Pathophysiology lecture: female repro Part 1

QuestionAnswer
To make haploid or gametes or eggs , this happens in the ovaries
pathway: female ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina
vaginitis infection of the vagina; yeast infection
Complication of vaginitis cervicitis
the most inferior part of the uterus cervix
cervicitis is an infection of the cervix (inferior part of the uterus)
PID is when all the reproductive organs are infected
Secondary disease to gonorrhea or chlamydia PID
Result of PID can be scarring and sterility
Infection of the fallopian tubes salpingitis
where veneral warts condylomas are seen vulva
The most common cause of condylomas is HPV (human papilloma virus)
innermost layer of the uterus, part of it is menstruated every cycle endometrium
If the endometrium is in any place other than the innermost lining of the uterus endometriosis
Endometriosis can be due to a hormone imbalance
cervical dysplasia abnormal growth in the cervix
flat cells such as in the cervice are what kind? squamous epithelial
irregular shaped or formed cells dysplasia
the test to determine if you have irregular formed or shaped cells pap smear
an early sign that the tissue is changing and could turn into cervical cancer dysplasia
comes from the anterior part of the pituitary gland which controlled by the hypothalamus LH and FSH
If LH and FSH levels are abnormal it could be due to pituitary dysfunction or brain dysfunction caused by the hypothalamus
Mentrual cycle starts on Day one
The ovulation pattern starts on Day one
On the first day of the menstual cycle the endometrial wall is very thick
By day four or five of the menstrual cycle the endometrial wall is thin
During the menstrual cycle you never lose this layer of the endo metrium basal
The layer develops from the basal layer of the endometrium
what layer is shed in the menstrual cycle? basal layer (functional layer)
The next level up from the endometrium shows the levels of estrogen and progesterone.
The order of increase of the two main hormones first estrogen and then progesterone
At the start of the next cycle these levels will drop estrogen and progesterone
The follicle can be considered the egg but technically the egg is the gamete
females are born with all of the follicles need for fertilization
one egg is picked out on day one to start differentiating and maturing and it will become about ten times as large as it started.This takes about ten to fourteen days it varies.
The peak in the LH (luteinizing hormone) triggers ovulation
The follicle cells remain in the ovaries and the egg is pushed out of the ovary
Corpus lutea means yellow body
The follicle is going to differentiate into the corpus lutetium
what provides the female with progesterone? corpus lutea
it will stay functional until about day 28 when your body realizes that you are not pregnant corpus lutea
If the egg is fertilized it will secrete HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)
A hypothalamic releasing hormone that causes the secretion of both follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone by the anterior pituitary gland GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) keeps the corpus lutea functional for 3 months
You will have that level of progesterone for three months and by that time the ________is developed taking over the production of progesterone placenta
a white body called the _______ which is non functional corpus albicans
. If the egg is not fertilized, in _______days or so the corpus lutea will turn into a white body fourteen
. The follicle increases in size and differentiates because of _______hormone Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
If you didn’t have ______ you wouldn’t get pregnant or ovulate because the egg wouldn’t differentiate or grow in size. FSH
. With out_______you would not release the egg from the ovary or have ovulation. LH (luteinizing hormone)
it is the peak in ______ that triggers the release of the egg in ovulation. LH
