2012 module exam Flashcards
What is the tanner stage?
Stage IV
A 42-year old woman presented with pelvic discomfort. On physical examination, the gynecologist discovered complete uterine prolapse. Which ligament provides direct support to the uterus?
§ Uterosacral ligament § Round ligament of the uterus § Broad ligament § Arcus tendinous fascia pelvis § Levator ani
§ Uterosacral ligament
Note: The uterosacral ligaments and the transverse cervical (cardinal) ligaments are the two main ligaments stabilizing the uterus. They help to inhibit the uterus from prolapsing into the vagina. The round ligament of the uterus is related to the descent of the ovaries in embryologic development and continues into the inguinal canal. This ligament is the remnant of the gubernaculum ovary. The broad ligament is the peritoneal covering over the uterine tubes, uterus, and vessels. The arcus tendineus fascia pelvis joins the muscle fascia of the levator ani to the pubocervical fascia on the vagina and is not directly associated with the uterus or its ligaments. The levator ani muscles contribute to the floor of the pelvis and support all of the pelvic viscera indirectly; it does not, however, prevent prolapse of the uterus into the vagina

What originates from the ceolmic epithelium?
Sertoli cells
What originates from the paramesonephric duct?
Uterine tube
What structure does the uterus develop from?
Paramesonephric duct
A girl with primary amenorrhea and cyclic pelvic pain presented with imperforated hymen. What is the embryological cause?
§ Failure of sinovaginal bulb formation
§ Failure of vaginal plate to canalize
§ Failure of sinovaginal bulb formation
- ”Incomplete vertical fusion (sinovaginal bulb with descending Mullerian system) results in imperforate hymen”
What is the arterial supply of the bulbospongiosus muscle?
Internal pudendal artery
What innervates the bulbospongiosus muscle?
Perineal branch of pudendal nerve
Pain afferents traveling from the body of the uterus in which of the following nerves?
Lumbar splanchnic nerves
During ligation of the ovarian artery, which structure is most likely to be injured?
Ureter
*Ligation of ovarian vessels or uterine artery may injure the ureter. Ligation of the
fallopian tube injures ovarian artery

§ Tendinous arch of pelvic fascia
§ Tendinous arch of levator ani
§ Pelvic diaphragm
§ Perineal membrnae
§ Tendinous arch of pelvic fascia
What moves along the path in the abdomen formed by the gubernaculum?
Processus vaginalis
What is lymphatic drainage of the prostate gland?
Internal iliac lymph nodes
A woman presents with ascites and the doctor want to drain the fluid through the vagina. To where should he insert the needle?
Rectouterine pouch
A 32-year old woman presented with primary infertility. Endometrial biopsy showed tortuous endometrial glands and subnuclear vacuolization. What describes her endometrium?
Early secretory endometrium
A 40-year old woman presented with dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. On an ultrasound, she had an enlarged asymmetrical mass in her uterus. On further investigation, it was found that the endometrium invaded the myometrium. What does she have?
Adenomyosis
Endometrial glands and stroma seen in a biopsy of the cul-de-sac of Douglas. Diagnose.
Endometriosis
An increase in pulsatile secretion of GnRH from the hypothalamus accompanied by an increase in LH and FSH describes which of the following?
A 12-year old child
Which of the following best describes a woman with a 28-day cycle with a menstruation of 1-2 days with scanty bleeding?
Hypomenorrhea
Which of the following store sperm for maturation?
§ Testes § Seminal vesicle § Prostate § Epididymis § Vas deferens
§ Epididymis
The secretions of what is important for sperm maturation?
Seminal vesicle
What is the normal volume of blood in a normal period?
20-80 ml
Which of the following represents hormone levels during menopause?
§ High FSH, low estradiol, low inhibin, low AMH
§ High FSH, low estradiol, low inhibin, high AMH
§ High FSH, low estradiol, low inhibin, low AMH
How to diagnose a woman with secondary amenorrhea for 14 months with hot flashes?
§ Low serum estradiol
§ Low serum estradiol, high FSH
§ Low serum estradiol, high FSH
Which phase of the sexual response cycle is characterized by involuntary muscle contraction, sudden, forceful release of sexual tension, and a sexual flush appearing over the entire body?
§ Excitement
§ Plateau
§ Recovery
§ Orgasm
§ Orgasm
What is a risk factor for endometrial cancer?
§ Clomiphene treatment for 6 months
§ PCOS being treated with combined contraceptives
§ Woman with BMI=22
§ Woman with induced labor at 42 weeks
§ Clomiphene treatment for 6 months
What assists in thermoregulation?
§ Bulbospongiosus
§ Dartos muscle
§ Dartos muscle
*Contraction of bulbospongiosus is to empty urethra from residual urine or semen. Dartos and cremaseter muscle both assist in thermoregulation. Pampiriform plexus also acts as a cooling mechanism.
