 ovaries | primary femal sex organ |
| before birth the ovary contains | 1.5 million oogonia |
| oogonia | immature female egg cells |
| location of ovary | posterior pelvic wall in ovarian fossa |
| broad ligament that supports the ovary | parietal peritoneum |
| innermost vascular area of ovary | medulla |
| principal substance of the ovary | cortex |
| collagenous connective tissue under the germinal epithelium of the ovary | tunica albiguinea |
| outermost cuboidal cells of the ovary | germinal or superficial epithelium |
| at birth, oogonia are called | primary oocytes |
| primary oocytes surrounded by randomly arranged follicle cells | primordial follicles |
| contain uniform cuboidal follicle cells around a primary oocyte | primary follicle |
| nutritive fluid that has fused together inside follicle cells | antrum |
| protective gel layer around oocytes formed from follicle cells | zona pellucidium |
| primary oocyte plus antrum, muliple layers of granulosa and zona pellucidium | secondary follicle |
| a mature follicle cell at maximum size | graafian |
| when the Graafian cell ruptures | ovulation |
| protective gel layer of secondary oocyte | zona pellucidia |
| two or more layers of granulosa cells around secondary oocyte | corona radiata |
| after ovulation, the remaining portion of the graafian follicle | corpus luteum |
| function of corpus luteum | produce estrogen and progesterone |
| where egg is fertilized | infundibrium of the fallopian tube |
| long part of the fallopian tube | isthmus |
| where fallopian tube meets the uterus | interstitial segment |
| motile processes which hang over the ovary | fimbriae |
| innermost layer of endometrium | stratum functionalis |
| replaces the stratum functionalis when it is shed | startum basalis |
| outermost connective tissue of the uterus | perimetrim |
| middle smooth muslce layer of the uterus | myometrium |
| copulatory organ of the female | vagina |
| vascular connective tissue that covers vagina at birth | hymen |
| external female genitalia | vulva |
| hair covered skin folds | labia majora |
| hairless inner skin folds | labia minora |
| female erectile tissue | clitoris |
| where milk is stored | lactiferous sinuses |
| glands inside mammary lobes | lactiferous glands |
| pigmented area around nipple | areola |
| when male sperm combines withe female egg | zygote |
| formed after zygote undergoes several mitoses | morula |
| multicellular with a fluid filled cavity | blastocyst |
| outer layer of blastocyst | trophoblast |
| inner cell mass of blastocyst | embryoblast |
| where blastocyst implats | stratum functionalis |
| fetal portion of the placenta | chorion |
| maternal portion of the placenta | deeper portion of stratum funtionalis |
| after 2-3 months, it secretes estrogen and progesterone | placenta |
| layer of cells lifted off the blastocyst | amnion |
| when embryonic disc transforms into a three layered embryo | gastrulation |
| outer layer of embryo | ectoderm |
| inner layer of embryo | endoderm |
| forms the nervous tissue | ectoderm |
| forms the muscels, bone and blood | mesoderm |
| forms the epithelial lining and organs | endoderm |
