Question
Chapter 16, Problem 26SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The fact that all the ovulated eggs end up in the peritoneal cavity of the female.
Introduction:
The female reproductive tract consists of a duct system and that includes uterine tubes. Uterine tubes are commonly known as fallopian tubes and it forms the first part of the duct system. The fallopian tubes receive the oocytes from the ovary and serve as a site for fertilization.

a) What is the function of the stereocilia exhibited by the epithelial cells of the mucosa of the epididymis?
b) Hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus. It may or may not be accompanied by a salpingo-oophorectomy, removal of the uterine tubes and ovaries. Why would it be an advantage to leave the ovaries intact?
c) What is the function of the cavernous bodies in the penis?
The uterine cycle can be divided into three continuous phases. Starting from the first day of the cycle, their order is (a) menstrual, proliferative, secretory; (b) menstrual, secretory, proliferative; (c) secretory, menstrual, proliferative; (d) proliferative, menstrual, secretory; (e) proliferative, secretory, menstrual.
Oocytes are ovulated into the peritoneal cavity and yet women do get pregnant. What action of the uterine tubes helps to direct the oocytes into the woman’s duct system?

(Oviducts) where fertilization occurs. 3.) innermost lining of the uterus where embryo implants and develop 4.)(womb) Where the embryo develops. 5.)Projection of uterus into the vagina; leads to the uterus. 6.) main entrance to the female reproductive tract. 7.) the homologue of he penis in females.arrow_forwardWhy do benign ovarian cysts develop in women who ovulate?arrow_forwardAll of the following are characteristics of the uterine endometrium presented in the slide in the normal menstrual cycle EXCEPT a.
