Last week we discussed how it is physically impossible for a woman to swallow a camera in order to undergo a gynecologic exam. I promised to cover human female reproductive anatomy with a little help from Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. As a special perk, in a couple weeks we’ll review female external anatomy: Bottoms Up – or Three Holes & the Truth.

Let’s start with a human female standing up, her head is up, her feet are down. 
Now we’ll add Rudolph’s head – the uterus. 
Most non-pregnant uteruses are smaller than this relative to the belly I drew but I want you to be able to read my writing. The two fallopian tubes come off the uterus like two antlers. 
At the ends of the antlers are fimbriae – or fingers – that wave like a sea anemone.
Two ovaries (Rudolph’s ears) are attached to the uterus by tissue stalks, the ligaments of the ovaries. 
In a woman or girl who gets her period, an ovary spits out an egg once a month (ovulation; like a jelly bean falling out of Rudolph’s ear). 
The fimbriae of the adjacent fallopian tube wave and try to lure the egg into the tube. The ovaries alternate months – the right ovary contributes an egg one month and the left ovary the next month.
Rudolph’s face narrows into a snout – the cervix of the uterus. 
The opening of the cervix is visible inside the vagina. Think of the vagina as Rudolph’s nose. If it’s red, think yeast infection. 
Ouch.
I’ll put some eyes on Rudolph so you can get the full effect. No, uteruses don’t have eyeballs.
“an ovary spits out an egg once a month (ovulation; like a jelly bean falling out of Rudolph’s ear). The fimbriae of the adjacent fallopian tube wave and try to lure the egg into the tube.”
This part has always seemed a bit magical to me. I always picture “bad eggs” escaping and wandering around the cavity refusing to go into the tube.
Thank you for your continuing educational posts.
sounds like a short story: “The Renegade Egg” or “Eggs on the Lam”
