• A female reproductive system is more complex than a male reproductive system due to the three significant functions it comprises: ovum production, fertilization, and nurturing and development of the fetus.
• Fraternal twins are those that happen when two egg cells and two sperm cells fertilize.
• Identical twins occur if the zygote splits into 2 through the process of meiosis, using one egg and one sperm.
• The ovary is responsible for the production of the egg cell, also known as ovum production.
• The ovary has fimbriae, which are finger-like projections that perform a sweeping action, as the egg cell is not motile without them.
• The fallopian tubes or uterine tubes are the site of fertilization, as the sperm cell will look for the egg cell by these tubes.
• The uterus is responsible for the development and nourishment of the zygote.
• Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the development of the zygote occurs outside its normal location, such as in the fallopian tube.
• Prepuce, also known as "foreskin", is a technical term for the external covering of the penis.
• In other cultures and countries, they cut the prepuce and/or clitoris.
• Mons pubis is a tissue, covered with pubic hair, that serves as a cushion during sexual intercourse.
• Labia majora are the larger lips, folds of tissue that protect the other external organs and contain glands such as sebaceous glands.
• Labia minora protect the delicate organs such as clitoris, opening of vagina chuchu orifice: means butas.
• Vestibule contains urethra and vaginal openings.
• Pudendal cleft refers to the indentations and a slit in between the labia’s.
• Clinical perineum is a term for separation, the area between, that separates the vulva from the anus to distinguish an area and also the incision during labor.
• Episiotomy is a surgical incision for the clinical perineum.
• Clitoris is the female penis, counterpart, capable of being erected, blood accumulates during sexual activity, and is the female homologue of the male penis.
• Females feel more intense pleasure during sexual intercourse because there are more nerve endings attached (fudendal nerve).
• Orgasm has a recovery period.
• Menarche is the first ever menstruation.
• Amenorrhoea is the absence of menstruation.
• Menopausal stage is the end point of menstruation, no more ovulation.
• Mammary glands produce milk (prolactin).
• Prolactin stimulates milk production.
• Oxytocin is a hormone that is released during labor, stimulates the contractions, gives the reflexes when ready na manganak.
• The production of prostaglandins, which increases uterine contractions, increases.
• Areola is the pigment part of the nipple.
• Nipple is where milk is excreted.
• Lactiferous sinus is where milk is stored.
• Menstruation occurs from Day 1 to 5 with bleeding and the follicles beginning to mature.
• The rebuilding of the endometrial lining occurs from Day 6 to 13.
• Ovulation occurs on Day 14 with a high hormonal level, particularly estrogen.
• The endometrium prepares itself for implantation from Day 15 to 28 with low estrogen levels.
• A slit in between the labia’s.
• Identical twins are produced if the zygote splits into two through the process of meiosis, using one egg and one sperm.
• The egg cell is not motile without the fimbriae.
• The fallopian tubes are the site of fertilization, where the sperm cell will look for the egg cell.
• The uterus is responsible for the development and nourishment of the zygote, often referred to as "bahay bata".
• Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the development of the zygote occurs outside its normal location, such as in the fallopian tube.
