1. Two small organs located a few inches below the
waist on each side of body.
2. Two Important Functions:
1. To produce the female sex cells= eggs or ova.
Ovum = Singular
2. To release female sex hormones;
A) Estrogen
B) Progesterone
3. Female babies are born with 200,000 - 400,000 immature eggs
at birth.
4. At puberty, ______ egg is released per month. About
_______eggs are released in a woman's reproductive years.
One
375
One egg is the size of a typewriter dot!
5. ________= the release of a mature egg (ovum)from
the ovary.
Ovulation
6. An egg will survive for _____hours once it is
released from the ovary
24
7. Serves as a passageway for the ovum(egg) from the ovary to
the uterus.
8. Inside the fallopian tubes, tiny hairs called ______push
(move) the egg toward the uterus.
Cilia
9. Fimbria –Finger-like extensions at the ends of the Fallopian
Tubes.
10. Fertilization takes place in the Fallopian Tubes.
11. Fertilization = is the union of the egg & sperm.
Egg and Sperm Unite!
What is another name for the Uterus?
Womb
12. Uterus is a hollow, muscular, pear shaped organ
located above and behind the bladder.
13. The fertilized egg will implant itself the uterus to
grow into a baby during the nine months of pregnancy.
14. The Uterus has layers of tissue called the
Endometrium (the inner lining)
It has a rich supply of blood to protect and nourish the
fetus!
CERVIX
15. Cervix =the narrow base of the uterus which opens
up into the vagina.
16. The Cervix will Dilate (open or expand) to allow the
baby to exit during child birth.
**Pin size opening**
The picture above to the left is an inflamed
endometrium.
Abnormal menstrual periods may have a variety of
causes, such as endometrial hyperplasia.
When the endometrium becomes unusually thick it is
called endometrial hyperplasia.
Statement Scrambler: Read the statements on
the next slide and determine the order that they
should be placed. Using the knowledge you have
gained this week, try your best to place these in the
proper order.
 Use
a blank piece of paper, list 1-6, write down
your responses.
 If
you have a question or concern please RAISE
your hand!
 This

6 Embryo will now connect to endometrium and grow for
nine months of pregnancy in uterus
1 Ovulation occurs: egg is released from ovary into
fallopian tube
3 Uterus lining thickens preparing for pregnancy or house
fertilized egg
4
Egg and sperm unite in fallopian tube also known
as fertilization
5 Egg is now fertilized and considered an embryo
2 Sperm is ejaculated into the vaginal canal
IF A FEMALE DOES NOT GET PREGNANT…

*
If egg is not fertilized signals are sent to the
brain of “no pregnancy” and body gets ready
for menstrual cycle
Female having symptoms of PMS
(Premenstrual Syndrome)
Uterine lining will shed and excrete from
within the body along with unfertilized egg
A menstrual period will take place for 4-8 days

17. Vagina - A hollow muscular tube leading
from the uterus to the outside of the body. It’s
walls are very elastic (stretch).
18. This is the female organ for intercourse.
(Sperm enters the female).
19. Another name =Birth Canal. The baby exits
here.
20. The menstrual flow exits here; it is the second
opening between the urethra and the anus.
21. The external opening is partially covered by a thin
sheet of skin(membrane)=hymen.
22. The vagina dramatically expands to allow a baby to
be born.
23. The vagina is very elastic and 3 ½ inches long
1. Intercourse
2. Birth
3. Menstrual Flow Exits

the ovaries?
Where does fertilization occur?
What is another name for the birth canal?
What is another name for the uterus?
What is the name for the narrow opening from
the uterus into the birth canal ?
The fallopian tubes are lined with tiny hairs.
What function do they have ? Why is it necessary
for the fallopian tubes to be lined with these
hairs?

List two concepts you feel you want to
learn more about or are having trouble
with.
25. The Bladder is in front of the uterus.During
pregnancy the uterus pushes down on the bladder.
26. The Rectum is at the end of the large intestines
near the anus.
27. The Anus is the opening in the body for the
removal of solid waste.
1. Urethra
2. Vagina
3. Anus
29. Men have 2 openings??
1. Urethra
2. Anus
30. Top (smaller) = Urethral opening
Bottom = Vaginal opening
31. Mons Pubis- soft fatty tissue on top of the
pubic bone.
32. It protects the females internal organs.
It becomes covered with pubic hair during
puberty.
33. Labia Majora- (Outer Labia)-two outer
folds of skin which protects the urethra
and vagina.
Labia=Lip Majora=Larger
34. Labia Minora- (Inner Labia)-two thinner
folds of skin which are located under the
labia majora. It contains numerous nerve
endings/it forms a hood over the clitoris.
Labia=Lip
Minora=Smaller
35. Uretha -Urine is released from the
bladder through this tube
36. The Clitoris is located within the Labia
Minora.
Contains many nerve endings and blood
vessels/ it is similar to the male’s penis in
that it will become erect due to sexual
excitement.
It fills with blood & becomes erect.
37. Hymen- thin membrane (sheet of skin)
which may partially covers the vaginal
opening.
It can be broken during exercise or sexual
intercourse.
38. Orgasm = the climax of sexual
excitement.
Female can have one or several orgasms during
sexual intercourse, whereas the male can have
only one.
