Structure of female genital organs

Consider the structure of female genital organs. They are divided into external and internal. Let us dwell in more detail on the external genitalia.

Lobok - this is an eminence in the lower abdomen, which in the pubertal period is covered with hair. Below the pubis are located cracks, or, as they are also called, large labia. In the thickness of their hidden labia minora, ending with the vestibule vestibule. This place is equipped with a glandular tissue, which, during sexual intercourse, gives off lubrication for friction.

In the place of the upper articulation, you can see the clitoris. It is a small tubercle of round form, which is equipped with a large number of nerves and vessels. During sexual intercourse in a state of excitation, it has the ability to increase. The clitoris is considered to be the most sensitive erogenous zone of the woman's body.

The hymen is a mucous membrane, equipped with a muscle tissue, which in some places is collected in certain bundles. The number of them depends on the extensibility of the hymen, as well as its density. As a result of the first sexual contact, the hymen deprives itself of its integrity, resulting in a slight discharge of blood. The process of rupture of the hymen is accompanied by a minor pain. The structure of the hymen is such that an extraordinarily elastic gap from the nature can not break off during sexual intercourse, but it can be damaged only during childbirth. As a pathology, a complete vaginal infection is considered - surgical intervention may be necessary here.

The structure of female genital organs, hidden inside the body, has been studied by physicians for a long time and it is now possible to say exactly which body is responsible for which functions. The vagina is a muscular tube that reaches the length of an adult woman of twelve centimeters. It originates from the hymen and ends in the cervix. The vagina from the inside is covered with a mucous tissue, which has a large number of folds. This structure of the vagina ensures the integrity of this organ during childbirth.

The uterus has a slightly elongated shape, which at one end is more round and broad, toward the second end it narrows slightly. Uterus in length can reach eight centimeters. The widest part of the body is called the body of the uterus. The lower part, narrower, forms the cervix. It is the womb that is the place where the fetal egg is implanted , and subsequently the fetus develops.

In the process of passage and introduction of the fetal egg, a considerable role is played by the fallopian tubes. They originate in the upper part of the uterus and end in the abdominal cavity, slightly widening at the end. An important point is the process of fertilization of the egg. This process also occurs in the expanded part of the fallopian tubes. And since the muscles of the fallopian tubes actively contract, they ensure unimpeded movement of the fertilized egg towards the uterus. If the fetal egg lingers in the fallopian tubes, then an ectopic, or, as it is called, tubal pregnancy may occur .

Important functions in the body of a woman perform the ovaries. In them, follicles mature, ovulation.

The structure of the female genital organs ensures normal course of pregnancy and fetal development. The uterus protects and protects the fetus from external factors. At the end of pregnancy, when the fetus finally ripens and can exist without the support of the mother's body, the uterus begins to actively contract and expel the fetus. This is how a child is born.

If you start to study closely the structure of the female genital organs, then you will understand that they are unique. Only in the female body can two hearts beat and there is an organ that exists temporarily (the placenta). Nature provides a cycle of purification in order to produce a healthy offspring.
