Female reproductive system
1. Secondary oocyte leaves ovaries and goes to uterine tube ( Fallopian tube, oviduct) 2. Peristaltic wave and cilia
1. What's the path of the secondary oocyte after ovulation? 2. What allows the secondary oocyte to convey throughout the Fallopian tube?
corpus luteum
After ovulation, the ruptured follicle becomes _____ _____ which secretes estrogen and progesterone
Mammary
Breast are made of ____ glands, which are made of many Lobes, ducts, ligaments, and adipose tissue
Primary
During puberty, primordial follicles become _____ follicles each month
1. Endometrium - simple columnar ep. 2. Myometrium- smooth muscle 3. Perimetrium- serous coat, outer layer
Histology of uterine wall layers?
15-20
Lactiferous ducts has how many openings?
Connects ovary to uterus
Ovarian ligament
ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina
Path of egg?
Holds lateral uterus to connective tissue of external genitalia
Round ligament of uterus
1) fimbriae (finger-like extensions) 2) infundibulum - near ovary 3) ampulla - middle section; typical cute of oocyte fertilization 4) isthmus- narrow portion near uterus
