Female Reproduction Anatomy Flashcards
ligaments supporting the female stuff
median umbilical ligament round ligament of uterus round ligament of ovary uterosacral ligament board ligament of the uterus suspensory ligament of the ovary
female spaces/pouches
supravesicular fossa
retropubic space
vesicouterine pouch
rectouterine pouch
supravesicular fossa
peritoneal depression anterior to the bladder, above the pubic symphysis
used for suprapubic approach to pelvic cavity
retropubic space
between bladder and pubic symphysis low, used for suprapubic approach
vesicouterine pouch
space between uterus and bladder when uterus is ante flexed (normal)
rectouterine pouch
between the uterus and rectum, defined by uterosacral ligament
how is the rectouterine pouch accessed
posterior fornix of the vagina
uterine prolapse
uterus protrudes into vagina
rectocele prolapse
rectum protrudes into vagina
cytocele prolapse
bladder protrudes into vagina
enterocele prolapse
intestine protrudes into vagina
what causes a prolapse
relaxed pelvic floor ligaments
damaged perineal body
excessive retroversion
parts of the uterine tube
fimbria infundibulum- first part of tube osteium- opening into peritoneal cavity isthmus- narrow area intramural- in uterine wall
salpingitis
uterine tube infection
what is the blood supply of the uterine tuve
ovarian artery
peritinitis
infection in the peritoneal cavity
blood supply to uterus
ovarian and uterine
ligments on the ovary
suspensory ligament- holds ovarian vessels
ligament of ovary- ovary to uterus
mesosalpix- part of broad ligament
bloods supply of ovary
ovarian vessels
which vaginal wall is longer
posterior
palpable structures on pelvic exam
posterior- rectum, rectouterine pouch
anterior- bladder, urethra
lateral- ureters, uterine vessels, ovaries if enlarged
vaginal blood supply
upper 1/3- uterine artery
middle- vaginal artery
lower- pudenal
mesovarium
ovary to mesometrium
mesosalpnix
surrounds uterine tuves
