Female reproductive system

• The female reproductive system
• Fertilization is when a sperm cell unites with an ovum to form a zygote, which then develops into an embryo.
• Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of the ovaries into the fallopian tube, which occurs approximately once every month during a woman's childbearing years.
• The ovaries are the female sex glands that produce eggs (ova) and secrete hormones.
• The ovaries are the female sex glands that produce eggs (ova) and secrete hormones.
• Puberty is the stage at which sexual maturity begins, marked by the onset of menstruation (menarche) in females.
• Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining that occurs if fertilization does not occur within about two weeks following ovulation.
• Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual periods due to the depletion of ovarian follicles.
• The uterus is where fertilized eggs implant and grow into fetuses.
• Lactation is the production of milk by mammary glands in response to hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• The vagina is the muscular passageway through which menstrual blood flows out of the body.
• The vagina is the muscular passageway through which menstrual blood flows out of the body.
• The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects it to the vagina.
• The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects it to the vagina.
• Menstrual cycle refers to the monthly changes in the uterus lining and other organs involved in reproduction.
• During the follicular phase, estrogen levels increase, causing the endometrium to thicken and prepare for implantation of a fertilized egg.
• The menstrual cycle consists of three phases: follicular phase, ovulatory phase, and luteal phase.
• Amenorrhea refers to the absence or cessation of menstrual periods.
• Fertility refers to the ability to conceive and bear children.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by enlarged ovaries containing numerous small follicles filled with fluid instead of developing into mature eggs.
• Implantation is the attachment of a fertilized egg to the wall of the uterus, beginning the development of a new human being.
• The vulva includes the labia majora, minora, clitoris, vestibule, and urethral opening.
• External genitalia include the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, hymen, and urethral opening.
• Fertilization is the process by which a sperm cell unites with an ovum (egg) to form a zygote.
• The hypothalamus secretes GnRH, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release FSH and LH.
• Females have internal genitalia such as the vagina, cervix, and uterus.
• The vulva includes the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, urethral opening, and vaginal opening.
• Infertility is defined as the failure to achieve pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse or six months if the woman is over age 35.
• Primary infertility is when a couple has never been able to have a baby.
• The vagina is the muscular tube through which sperm enter during intercourse and babies exit during childbirth.
• Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstrual cramps.
• Primary infertility is when a couple has never been able to have a baby.
• The hypothalamus secretes GnRH, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release FSH and LH.
• The vulva includes the labia majora, minora, clitoris, vestibule, and urethral opening.
• The internal female reproductive organs are the fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries, and vagina.
• The vulva includes the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, urethral opening, and vaginal opening.
• Fertilization is the process by which a sperm cell unites with an ovum (egg) to form a zygote.
• The fallopian tubes carry mature eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
• Ovulation occurs when an egg is released from one of the ovaries into the fallopian tube, where fertilization can occur if sperm are present.
• The external genitalia include the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, urethral opening, and vaginal opening.
