Ovary (ovarium):

The ovary is a flattened, elongated oval, 2.5-5 cm long, 1.5-3 cm wide and 0.6 to 1.5 cm thick body. The meeting between the uterus and ovaries, pelvic wall lying both endo-and exocrine functions. You are estrogens and progesterone, small amounts of androgens, which they emit into the bloodstream (endocrine function), and the oocytes (exocrine function).

Oviduct (tuba):



The fallopian tubes are about 10-12 cm long and 0.5 mm thick, ranging from the ovaries to the uterus channels. Because they are endowed by Flimmerzellepithel, they can transport the egg, which was collected from the oviduct ciliated funnel, within 3-4 days in the womb. This process is supported by wavelike muscle contractions.

Uterus (womb):

The uterus is composed of the body, a narrow intermediate piece and the neck. He is a dorsoventrally flattened pear-shaped body that is in the cervical area round.

The uterus is about 7-8 cm wide, muscular organ in which the prenatal development takes place. Their outer wall consisting of smooth muscle increases markedly during pregnancy. Regular contractions of this muscle (= labor) are indispensable for the normal functioning of a birth. The inner wall of the uterus consists of two layers, the basal and functional layer. The functional layer is characterized by a high proportion of glands. She is under hormonal influence renewed monthly or degraded (cycle). When pregnancy occurs, takes over the function layer of the uterus as long as the nutrition of the fertilized ovum, is produced by the contact with the maternal blood vessel system.
