Big Robbins - Female Genital Tract (22) Flashcards
Origin of epithelium and stroma of ovary
Mesodermal Epithelium from wall of yolk sac (Mesonephric, Wolffian ducts)
The UG sinus develops when
the cloaca is subdivided by the urorectal septum
The UT sinus eventually forms
lower part of vagina and vestibule of external genitalia
Gartner Duct Cysts
Rests of residual mesonephric ducts in cervix and vagina
The epithelial lining of the female genital tract and the __ share a common origin from coelomic epithelium (mesothelium), which may explain
Ovarian Surface; Morphologically similar lesions arise in various sites w/in female genital tract and adjacent periotoneal surfaces
Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia are major causes of
Female infertility
Candida, Trichomonas, and Gardnerella
May cause significant discomfort, but w/out serious sequelae
What develops into Fallopian Tube
Mullerian Duct
HSV1 vs HSV2
HSV1 usually oropharyngeal, 2 usually genital mucosa and skin
Presentation of HSV infection
Lesions 3-7 days after transmission; Often systemic sx
What is this?
Characteristic cytopathic changes in HSV - Intranuclear vira inclusions
Having HSV1 before 2 and vice versa
Having HSV1 reduces HSV2 infection; But having HSV2 enhances HSV1 transmission
Individuals w/ primary, acute-phase HSV do not have
Anti-HSV serum Ab’s yet
Pearly, dome-shaped papules with a dimpled center
Molluscum Contagiosum
What is this?
Molluscum: Dome-shaped papule with dimpled center + Intracytoplasmic viral inclusions
