Anatomy of the Female Genital Organs
Female genital organs are divided into
A- Internal Genital organs:-
1- Vagina 2-Uterus 3-Ovaries
B- External Genital organs:-
1- Mons pubis 2-Labia majora 3-Labia minora 4-clitors 5-and vaginal vestibule.
External Genital organs:-
1- Mons pubis:-
• Rounded eminence infront of (pubic Symphysis)
• Formed subcutaneous fat
• At puberty it become hairy
2- Labia Majora:-
• two bulky folds of skin enclose the Pudendal Cleft
• extend from the mons pubis to the perineal body
• they covered with coarse hair
3- Labia Minora:-
• two flat fold of skin
• lie medial and deep to labia majora
• connected infront and behind the clitoris by thin folds called prepuce and frenulum respectively
• posteriorly they fuse infront perineum
4- viginal Vestibule:-
• is the cleft between the labia minora
• receives the vaginal orifice (Introitus) the urethral orifice and the duct of greater vestibular (Bartholin) glands
• The vagina is normally closed by the hymen in virgin (before the first sexual intercourse).
5- Clitoris:-
• homologous with the penis (2.5cm) long
• consists of two cylinders of erectile tissues called corpora cavernous
• has prepuce and gland clitoris
• rich blood supply.
Internal Genital organs:-
1- Vagina:-
• female organ of copulation
• fibro muscular tube (7.5cm )in long and (4cm)in wide
• extends from the uterine cervix above to the hymen below
• it’s posterior wall is longer than it’s anterior wall
• related anteriorly to the base of bladder and urethra
• posteriorly related to recto-uterine pouch rectum and perineal body
2- Uterine tube:-
• muscular tube (10cm long)
• extends from the junction of the fundus and body of uterus to the lateral wall of the pelvis
• consists 4parts:- 1-Intramural part 2-Isthmus 3-ampulla 4-and infundibulum.
3- Ovaries:-
• in the young female adult
• falttend ovoid organ (3X2X1cm)(HxWxDcm).
• Situated in the lateral wall of the true pelvis
• Attached by the ligament of uters
• Divided into an outer cortex and inner medulla
• The cortex consists of fibrous tissues separating the developing (Graafian) follicle
• The medulla is vascular layer contain:-
-Blood Vessels -Nerves –and lymphatics.
