19
Q

What epithelial is the uterine tube lined with?

A

cilitated columnar epithelium

20
Q

What helps zygota move through the uterine tube?

A
  • beating of cilia

- peristaltic, smooth muscle contractions

21
Q

What happens to the uterus and urinary bladder during pregnancy?

A

uterus pushes down onto urinary bladder –> lots of peeing

22
Q

Function of uterus

A

sits of implantation of fertalized ovum, development of fetus, labor, source of menstrual flow

23
Q

What are the 3 regions of the uterus?

A
  1. Fundus
  2. Body
  3. Cervix
24
Q

What is the fundus?

A

dome shaped superior portion & meets uterine tubes

25
Q

What is the body?

A

largest region

26
Q

What is the cervix

A

narrow region that opens into vagina

27
Q

What are the 3 portions of the cervix?

A
  • internal os
  • cervical canal
  • external os
28
Q

What is the internal os?

A

opening between uterus and cervix

29
Q

What is the cervical canal?

A

cavity within cervix

30
Q

What is the external os?

A

opening between cervix and vagina

31
Q

What are the 3 layers of the uterus?

A
  1. endometrium
  2. myometrium
  3. perimetrium
32
Q

What is the endometrium?

A

inner vascular layer lining uterine cavity

33
Q

What makes up the endometrium?

A

stratum functionalis and stratum basalis

34
Q

What happens to the stratum functionalis?

A

sloughs off during menstruation

35
Q

What does the stratum basalis do?

A

creates new stratum functionalis after each menstruation

36
Q

What is the thickest layer of the uterus?

A

myometrium

37
Q

What are the 3 smooth muscle layers of the myometrium and why?

A

Circular, oblique and longitudinal

*need a lot of muscle during labor

38
Q

What is the thin outer layer and what is it a part of?

A

perimetrium - part of visceral peritoneum

39
Q

What are the 4 ligaments of the uterus?

A

Broad, round, ovarian, suspensory

40
Q

Function of round ligament

A

attaches uterus to labia majora

41
Q

Function of broad ligament

A

Attaches uterus to pelvic wall

42
Q

Function of ovarian ligament

A

attaches ovary to uterus

43
Q

Function of suspensory ligament

A

attaches ovary to pelvic wall

44
Q

What is the hidden ligament?
