus. The
    serous layer secretes a lubricating fluid that helps to reduce friction.
    The perimetrium is also part of the peritoneum that covers some of
    the organs of the pelvis.
     Urethra - is a hollow tube positioned between the urinary
    bladder and urinary meatus which takes urine stored in the bladder
    out of the body.
     Cervix - It facilitates the passage of sperm into the uterine cavity.
    It also maintains sterility of the upper female reproductive tract. The
    cervix, and all structures superior to it, are sterile. This ultimately
    protects the uterine cavity and the upper genital tract by preventing
    bacterial invasion. This environment is maintained by the
    INTERNAL frequent shedding of the endometrium, thick cervical mucus and a
    narrow external os.

     Vagina -  provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue  Clitoris - an organ that originates from the same cells as the
    from the uterus during a woman's monthly period; receives the penis glans penis and has abundant nerves that make it important in
    during sexual intercourse and holds the sperm until they pass in to sexual sensation and orgasm.
    the uterus; and provides a passageway for childbirth.
     Labia Majora - These forms the folds that cover the labia minora,
    clitoris, vulva vestibule, vestibular bulbs, Bartholin's glands,
    Skene's glands, urethra, and the vaginal opening.
     Labia Minora - They function as protective structures that
    surround the clitoris, urinary orifice, and vaginal orifice.
     Skene’s glands - also called periurethral or paraurethral glands,
    are located around the opening of the urethra. The glands may
    be involved in sexual stimulation and lubrication for sexual
    intercourse.
     Vulva - The vulva acts as the gate for the uterus or womb and
    provides protection by opening and closing of the lips of the vulva
    – labia majora and minora.
     Hymen - The hymen is a thin membrane that sometimes partially
    covers the entrance to the vagina. 
     Bartholin’s Glands - are located symmetrically at the posterior
    EXTERNAL region of the vaginal opening and play an important role in the
     Mons Pubis - The mons pubis is a pad of fat that located at the female reproductive system. These two pea-sized glands are
    anterior, over the pubic bone. After puberty, it becomes covered involved in mucus secretion and vaginal lubrication.
    in pubic hair.  It functions as a source of cushioning during sexual
    intercourse, which also contains sebaceous glands that secrete
    pheromones to induce sexual attraction.
     Prepuce - These skin folds protect the opening of the urethra Source: https://www.google.com/search?
    and the vagina.
