Q

What are some of the compnetns of the ovar?

A

Surface- simple cubdoial epithelium
Cortex- largely composed of a connective tissue stroma
Medulla is a supporting stroma which contains a rich neurovascular network which enters the hilium from the mesovarium

Q

How does the uterus develop?

A

The paramesopnephric ducts are open cranially and connect to the urogenital sinus caudally, persist in the absence of MIH and fusion in the deucts in the midline creastes a broad tranverse fold draped by perioneum

Q

What is the ectocervix?

A

Is a portion of the cervix that projects into the vagina , stratified sqamous non kertainsed epithelium

22
Q

What is the external os?

A

Marks the change from ectocervix to endocervical canal

23
Q

What is the endocervical canal?

A

More procximal and inner part of the cervix, lined by a mucus secreting simple columnar epithelium

24
Q

What is the internal os?

A

Between where the endocervical canal ends and the uterine cavity begins

25
Q

What is the tranverse cervailca lgiament?

A

A thickeing of the broad ligament that allows for lateral stability of the cervix

26
Q

What is the uterosacral ligament?

A

Opposes the anterior pull of the round ligmaent and assists in maintaind anteversion and attaches the cervix to the sacrum

27
Q

What are the three key ateries involved in the blood supply to the female internal gentialia?

A

The ovarian atery- a branch of the abdominal aorta
The uterine atery- and anterior divsiion of the internal iliac
The internal pudenal- anterior divsion of the internal iliac

A

The external and internal iliac nodes and sacral nodes

32
Q

What is the labia majora?

A

Promient folds of skin that protect the clitoris and the urethra and the vaginal orifices

33
Q

Wht is the labia minora?

A

Rounded folds of fat free hariless skin, that surround and enclose the vestibule of the vagina

38
Q

What are the functions of the vagina?

A

Recieves the penis and the ejaculate during sexual intercourse, and expands to provide a channel of delivery during childrbirht, and is a canal for menstural fluid and tissue to leave the body

A

The peudenal nevre and the illioinguinal nerve

43
Q

What is the course of the puedenal nerve?

A
