AB  - OBJECTIVESThis  chapter  should  help  the  student  to:Name  the  internal  organs  and  external  genitalia  of  the  female  reproductive  system  and  give  the  structure,  function,  and  location  of  each.Trace  female  gamete  (ovum)  development  from  embryonic  origin  through  ovulation  and  implantation.Describe  the  structural  changes  and  the  roles  of  FSH  and  LH  at  each  step  of  follicle  maturation.Name  the  cells  that  produce  estrogen  and  progesterone.  Describe  the  conditions  under  which  these  hormones  are  produced  and  explain  their  effects  on  pituitary  FSH  and  LH  production.Identify,  in  a  micrograph  of  an  ovary,  each  follicle’s  stage  of  development,  and  the  follicles’  component  cells  and  structures.Describe  the  endometrium  in  terms  of  location,  structure,  blood  supply,  and  changes  accompanying  the  menstrual  cycle  phases;  correlate  the  endometrial  changes  with  events  in  the  ovary  and  with  changing  pituitary  and  ovarian  hormone  levels.Identify,  in  a  micrograph,  the  uterine  wall  and  its  layers  and  components,  and  the  uterine  cervix  and  its  characteristic  structural  features.Describe  the  changes  in  the  structure  and  location  of  the  conceptus  between  fertilization  and  implantation.  How  much  time  typically  elapses  between  these  events?Describe  implantation  in  terms  of  the  structural  changes  in  the  blastocyst  and  endometrium.Describe  the  placenta  in  terms  of  fetal  and  maternal  contributions,  the  steps  in  chorionic  villus  development,  and  the  layers  of  the  placental  barrier.Identify,  in  a  micrograph  of  an  implanted  blastocyst  or  embryo,  the  components  of  the  developing  embryo  and  placenta.Describe  the  vaginal  wall  in  terms  of  its  layers,  response  to  estrogen,  and  innervation.  Distinguish  the  vagina  from  the  esophagus  in  micrographs.Describe  the  vulva  in  terms  of  the  structure  and  innervation  of  its  components.Describe,  and  identify  in  a  micrograph,  the  histologic  structure  of  the  mammary  gland  and  its  components  in  the  prepubertal,  resting  adult,  pregnant,  and  lactating  states.Describe  the  synthesis  and  secretion  of  milk  and  name  the  hormones  responsible  for  breast  growth,  activation  and  maintenance  of  lactation,  and  milk  ejection.
