The structure of the female genital organs

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

The pubis is an elevation in the lower abdomen, which is covered with hair during the puberty. Below the pubis there are slits, or, as they are also called, large labia. In the thickness of their hidden small labia, ending with the vestibule of the vagina. This place is equipped with glandular tissue, which during sexual intercourse releases lubricant for friction.

In the place of the upper joint you can see the clitoris. This is a small round tubercle, which is equipped with a large number of nerves and blood vessels. During intercourse in a state of arousal, he has the ability to increase. The clitoris is considered to be the most sensitive erogenous zone of a woman's body.

The hymen is the mucous membrane, equipped with muscle tissue, which in some places is collected in some bundles. The extensibility of the hymen, as well as its density, depends on their number. As a result of the first sexual contact, the hymen loses its integrity, as a result of which there is a small amount of blood. The rupture of the hymen is accompanied by minor pain. The structure of the hymen is such that the extremely elastic gap by nature may not break during sexual contact, but only be damaged during childbirth. As a pathology, a complete vaginal contusion is considered - surgical intervention may be needed here.

The structure of the female genital organs, hidden inside the body, has been studied by doctors for a long time and now we can accurately say which organ is responsible for which functions. The vagina is a muscle tube that reaches a length in an adult woman of twelve centimeters. It originates from the hymen and ends at the cervix. The vagina is inside covered with 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 from one end is more round and wide, to the second end it narrows slightly. The uterus can reach eight centimeters in length. The widest part of the organ is called the uterine body. The lower part, narrower, forms the cervix. It is the uterus that is the place where the fetal egg penetrates , and subsequently the fetus develops.

In the process of passing and introducing the ovum, the fallopian tubes play a significant role. They originate in the upper part of the uterus and end in the abdominal cavity, expanding slightly at the end. An important point is the process of fertilization of the egg. This process occurs in the expanded part of the fallopian tubes. And since the muscles of the fallopian tubes are actively contracting, they provide unimpeded movement of the fertilized egg towards the uterus. If the fetal egg is delayed in the fallopian tubes, then an ectopic, or, as it is called, tubal pregnancy may occur .

Important functions in a woman's body are performed by the ovaries. In them, the follicles mature, ovulate.

The structure of the female genital organs ensures the normal course of pregnancy and the development of the fetus. 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 carefully study the structure of the female genital organs, then you will realize that they are unique. Only in the female body can two hearts beat and there is an organ that exists temporarily (placenta). Nature provides for a cycle of purification in order to produce healthy offspring.
