the passageway of the ovum from the ovaries to the uterus.

- Fallopian Tube

It is a tough but elastic semicircle of tissue that covers the opening of the vagina in childhood.

- Hymen

An organ of intercourse that extends from the cervix of the uterus to the external vulva.

- Vagina

The primary sexual organ of males.

- Penis

It functions to nourish and house the fertilized egg until the unborn child is ready to be delivered.

- Uterus

A male reproductive gland that is homologous to the female ovary. Its function are to produce both
sperm and androgens, primary testosterone. Another name is gonads.

- Testes

The muscle layer of the uterus that holds the internal cervix os closed during pregnancy to prevent
preterm birth.

- Myometrium

It serves as the storage area for the sperm cells.

- Epididymis

The roof of the uterine cavity where fertilized egg implants. This grows to make room for the growing
fetus

- Fundus

The innermost lining layer of the uterus, and functions to maintain the patency of the uterine cavity.
During the menstrual cycle or estrous cycle, this grows to a thick, blood vessel-rich, glandular tissue
layer.

- Endometrium

Part of the male reproductive system that contains the external spermatic fascia, testes, epididymis, and
ductus deferens. This is used to regulate the temperature of the testes.

- Scrotum

The phase in which the endometrium becomes pale and arteries constrict due to lower hormone release
by the disintegrating corpus luteum. It is when menstruation begins.

- Ischemic Phase
The portion that can be palpated abdominally to determine the amount of uterine growth occurring
during pregnancy

- Fundus

A condition in which a woman has infrequent menstrual periods or scanty menstruation

- Oligomenorrhea

During this phase the endometrial lining is shed, estrogen levels are low, and cervical mucus is scanty,
thick, and opaque

- Menstrual Phase

It carries sperm from the epididymis through the inguinal canal into the abdominal cavity.

- Vas Deferens

The absence of menstrual flow

- Amenorrhea

Part of the brain which secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Especially when estrogen
levels are low.

- Hypothalamus

This happens when a single sperm penetrates the egg and fuses together. This is so-called the
fertilization stage.

- Sperm Penetration

It is the final stage and natural objective of male sexual stimulation, wherein the discharge of semen
happens.

- Ejaculation

It produces, mature, and discharge ova or egg cells. Responsible to produce hormones estrogen and
progesterone.

- Ovaries

Abnormally heavy and prolonged menstruation

- Menorrhagia

This widens during childbirth to allow for the passage of the baby. It also allows for the passage of
menstrual fluid from the uterus, and sperm needs to travel through the cervix in order to reach the
uterus.

- Cervix

The area where fertilization takes place.

- Ampulla
It occurs after the menstrual phase during a period of tissue regeneration, in which the endometrium
must repair itself and thicken.

- Proliferative Phase

Also known as the preovulatory phase or proliferative phase

- Follicular Phase

The first mitotic division when fertilization of human oocyt or egg by a human sperm is complete.

- Zygote

The second half of the menstrual cycle after ovulation in which the corpus luteum secretes progesterone
which prepares the endometrium for the implantation of embryo. If fertilization does not occur then
menstrual flow.

- Luteal Phase

They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina and are homologous to bulbourethral glands in males. It is
also called vulvovaginal Glands.

- Bartholin`s Glands
