Learning Objectives

• To learn the different structures and
  nomenclatures for the parts of the female
  reproductive system.
• To learn the basic functions for the different
  parts of the tract and how they work together.

• Muscle contractions
• Transport sperm
• Expel fetus and placenta
• Absorption and phagocytosis
• Partially prepares sperm for fertilization
• capacitation
• Provides environment for embryo and fetal growth
• Hormone production
• Prostaglandin F2a production

Functions of the Cervix

• Transport of sperm
• Barrier to sperm (species dependent)
• Reservoir for sperm
• Blocking bacterial invasion during pregnancy
• Birth canal

45
COW
Uterine Body

• Cervix is composed of thick connective tissue

• Mucus is secreted near the time of breeding and
  ovulation.

Phenomena For Fertility

• vagina dentata - a vagina with teeth
• female bedbug - no vagina
• hysterectomy - if woman went to long without
  becoming pregnant then uterus would wonder in
  body causing hysteria and other distresses
• hyena - clitoris is very large and looks like the
  male penis female also has a false scrotum
  (labia) female is the dominate sex and produces
  more testosterone than male
