| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Internal Genitalia | - ovaries - uterine (fallopian) tubes - uterus (cervix) - vagina |
| External Genitalia | vulva - mons pubis - labia majora + labia minora - clitoris - vaginal introitus |
| Ovaries are... | part of female genital and reproductive and endocrine systems |
| Uterine (Fallopian) tubes are held in place by _______ and its function is to ______ | broad ligament, transport ovum from ovary to uterus |
| Uterus is held in place by... | broad ligament, round ligaments at top, and uterosacral ligaments posteriorly |
| Walls of uterus composed of three layers.... | - perimetrium (outermost - serous membrane) - myometrium (middle - smooth muscle) - endometrium (innermost - mucous membrane) |
| Fornix | referring to area of vaginal canal behind and around cervix |
| Vulva | includes external genitalia + urethral meatus and mons pubis |
| Breasts are composed of... | adipose (fatty) tissue and glands |
| Breasts are part of _________ system and ____________ system as well | integumentary, female reproductive |
| Breasts contain ________ which produce milk | lactiferous lobules |
| What gland secretes luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)? | anterior pituitary gland |
| FSH stimulates... | - follicle in ovary (to enlarge and produce mature ovum) - estradiol secretion (development of female sexual characteristics) |
| LH stimulates... | - single follicle each month to rupture (release mature ovum ; menstruation) - rupture follicle (corpus luteum - to secrete estradiol and progesterone) |
| Female sexual characteristics | sexual drive, hair growth, breast development, widening of the pelvis, menstruation, deposition of fat, external genitalia development, pregnancy |
| Menarche | beginning of menstruation |
| Menstrual phase | Days 1-6 |
| Proliferative Phase | Days 7-13 |
| Ovulation | Day 14 |
| Secretory Phase | Days 15-26 |
| Ischemic Phase | Days 27-28 |
| Spermatozoa reach ovum _____ to _____ hours after sexual intercourse | 24 to 48 |
| Chemicals are secreted by _____ to attract ______ | ovum, spermatozoa |
| Zygotes (resulting cell of moment of conception) has _____ chromosomes | 46 |
| Zygote immediately begins to _______ as it moves through _______ | divide, fallopian tube |
| After _____ days of development, zygote becomes _____ | 4, embryo |
| The inner mass of cells of zygote become _______ and ______ | amnion (sac), embryo |
| Fetus | after 8 weeks of development |
| Gestation | moment of conception to moment of birth (38-42 weeks) |
| Parturition | labor and childbirth ; three stages |
| First Stage | cervical dilation, effacement (thinning and shortening of cervix), rupture of membranes |
| Second Stage | crowning, baby is delivered, umbilical cord is clamped and cut |
| Third Stage | delivery of placenta, suturing of episiotomy (if performed) or tears |
| Term Neonate (Newborn) | 38-42 weeks gestation |
| Preterm/Premature | 28-37 weeks gestation |
| Vernix caseosa protects skin of newborn from ______________ | amniotic fluid |
| Anovulation (prior to menarche, during pregnancy, menopause) | egg does not release from female's ovaries |
| Polycystic Ovary Syndrome | - amenorrhea (lack of menstruation) - hirsutism (excessive growth of dark/coarse hair in male-like pattern) - obesity - infertility |
| Endometriosis | endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus |
| Leiomyoma | benign tumor of myometrium, fibroids (tumors made of smooth muscles cells and fibrous connective tissue) |
| Leiomyosarcoma | cancerous tumor of myometrium |
| Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) | often from STDs - uterus - tubes - ovaries |
| Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) | irregular |
| Dysmoenorrhea | painful menstruation |
| Menorrhagia | excessive amount and duration of menstruation |
| Menopause symptoms | - headaches and hot flashes - risk of cardiovascular disease - backaches - skin and mucous membranes drier, skin rougher - stress or urge incontinence - bones lose mass and more fragile |

| Bacterial vaginosis | disruption of normal balance of bacteria |
| Candidiasis | fungal infection caused by yeast called Candida ("thrush") |
| Fibrocystic disease | painful, lumpy breasts (noncancerous) |
| Ectopic pregnancy | implantation of fertilized ovum outside of uterine cavity |
| Preeclampsia | - hypertension - proteinuria - edema |
| Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) | placental tissue, genetic disorders, chromosome defects |
| Apgar score | - color - heart rate - respiration, crying - reflex response, irritability - muscle tone |
| Tubal ligation | sterilization procedure, blocking both fallopian tubes by cutting or burning and tying off |
| Fetal distress | baby isn't receiving enough oxygen, can happen during pregnancy but more common during labor |
| Meconium aspiration | newborn breathes mixture of meconium and amniotic fluid into lungs during time of delivery |
| Nuchal cord | umbilical cord wraps around baby's neck during pregnancy or labor |
| Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) | breathing disorder in newborns from immature lungs |
| BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes | genes that help prevent certain types of cancers - mutations of these genes could increase chances of breast, ovarian, and other cancers |
| Fundal Height | measurement of uterus size in relation to fetal growth and development |
| Nonstress test | measures the heart rate of an unborn baby as it moves in the uterus |
