The Female Reproductive System

 

THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM 

Q-1: Identify parts labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 above.

  1. Oviduct or fallopian tube
  2. Ovary
  3. Uterus 
  4. Endometrium
  5. Cervix
  6. Vagina

Q-2: What are the functions of Oviduct, Ovary, Uterus, Cervix, Vagina and Endometrium?

  1. Oviduct (Fallopian Tube):
    • Site for fertilization
    • Transports ovum(eggs) from ovary to uterus
  2. Ovary:
    • Produces ova(egg)
    • Produces female sex hormones
  3. Uterus:
    • Supports fetal development
    • Contracts during childbirth
    • Sheds lining during menstruation
  4. Endometrium:
    • Lines the uterus
    • Thickens during menstrual cycle
    • Sheds during menstruation
    • For fertilized egg implantation
  1. Cervix:
    • Produces mucus
    • Passage for sperm to enter uterus during intercourse 
    • Dilates during childbirth
  2. Vagina:
    • Receives penis during intercourse
    • Serves as birth canal (Passage for a baby during birth)

Q-3: What are the functions of Rectum, Anus and Urinary bladder?

Digestive Organs

  1. Rectum:
    • Stores feces until elimination
    • Helps to absorb water and electrolytes
  2. Anus:
    • Eliminates feces from the body
    • Controls the passage of stool through muscle contractions

Urinary Organ

  1. Urinary Bladder:
    • Stores urine from the kidneys
    • Expels urine from the body through urination
Here are some questions and answers concerning the female reproductive system for Integrated Science

A1: To produce ova and female sex hormones.

Q2: What is menstruation?

A2: Shedding of the uterine lining when pregnancy doesn't occur.

Q3: What is the role of the cervix?

A3: Produces mucus and dilates during childbirth.

Q4: What is the function of the vagina?

A4: Receives penis during intercourse and serves as birth canal.

Q5: What is ovulation?

A5: Release of a mature ovum from the ovary.

Q6: How many ova are released during ovulation?

A6: One ovum.

Q7: What happens to the uterine lining during pregnancy?

A7: Thickens to support fetal development.

Q8: What is the menstrual cycle?

A8: Monthly changes preparing for potential pregnancy.

    Fertilization and embryo development

    Image
    Fertilization and embryo development  What is fertilization in humans? Answer: Combining of sperm and ovum nuclei. Where does fertilization typically occur? Answer: In the oviducts. What happens to unused sperm cells? Answer: They remain outside the ovum. What is the result of fertilization? Answer: Formation of a zygote. What is an embryo? Answer: Early stage of development before main body structures form. How long does the embryonic stage last? Answer: Until the end of the eighth week of pregnancy. What is the cell membrane? Answer: A thin layer on the outside of a cell. What is a zygote? Answer: A cell formed by combining sperm and ovum(egg) nuclei. What happens to the zygote as it moves along the oviduct? Answer: It divides to form 2, 4, 8, 16, ... cells. How long does it take for the zygote to develop into a hollow ball of cells? Answer: Between three and seven days. Where does the hollow ball of cells eventually reach and enter? Answer: The uterus. What happens if the hollow...
