EVERYTHING
oviducts - ✔️✔️fallopian tube; two bilateral tubes that lead from the uterus toward the
ovaries, easy to get blocked by STDs, site of fertilization of female ovum
cervix - ✔️✔️lowermost, narrow portion of the uterus that connects with the vagina,
cartilage covered with tissue, pencil-thin cavity (function and description)
mons - ✔️✔️fatty area above vaginal opening with pubic hair with nerves for sexual
stimulation
labia majora - ✔️✔️major lips, covers vaginal opening
labia minora - ✔️✔️inside lips, become red and engorged when sexually excited
clitoral hood - ✔️✔️visible flap of skin that covers clitoris
clitoris (glans and shaft) - ✔️✔️glans= outside part (pearl) that grows harder when
excited, shaft= runs back underneath skin
vaginal opening - ✔️✔️Called introitus, stretches
hymen - ✔️✔️membrane, usually perforated or incomplete, that covers the opening of
the vagina (may be torn by sex or other means)
cervix - ✔️✔️lowermost, narrow portion of the uterus that connects with the vagina,
cartilage covered with tissue, pencil-thin cavity (function and description)
perineum - ✔️✔️skin between vulva or scrotum and anus, hairless, sexually sensitive,
protection from external genitalia infection
pelvic floor muscle - ✔️✔️attached to top of pubic bone, contracts for orgasm
vagina - ✔️✔️muscular tube that expands and contracts during intercourse
g-spot - ✔️✔️area of increased erotic sensitivity on or deep withing front wall of the
vagina
uterus - ✔️✔️where the baby grows, size changes with hormones and age
,endometrium - ✔️✔️inner layer of uterus that sheds for menstruation (regrows every
cycle)
myometrium - ✔️✔️muscles around uterus (contracts during period and birth)
perimetrium - ✔️✔️outer covering of the uterus to protect fetus during pregnancy
cilia - ✔️✔️hairlike structure inside of oviducts that move eggs down fallopian tube
fimbria - ✔️✔️end of fallopian tube (oviduct), finger like structure has cilia, helps ovum
to find way into oviduct
ovaries - ✔️✔️organ that produces eggs and secretes sex hormone
follicle - ✔️✔️fluid-filled sac that contains an egg, with its supporting cells, within the
ovary
ovum/ova - ✔️✔️mature female eggs prior to or immediately after fertility (by sperm)
breasts - ✔️✔️consists mainly of fat and has glandular tissue, which produces milk.
has erotic and reproductive significance
nipples - ✔️✔️has duct openings to lobes of alveoli where milk is produced and stored
areola - ✔️✔️circular patch of darker skin with nipple
penis - ✔️✔️The male sexual organ.
glans penis - ✔️✔️The most sensitive end of the penis. It is similar to the clitoris. Found
at the tip of the penis.
foreskin - ✔️✔️The smooth muscle tissue, skin, and etc. that surrounds and protects
the glans penis.
smegma - ✔️✔️White or yellow substance found beneath the foreskin of the penis, in
males, and the folds of skin around the clitoris, in females.
cavernous bodies - ✔️✔️Erectile tissue that makes up the penis and clitoris. Lies side
by side and accounts for the bulk of the penis's erectile capacity
spongy body - ✔️✔️Erectile tissue that goes alongside the corpora cavernosa.
, urethra - ✔️✔️Where urine and semen come out of. Connects from the bladder to the
opening of the penis. Located between the vaginal opening and clitoris in a female.
root of penis (crura & bulb) - ✔️✔️Cavernous muscles and anchors the penis onto the
body. (pubic bone) Includes the cavernous and spongy bodies
corona - ✔️✔️A part of the glans penis that forms a rounded projecting border.
frenulum - ✔️✔️Found on the underside of the penis. Like the connective tissue under
the tongue, it connects the glans penis to the foreskin.
scrotum - ✔️✔️The sack that holds the testes found behind the penis.
testicles - ✔️✔️The male gonad, one of the two which produces sperm and secretes
sex hormones.
seminiferous tubules - ✔️✔️Microscopic tubules within the testicles. Tube like
structure. Where sperm is produced.
interstitial cells - ✔️✔️Cells found between seminiferous tubules that secrete
hormones.
sperm - ✔️✔️The male gamete that is made in the testicle.
epididymis - ✔️✔️There are two of these, one above and one behind the testicles.
Looks like a mullet that wraps around the testes. This is where sperm is stored and
matured.
vas deferens - ✔️✔️Two bilateral ducts that carry sperm from the epididymis to the
ejaculatory ducts
ejaculatory ducts - ✔️✔️Formed by the junction of the vas deferens and the seminal
vesicles. It empties into the urethra in the prostate.
prostate gland - ✔️✔️A gland located at the base of the bladder that surrounds the
urethra. Secretions are part of semen
seminal vesicles - ✔️✔️Two glands found on both sides of the prostate and behind the
bladder. They add their secretions to semen
bulbourethral glands/cowper's gland - ✔️✔️Two small glands near the root of the penis
where "pre-cum" can be found at the urethral opening during sexual arousal before
ejaculation. secretions can help neutralize acidic envioronments of man's urethra and
woman's vagina
