The female gonads or sexual glands are the ovaries; they are the source of ova and of the female sex hormones estrogens and progestones. The uterine tubes conduct ova to the uterus, which lies within the lesser or true pelvis. The uterus connects through the cervical canal with the vagina. The vagina opens into the vestibule about which lie the external genitalia, collectively known as the vulva. |

The Ovaries
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 12/8/2011
The ovaries are multipurpose organs. They harbor, nurture, and guide the development of the egg so that when it is extruded from the ovary (ovulation) it has been prepared for its migration down the fallopian tube, its penetration by sperm, and its eventual implantation in the wall of the uterus. Additionally, the ovary is a sophisticated endocrine structure.
The Vaginosis Profile
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 6/24/2004
The Vaginosis Profile from Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory is one of the most comprehensive evaluations available. It features microscopy for every sort of organism by trained and experienced technicians with an advanced DNA probe for the most common causes of the condition. With a rapid, semiautomated DNA probe test to definitively identify clinically significant levels of Gardnerella, and Trichomonas, detection rates for these organisms can reach levels of 90% and greater in properly transported specimens.
