Answer 19

MAMMARY GLAND/Breast

Question 20

each mammary gland is composed of ________ lobes
subdivided into lobules containing the secretory alveoli

Answer 20

15 to 20

Question 21

Found lining the surfaces of
various organs, including the vagina, cervix, and uterus. It plays a role in protection, secretion, and
absorption

Answer 21

Epithelial Tissue

Question 22

Provides structural support and
helps anchor organs in place. It is present in the ovaries, uterus, and other reproductive organs.

Answer 22

Connective Tissue

Question 22

A specialized type of epithelial
tissue that lines the uterus (endometrium). It undergoes
cyclic changes in response to hormonal fluctuations and is
shed during menstruation if fertilization does not occur

Answer 22

Endometrial Tissue

Question 22

Smooth muscle tissue is prevalent in the uterus, fallopian tubes, and vagina. It contracts during
childbirth and helps move eggs and sperm through the reproductive tract

Answer 22

Muscle Tissue

Question 23

These contain various types of cells, including granulosa cells, theca cells, and oocytes, surrounded by connective tissue. They are structures within the ovaries where oocytes develop

Answer 23

Ovarian Follicles

Question 24

Found in the ovaries, uterus, and other reproductive organs, stromal tissue provides structural support and contains blood vessels, nerves, and other components necessary for the function of these organs

Answer 24

Stromal Tissue

Question 25

Provides additional support and structure to the reproductive organs. It is found in the ligaments that attach the uterus to the pelvis and in the walls of the vagina

Answer 25

Fibrous Tissue

Question 26

These are the female germ cells or eggs produced by the ovaries. They are released during ovulation and are fertilized by sperm during sexual reproduction.

Answer 26

Oocytes

Question 27

Also located in the ovarian follicles, theca cells produce androgens, which are converted into estrogen by granulosa cells

Answer 27

Theca Cells

Question 28

These cells line the uterus (endometrium) and undergo cyclic changes in response to fluctuations hormonal during the menstrual cycle. They are shed during menstruation fertilization does not occur

Answer 28

Endometrial Cells

Question 29

These cells line the cervix and play a role in producing cervical mucus, which changes in consistency throughout the menstrual cycle to facilitate or prevent sperm passage into the uterus

Answer 29

Cervical Cells

Question 30

These cells are found on the surface of the ovaries and play a role in the development of ovarian follicles.

Answer 30

Germinal Epithelial Cells

Question 31

Found in the ovarian follicles, these cells surround the oocyte and support its development. They produce hormones like estrogen during the menstrual cycle

Answer 31

Granulosa Cells

Question 32

These cells provide structural support to the ovaries and other reproductive organs. They also contribute to hormone production and tissue repair

Answer 32

Stromal Cells

Question 33

A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain and infertility

Answer 33

Endometriosis

Question 34
