[pic]

Fill in the name of the appropriate part – use choices from above:

1. Site of fertilization

2. Create current to carry ovulated oocyte into infundibulum

3. Name of organ that receives, retains, & nourishes fertilized egg

4. Site of ovulation – produces oocyte and estrogen

5. specific site of actual implantation

6. Contracting layer of muscle

7. erects during sexual stimulation

8. primary female reproductive organ

9. Receives penis – aka. Birth canal

Breast Anatomy (same in men & women – hormones cause development of milk & difference in size)

Label the breast then color the milk producing structures BLUE and the fatty tissue YELLOW

A. Lactiferous duct

B. Areola

C. Nipple

D. Alveolar glands

[pic]

Ovarian Structure

Label the ovary then color the structure that produces estrogen RED and the structure that produces progesterone GREEN.

A. Corpus luteum

B. Graafian follicles

C. Ovulation

D. Primary follicles

E. Ruptured follicle

F. Secondary oocyte

G. Fluid filled antrum

Use the diagram on the preceding page to answer the questions.

1. The release of what 3 hormones triggers ovulation?

2. Progesterone is produced by what ovarian structure?

3. What layer of the uterus sheds off to produce the menstrual flow?

4. What happens to all hormone levels during the menstrual flow?

5. What is the hormone that causes the uterine lining to thicken?

Mammary Glands

1. Men & Women both have the same breast structures present. So what causes women to be able to nurse babies & have larger breasts when men can’t?

2. How prevalent is breast cancer in women?
