10/20 Anatomy of Female and Male Repro Flashcards
the framale gonads
ovaries (the primary sex organs)
funcitons of the ovaries
produce female gametes (ova); secrete female sex homones (estrogen and porgesterone
what holds the ovareis in place?
the ovarian ligament from the ovary to the uteris; suspensory ligament from the uterine tube to the body wall; mesovarium ligament from the tube to the ovary.
what is the ovarien ligament a remenant of?
The gubernaculum
where is the suspensory ligament?
it is a stretch of tissue that is the ovarian arterie/vien and autonomic and lymphatics wrapped in paratanium, and traveling from the body wall to the
where is the mesovarium
between the ovary and follupian tube
what is the arterial supply of the ovaries?
ovarian (gonadal) arteries
how is the venus drainage unique of the ovary?
the R. ovary drains to the IVC. and the left ovarian vein drains into the left renal vein (these are the gonadal veins!)
what are the three names of the tube from the ovaries to the uterus?
uturin tube; fallopian tube; ova duct
describe the opening fo the uterin tube
fimbriae (fingers to gather in the oocyte.) infundibulum (exxternal os open into the peritoneal cavity) ampulla (first of the tube, usual site of fertilization)
where in the female is the peratanium not a complete celomic sac?
two holes at the Infundibulum.
what are the three layers of the uterine wall?
perimetrium: serous layer (peritoneum); 2. myometrium: (smooth muscle) 3. Endometrium: (mucosal lining).
what is irregular of the myometrium?
the muscle is in all different directions! (like messy hair)
what are the three parst of the uterus?
the fundus, the body and the cervix (neck)
what blocks infection from entering the cervix and sperm from entering except during midcycle?
Cervical glands secrete mucus and create mucus plug as well as an acidic environment.
reflection of peritoneum between the uterus and the lateral pelvic wall.
broad ligament.
forms a double layer of peritoneum around uterus, uterine tubes and ovaries.
Broad ligament
subdivisions of the boad ligament
Vesicouterine pouch; Rectouterine pouch; suspensory ligament of ovary; mesometrium; mesosalpinx; mesovarium.
what is the lowest part of the peritonium…the spot where puss and fluid could gaterh
In the back it is the Rectouterine Pouch; In the front it is the vesicouterine pouch.
what peritoneal tissue is the borad ligament an extension of
peritoneium
how many layers is the broad ligament comprised of?
2
what are the 3 components of the broad ligament that lies between the ovarian tube and the ovaries?
mesosalpinx; mesovarium; mesometrium
Lies between the uterin tube, and the ovary:
the Mesosalpinx
Ligament that surrounds the ovary and makes a mesentary to the rest of the broad ligament.
mesovarium
The borad ligament below the ovary and connecting to the uterus.
Mesometrium.
describe the movement of the egg in the peritonium
the egg is ovulated through the mesovarium and into the celoem of the abdoment, then guided by the fimbre back through a hole in the broad ligament and into the ova duct.
what is the vascular supply of the uterin?
uterin and vaginal arteries arise from the internal iliac arteries: uterine arteries (to the bottom of the utureis) then up the body to the ovary. the vaginal to the cervix and the vagina and then up and down. The ovary also has the ovarian arter from the gential artery. all these connect together!!!
