circular area of pigmented skin that surrounds the nipple

natural postpartum infertility that occurs when a woman isn’t menstruating due to breast feeding

clear fluid that fills the cavity and bathes the oocyte

fluid producing epithelial cells that surround the oocyte

single cell released from either of the female reproductive organs, the ovaries, which is capable of developing into a new organism when fertilized (united) with a sperm cell

secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and triggers the creation of steroid hormones from the ovaries

secreted by anterior pituitary gland,  helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of eggs by the ovaries

produced by anterior pituitary gland, stimulates milk production, suppresses fertility

responsible for maintaining the lining of the uterus
