DEFINITION

External female genital organs have two functions, namely as the entrance of sperm into the woman’s body and as the protector of the genital organs from infectious organisms. asam urat

Female genital tract has a hole in touch with the outside world, so that disease-causing microorganisms can enter and cause infection of the womb. These microorganisms are usually transmitted through sexual contact.

Genital organs in forming a pathway (the genital tract), which consists of:

# Ovary (ovarian), produce eggs

# Fallopian tubes (ovidak), site of fertilization

# Rahim (uterus), where the development of the embryo into a fetus

# The vagina is the birth canal.

EXTERNAL SEX ORGANS

External genital organs (vulva) is limited by the labium major (equal to the scrotum in men). Labium major consists of sweat glands and sebaceous glands (oil producing); after puberty, major labium be overgrown with hair. cara menghilangkan bekas jerawat

Labium minor is located right next to the inside of the labium major and around the vaginal opening and urethra.

The hole in the vagina called the introitus and half-moon shaped area behind the introitus called forset.

If there is a stimulus, from a small channel in addition to introitus will discharge (mucus) produced by the gland Bartolin.

The urethra is located in front of the vagina and is the hole where the discharge of urine from the bladder.

Left and right labium minora meet at the front and form a clitoris, which is a small protrusion that is very sensitive (the same as the penis in men).

The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin called the prepuce (the same as the skin on the tip of the penis depat men).

The clitoris is very sensitive to stimulation and can become erect.

Labium major left and right meet in the back forming the perineum, which is a network fibromuskuler between vagina and anus.

Skin that wraps the perineum and labium mayo together with the skin on other body parts, which is thick and dry and could form the scales. While the membrane on the labium minor and the vagina is a mucous membrane, a layer which has the same structure as the skin, but the surface remains moist because of fluid from blood vessels in deeper layers.

Because rich in blood vessels, then the labium minora and vagina looks pink.

Hole surrounded by a hymen vagina (hymen).

Strength in every woman’s hymen varies, because it’s the first time you had sexual intercourse, hymen can be torn or may not.

SEX ORGANS IN

Under normal circumstances, the vaginal wall behind the front and touch each other so there is no space inside the vagina unless the vagina is open (eg during the examination or during sexual intercourse).

In adult women, the vaginal cavity has a length of about 7,6-10 cm. Lower third of the vagina is a muscle that controls the center line of the vagina. Two-thirds of the vagina is located above the muscle and stretches easily.

Cervical (cervix) is located on top of vagina.

During the reproductive period, vaginal mucus layer has a wrinkled surface. Before puberty and after menopause, a layer of mucus becomes slippery.

The uterus is an organ shaped like a pear and is located on top of vagina.

The uterus is located behind the bladder and in front of the rectum, and tied by six ligaments.

The uterus is divided into two parts, the cervix and corpus (body of the uterus). Uterine cervix is â??â??the bottom that opens to the vagina. The corpus is usually bent toward the front.

During the reproductive period, the length of the corpus is 2 times the length of the cervix. The corpus is a rich network of muscles that can be widened to save the fetus. During labor, the wall muscles contract so the baby pushed out through the cervix and vagina.

A channel that allow sperm through the cervix into the uterus and menstrual blood came out. Cervix is â??â??usually a good barrier for bacteria, except during menstruation and during ovulation (release of eggs).

Channel in the cervix is â??â??the narrow, even too narrow so that during pregnancy the fetus can not pass through. But in the process of delivery of this line will be stretched so that the baby can pass through.

Cervical tract lined by mucus-producing glands. This mucus is thick and can not be penetrated by sperm but just before ovulation.

At the time of ovulation, the consistency of the mucus changes so that sperm can penetrate and pass conception (fertilization). In addition, at the time of ovulation, mucus-producing glands in the cervix are also capable of storing sperm that live for 2-3 days.

These sperm can then move up through the shaft and into the fallopian tubes to fertilize an egg. Therefore, sexual relations conducted within 1-2 days before ovulation can lead to pregnancy.

The inner layer of the corpus is called the endometrium. Every month after the menstrual cycle, the endometrium will thicken.

If no pregnancy occurs, the endometrium is released and there was bleeding. This is called the menstrual cycle.

Fallopian tube stretches from 5 to 7.6 cm from the top edge of the uterus toward the ovary.

The tip of the left and right fallopian funnel shape so that it has a larger hole so the egg fall into dalamnye when released from the ovary.

Ovaries are not attached to the fallopian tubes but hung with the help of a ligament.

The egg moves along the fallopian tube with the help of the cilia (hair shakes) and muscles in the walls of the tube.

If in the tube with the sperm meets the egg and fertilized, the fertilized egg cell begins to divide.

During four days, a small embryo continue to divide while moving slowly down the tube and into the uterus.

The embryo then attaches to the uterine wall and this process is called implantation.

Each female fetus at 20 weeks gestation have a 6-7 million oocytes (egg cells that are grown) and when born will have 2 million oocytes.

At puberty, remaining as much 300000-400000 oocytes begin maturation into an egg cell. But only about 400 eggs that are released during the reproductive period of women, usually each menstrual cycle an egg is released.

Thousands of oocytes did not undergo a process of maturation will be gradually destroyed and eventually the whole egg is lost at menopause.

Before it is released, the egg fell asleep on the folikelnya.

The egg that sleep can not perform the usual cellular repair processes, so the chances of damage to the egg cell is increasing with age women. Therefore chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders are more likely to occur in women who become pregnant at an advanced age.
