MV Female Full Anatomy Medical Anatomy 3D Animation
Female anatomy encompasses a variety of structures, primarily divided into internal and external components, particularly within the reproductive system. Here’s a brief overview:
Internal Anatomy
- Vagina: A muscular tube that connects the external genitals to the uterus.
- Uterus: A hollow organ where a fertilized egg can develop. It has two main parts:
- Cervix: The lower part that opens into the vagina.
- Endometrium: The inner lining that thickens during the menstrual cycle.
- Ovaries: Two almond-shaped organs that produce eggs and hormones (estrogen and progesterone).
- Fallopian Tubes: Tubes that transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus; fertilization typically occurs here.
External Anatomy
- Vulva: The external part of the female genitalia, which includes:
- Labia Majora: The outer folds of skin.
- Labia Minora: The inner folds of skin.
- Clitoris: A small, sensitive organ located at the top of the vulva, important for sexual arousal.
- Urethra: The opening through which urine exits the body, located just below the clitoris.
Additional Structures
- Breasts: Composed of glandular tissue and fat, they are involved in lactation and sexual attraction.
Functions
The female reproductive system is responsible for hormone production, menstruation, sexual activity, and reproduction.
