Female Reproductive System
UTERUS
LAYERS
MYOMETRIUM
(middle layer)
PERIMETRIUM
(outermost serous layer)
ENDOMETRIUM
(internal layer)
Stratum basale
(retained during menstruation)
Stratum functionalis
(sloughed off at menstruation
Stratum compactum
Stratum spongiosum
OVIDUCTS
CHARACTERISTICS
Have a wall of smooth muscle, an inner mucosa & serosa (adventitia layer)
12 cm long muscular tubes
Lined by a single layer of columnar epithelial cells
Ciliated cells
Majority in the infundibulum and ampulla
Ciliated apical surface
Help to move the fluid from the ovary to uterus
Peg cell
Provide nutrients for the ovum and sperm
Non-ciliated secretory cells
Have an extensive golgi
DIVIDED INTO
Infundibulum
Flared & fringed
Ampulla
Site of fertilization
2/3 length of the oviduct
Have a thin wall
Has primary, secondary and tertiary longitudinal mucosal folds
Isthmus
Has few longitudinal mucosal folds
Embedded in the uterine wall
Interstitial
MAMMARY GLANDS
CHARACTERISTICS
Made up of 15-25 secretory lobes covered by adipose tissue
Secretory units composed of simple cuboidal / simple columnar epithelium
Each lobe consists of single lactiferous duct
Each lobe is separated by adipose tissue and connective tissues
Nipple
Conical shaped
Covered by a thin pigmented stratified squamous epithelium
Contain smooth muscle within it (contraction makes the nipple become errect)
Contain numerous nerve endings below the skin
Lactiferous ducts
Lined by a stratified squamous epithelium
The tissue become cuboidal towards lactiferous sinus
Leading directly to nipple

CONSISTS OF
Labia Majora
Labia Minora
Clitoris
Vestibule

COMPOSED OF
Mucosa

Muscular layer
Composed of longitudinal & circular smooth muscle
Fibrous adventitial layer
Rich in elastic fibers
OVARY
CHARACTERISTICS
Contain tunica albuginea between the germinal epithelium
3 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, and 1 cm thick
Contain highly vascular medulla
Covered by germinal epithelium (Simple cuboidal epithellium)
Almond shaped
CONTAIN
Cortex
Has highly cellular connective tissue
Contain ovarian follicle
Medulla
Central portion of ovary
Contains loose connective tissue
Contains large blood vessels
