Anderson Reproductive Flashcards
3 portions of urethra
prostatic
membranous
spongy
where is utricle
why is it significant?
in prostatic urethra
swells in prostate cancer
erectile tissues
corpora cavernosa (2 erectile bodies) corpus spongiosum (anti-erectile body to protect penile urethra during ejaculation)
what is one unit with glans
corpus spongeosum (cavernosa are separate)
what confluens in penile urethra?
vas deferens and seminal vessicles
what structures contribute to ejaculate?
vas deferens
seminal vessicle
bulbourethral glands
what cells make testosterone in testes
interstitial cells of ledig
in overies, interstitial cells make estrogen
what does 5 alpha reductase do?
testosterone into dihydrotestosterone
what do LH and FSH do in males?
LH to ledig cells to produce testosterone
FSH to sertoli cells to produce inhibin (negative feedback to LH production)
what do androgens do?
sexual differentiation
maintenance of connective tissue, bone, muscle
what is associated with seminoma later in life?
cryptorchidism (undescended testes)
epididymitis/orchitis
E. Coli, Chlamydia, GC, pseudamonas
bacterial prostatitis
chlamydia, GC, people who have been catheterized
prostate with Ca is
prostate with hyperplasia/bph
prostate with prostatitis
nodular
swollen
painful and swollen
myometrium
endometrium
myometrium is thick muscular layer on outside and endometrium is on the inside.
what types of HPV cause cervical CA
16, 18, 31, 33
physical finding of cervical ca
bleeding after intercourse due to friable cervix
role of estrogen and progesterone and their phase
estrogen is proliferative in follicular phase
progesterone is in luteal phase and maintain
chronic endometritis
PID
IUDs
TB
chlamydia
most common invasive cancer of female tract
uterine adenocarcinoma:
high estrogen
low progesterone
- DM, HTN, nulliparous
pathonemonic sign of uterine adenocarcinoma in post menopausal women
bleeding
PCOS is related to
insulin resistance in the body
PCOS (Stein-Leventhal Syndrome)
hyperprolactinemia, androgen excess, young women, menstrual disorders, inability to conceive, hirsuitism
bartholin vs skene gland
bartholin gland is lower in perivestibular area: bartholin cysts can get bigger because have place to grow
bartholin cysts
local bacteria (e.coli, staph, strep) Can also be presenting sign of gonorrhea.
Gartner’s Duct Cysts
common in lateral wall of vagina
Wolffian duct remnants
see clear cell adenocarcinoma in women who’s mother took
DES
progesterone is
thermogenic, so temperature rises during luteal phase
what differentiates ovaries from testes
aromatase
- when you aromatize testosterone, it turns into progesterone
main estrogen type
type of estrogen during pregancy
17 beta estradiol
estrione
what are actions of progesterone
inhibits estrogen
increases cervical mucus consistency
stimulates growth of endometrium
inhibits GnRH in CNS
average age of menopause
52
ovarian estrogen and progesterone decline
FSH and LH rise
adrenal hormone production dominates
benign breast conditions
congenital nipple inversion
glactocele
fibrocystic breast dz
excess estrogen
solitary cysts that is freely movable
painful changes with cycle
most common benign tumor of breast in women under 30
fibroadenoma
upper outer quadrant
solitary, discrete, freely movable
breast ca nodules
multinodular
don’t change with menses
number 1 female cancer
carcinoma (breast cancer)
mutation of BRCA 1 gene
early menarche, late menopause, nulliparous
Paget’s Disease of the Breast
Late stage infiltrating carcinoma causes inflammation of tissue on nipple
older patients
poor prognosis
when does sperm growth start?
puberty
