Female Reproductive Organs

Primary

Vagina

Increases in size overtime.

The vagina is a canal that joins the cervix (the lower part of uterus) to the outside of the body.

It also is known as the birth canal.

Labia Majora

The labia majora (“large lips”) enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs.

During puberty, hair growth occurs on the skin of the labia majora, which also contain sweat and oil-secreting glands.

Labia Minora

The labia minora (“small lips”) can have a variety of sizes and shapes.

They lie just inside the labia majora, and surround the openings to the vagina (the canal that joins the lower part of the uterus to the outside of the body) and urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body).

This skin is very delicate and can become easily irritated and swollen.

Bartholins Glands

These glands are located next to the vaginal opening on each side and produce a fluid (mucus) secretion.

Uterus

The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that is the home to a developing fetus.

The uterus is divided into two parts: the cervix, which is the lower part that opens into the vagina, and the main body of the uterus, called the corpus.

The corpus can easily expand to hold a developing baby.

A canal through the cervix allows sperm to enter and menstrual blood to exit.

Implantation

Implantation is defined as the process by which the embryo attaches to the endometrial surface of the uterus and invades the epithelium and then the maternal circulation to form the placenta.

It takes about 6-12 days for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and attach to the uterus in a process known as implantation (1,8).

The egg is pushed back towards the uterus by the cilia (1).

The egg must attach to the uterus to become a viable pregnancy.

Menstruation

Normally called a 'period'

Vagina bleeding occurs every month as a cycle.

Party blood and party tissue from inside the uterus

Labor

Starts two weeks before estimated date of delivery

Makes the efface thin

Helps the cervix dilate to open

Continous progessive contractions of the uterus

Allows fetus to move through the birth canal

The menstraul cycle begins, indicting the release of fertile ovum.

Enlargement of the labia of the vagina and a change in hormone production.

The hormones estrogen and progesterone are responsible for the menstraul cycle of the female.

Males are usually taller and heavier than females when hitting puberty.

Clitoris

The two labia minora meet at the clitoris, a small, sensitive protrusion that is comparable to the penis in males.

The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin, called the prepuce, which is similar to the foreskin at the end of the penis.

Like the penis, the clitoris is very sensitive to stimulation and can become erect.

Fallopian Tubes

These are narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus and serve as pathways for the ova (egg cells) to travel from the ovaries to the uterus.

Fertilization of an egg by a sperm normally occurs in the fallopian tubes.

The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants to the uterine lining.

Ovaries

Produces hormones to start the
menstraul cycle.

The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus.

The ovaries produce eggs and hormones.

Rectum

The rectum is the lower part of the large intestine that connects to the sigmoid colon. It is about 15 cm (6 in) long.

It receives waste from the colon and stores it until it passes out of the body through the anus.

The rectum stores feces until a person is ready to have a bowel movement.

Cervix

The lower, narrow end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and vagina.

Colon

The longest part of the large intestine (a tube-like organ connected to the small intestine at one end and the anus at the other).

The colon removes water and some nutrients and electrolytes from partially digested food.

Anus

The anus is the opening where the gastrointestinal tract ends and exits the body.

The anorectal line separates the anus from the rectum.

The anus starts at the bottom of the rectum, the last portion of the colon (large intestine).

Tough tissue called fascia surrounds the anus and attaches it to nearby structures

Hymen

Has no "proven" medical or phsycological purpose.

Membrane covering the vaginal opening.

Membrane can interfere with sex and/or tampon usage.

Can be removed surgically.

For some women, theres practically no tissues at all.

Bladder

Stores urine.

urine travels from bladder and throughout the urethra.

Body oder

Primary

Penis

The penis is the male organ for sexual intercourse. It has three parts: the root, which attaches to the wall of the abdomen; the body, or shaft; and the glans, which is the cone-shaped end of the penis.

Lots of nerves

Dorsal penile nerve

Illoinguinal nerves

The perineal nerves

Pudendal nerves

Lots of muscle

Covered with a loose layer of skin called foreskin.

Penis enlarges

Sperm is produced for the first time and the male will experience erections. This is due to engorgement of blood in the penis.

The whole process is under the influence of the hormone testosterone.

Releases semen and other fluids

Sperm

Sperm is made daily

Spermatozoon

Made by men in order to make babies

It has semen and also other kinds of fluids

Consists of a Tail and a Head

The head is called an Acrosome

The tail is called an flagellum

Strongest part

In the sperm that is made daily, one of those times make it to the egg

Lucky / Rare chance

Sperm can be made in alot of different locations on the body

Epididymis

Prostate

Testes

Seminal Vesicles

Vas Deferens

The head is meant to protect the sperm / semen

When the penis is erect, the flow of urine is blocked from the urethra, allowing only semen to be ejaculated at orgasm.

Shaft

The shaft of your penis extends from the tip to where it connects to your lower belly. It looks like a tube. Your urethra is inside the shaft. The foreskin is a patch of skin that covers and protects the head.

Cylindrical in shape and consists of three internal chambers.

Scrotum

The scrotum is the loose pouch-like sac of skin that hangs behind the penis.

The scrotum has a protective function and acts as a climate control system for the testes.

For normal sperm development, the testes must be at a temperature slightly cooler than the body temperature.

Testes

The testes are oval organs about the size of very large olives that lie in the scrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord.

Produces Testosterone

It is near the Vas Deferens

Most men have two testes

Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules.

These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.

Epididymis

The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle.

It functions in the carrying and storage of the sperm cells that are produced in the testes.

During sexual arousal, contractions force the sperm into the vas deferens.

Ejaculatory Ducts

These are formed by the fusion of the vas deferens and the seminal vesicles.

The ejaculatory ducts empty into the urethra.

Foreskin

The foreskin is the sheath of skin that covers the head (glans) of the penis. At birth, the foreskin is fully attached to the penis.

In time, the foreskin separates and can be retracted (pulled back). This can usually be done by the age of about two.

Head

Your glans is also called the head or tip of your penis. The opening of your urethra is here.

This is where pre-ejaculate (precum) and semen (cum) come out of, and it's where you pee out of. For many people, it's the most sensitive part of the penis.

The glans, which also is called the head of the penis, is covered with a loose layer of skin called foreskin.

(This skin is sometimes removed in a procedure called circumcision.)

Seminal Vesicles

The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach to the vas deferens near the base of the bladder.

The seminal vesicles produce a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy and helps with the sperms’ motility (ability to move).

The fluid of the seminal vesicles makes up most of the volume of a man’s ejaculatory fluid, or ejaculate.

Vas Deferens

The vas deferens is a long, muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, to just behind the bladder.

The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation.

Urethra

The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body.

In males, it has the additional function of expelling (ejaculating) semen when the man reaches orgasm.

When the penis is erect during sex, the flow of urine is blocked from the urethra, allowing only semen to be ejaculated at orgasm.

Prostate Gland

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized structure that is located below the urinary bladder in front of the rectum.

The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to the ejaculate.

Prostate fluids also help to nourish the sperm.

The urethra, which carries the ejaculate to be expelled during orgasm, runs through the center of the prostate gland.

Bulbourethral Glands

The bulbourethral glands, or Cowper’s glands, are pea-sized structures located on the sides of the urethra just below the prostate gland.

These glands produce a clear, slippery fluid that empties directly into the urethra.

This fluid serves to lubricate the urethra and to neutralize any acidity that may be present due to residual drops of urine in the urethra.

Cowper's Gland

Peasized glands that will produce thick clear mucus prior to ejaculation.

Protects the sperm while ejactulating.

Erectile Tissue

This tissue contains thousands of large spaces that fill with blood when the man is sexually aroused.

As the penis fills with blood, it becomes rigid and erect, which allows for penetration during sexual intercourse.

Skin is loose and elastic, allowing it to change in size when having an erection.

Bladder

Holds urine . When urinating the urine will travel through your urethra to maintain correct hydration levels.

Located infront of rectum.
