FIGURE 51.1 Label the ligaments and other structures associated with the female internal reproductive organs.
To label:
The ligaments and other structures related with the female reproductive organs.
Introduction:
The female reproductive system is comprised of the external and internal sex organs which play a role in the reproduction of new offspring. This system in human females is immature at birth but develops during the maturity at the age of puberty. It helps in the production of gametes and carries a fetus.
Explanation of Solution
The ligaments and other structures related with the female reproductive organs are given below:
Ovary:
It is a female reproductive organ. In this organ eggs or ova are produced. These are present in pair in humans and other vertebrates.
Uterus:
It is an organ located in the lower body of a female mammal or woman. In this region the offspring is conceived. It is known as a womb in which the fetus is gestate before birth.
Uterine tubes:
These are small and coiled tubes located near the ovaries. They travel a small distance to meet the uterine horns. These are also known as the fallopian tubes or oviducts.
The ovarian ligament:
It is also known as the utero-ovarian ligament. It is a fibrous ligament which joins the ovary to the side surface of the uterus. This ligament expands from the ovary in the different direction.
The broad ligament:
It is also known as the peritoneal fold. It connects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus to the pelvis. It is a double-layered piece of the mesothelial cells. It runs from the borders of the uterus medially to the pelvic sidewalls laterally as well as the pelvic floor inferiorly. Thus, it is the largest of the ovarian attachments.
The female reproductive system is comprised of the external and internal sex organs which play a role in the reproduction of new offspring.

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly.
