It has three layers.

The inner most layer of the uterus is the what? - ANSWER- Endometrium. It varies in thickness, abundance of glands, and vessels. What is the middle layer of the uterus? - ANSWER- Myometrium What is the outer most layer of the uterus? - ANSWER- Perimetrium What is the fundus? - ANSWER- Top aspect of the uterus. (convex above the tubes) What is the corpus? - ANSWER- Central portion or body of the uterus. What is the cervix? - ANSWER- Lower part of the uterus (neck) opens into the vagina has a central channel that allows sperm to enter and menstrual blood to exit. Covered in mucosa. Smooth firm and doughnut shaped. What does the cervix do? - ANSWER- Dilates during labor/delivery. Serves as a barrier to infection. Prior to child birth (nulliparous) the cervical os is... - ANSWER- Small and oval. Fallopian Tubes - ANSWER- flared end to capture released ovum; cilia propel thru tube. Fertilization occurs here; remains in tube 3-4 days. Ovaries - ANSWER- Almond shaped; suspended from several ligaments; primary function—release ovum and secretion of hormones-estrogen and progesterone. Breasts - ANSWER- Accessory organ of reproduction; divided into lobes containing glands and ducts; following childbirth prolactin begins excretion for milk production; colostrum produced prior to milk; contains maternal antibodies—especially immunoglobulin A—protects against enteric pathogens. Ova - ANSWER- Follicle or egg. Graafian Follicle - ANSWER- Sac that encloses the ovum or follicle Corpus Luteum - ANSWER- Is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries that is involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone and moderate levels of estradiol and inhibin. After ovulation it develops in the ovary from the enlarged ovarian follicle that released the ovum. What are some of the actions the corpus luteum does? - ANSWER- It is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids (including lutein) from the diet and secretes a moderate amount of estrogen to inhibit further release of gonadotropin-releasing

LH surges from the anterior pituitary and signals the final development and rupture of the mature follicle. Ovulation happens at what estimated day? - ANSWER- Day 14. (estimated) What happens during ovulation? - ANSWER- Estrogen drops Occurs approximately 10-12 hours after the LH surge and 24-36 hours after estrogen peaks. Menstruation occurs when? - ANSWER- Menstruation ALWAYS occurs 14 days after ovulation and lack of fertilization. When does the luteal phase happen? - ANSWER- Day 15 to 28. Begins at ovulation and lasts until the menstrual phase of the next cycle. What happens during the luteal phase? - ANSWER- After the follicle ruptures as it releases the egg it closes and forms the corpus luteum; which secretes increasing amounts of progesterone, which prepares the endomentrium for implantation. What are some signs and symptoms of ovulation? - ANSWER- Mittelschmerz: Pain on one side of abdomen at egg release Vaginal spotting Increased libido Increased desire Increased vaginal discharge: Cervix produces thin, clear, stretchy, slippery mucus Lower abdominal cramping Slight rise in basal body temperature Endometrial Phase (Uterine) - ANSWER- Consists of four phases: Proliferative Phase Secretory Phase Ischemic Phase Menstrual Phase What happens during the proliferative phase? - ANSWER- Corresponds w/ follicular phase. Approx day 5 of menstrual cycle Endometrial glands enlarge in response to estrogen. Blood vessels dilate and cause thickening of the endometrium. Cervical mucus becomes thin, stretchy, and more alkaline (EWCM). What happens during the secretory phase? - ANSWER- Begins at ovulation and lasts until approx. 3 days before menstruation. Coincides with the luteal phase. Progesterone is released by the corpus luteum at ovulation causing the endometrium to continue to thicken and become more vascular in preparation for fertilization. If fertilization does not occur the corpus luteum breaks down and progesterone levels begin to fall causing the endometrium to begin to break down.

What happens during the ischemic phase? - ANSWER- Occurs on the absence of fertilization. Estrogen and Progesterone drop sharply signaling a spasm of the arterioles causing ischemia of the basal layers of the endometrium. What happens during the menstrual phase? - ANSWER- Begins at the arteriole rupture secondary to ischemia. Blood is released into the uterus and the sloughing of the endometrium begins. The start of menstrual flow signals the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Menstruation - ANSWER- Uses a circadian rhythm. Defined as the normal, predictable process whereby the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) is expelled from the body. Typically occurs monthly. Menarche - ANSWER- Start of menstruation. What is the average age of menarche? - ANSWER- Avg age is 12 years but can occur anytime between 8-18. Can be irregular for first two years. What are some factors that contribute to age of menarche? - ANSWER- Genetics is the MOST important factor in determining the age at which menstruation begins. Geographic location, weight, health, culture, and social practices etc impact menstruation. What occurs in girls Pre-menarche - ANSWER- Development of breast buds What happens just before menarche starts approx a year out? - ANSWER- Appearance of pubic and axillary hair-followed by growth spurt Penis - ANSWER- Outlet for sperm and urine, becomes engorged with blood during arousal. Composed of three sinuses of erectile tissue Scrotum - ANSWER- Thermal regulator for testes—slightly cooler than body temp for normal sperm development. Thin skined. Cremaster muscles in the scrotal wall relax or contract to allow the testes to hang further from the body to cool or heat. Testes - ANSWER- Testes—produce sperm/synthesize testosterone (analogous to ovaries) Sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules. Ant pituitary releases FSH/LH stimulate the testes to produce testosterone which increases sperm production by the tubules and stimulates the production of seminal fluid (spermatogenesis) Epididymis - ANSWER- Coiled tube lying against the testes that is approx. 20ft long collects sperm from the testes and allows for maturation

Action in Male:Stimulates release of FSH and LH, initiating puberty; release is pulsatile. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone - ANSWER- Produced by: Anterior pituitary Target organ: Ovaries (female),Testes (male)

Action in Female: Stimulates final maturation of follicle. Stimulates growth and maturation of graafian follicles before ovulation. Action in Male: Stimulates Leydig cells of testes to secrete testosterone Luteinizing Hormone - ANSWER- Produced by: Anterior pituitary Target organ: Ovaries (female),Testes (male) Action in Female: Stimulates final maturation of follicle. Surge of LH about 14 days before next menstrual period causes ovulation. Stimulates transformation of graafian follicle into corpus luteum, which continues secretion of estrogens and progesterone for about 12 days if ovum is not fertilized. If fertilization occurs, placenta gradually assumes this function. Action in Male:Stimulates Leydig cells of testes to secrete testosterone. Estrogens - ANSWER- Produced by: Ovaries and corpus luteum (female), Placenta (pregnancy), Formed in small quantities from testosterone in Sertoli cells of testes (male); other tissues, especially liver, produce estrogen in male Target organ: Internal and external reproductive organs, Breasts (female), Testes (male) Action in Female: Breasts: induce growth of glandular and ductal tissue; initiate deposition of fat at puberty. Stimulate growth of long bones but cause closure of epiphyses, limiting mature height. Pregnancy: stimulate growth of uterus, breast tissue; inhibit active milk production; relax pelvic ligaments. Reproductive organs: a. Maturation at puberty b. Stimulation of endometrium before ovulation Action in Male:Necessary for normal sperm formation. Progesterone - ANSWER- Produced by: Ovary, corpus luteum, placenta Target organ: Uterus, female breasts Action in Female: Stimulates secretion of endometrial glands; causes endometrial vessels to become dilated and tortuous in preparation for possible embryo implantation. Pregnancy: induces growth of cells of fallopian tubes and uterine lining to nourish embryo; decreases contractions of uterus; prepares breasts for lactation but inhibits prolactin secretion.
