2 PRE-LAB EXERCISES A. Go to Module 47.3 Female Reproductive Anatomy. External genitalia Uterus Right ovary Cervix Vagina Left Fallopian tube Internal female reproductive anatomy consists of glands that produce ova (unfertilized eggs) and hormones, and structures that support the developing embryo. Using the list in Module 47.3, find the internal female reproductive structures by selecting the following terms. Read the definitions for each structure by choosing the book icon at the top, and answer the following questions: 1. Ovaries . a. What kind of gametes are produced by ovaries? b. Female gametes contribute ______________________________ the genetic instructions necessary for the development of an embryo after fertilization. c. Ovaries produce the endocrine hormones ____________________ and ____________________. d. Ovum is a term for an unfertilized egg. The plural of ovum is ____________________.
3 e. An unfertilized egg is released from an ovary by a process called ______________________________. f. After leaving the ovary, the egg enters the ______________________________ tube. 2. Uterine tubes . a. Each uterine tube consists of three coats: an external ______________________________ coat, a middle ______________________________ coat, and an internal ______________________________ coat. b. The uterine tubes are divided into three sections: the ______________________________, which connects to, and is continuous with, the uterus; the ______________________________, which curves over the ovary; and the ______________________________, which is open to the abdomen and surrounds the ovary. c. The finger-like projections of the uterine tube that extend over the ovary are called ______________________________. d. Fertilization (the fusion of egg and sperm) usually occurs in the ______________________________ of the uterine tube. 3. Uterus . a. Fertilized eggs that reach the uterus embed (implant) in the uterine ______________________________ and remain there, throughout development, as an embryo and then a fetus, until birth. 4. Cervix . a. The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina and serves as a passageway for ______________________________, ______________________________, and ______________________________. 5. Vagina . a. The vagina extends from the cervix to the vestibule (the external opening of the female reproductive tract). The vaginal wall consists of layers of muscle and is lined with a ______________________________ membrane.
4 b. The vagina carries menstrual flow outside the body, receives the male penis during intercourse, and serves as the ______________________________ during labor. 6. Select External genitalia and note where the vagina opens to the outside.
5 IN-LAB EXERCISES Use the following modules in Visible Body’s Anatomy & Physiology app to guide your exploration of the reproductive system. You can manipulate the images to see different views and isolate each structure. Be sure to select the book icon under the structure name to read information specific to that structure. You are responsible for the identification of all bolded terms . A. Go to Module 49.2 Pelvic Ligaments. Right posterior sacroiliac ligament Left cardinal ligament Right sacrospinous ligament Right endopelvic fascia Left uterosacral ligament Left iliolumbar ligament Perineal membrane Left obturator membrane Left inguinal ligament Left pubocervical fascia Anterior sacroiliac ligament 1. Select the term Pelvic ligaments at the top of the left-side menu. The reproductive organs and the developing fetus are supported by ligaments in the pelvis. Locate the following ligaments: Anterior sacroiliac ligaments Posterior sacroiliac ligaments Sacrotuberous ligaments Sacrospinous ligaments Iliolumbar ligaments Endopelvic fascia Which of these is the only one that is not paired? Cardinal ligaments Pubocervical fascia Uterosacral ligaments Obturator membranes Inguinal ligaments Perineal membrane
6 B. Go to Module 49.3 Ovaries. Explore the model and read the definitions. Uterus Right ovary Vagina Left ovary 1. Review the term for ovaries . The ovaries are the female primary sex organs or ______________________________. 2. Look at the way the ovaries are connected to the uterus . The ovaries are connected to the uterus by the ______________________________ ligament.
