Document Summary

Fatty layer overlying pubic symphysis: perineum. 4 corners are: symphysis, coccyx and 2 ischial tuberosities: labia majora and minora, clitoral hood and clitoris, vestibule, urethral opening o. See slide 10 for diagram: deep. Primary: single layer of cells around oocyte. Late secondary: fluid filled spaces between granulosa cell. Tertiary: when fluid filled cavities coalesce to form an fluid filled sac called antrum o, after the egg has been ejected, a yellow body called a corpus luteum is formed which eventually degenerates, ducts, fallopian tubes. ~10 cm long and extends into upper portion of uterus via a constricted region called an isthmus. Tube expands wider when area is closer to ovaries, called ampulla (site of fertilization, specifically) Part of the tube closest to ovaries is called infundibulum and has finger- like cilia called fimbriae that drape over ovaries: stiffen and sweep during ovulation to propel oocyte into the tube.
