OBJECTIVES To accurately be able to identify the

organs of the female reproductive system.

To accurately be able to describe the functions of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

To be able to define myometrium, endometrium, and perimetrium.

FUNCTIONS OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Produce the eggs (ova) for ovulation Conception- unites the egg and sperm Menstruation- release of unfertilized

eggs Produces sex hormones necessary to

maintain the system Provide a safe environment for the fetus

9 months

MAJOR ORGANS OF THE FEMALE ANATOMY

Ovaries Primary Organs of a female Produce eggs for fertilization by male sperm Consists of immature eggs called oocyteUterine (Fallopian) Tubes Receive the ovulated oocyte & make a spot for

fertilizationUterus (Womb) Located in the pelvis, between bladder and rectum Function: to receive, retain, and nourish fertilized eggs. Composed of 3 layers

Endometrium-fertilized eggs burrow into this wall Myometrium-plays active role during child birth Perimetrium-outermost serous layer of uterus

Vagina Called the birth Canal (provides passage for delivery of

baby) Interaction with other organs

Recieves the penis(and semen) during sexual intercourseFact: Distal end of vagina is partially closed by the hymen.

Tends to bleed when ruptured during 1st sexual intercourse.

GONORRHEA Description:

Gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea.

Can be spread by contact with the mouth, vagina, penis, or anus.

The bacteria grow in warm, moist areas of the body. In women, the bacteria may be found in the fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix. The bacteria can even grow in the eyes.

More than 700,000 people in the United States get gonorrhea every year

Gonorrhea is more common in large cities, and populations with lower overall levels of education and people with lower socioeconomic status.

GONORRHEA CONT. Treatment:

A single shot of ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 125 mg or a single dose of cefixime 400 mg taken by mouth are currently the recommended antibiotic treatment

Azithromycin (Zithromax) 2g in a single dose may be used for people who have severe allergic reactions to ceftriaxone, cefixime, or penicillin.

Mode Of Action:Have multiple sexual

partners Do not use a

condom during sex Have a drug

addiction

CERVICAL CANCER Description:

Located in cervix   3rd most common in women Development is very slow Begins at dysplasia

Mode of Action: Having sex at an early age Multiple sexual partners Participation in high-risk

sexual activities Whose mothers took the

drug DES (diethylstilbestrol)

CERVICAL CANCER CONT. Symptoms:

Pain during urination

Unusual heavy discharge

Bleeding after sexual intercourse

SEX: ALONG CAME A SPERM: MALE & FEMALE INTERACTION

Sexual Intercourse

Gametes develop in fallopian tubes

Morula

Blastocyst

Implantation

PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE Infection of the uterus and fallopian

tubes Caused by not treated other STDS such

as gonorrhea and chlamydia Damages the tissues of uterus and

ovaries Can cause infertility and/or ectopic

pregnancy Symptoms are abdominal pain, fever,

painful intercourse, vaginal odor, painful urination, or maybe even nothing!

CARING FOR THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

No Smoking!!!

No glove, no love!!!

GYNO checkup…

Get the treatment..please

Maintaining proper hygiene

SMOKING+ THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Damages your ovaries

Interferes w/ production of estrogen

Makes your eggs prone to genetic abnormalities

PRACTICE SAFE SEX Some diseases

can render you infertile

Most diseases primarily have no symptoms

GET REGULAR GYNO CHECKUPS

Your doctor will check the size and shape of your uterus and ovaries and screen you for diseases

PROPER HYGIENE Avoid vaginal

infections…which can result in damage to your uterus if left untreated.

Precautions include changing tampons regularly, cleaning yourself properly after using the toilet, taking care of genital piercings and staying out of contaminated water.

OVARIAN CANCER SYMPTOMS

Bloating

Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly

Pelvic or abdominal pain

OVARIAN CANCER SYMPTOMS: COMMON

AMONG NON-CANCER WOMEN Abnormal menstrual cycles Sense of pelvic heaviness Swollen abdomen or belly Unexplained back pain that worsens

over time Digestive symptoms:

Constipation Increased gas Lack of appetite Nausea and vomiting

TREATMENT FOR OVARIAN CANCER

Surgery involves:Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy)

Removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes (bilateral salpigophorectomy)

Partial or complete removal of the omentum, fatty layer that covers and pads organs in the abdomen

Examination

Biopsy or removal of lymph nodes

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT OVARIAN CANCER

5th most common cancer among women Cause is unknown… The more children a woman has and the

earlier in life she gives birth, the lower her risk for ovarian cancer.

Older women are at highest risk… 2/3 of deaths from ovarian cancer occur

in women ages 55+ About 25% of ovarian cancer deaths

occur in women ages 35-54

COMPLICATIONS OF OVARIAN CANCER Spread of the cancer to other organs

Loss of organ function

Fluid in the abdomen

Blockage of the intestines
