| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ovaries are located where? | along the posterior surface of the broad ligaments against the lateral wall of the pelvis |
| Mesentery which suspends the ovary from the posterior surface of the broad ligament | Mesovarium |
| Two additional attachments associated with the ovary | suspensory lig. of the ovary and round ligament of the ovary(ovarian ligament) |
| Peritoneal fold which attaches to the upper(tubal) end of the ovary. Contains ovarian vessels. | suspensory lig. of the ovary |
| Extends from the lower(uterine) end of the ovary to the lateral border of the uterus. | round lig. of the ovary(ovarian lig.) |
| Round lig. of the ovary(ovarian lig.) is homologous with what of the male | gubernaculum |
| The uterine tubes extend from what to what | uterus; ovaries |
| Where are the uterine tubes located | superior free edges of the broad ligaments |
| 4 parts of the uterine tubes | infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus and interstitial(uterine) portion |
| Funnel shaped terminal end of the uterine tube | infundibulum |
| What part of the uterine tube contains fimbriae? | infundibulum |
| broad, thin-walled segment of the uterine tube and makes up the greatest part of the tube | ampulla |
| A thick-walled segment of the uterine tube with a somewhat constricted lumen | isthmus |
| Uterine tube portion that traverses the uterine wall | interstitial(uterine) portion |
| Thick-walled, muscular, pear-shaped organ interposed between the rectum and the bladder | uterus |
| 2 portions of the uterus | body and cervix |
| Largest portion, somewhat flattened part of the uterus | Body of the uterus |
| Part of the uterine body which projects above the level of the uterine tubes | fundus |
| Part of the uterine body which is located below the level of the uterine tubes | body proper |
| What's located inside the body of the uterus and is lined by what? | uterine cavity; endometrium |
| Part of the uterine body that extends from the lateral border of the uterus, runs through the broad ligament and traverses the inguinal canal. Where does it terminate? | round lig. of the uterus; subcutaneous tissue of the labia majora |
| Caudal portion of uterus which projects into the anterior wall of the vagina | cervix |
| Constricted junction of the body and the cervix | isthmus |
| Lower uterine segment | isthmus |
| Part of the cervix which dilates during pregnancy | isthmus |
| Lumen of the isthmus | internal os |
| At the apex of the cervix = opening of uterus into vagina | uterine ostium(external os) |
| Groove between vaginal wall and cervix | vaginal fornix |
| Position of the uterus is normally what? | anteverted and anteflexed |
| Tilted forward from the vagina so that the axes of the two organs are NOT parallel | anteverted |
| The uterine body itself is slightly curved, with the concavity facing anteriorly and inferiorly | anteflexed |
| Thin-walled, elastic-like tube extending from the cervix of the uterus to the vaginal orvice | vagina |
| Cervix projects into the ____ of the vagina | anterior wall |
| The internal end of the vagina represents the ____ | posterior fornix |
| The body, a portion of the cervix, and uterine tubes are enclosed within a sheet of ____ which divides the pelvic cavity into ____ | peritoneum; anterior and posterior sheets |
| The anterior and posterior sheets of peritoneum approximate one another, and extend from ____ to ____, forming ____ | uterus to lateral pelvic wall; broad ligaments(one on each side of uterus) |
| Broad ligaments is subdivided into 3 portions | mesovarium, mesosalpinx and mesometrium |
| Extension of the posterior sheet of peritoneum and provides support for the ovary | mesovarium |
| Upper portion of the broad lig. immediately adjacent to the uterine tube and above the attachment of the mesovarium | mesosalpinx |
| Major part of the broad ligament and extends from the lateral margin of the uterus to the lateral pelvic wall | mesometrium |
| Mesentery of the ovary | mesovarium |
| Mesentary of the uterine tube | mesosalpinx |
| Mesentery of the uterus | mesometrium |
| Part of the broad ligament just below the mesovarium | mesometrium |
| Within the base of the broad ligament are what? | vessels, nerves & lymphatic channels |
| Aggregation of CT sheaths in the broad ligament | lateral cervical ligament or cardinal ligament |
| Ligament that provides significant support to the uterus | lateral cervical ligament or cardinal ligament |
| Cardinal ligament is attached to the what? | isthmus of the uterus |
| Structures that support uterus | urinary bladder, cardinal ligament, pelvic diaphragm, sacral uterine lig. and round lig. of uterus |
| Peritoneal pouches associated with the uterus | vesicouterine pouch and rectouterine pouch |
| Peritoneal pouch between uterus and bladder | vesicouterine pouch |
| Peritoneal pouch between uterus and rectum | rectouterine pouch(Douglas' Pouch) |
| Lies in upper, lateral margin of the rectouterine pouch | uterosacral/sacrouterine ligament |
| Ligament of the uterus that extends from the middle of the sacrum to the isthmus of the uterus | uterosacral/sacrouterine ligament |
