    *THE HUMAN

    REPRODUCTIVE
    SYSTEM*
    (FEMALE)
    The reproductive systems in
    both the male and female
    consist of primary and
    secondary sex organs and
    sex glands.
    The primary function of the
    reproductive systems is to
    perpetuate the species
    through sexual or germ cell
    fertilization and reproduction.
    MORPHOLOGY
    refers to the size, shape
    and structure of a
    given organ.
    PHYSIOLOGY is the study of
    how living organisms
    function, including such
    processes as nutrition,
    movement, and reproduction.
    The role of the male
    reproductive system
    is to produce and
    transport of

    sperm cells.
    The role of the female
    reproductive system
    is to produce
    egg cells
    and for child bearing
    OVARIES –
    almond-shaped
    organs. They are
    located on each
    side of the body,
    a few inches
    below the waist.
    OVARIES –
    They secrete
    hormones called
    estrogen and
    progesterone to
    produce mature
    egg cells.
    OVARIES –
    The eggs begin
    to mature when
    the female
    reaches puberty.
    OVARIES – During
    puberty, the ovaries
    usually produce and
    release one ripened
    egg every 28 days.
    This process is
    called
    OVULATION.
    FALLOPIAN
    TUBES– two
    very fine tubes
    that extend from
    each ovary into
    the uterus.
    UTERUS or
    WOMB –
    hollow,
    muscular, pear-
    shaped organ
    located between
    the two ovaries.
    UTERUS or
    WOMB – It is
    here that a
    fertilized egg
    will develop and
    grow into a baby.
    UTERUS or
    WOMB –
    However, if the
    egg remains
    unfertilized, the
    uterus sheds, then
    leave the body as
    menstrual
    discharge.
    CERVIX – A
    narrow structure
    within an inch-long
    canal connecting
    the lower end of
    the uterus to the
    upper portion of
    the vagina.
    VAGINA or BIRTH
    CANAL – Is a
    hollow tube that
    leading from the
    cervix to the outside
    of the body. The wall
    is elastic, which
    allows it to expand
    during childbirth and
    sexual intercourse.

    VULVA–
    the external
    genitalia
    a. mons veneris
    Is the hairy skin-covered pad of fat
    over the pubic bone.
    b. labia minora
    b. labia minora
    Are the small lips covered with
    modified skin.
    c. labia majora
    Are the large lips covered with
    pubic hair.
    d. clitoris
    e. vaginal orifice
    Is the opening into the vagina.
    The largest cell
    in the female
    body is the egg.
    A woman never runs
    out of eggs. At birth
    she has between 1
    and 2 million
    potential eggs and by
    puberty has 300,000
    to 400,000 viable
    eggs that can be
    fertilized.
    The average lifespan of
    an egg once it is
    released from the ovary
    is 12-24 hours after
    which it either
    disintegrates or is
    flushed out of the body
    with the menstrual flow.
    The average life span
    of the sperm is 2-3 days.
    The average
    woman is ready
    to give birth
    when fully
    dilated at 10 cm.
    Some women
    cannot dilate past
    4 cm so the have
    to get a caesarean
    section.
    Some women can
    open up to about
    25 cm, which
    makes for a very
    fast labor, but
    this is not very
    common.
