FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

01. FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
OVARIES
The ovaries are two oval-shaped
organs that lie to the
upper right
and left of the
uterus.
They produce, store, and
release eggs into the
fallopian tubes in the
process called ovulation (av-
FALLOPIAN TUBES
One of two long, slender tubes that
connect the ovaries to the uterus. Eggs
pass from the ovaries, through the
fallopian tubes, to the uterus.
In the female
reproductive tract, there
is one ovary and one
fallopian tube on each
side of the uterus.
UTERUS
The hollow, pear-shaped organ in a
woman's pelvis. The uterus is
where a fetus
(unborn baby)
develops and
grows. Also
called womb
VAGINA
The vagina is where the lining
of the uterus is shed during
menstruation, where
penetration can occur during
sex and where a baby
descends during childbirth.
VAGINA
The vagina is a closed
muscular canal that
extends from the outside
of the female genital area
(vulva) to the neck of the
uterus (cervix).

02. MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Our human body has a complex
design. As we grow older, our body
changes in so many ways. Many
changes occur during our
adolescence (age 10-19).

The changes in males are very


different from those in females.
One of these differences is that
At this stage, the changes that are
common to both sexes include the
development of pubic hair and
production of gametes or sex cells.
Our ability to reproduce begins at
adolescence, too. The sex hormones
cause these changes, including the
events that happen during the
menstrual cycle and those leading to
Menstruation is a sign that a girl
is capable of producing offspring.

The menstrual cycle is a series of


changes during which an egg
matures, and the uterus is prepared
for possible pregnancy. It entails
biological feedback system that
regulates the activities of the
structures involved in the processes.
The menstrual cycle is influenced
by the endocrine system
through the complex interaction of
the hypothalamus, pituitary
and gonads (reproductive or
sex organs, specifically the
ovaries and testes).
The length of the
menstrual cycle varies
from woman to woman
but the average cycle
is 28 days.
Figure 2, below, summarizes the
changes in the uterus and the events
in a woman’s monthly period.

The menstrual cycle can be


divided into two parts: the
follicular phase and the
luteal phase.
FOLLICULAR PHASE
The follicular phase starts on day 1
of menstruation and ends with ovulation
(day 14). The brain (anterior pituitary)
sends the Follicle Stimulating
Hormone (FSH) to the ovaries to signal
follicles to grow and mature. These
follicles produce estrogen.
Estrogen acts on the uterus to
stimulate the thickening of the
endometrium (uterine lining). When
estrogen peaks, it signals the brain
to release Luteinizing Hormone
(LH). This triggers ovulation.
OVULATION

Ovulation occurs mid-cycle, around


two weeks or so before menstruation
starts. On this day, the mature egg
from the follicle travels from the ovary
down to the fallopian tube and into the
uterus.
At any time during the egg’s
journey, sperm can fertilize it. If
fertilization does not occur during
this phase, the egg continues to
the uterus and dies within 6 to
24 hours.
LUTEAL PHASE

The luteal phase includes


the day after ovulation to
the day before your next
period.
LUTEAL PHASE
During the luteal phase, LH and
FSH levels decrease. Once it
releases its egg, the empty
follicle develops into a new
structure called the corpus
luteum which produces
progesterone.
If the egg isn't fertilized, the
corpus luteum degenerates
and estrogen level
decreases.
The hormonal changes of this phase
are associated with symptoms of
premenstrual syndrome (PMS) such
as pimples, headaches, fatigue,
dizziness, mood changes, bloating,
pain, swelling of the breasts, and
food cravings.
The menstrual cycle can continue in a
woman for about 40 years stopping
temporarily during pregnancy and
resumes after giving birth.

Some pain, cramping, and discomfort


during menstrual periods is normal.
Excessive pain that causes you to miss
work or school must be given medical
attention.
