One egg is the size of a typewriter dot!

6. Ovary 5. ________= the release of a mature egg (ovum)from the ovary.
Ovulation
6. An egg will survive for _____hours once it is released from the ovary 24

7. Ovulation =Egg Being Released From Ovary.

8. Fallopian Tubes (two)
7. Serves as a passageway for the ovum(egg) from the ovary to the uterus. 8. Inside the fallopian tubes, tiny hairs called ______push (move) the egg toward the uterus. Cilia

9. Fallopian Tubes
9. Fimbria –Finger-like extensions at the ends of the Fallopian Tubes.
10. Fertilization takes place in the Fallopian Tubes.
11. Fertilization = is the union of the egg & sperm.
Egg and Sperm Unite!

10. Uterus
What is another name for the Uterus? Womb 12. Uterus is a hollow, muscular, pear shaped organ located above and behind the bladder. 13. The fertilized egg will implant itself the uterus to grow into a baby during the nine months of pregnancy.

13. Uterus
14. The Uterus has layers of tissue called the Endometrium (the inner lining)
It has a rich supply of blood to protect and nourish the fetus!
CERVIX
15. Cervix =the narrow base of the uterus which opens up into the vagina.
16. The Cervix will Dilate (open or expand) to allow the baby to exit during child birth.
**Pin size opening**

15. The picture above to the left is an inflamed endometrium.
Abnormal menstrual periods may have a variety of causes, such as endometrial hyperplasia.

If you have a question or concern please RAISE your hand!
This is an independent activity!

18. Statement Scramble
Embryo will now connect to endometrium and grow for nine months of pregnancy in uterus
Ovulation occurs: egg is released from ovary into fallopian tube
Uterus lining thickens preparing for pregnancy or house fertilized egg
Egg and sperm unite in fallopian tube also known as fertilization
Egg is now fertilized and considered an embryo
Sperm is ejaculated into the vaginal canal 6 1 3 4 5 2

19. IF A FEMALE DOES NOT GET PREGNANT…
If egg is not fertilized signals are sent to the brain of “no pregnancy” and body gets ready for menstrual cycle
Female having symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)
Uterine lining will shed and excrete from within the body along with unfertilized egg
A menstrual period will take place for 4-8 days

2. Vagina
3. Anus
29. Men have 2 openings??
2. Anus

32. External Genitalia

33. External Genitalia
30. Top (smaller) = Urethral opening Bottom = Vaginal opening 31. Mons Pubis- soft fatty tissue on top of the pubic bone. 32. It protects the females internal organs. It becomes covered with pubic hair during puberty.

34. Labia=Lip Majora=Larger Labia=Lip Minora=Smaller
33. Labia Majora- (Outer Labia)-two outer folds of skin which protects the urethra and vagina.
Labia=Lip Majora=Larger
34. Labia Minora- (Inner Labia)-two thinner folds of skin which are located under the labia majora. It contains numerous nerve endings/it forms a hood over the clitoris.
Labia=Lip Minora=Smaller

35. 35. Uretha -Urine is released from the bladder through this tube
36. The Clitoris is located within the Labia Minora.
Contains many nerve endings and blood vessels/ it is similar to the male’s penis in that it will become erect due to sexual excitement.
It fills with blood & becomes erect.

36. 37. Hymen- thin membrane (sheet of skin) which may partially covers the vaginal opening. It can be broken during exercise or sexual intercourse. 38. Orgasm = the climax of sexual excitement. Female can have one or several orgasms during sexual intercourse, whereas the male can have only one.
