Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was a Venetian painter. He was born in 1692 at Venice and died in 1769. He studied under Gregorio Lazzarini, but his work shows signs of more influence by Titian and Veronese. He began his career in Venice, where the bulk of his frescoes and oil paintings, executed for churches and palaces, are preserved. He is famous for the frescoes he painted, including his Antony and Cleopatra series in the PalazzoLabia. From 1750 until 1753 he was at Wurzburg, employed with his sons on the decoration of the archbishop's palace. He also worked at Bergamo and at Madrid, where he died. Research Giovanni Tiepolo
The dartos is a thin layer of smooth muscle tissue. In the male it is the tunica
dartos found within the scrotum. It originates from the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum and inserts in the fibrous septum. It is innervated by a branch of the genitofemoral nerve. In the female, this thin muscle is referred to as the dartos mulierbris. It is a very thin layer of smooth muscle that originates in the labia majora. It is less well-developed than the male tunica dartos. Research Dartos
The female reproductive system is responsible for generating the ovum, or egg, for storing the fertilized ovum, and nourishing the gestating embryo and fetus. The chief organs include the ovaries, the uterus, vagina, and the fallopian tubes. External (vulvar) organs include the labia majora, the labia minora, the mons pubis, the clitoris, the vestibule, and the greater vestibular cleft. The ovum, or egg, contains the female's contribution to the genetic make-up of the new child, and is generated in the ovaries. The newly generated ovum is passed through the fimbriated extremity of a fallopian tube, into the fallopian tube and there is fertilized by a spermatozoon (a sperm cell). During sexual arousal, a fluid created by the male's seminal vesicles and the prostate gland combines with the sperm cells to create semen, which is carried through the urethra and out of the opening, or meatus, in the end of the erect penis.
When the semen is deposited in the female vagina, the spermatozoa swims through the uterus to the fallopian tube, where it fertilizes the ovum, or egg. The fertilized egg travels down the fallopian tube within the next three days and becomes attached to the wall of the uterus (womb). There, during pregnancy, the fertilized egg will be nourished and will develop into the embryo and, later, the fetus. Once fully developed (after about 9 months), muscular contractions (labor) will push the fetus out of the womb. Research Female Reproductive System
The labia majora are two folds of the skin that extend from the mons pubis, a soft mound of flesh covered with pubic hair, to the perineum, the area between the vagina and the anus. They normally conceal the other genital structures. Research Labia Majora
The symphysis pubis is the frontal site of articulation between the two bones of the pubis. The symphysis is composed of hardened, calcified cartilage. It is covered by a thick pad of fat, called the mons pubis, which is just above the labia majora. Following puberty, the mons pubis is covered by hair, which remains through the life of the adult female. Research Symphysis Pubis
