Potential Ways To Interpret Image

• Superficial
• Looking into each others eyes
• Touching
• Physiological changes
• Heart rates increasing
• Increased blood flow to reproductive organs
• Lubrication of vagina, clitoral enlargement,
  contractions of uterus
• Erection of penis, contractions of epididymis

• Expel fetus and placenta
• Absorption and phagocytosis
• Partially prepares sperm for fertilization
• capacitation
• Provides environment for embryo and fetal growth
• Hormone production
• Prostaglandin F2a production

Functions of the Cervix

• Transport of sperm
• Barrier to sperm (species dependent)
• Reservoir for sperm
• Blocking bacterial invasion during pregnancy
• Birth canal

COW
Uterine Body

• Cervix is composed of thick connective tissue

• Mucus is secreted near the time of breeding and
  ovulation.

Phenomena For Fertility

• vagina dentata - a vagina with teeth
• female bedbug - no vagina
• hysterectomy - if woman went to long without
  becoming pregnant then uterus would wonder in
  body causing hysteria and other distresses
• hyena - clitoris is very large and looks like the
  male penis female also has a false scrotum
  (labia) female is the dominate sex and produces
  more testosterone than male
