Q

in spermatognium, what happens to the type A and B cells?

A

type A stays to maintain the cell population

Q

what 5 things can sertoli cells do?

A
  1. nourish the spermatozoa that are developing
  2. digest discarded cytoplasm by spermatozoa
  3. secrete fluid into lumen to aid the spermatozoas transport
  4. product inhibin (to inhibit FSH)
  5. bind FSH and testosterone

Q

what receptors do leydig cells contain, and what is it for?

A

receptors for LH

  • stimulate testosterone to:

Q

naming!

internal genitalia is..
accesory ducts…
external genitalia..

A

internal gentialia is: ovaries
accessory ducts: uterine tubes, uterus, vagina
external genitalia: vulva

25
what is the ovary anchored by?
ligaments 1. mesovarium 2. ovarian 3. suspensory
26
which ligaments are broad ligaments?
1. mesovarium 2. suspensory
27
what are the arteries served by?
abdomoinal aorta
28
what is the external surface of the ovary covered by?
tunica albuginea
29
what is the final outer covering of the ovary?
germinal epithelium - tunica is the one under it
30
what does the ovarian cortex contain?
follicles at all stages of development
31
what are the 3 things the ovarian cortex contains?
oocyte theca cells granulosa cells * last 2 are supporting cells
32
how is corpus luteum formed?
from a ruptured follicle after ovulation each month
33
what is the function of the fallopian tube?
recieve egg site for fertilization
34
3 portions of the fallopian tube (start from when egg is released)
1. fimbrae 2.infundibulum 3.ampulla
35
what is the structure of the wall (fallopian tube) that helps the oocyte move towards the uterus?
1. smooth muscle helps with contracting 2. cilia helps with current
36
what is the external covering of the fallopian tube?
visceral peritoneum - supported by mesosalpinx
37
where is the uterus located?
-posterior to the rectum -posterior-superior to the bladder
38
functions of embyro?
recieves, nourishes, and retains embyro
39
what is the internal os?
uterus to cervix
40
what is the external os?
cervix to vagina
41
what do the cervical glands do?
fills the cervical canal & external os with mucus - prevents infection
42
why does the mucus of the cervical glands become less vicous at midcycle?
to let the sperm come in easily
43
mesometrium connect to the uterus?
laterally
44
how does the uterosacral ligament and uterus connect to each other?
from uterus to sacrum posteriorly
45
how does the cardinal ligament connect to the uterus
-- from cervix & upper vagina to the lateral walls of the pelvis
46
how does the round ligaments connect to the uterus
anterior body wall of pelvis to uterus
47
how many layers does the uterine wall contain, and what are they?
3 1. perimetrium (outer) 2. myometrium 3. endometrium
48
what is the perimetrium made of?
visceral peritoneum
49
what is the myometrium made of?
- smooth muscle
50
what is the endometrium made of?
- lamina propria - columnar epithelium
51
what is the stratum functionalis and basalis apart of?
- the endometrium
52
what does the stratum functionalis do?
-functions until menstruation (sheds)
53
what does the stratum basalis do?
- layer @ base that makes new functionalis
54
fix the order of vascular supply to the uterus! 1. radial arteries 2. spiral (functionalis)/straight arteries (basalis) 3. arcuate arteries 4. uterine arteries
1. uterine arteries from internal iliacs 2. arcuate arteries 3. radial arteries within myometrium 4. spiral (functionalis)/straight arteries (basalis)
55
how long is the vagina, and where is it located in terms of the urethra
-8-10 cm -posterior to urethra & parallel
56
the vagina is a passageway for...
1. sperm 2. exit of menstrual flow 3. infant delivery
57
what is the 3 layers of the vagina?
1. adventitia 2. muscularis 3. mucosa
58
what is a hymen?
-incomplete vascular parirtion/barrier near vaginal orifice/opening -can be ruptured
59
how can the hymen be ruptured?
-sex -sports -tampon -vaginal check up
