CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION
What are the terms for the organs in the female reproductive system?
What are the combining forms that are used with the female reproductive system?
Cyclical function of the female reproductive system is menorrhea, the normal discharge of blood
and tissue from the uterus. How can some of the prefixes we have learned be used to describe
menstrual disorders? For instance, try the prefixes a-, dys-, oligo-, and poly-.
Discussion Guidelines: Amenorrhea would mean a lack of menstrual flow; dysmenorrhea is painful
