Document Summary

Anatomy and histology of the female reproductive organs. Internal genitalia consists of two ovaries, two uterine tubes, a uterus, a cervix and a vagina: age and reproductive status determine macroscopic anatomy and histology of reproductive organs. Theca cells periphery of follicle: vascularised, contains lymphatic/nerve terminals. Granulosa cells innermost layer of follicular wall: the antrum (fluid cavity) forms inside follicle (secondary) It enlarges and granulose cells in region of oocyte form cumulus oophorus. Follicle now become tertiary or graafian follice: follicular cells that remain in ruptured follicle transform into corpus luteum. The unterine tube: divided into 3 segements. 1st segment opening of uterine tube, called infundinbulum (funnel. Uterine tubes not directly attached to ovaries, still intimate relationship. Fimbrae help move ova from ovary into uterine tub. 2nd and 3rd segments of uterine tub called ampulla and. Isthmus: wall of uterine tube consist of 3 layers.
