Ch. 4: Sexual Anatomy Flashcards
Draw & name all structures that make up the external female anatomy
- prepuce (hood of clit)
- clitoris
- opening of urethra
- outer lips
- inner lips
- vagina
- bartholin gland
- perineum
- fourchette
- anus
What are the different types of female gential cutting (FGC)?
1) clitoridectomy- remove clitoral hood & maybe glands
2) excision- complete removal of the clitoral glands & inner lips
3) infibulation- remove clitoral hood, glands & inner lips & outer lips are stitched together
What are some health risks of female genital cutting (FGC)?
- bladder infection
- trouble with menstruation
what is a labiaplasty?
trimming of the inner lips
Draw & name all the structures of the internal female anatomy
- fallopian tubes
- ovaries
- uterus
- bladder
- urethra
- cervix
- rectum
- skene’s gland
- vagina
- anus
Draw and name all the internal structures of the breast
- breast lobule
- lactiferous (milk) duct
- lactiferous sinus
- nipple
- areola
- fat
- cooper’s ligaments
what percentage of women develop breast cancer?
12% of women
What are the treatments for breast cancer?
- lumpectomy
- mastectomy
- chemo & radiation
- immunotherapy
Name & draw the structures that make up male sexual anatomy?
- vas deferens
- pubic bone
- prostate gland
- corpus spongiosum
- corpora cavernosa
- urethra
- corona
- glans
- meatus (urethral opening)
- scrotum
- bladder
- seminal vesicle
- rectum
- cowper’s gland
- vas deferens
- epididymis
- testis
What are the different types of male genital cutting (MGC)?
1) superincision- making a slit along the length of the foreskin on the top, with the forskin otherwise remaining intact
2) subincision- a slit is made on the lower side of the penis along its entire length to the depth of the urethra. Urine comes out at the base and not the tip of the penis.
What are the two important internal structures of the testes (gonads)?
seminiferous tubules- store sperm (called spermatogenesis)
interstitial cells- produce testosterone
For spermatogenesis, what are the different stages of maturation for the male germ cell?
spermatogonium–> spermatocyte (primary then secondary)–> spermatid–> spermatozoan (sperm)
where is sperm manufactured?
seminiferous tubules
how does sperm travel from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis?
they travel through the rete testes which is a network of tubes on the surface of the testis to the top
how does sperm travel out of the penis from the epididymis?
epididymis–> vas deferens (2 on each side)–> prostate–> ejaculatory duct–> urethra
