Graafian follicle, ostium, uterus, fallopian tube.

Answer 1

Graafian follicle, ostium, fallopian tube, uterus.

• The Graafian follicle is the follicular stage after the first meiotic division but before ovulation. It, therefore, contains a 2N haploid oocyte. It is characterized by a large follicular antrum that makes up most of the follicle.
  
• The ostium of the uterine tube (plural ostia) may refer to the proximal or distal opening of the tube also called the Fallopian tube. The proximal tubal opening (ostium or os) is located within the uterus at the uterotubal junction and accessible via hysteroscopy.
  
• The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus.
  
• The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes or salpinges (singular salpinx) are uterine appendages, lined from inside with ciliated simple columnar epithelium, leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus, via the uterotubal junction.
