sekumpulan organ yang terlibat dlm penghasilan
benih (sperma @ ovum), persenyawaan dan
pembentukan zigot dan pembesaran menjadi bayi

Ovary
Ovary – a pair of oval organs in female.
Produce:
Secondary oocytes that develop into mature ova after
fertilisation,
Hormones (progesterone, oestrogens, inhibin, relaxin).
Uterine tube/Fallopian tube
A pair of tube about 4” long connects
superolaterla border of uterus to
each ovary.
Provides:
a route for sperm to reach ovum,
length.
Isthmus – short, narrow, thick-walled portion, joins
uterus.
Has 3 parts:
Fundus – dome-shape portion, most superior.

muscle,
Endometrium (endo=in) – innermost layer. It is divided
into 2 layer:
Stratum functionalis (functional layer) – lining uterine
cavity, slough off during menstruation.
Stratum basalis (basal layer) – permanent layer, gives
rise to striatum functionalis after each menstruation.
Vagina
Vagina = tubular, 4” muscular fibrocanal from uterine
cervix to exterior of the body.
Vulva comprises of
Mons pubis (mons=mountain) – elevation of adipose
sebaceous glands.
Clitoris – erectile tissue at anterior junction of labia
minora.
Vulva
Vestibule – area between each labia minora. Within
vestibule, there are vaginal orifice, external urethral
orifice, opening of ducts of several glands.
Paraurethral (Skene’s) glands – embedded in the
wall of urethra.
Greater vestibular (Bartholin’s) glands – sides of

Each ovary has:
Estrogens
Secreted by ovarian follicles,
3 of significant estrogens are β-estradiol, estrone, estriol.
Promotes development and maintenance of:
female reproductive structures,
secondary sexual characteristics:
distribution of adipose tissue in breast, abdomen, mons
pubis, hips,
voice pitch,
broad pelvis,
pattern of hair growth on head and body.
and breast.
Progesterone:
Secreted by corpus luteum,
Prepare and maintain endometrium for implantation,
Prepare mammary gland for milk secretion.
Relaxin:
Secreted by corpus luteum and placenta,
Inhibit contraction of uterus,
Increase flexibility of symphysis pubis at the and of pregnancy,
Help to dilate cervix during delivery of the baby.
Menstrual cycle
Menstrual cycle
Menstrual cycle
A concurrent series of changes in the endometrium of
the uterus to prepare it for the arrival of a fertilised ovum
that will develop there until birth.
Events in uterus:
Progestrone and estrogens secreted by corpus luteum:
Promote growth and coiling of endometrial glands,
Vascularisation of superficial endometrium,
Thickening of endometrium to 12-18 mm.
If there’s no fertilisation, progestrone and estrogen level
decreased due to degeneration of corpus luteum.
Withdrawal of progesterone and estrogen causes menstruation.
Embryo
Zygote Fetus
Pregnancy
Embryonic period – from fertilisation to 8th week of
development. The developing human is called embryo.
