Cervix-Inferior narrow section that opens into the vagina.
Uterus-Pathway for sperm deposited in the vagina to reach the uterine tubes.
Endometrium-The inner layer of the uterus.
Myometrium- The middle layer of the uterus.
Fallopian tubes-Provide a route for sperm to reach an ovum.
Ovaries-Develop into a mature ova after fertilization and store estrogen.
Infundibulum-
Adnexa-Pertaining to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and infundibulum.

Female reproductive system ligaments
Broad-Double folds of peritoneum attaching the uterus.
Round-Bands of fibrous connective tissue between the layers of the broad ligament.
Cardinal-Located inferior to the base of the broad ligaments.
Uterosacral-Peritoneum that lies on either side of the rectum and connects the uterus to the sacrum.
Ovarian suspensory-Peritoneum extends from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis.
Neoplastic Ovarian Tumor
Neoplastic Ovarian Tumor
Cancer of the ovaries is mostly asymptomatic, and symptoms include increased abdominal growth, peritoneal irritation, and increased abdominal girth.
Leiomyoma (Fibroid)
Leiomyoma (Fibroid)
Benign smooth muscle tumors. The majority of cases is asymptomatic, and symptoms include infertility, lower abdominal pain, and menorrhagia.
