Female reproductive system

The sad that entirely enclosed the embryo during development is the

Amnion

The hollow ball of cells resulting from multiple divisions of the fertilized egg cell is the

Blastocyst

The neck of the uterus that projects into the vagina is called the

Cervix

The small mass of erectile tissue that enlarged during sexual arousal is the

Clitoris

After the egg cell is released from the follicle the follicle cells form a structure called the

Corpus luteum

During the first 2 months of life the developing individual is referred to as an

Embryo

The inner tissue layer of the uterine wall partially sloughed off during menstruation is the

Endometrium

Fertilization of the egg cell by sperm cell takes place in the

Fallopian tube

During its final 7 months the developing individual is known as a

Fetus

Layers of cell that surround the primary oocytes form a structure called the

Follicle

Within the ovary, the follicle grows and matures under the influence of the hormone

Fsh

A reliable indication that fertilization has taken place is the presence in the bloodstream of the horomone

HCG

The process in ehich the blastocyst contacts the wall of the endometrium and buried itself therein is called the

Implantation

Immature egg cells contained within the ovary are known as

Oocytes

The organs where egg cells are produced in the female reproductive tract are the

Ovaries

A surge of estrogen and progesterone accompany the release of the oocyte from the follicle, a process known as

Ovulation

The Mature egg cell is also known as an

Ovum

During the early ages of birth contractions of the uterus are stimulated by a horomone realesded from the pituitary gland known as

Oxytocin

Within the uterus the organ that produces horomones and provides a medium for the transfer of nutrients, gases and waste products between embryonic and maternal blood streams is the

Placenta

The stage of the menstrual cycle during which follicles develop in the ovaries and the endometrium is repaired is the

Proliferative stage

The king ropelike structure extending from the placenta to the embryo during development is known as the

Umbilical cord

The hollow organ wherethe embryo develops in the female is the

Uterus

The muscular tube extending between the uterus and the external genitalia is the

Vagina

When an agg cell United with a sperm cell the resulting fertilizer egg cell is called the

Zygote

The physiological and structural changes in the female reproductive tract that occur in response to changes of ovarian horomone is known as the

menstural cycle
