| external genitalia is referred to as the | vulva or pudenum |
| fatty tissue that covers and cushions the symphysis pubis | mons pubis |
| two folds of fatty tissue extending from the mons pubis to the perineum | labia majora |
| two this folds of skin located within the labia majora | labia minora |
| where the labia minora comes togwther at the lower edge of the vaginal opening | fourchette |
| oval-shaped area between the labia minora that contains the urinary meatus, vaginal orifice and bartholins glands | vestibule |
| thin layer of elastice connective tissue membrane that forma a boarder around the outer opening of the vagina | hymen |
| muscular, fibrous tissue between the vaginal opening and anus that supports the organs of the pelvis | perineum |
| internal female genitalia consist of | vagina, uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries |
| muscular tube that connects the uterus with the vulva; serves as a passage during chidbirth | vagina |
| pear-shaped hollow organ that houses the fertilized ovum | uterus |
| three portions of the uterus | fundus; body; cervix |
| stretchable folds that line the vaginal wall | rugae |
| outermost membrane of the uterus | perimetrium |
| middle muscular layer of the uterus | myometrium |
| inner, highly vascular layer of the uterus | endometrium |
| separates the body of the uterus from the cervix | internal cervical os or internal os |
| lower end of the cervical canal that opens to the vagina | external cerivcal os or external os |
| serve as a passageway for the ova from the ovary to the uterus | fallopian tube |
| small hairlike projections that line the fallopian tube | cilia |
| fingerlike projects at end of fallopian tube | fimbriae |
| female sex cells; gonads | ovaries |
| ovaries are resposible for | producing mature ovum; and estrogen production |
| the releasing of ova at monthly intervals is called | ovulation |
| breasts are responsible for | lactation |
| breast tissue consists of | adipose tissue; glandular tissue and connective tissue |
| glands that responsible for keeping nipple soft during breastfeeding | Montgomerys glands |
| milk travels through these ducts towards the nipple | laciferous ducts |
| acute or chronic inflammation of the cerivx that could lead to cerivcal erosion | cervicitis |
| herniation of the urinary bladder through the wall of the vagina | cystocele |
| presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus | endometriosis |
| benign fibrous tumor of the uterus | fibroid tumor |
| infection of the fallopian tubes | PID |
| PID stands for | pelvic inflammatory disease |
| infection of the fallopian tubes is also known as | salpingitis |
| inability to hold urine when the bladder is stressed | stress incontinence |
| inflammation of the vagina and vulva | vaginitis |
| BSE | breast self examination |
| visual exam of the vagina and cervix with a colposcope | colposcopy |
| surgical removal of a cone shaped segment of the cerivx | cone biopsy |
| destruction of tissue using liquid nitrogen | cryosurgery |
| process of measuring the pelvis to determine adequacy for child bearing | pelvimetry |
| term pregnancy | 37-42 weeks |
| fertilization takes places in the | fallopian tube |
| the first two weeks of fertilization the ovum is referred to as a | zygote |
| 2-8 weeks gestation is referred to as an | embryo |
| 8 weeks to delivery is referred to as | fetus |
| strong, thin walled membranous sac that envelops and protects the fetus | amniotic sac |
| organ of pregnancy that supplies fetal respiration, nutrition and excretion | placenta |
| placenta produces what hormones | HCG; estrogen; progesterone; HPL |
| lifeline between the mother and fetus | umbilical cord |
| false labor | braxton hicks |
| the outer membrane of the amniotic sac | chorion |
| severe hypertension of pregnancy | eclampsia |
| softening of the cervix | Goodells sign |
| settling of the fetal head into the pelvis | lightening |
| mask of pregnancy | chloasma |
| the act of giving birth | parturition |
| a woman who has given birth for the first time | primigravida |
