Female

You can remember this by just knowing your left and rights and the middle part is the body

broad ligament

a flat sheet of peritoneum, associated with the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It extends from the lateral pelvic walls on both sides, and folds over the internal female genitalia, covering their surface anteriorly and posteriorly.

Study tip:

B: bundle (ovarian neurovascular bundle)
R: round ligament.
O: ovarian ligament.
A: artifacts (vestigial structures)
D: duct (oviduct)

Ovaries

small, oval-shaped glands located on either side of your uterus. They produce and store your eggs (also called ovum) and make hormones that control your menstrual cycle and pregnancy

-Antral Follicles- small follicles (about 2-9 mm in diameter) that we can see – and measure and count – with ultrasound

Oviduct

the tube through which an ovum or egg passes from an ovary.

Uterus

a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum.

Carnucles-benign fleshy outgrowth of the posterior urethral meatus.

Uterine Horns- the points in the upper uterus where the fallopian tubes exit to meet the ovaries.

Uterine Body- a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum.

Cervix

a passage that allows fluids to flow inside and out of your uterus. It's also a powerful gatekeeper that can open and close in ways that make pregnancy and childbirth possible.

Vagina

: provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period. receives the penis during sexual intercourse and holds the sperm until they pass into the uterus. provides a passageway for childbirth.

Study tip: If you need a study tip to remember vagina I do not know how to help you.

Vula

acts as the gate for the uterus or womb and provides protection by opening and closing of the lips of the vulva – labia majora and minora.

Study tip: Vula is a word close to vault so you can remember it is the gate protecting the uterus because a vault is a gate protecting money.
