FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM-EXTERNAL ORGANS

   REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

v  Living organisms having the properties to distinguish the differences between living & non living organisms by the ability of reproduction.

v  Both males & females produce specialized reproductive Germ cells called ‘GRANTS’.

v  The male gametes are called ‘spermatozoa’.

v  The female gametes are called “Ova”.

v  It contains Genetic material or ‘Genes ‘on Chromosomes.

v  Gametes are formed by “Meiosis”.

v  When the ovum is fertilized by a spermatozoon the resultant “Zygote”. It contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.

v  One of each pair from the father & one from the mother.

v  The zygote embeds itself in the wall of the ultras it grows & develop during the 40 week “gestation period before birth”. 

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM  ARE:

v  Formation of female gametes ova.

v  Reception of make gametes, spermatozoa.

v  Provision of suitable nuts for fertilization of the ovum by spermatozoa & development of the resultant fetus.

v  Parturition.

v  Lactation

v  Production of break milk.

THE FUNCTIONS OF MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM:

v  Production of male gametes Spermatozoa.

Transmission of Spermatozoa to the female.

The female reproductive organs are divided into 2
 - 1. External organs.                                                                                

 2. Internal Organs.

I. EXTERNAL ORGANS:                                     

 1. Labia majora                       

 2. Labia minora                                                              

 3. Clitoris                                                                       

 4. Hymen

 5. Vestibularglands.

2. internal organs : 
1. Vagina 
2. Uterus .
3. Ovaries . 

LABIA MAJORA:

v  There are the 2 large folds which form the boundary of the uvula.

v  It composed of skin fibrous tissue and fat contain large no sebaceous glands.

v  At puberty hair grows on the mons pubis &  on the lateral surfaces of the labia majora.

LABIA MINORA:

v  These are the two smaller folds of skin between the labia majora.

v  It contains numerous sebaceous glands

v  The cleft between the labia minora is the vestibule.

CLITORIS:

We called it has female penis.

v  It contains sensory nerve ending &  erectile tissue.

HYMEN:

v  The hymen is a thin layer of mucous membrane which partially occludes the opening of the vagina.

v  It is normally incomplete to allow for passage of menstrual flow.

VERTIBULAR GLANDS:

v  The vestibular glands (Bartholdi’s glands are situated one on each side near the vaginal opening.

v  It is size of the small pea &  have duet.

v  They secrets much that beep the value mordant.

BLOOD SUPPLY:

   ARTERIAL SUPPLY: Pudendal  arteries & formula arteries

 VENOUS DRAINAGE: Internal iliac veins

NERVE  SUPPLY:  Pudendal Nerve supply.
