Acb 3309 lecture 17 (39) - female reproductive system ovary. Sagittal section through the female reproductive anatomy zone. Looking down the middle and to the side. External genitalia: labia minora &labia majora, closing lips that are going to protect the vaginal canal from debris or bacteria from. Toward the top of the vagina, we have the clitoris getting in there: female stimulatory organ, rest against the symphysis pubic (pubic bone) below it, we have the opening to the urethra. Urethra is draining all of the urine that will collect in the bladder (triangular shaped muscles. Anal canal = continuation of the digestive tract: where stool collects and is secreted. Sitting below the tubes, we have the ovaries. The ovaries are anchored to the uterine body via ovarian ligament. Holding the ovaries from a superior aspect, is the suspensory ligament: suspensory ligament comes in and anchors the ovary upward brings in ovarian vessels (ovarian arteries and veins)
