Question 6

which portion of this ovary is the medullary region? the cortical region?

Answer 6

Question 7

the ___ ____ is the site of fertilization.

Answer 7

fallopian tube

Question 8

4 portions of the fallopian tubes

Answer 8

1) infundibulum with fimbriae
2) ampulla
3) isthmus
4) uterine or intramural portion

Question 9

What is this? What epithelium is found facing the lumenal portions of this structure

Answer 9

fallopian tube. this is simply ciliated columnar epithelium

Question 10

label

Answer 10

this is the uterus

Question 11

which portion of the fallopian tube houses the most folded mucosa?

Answer 11

most promnent in the AMPULLA

Question 12

3 portions of the walls of the fallopian tube

Answer 12

1) mucosa (and lamina propria)
2) muscularis with 2 layers
3) serosa

Question 13

the lamina propria in the fallopian tube contains ____ CT. What epithelium is found in the mucosa layer of the FT?

Answer 13

lamina propria is made of LLOSE CT. the mucosa is lined by simple columnar epithelium consisting of 2 types of cells

1) ciliated cells
2) peg cells to secrete mucous which keeps the lining moise and provides nutrients for ovum and sperm

Question 14

2 cell types found in the mucosa of the fallopian tubes and function

Answer 14

1) ciliated cells: propels ovum towards uterus
2) peg cells: secretes mucous which keeps the tract moist and provides nutrients for ovum AND SPERM

Question 15

2 layers of the muscularis layer of the fallopian tube

Answer 15

inner circular and outer longitudinal (x2)

Question 16

Label

Answer 16

fallopian tube

LP= lamina propria with loose connective tissue- highly folded in the ampulla

C= circular layer of muscle

L= longitudinal muscle (2 layers!)

E= epithelium— SC= secretory cells, CC= ciliated cells.

Question 17

4 portions of the uterus

Answer 17

1) fundus
2) body
3) isthmus
4) cervix

Question 18

the ___ is the site of implantation of blastocyst

Answer 18

UTERUS

Question 19

3 layers of the uterus

Answer 19

1) endometrium
2) myometrium
3) perimetrium

Question 20

the uterus doesn’t have a mucosa, instead, what is this layer called?

Answer 20

the endometrium

Question 21

epithelium found in the endometrium. What other tissue is found?

Answer 21

simple columnar epithelium with ciliated cells. there is also a STROMA made of loose connective tissue. this contains endometrial glands, coiled arteries, ground substance and fibroblasts.

Question 22

Answer 22

E= endometrium

M= myometrium

LP= lamina propria with loose connective tissue and stroma

UG= uterine/endometrial glands.

Question 23

the endometrium is subdivided into two layers. what are they

Answer 23

1) stratum basalis. basal portion of endo metrium
2) stratum functionalis. sloughed off during every menstruation and it is the site of cyclic changes.

Question 24

uterine glands of the endometrium are found in the ____ layer

Answer 24

basal layer. stratum basalis

Question 25

label

Answer 25

uterus with a focus on the endometrium

M= myometrium

A= arteries (straight)

B= stratus BASALIS of the endometrium

G= uterine glands

SE= surface epithelium lined with simple columnar epithelium, some cells have cilia

S= STROMA

Question 26

in the stratum basalis layer of the endometrial uterus, what type of collagen can be found in the connective tissue stroma?

Answer 26

collagen 3

Question 27

3 phases that the stratum functionalis undergoes in the cyle

Answer 27

1) menstrual (day 1-5)
2) proliferative (6-14)
3) secretory phases (15-28)

Question 28

label the phases of the uterus

Answer 28

Question 29

the myometrium layer of the uterus is equivalent to the ___ ___. What tissue is it made of?

the perimetrium is equivalent to the ___

Answer 29

equivalent to the muscularis externa. made of bundles of smooth muscle. the perimetrium is equivalent to the SEROSA

Question 30

What portion of the reproductive system is this? What layer contains elastic fibers so that it stretches?

Answer 30

vagina. M= myometrium

A= adventitia

LP= lamina propria (CONTAINS ELASTICC FIBERS)

SS= Stratified squamous epithelium NON KERATINIZED

Question 31

What is endometriosis

Answer 31

when endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing implants, lesions and nodules in surrounding tissues such as appendix, bladder and intestine.

Question 32

symptoms of endometriosis

Answer 32

painful periods, painful intercourse

Question 33

what is placenta previa?

Answer 33

when the embryo is impanted close to the cervix, and the placenta between fetus and vagina obstructs passuge of the fetus during delivery.

often results in rupture because placenta is highly vascularized, and the female will die if the fetus is not delivered by cesarean section.
