female reproductive
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the ovaries are located along the ___ surface of the _____ against the lateral wall of the _____ | posterior--broad ligaments---pelvis |
| mesentery which is suspends the ovary from the posterior surface of the broad ligament | mesovarium |
| peritoneal fold which attaches to the upper end of the ovary. it contains the ____ | suspensory ligament of the ovary---contains ovarian vessels |
| extends from the lower (uterine) end of the ovary to the lateral border of the uterus. It is homologous with the _____ of the male | round ligament of the ovary--- gubernaculum of the male |
| The surface of the ovary is NOT covered by peritoneum; therefore, it is exposed to the | peritoneal cavity. |
| the uterine (fallopian) tubes extend from the_____ to the ______, about __ inches in length and are located in the ? | uterus to the ovaries, 4 inches, free edges of the broad ligaments |
| the four parts of the uterine tube | infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, interstitial (uterine) portion |
| of the uterine tube--funnel-shaped terminal end, contains finbriae | infundibulum |
| of the uterine tube---broad, thick-walled segment which makes up the greatest part of the tube | ampulla |
| of the uterine tube---a thick-walled segment with a somewhat constricted lume | isthmus |
| of the uterine tube---transverses the uterine wall | interstitial (uterine) portion |
| a thick-walled, muscular, pear-shaped organ interposed between the rectum and the bladder. It is about ___ inches at its widest point and ___ inches in length | uterus---2 inches wide and 3 inches in length |
| there are 2 portions of the uterus | body and cervix |
| of the uterus---the largest portion, somewhat flattened | Body |
| part of the body which projects above the level of the uterine tubes | fundus |
| part of the body which is located below the level of the uterine tubes | body proper |
| located inside the body is the triangular _____ | uterine cavity |
| extends from the lateral border of the uterus (immediately below the uterine tubes), runs through the broad ligament, traverses the inguinal canal, and terminates in the subcutaneous tissue of the labia majora | round ligament of the uterus: |
| caudal portion of uterus which projects into the anterior wall of the vagina | CERVIX = |
| the constricted junction of the body and the cervix. This is the "lower uterine segment" of the obstetrician. It is the part of the cervix which dilated during pregnancy | isthmus = |
| the ____ is the lumen of the isthmus | internal os |
| at the apex of the cervix = opening of uterus into vagina | uterine ostium |
| groove between vaginal wall and cervix (has anterior, posterior, & lateral portions) | vaginal fornix |
| tilted forward from the vagina so that the axes of the two organs are not parallel | anteverted |
| the body itself is slightly curved, with the concavity facing anteriorly and inferiorly | anteflexed |
| a thin-walled, elastic-like tube extending from the _____ to the _____ | vagina, from the cervix of the uterus to the vaginal orifice (opening to exterior) |
| with the individual standing erect, the vaginal is about ____ inches in length | 3-4 inches |
| the cervix projects into the _____ of the vagina | anterior wall |
| the internal end of the vagina represents the | posterior fornix |
| the broad ligament is subdivided into 3 portions | mesovarium, mesosalpinx, mesometrium |
| extension of the posterior sheet of peritoneum. It provides support for the ovary (i.e., it is the mesentery of the ovary). | Mesovarium: |
| the upper portion of the broad ligament immediately adjacent to the uterine tube and above the attachment of the mesovarium (i.e., it is the mesentery of the uterine tube). | Mesosalpinx: |
| the major part of the broad ligament. It extends from the lateral margin of the uterus to the lateral pelvic wall (i.e., it is the mesentery of the uterus). Additionally, its position is below the mesovarium. | Mesometrium: |
| Within the Base of the Broad Ligament Are: | The vessels, nerves, & lymphatic channels passing between the uterus & vagina and the lateral pelvic wall. |
| the CT which form fascial sheaths around the vessels, nerves, and lymphatic channels passing between the uterus and vagina and the lateral pelvic wall are collectively termed | lateral cervical ligament/cardinal ligament |
| peritoneal pouches associated with the uterus | vesicouterine pouch and rectouterine pouch |
| peritoneal pouch between the uterus and bladder | vesicouterine pouch |
| peritoneal pouch between uterus and rectum | rectouterine pouch (Douglas' pouch) |
| lies in the upper, lateral margin of the rectouterine pouch. It extends from the middle of the sacrum to the isthmus of the uterus | uterosacral/sacrouterine ligament |
| arteries of the female reproductive | ovarian, uterine, vaginal |
| ovarian artery is from the | aorta |
| uterine and vaginal arteries are from the | internal iliac |
| vaginal and uterine venous plexuses join... | vesical plexus----->internal iliac veins |
| ovarian veins ----> | inferior vena cava and L. Renal vein |
| inner walls of the true (minor) pelvis (area below pelvic inlet) are partially lined by skeletal muscles: | obturator internus and piriformis |
| the origin of the obturator internus | inner surface of obturator membrane and surrounding boney rim |
| the tendon of the obturator internus leaves the pelvis via the ____ | lesser sciatic foramen |
| the muscle is covered by obturator fascia: the obturator fascia is thickened along a line running from the pubis to the ischial spine — this line is termed the .... | arcus tendineus. |
| the origin of the piriformis | pelvic surface of sacrum |
| the piriformis muscle leaves the pelvis via the | greater sciatic foramen |
| the floor of the pelvis is formed by skeletal muscles termed the ___ | pelvic diaphragm |
| the ____ is innervated by branches of the _____, containing ___ fibers | levator ani muscle, pudenal plexus, containing S4 |
| the levator ani is subdivided into | pubococcygeus and iliococcygeus |
| muscle from the pubic bone ----> coccyx, is anterior to rectum, left and right portions are separated from each other by a bridge of CT, the urethra of both sexes and the vagina of the female pass through this CT | |
| the most medial part of the pubococcygeus; forms a sling around the anorectal junction, thus drawing the junction forward | puborectails |
| from acrus tendineus-----> coccyx | iliococcygeus |
| the ____ is innervated by branches of the _____, containing fibers from ____. | coccygeus muscle, pudendal plexus, from fibers of S4 & S5 |
| the origin of the coccygeus muscle | ischial spine and part of sacrospinous ligament |
| the insertion of the coccygenous muscle | sides of the coccyx and sacrum |
