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
