A

The first trimester, around weeks 7-12

58
Q

congenital abnormalities of the uterus/kidneys often are caused by..?

A

The mullarian ducts not fusing correctly or completely.

59
Q

Define premenarche

A

Pre-puberty. Typically before the age of 11

60
Q

Define Menarche

A

Menstruation occuring approximately every 28 days. Usually begins around 11-13 years.

61
Q

Define menopause

A

Cessation of menses. Starts around the age of 50

62
Q

Define polymenorrheic

A

When a cycle occurs at an interval of less than 21 days and a person has too many periods.

63
Q

Define oligomenorrheic

A

When a cycle is prolonged past 35 days and a person has too few periods.

64
Q

Explain Ovulation: the Follicular Phase

A

During menarchal years, ovum are released about once each month by one of the ovaries. This typically occurs around day 14 of the cycle.

65
Q

At what stage of life does a person begin to develop their ova (eggs)?

A

Embryonic development. Each ovary contains about 200,000 oocytes at the time of birth. These oocytes remain immature until menarche begins around age 11.

66
Q

The process of ovulation is regulated by the hypothalamus. What does the hypothalamus begin to release during puberty?

A

Gonadotropin-releasing hormones. These hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to secrete gonadotropins.

67
Q

The anterior pituitary gland secretes Follicle-Stimulating Hormone during the first 14 days of the menstrual cycle. What does FSH do?

A

It causes the ovarian follicles to develop so they can be released with ovulation.

68
Q

A mature ovarian follicle is known as a Graafian Follicle. How many cm in size do they reach before ovulation?

A

2 cm

69
Q

Between 5 and 8 preantral follicles begin to develop each month. How many of these reach maturity?

A

One.

70
Q

Ovulation is the explosive release of an ovum from a graafian follicle. What hormone(s) spike to stimulate this release?

A

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (FH)

71
Q

After ovulation, the ovary enters the Luteal Phase and begin the process of luteinization. What happens during Luteinization?

A

Cells in the lining of the ruptured follicle will multiply and create the Corpus Luteum. The Corpus Luteum starts secreting progesterone.

72
Q

9-11 days after ovulation, the Corpus Luteum degenerates. The progesterone level declines causing what event?

A

With the decline of progesterone levels, menstruation occurs and the cycle starts over.

73
Q

If fertilization occurs, the zygote will produce Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. Instead of degenerating, the Corpus Luteum does what?

A

The Corpus Luteum will remain to secrete progesterone until the placenta takes over. This takes about 3 months.

74
Q

Are Functional Cysts abnormal?

A

No. They are the result of the ovary functioning as normal. They are a common cause of enlarged ovaries in young women.

75
Q

What is the proliferative phase?

A

Days 1-14 of the cycle where the ovarian follicles develop and estrogen increases. Menstruation typically is days 1-4 of this phase.

76
Q

Define Polymenorrhea

A

Too many periods. Menstrual cycles with an interval of <21 days.

77
Q

Define Oligomenorrhea

A

Too few periods. Menstrual cycles prolonged >35 days

78
Q

Define Menorrhagia

A

Abnormally heavy or long periods

79
Q

Define Dysmenorrhea

A

Abnormally painful periods

80
Q

Define Amenorrhea

A

Absence of menstruation

81
Q

How does the endometrium appear on ultrasound?

A

The functional layer appears with a hyperechoic halo. The basalis layer is a thin darker line on the outside of it. The endometrial cavity is inside the functionalis layer.

82
Q

The endometrium is thin during the proliferative phase. How thin?

A

6 mm

83
Q

How thick is the endometrium from day 10-14, before ovulation

A

10 mm

84
Q

The endometrium is its thickest during the secretory phase as the functional layer becomes idoechoic with the basalis layer. How thick is the endometrium?

A

7-14 mm.

85
Q

What happens during the secretory phase from days 15-28?

A

The ruptured follicle becomes the corpus luteum which secretes progesterone. If there is no pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone decrease.

86
Q

What does the postmenopausal endometrium look like sonographically? What factor could change this?

A

It is thin and measures less than 5mm. However, a patient taking Hormone Replacement may have a thick endometrium up to 8mm.

87
Q

What are the requirements for a transabdominal ultrasound? Why?

A

A full bladder is required for an acoustic window. A filled bladder will tilt the uterus posteriorly and move the bowel out of the way.

88
Q

What are the requirements for a transvaginal ultrasound?

A

An empty bladder and higher frequency transducer are required. This gives a more detailed image, but with a limited range and depth.

89
Q

When would you NOT use a transvaginal ultrasound.

A

When the patient is a minor who has not been sexually active.

90
Q

What are the steps to prepare the transducer for a transvaginal ultrasound

A

Apply gel to the end of probe. Cover with a sterile, non-latex probe cover. Make sure there are no air bubbles between the probe and cover. Apply gel to the top layer for insertion.

91
Q

Explain a translabial approach as an alternative to transvaginal imaging.

A

A linear or curvilinear probe is prepared with the same steps as a transvaginal transducer. Scanning is performed externally at the vaginal canal.

92
Q

Explain a Sonohysterography

A

A saline infused endometrium allows for the evaluation of the inner portation of the endometrium.

93
Q

What is 3D Imaging used to evaluate?

A

Congenital malformations of the uterus such as Endometrial Polyps

94
Q

What two hormones spike before Ovulation?

A

Lutenizing hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone

95
Q

At the base of the follicle is a small cluster of cells that projects from the follicular wall. What is this called?

A

Cumulus Oophorus

96
Q

One of two muscles in the pelvic diaphragm, what muscle supports the Coccyx?

A

Coccygeus Muscle

97
Q

What triangular muscle covers the iliac fossae and forms the lateral wall of the pelvis?

A

The illacus muscle

98
Q

What is the iliopectineal line?

A

A bony ridge on the inner surface of the ilium and pubic bones. It divides the true and false pelvis.

99
Q

What does the obturator inturnus muscle do? and where does it attach?

A

it rotates and abducts the thigh. the muscle originates from the pelvic wall and connects to the femur

100
Q

Which muscle stretches across the pelvic floor and supports the pelvic organs?

A

Levator Ani

101
Q

What is the pyramid shaped muscle that attaches to the anterior sacrum and the femur?

A

The Piriformis Muscle

102
Q

What does the Psoas Major muscle do? and where is it located?

A

It flexes the thigh toward the pelvis. Originates at the lumbar vertebrae and unites with the iliacus muscle

103
Q

If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates and turns into

A

corpus albicans

104
Q

The 3-line sign of the endometrium is found in which phase?

A

Proliferative phase

105
