Female Reproductive a. Reproductive Organs in Women 1. Ovaries The ovaries or ovaries are shaped like eggs and come in pairs. The ovaries are protected by a hard capsule and contain follicles. Each follicle contains one egg cell, whose function is to provide food and protect the developing egg cell ripe. 2. Uterus Uterus are thick and as a muscular organ that can expand during pregnancy. 3. Vagina The vagina functions as the birth canal through which the baby passes at birth and also functions as a site for copulation. b. Reproductive Tract The female reproductive tract functions as a pathway for egg cells to the uterus (womb) called oviducts or Fallopian tubes. At the base there is a funnel-like part called the infundulum which has fringes (fimbrae). c. Female External Reproductive Organs 1. The vulva is the outermost part of the female genital organ which is shaped like a slit 2. Pubic bone (mons pubis), the upper and outer part of the vulva which is composed of fatty tissue. During puberty, this part grows a lot of hair 3. Large lips (labia majora), a pair of folds below the mons pubis 4. Small lips (labia minora) The inner part of the labia majora has glandular folds, thin, not fatty, and numbered in a pair. The function of these two parts is to protect the vagina 5. The clitoris is a small protrusion that contains many sensory nerve endings so it is very sensitive. Like the male penis, the clitoris will react when stimulated (contains a lot of erectile tissue) 6. Orificium erethrae, opening of the urinary tract 7. The hymen or hymen is the part that surrounds the tip of the vagina, which is lined with mucosa and contains many blood vessels Basic Processes of Development The following are five basic processes at the cellular level, namely: 1. Growth namely the increase in cell mass (size and number of cells) 2. Differentiation is a process that produces cells that are specialized (have carried out specific biosynthesis) 3. Cellular interaction namely the mutual influence between one cell or group of cells and another cell or group of cells 4. Movement namely changes in the position of cells or tissues (morphogenetic movement) 5. Metabolism is the process of producing (source) and using energy, and is a basic need for life and developmen DEVELOPMENT OF THE FETUS IN THE FUTURE The stages of human development are explained in detail in the image below. The image below explains the stages of human development into five stages, namely: 1. Gametogenesis stage the formation of male and female gametes or the conversion of sperm and egg germ cells 2. 1st week development stage the process of ovulation until implantation 3. 2nd week development stage the formation of the bilaminar germ disc (two-layer embryo) occurs 4. Developmental stage weeks 3 to 8 also called the embryonic period, where the formation of body systems occurs 5. The development stage of the 3rd month until birth is the fetal period and the role of the placenta in human development.
