Female Path part 2 Flashcards
Suppresses GnRH, FSH/LH & lowers Gonadotropin levels to inhibit ovulation
Progestin implant/ injection
Combined OCP
prevent pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus, which prevents sperm from accessing the uterus.
Still get period
The progestin-only pill (due to low dosage/potency) and levonorgestrel intrauterine device (IUD)
releases copper ions that elicit an inflammatory reaction in the uterus that is toxic to sperm and prevents fertilization.
copper IUD
Sensory Perenial region
External urethral and anal sphincters
Pudendal n
S2-S4
Pudendal n
Sensory suprapubic
iliohypogastric n
Sensory of scrotum/ Labia Majora and upper medial thigh
Genitofemoral n
Important landmarks for a ___ nerve block include the ischial spines and sacrospinous ligament.
pudendal
Injury from abdominal retractors during laparotomy can lead to labial/scrotal anesthesia.
Genitofemoral nerve
courses along the anterior surface of the psoas muscle.
Injury during closure of suprapubic skin incisions (cesarean section) can result in burning pain and paresthesias.
iliohypogastric nerve
Injury during hip surgery can impair hip extension.
inferior gluteal nerve (gluteus maximus)
The uterine arteries, the major blood supply to the uterus, are branches of the ____ arteries.
internal iliac
Bilateral ligation of the internal iliac arteries should stop ___ blood flow and post-partum hemorrhage
uterine
A midline episiotomy is a vertical incision from the posterior vaginal opening to the perineal body. It transects the
Perineal body
Ovulation is then induced by administration of human chorionic gonadotropin, which mimics the ___ surge.
LH
Menotropin (human menopausal gonadotrophin) therapy mimics ___ and triggers the formation of a dominant ovarian follicle.
FSH
Following ovulation, the granulosa and theca cells of the ovarian follicle luteinize to form the ____; this secretes relatively high levels of progesterone
corpus luteum
stimulates the endometrium to transform from proliferative to secretory to become a hospitable environment for implantation.
Progesterone
Primary lymph node drainage of Uterus
External iliac
Primary lymph node drainage of the Vagina
Proximal: internal iliac
Distal: inguinofemoral
