17
Q

What is the two types of episiotomy

A

Midline and mediolateral

18
Q

What are the components of the fallopian tube?

A

Frimbriae- finger like projections to capture the ovam from the ovaries

Infundibulum- funnel shaped opening near the ovary (attached to frimbriae)

Ampulla- widest section of the tube. This is where fertilization occurs

Isthmus- narrow section of tube connecting to ampulla

19
Q

Testes
Epididymis
Seminal vesicles
Prostate
Penis

23
Q

What is the function and location of the testes and epididymis?
