Female Flashcards
list the four subdivisions of the broad ligament:
- mesometrium: to lateral uterus
- mesosalpinx: to inferior side of uterine tubes
- mesovarium: to anterior surface of ovary
- suspensory ligament: lateral pelvis wall to lateral end of ovary
the broad ligament goes from the lateral pelvis wall to what three regions of the female reproductive system:
uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries
true or false: the ovarian and round ligament are derived from the gubernaculum and found within the mesovarium of the broad ligament
false: found within the mesometrium (lateral wall of pelvis to lateral uterus)
true or false: the round ligament is a continuation of the ovarian ligament
true
true or false: the round ligament goes from the medial pole of ovaries to upper uterus
false: this is the ovarian ligament
true or false: the round ligament goes from lateral sides of upper uterus through the deep inguinal ring and to the labium majora
true
true or false: the ligaments of the broad ligament are flattened fibrous bands of connective tissue
false: smooth muscle
ligament that goes from the cervix to the lateral pelvic wall via obturator fascia:
a) pubocervical ligament
b) suspensory ligament
c) uterosacral ligament
d) cardinal ligament
d
ligament that goes from the sides of the cervix to the pubic symphysis:
a) pubocervical ligament
b) suspensory ligament
c) uterosacral ligament
d) cardinal ligament
a
ligament that goes from the uterus to anterior sacrum and is part of the rectouterine folds:
a) pubocervical ligament
b) suspensory ligament
c) uterosacral ligament
d) cardinal ligament
c
the ovaries are ____ to the uterine tubes in the ovarian fossa:
a) anterosuperior
b) posteroinferior
c) anteroinferior
d) posterosuperior
b
true or false: the ovarian fossa is bound posteriorly by the ureters and to the internal iliac vessels
true
the suspensory ligament is ______ to the ovaries:
a) lateral
b) posterior
c) superior
d) posterolateral
e) superolateral
d
true or false: the ovaries have four surfaces: mesovarian (anterior), free border (posterior), uterine extremity (medial), tubule extremity (lateral)
true
true or false: the tubule extremity of the ovaries contains the suspensory ligament and a singular fimbrae attaching the ovaries to the uterine tube
true
the infundibulum is part of the ____ _____and curves around the ______. it contains mucosal folds called _____.
uterine tubes, ovaries, fimbrae
list the four parts of the uterine tubes in order of proximal to distal
intramural, isthmus, ampulla, infundibulum with fimbrae
true or false: ovaries consist of inner vascular medulla and an outer cortex with follicles
true
true or false: each follicle in the ovaries contains an ovum with surrounding supporting endocrine cells in the medulla
false: in the cortex
true or false: the medulla of the ovaries contains follicles
false: cortex does
mature follicles accumulate antral fluid in the _____
antrum
what is the location of fertilization or ovum degradation?
ampulla of the uterine tubes
true or false: supporting cells of the ovary degenerate shortly after fertilization
false: degenerate if NO fertilization
supporting cells of the ovary produce _______ prior to ovulation and those remaining afterwards form a corpus ___ which produces ___________
oestrogen, luteum, progesterone
true or false: the uterine tubes are open only at the lateral (infundibulum) end
false: open at both ends
what are the three layers of the uterine tubes
mucosa, smooth muscle, serosa (peritoneum)
the mucosa of the of the uterine tubes contains all BUT;
a) ciliated epithelial cells to assist ovum movement
b) connective tissue
c) endocrine cells
d) mucosal folds
e) secretory cells that produce nutritive fluid for ovum
c
mucosal folds are found in excess in which two regions of the uterine tubes:
ampulla, infundibulum
true or false: the uterus becomes more vertical as the bladder fills
true
anteroversion means:
a) uterus tilted forwards
b) uterus tilted backwards
a
retroversion means:
a) uterus tilted forwards
b) uterus tilted backwards
b
list the three regions of the uterus with a brief description:
fundus (above entry of uterine tubes) body cervix (structurally and functionally different)
