A

Outer perimetrium
Myometrium
Endometrium

20
Q

Stratum functionalis function

A

Lost if the pregnancy does not occur

21
Q

Stratum basalis

A

Retained during menstruation

Provides stem cells for stratum functionalis

22
Q

What is the normal position of the uterus

A

Anteverted (cervix bent over vagina ) and ante-flexed (body of uterus bent over cervix )

23
Q

What supports the uterus

A

Pelvic floor muscles
Transverse cervical ligament
Uterosacral ligaments
Round ligaments of the uterus

24
Q

What is a uterine prolapse

A

It involves the loss of support by the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments and the pelvic floor muscles ,they can longer counteract typical intra abdominal pressures

25
Q

What are the indications of an episiotomy

A

Very large fetus
Breech presentation
Abnormal fetal heart rate
Forceps delivery

26
Q

Where do the veins of the uterus drain

A

They drain to the ovarian and internal iliac veins

27
Q

Where do the arteries of the uterus drain

A

Internal iliac arteries

28
Q

Hysterectomy can be complete ,partial ,radical or subtotal what stress the indications

A
Uterine fibroids 
Pelvic inflammatory disease 
Endometriosis 
Excessive uterine bleeding 
Cancer of the cervix ,uterus or ovaries
29
Q

What are the symptoms and risk factors of cervical cancer

A

Symptoms is abnormal vagina bleeding and risk factors is HPV infection Smoking immunosuppression being overweight

30
Q

What are the treatments for cervical cancer

A

Surgery,Cryotherapy, laser therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy

31
Q

Describe the three layers of the vagina

A

Mucosa -non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium lamina propria -vagina does not contain glands
Muscularis -Two layers of smooth muscle – – inner circulation and outer longitudinal
Adventitia - Loose connective tissue that anchors vagina to surroundings

32
Q

Clitoris

A

Sensitive ,erectile organ located where the lips of the labia minora meet

33
Q

How many lobes does the compound tubuloaveolar glands

A

12-25

34
Q

Fibrocystic change of the breast

A

30-50 years
Not cancer
Due to hormonal stimulation of the breast tissue
Results in dilated fluid filled acini strong abundance and strong abundance
Small cyst and nodules are formed leading to painful and lumpy breast

35
Q

Breast cancer risk factors

A

Female , advancing age ,positive family history ,increased exposure to endogenous estrogen ,nulliparity ,delayed childbearing ,prolonged use of hormone replacement therapy ,alcohol ,

36
Q

Give the four phases of the female reproductive cycle and the rough day guideline

A

Menstrual phase ( day 1-5 )
Preovulatory phase (6-13 )
Ovulation (day 14 )
Post ovulatory phase (day 15-28 )

37
Q

GnRH stimulates the secretion of FSH and LH what do these hormones do

A

They stimulate follicles to secrete estrogen

38
Q

Surge of LH from anterior pituitary gland stimulates

A

Stimulates the ovulation and formation of corpus luteum

39
Q

Follicular development order

A
Primordial follicle 
Primary follicle 
Secondary follicle 
Mature follicle 
Ovulated secondary oocyte
40
Q

Function of estrogen

A

Female reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics
Increases protein anabolism
Lowers blood cholesterol
Inhibits the release of GnRH ,LH and FSH

41
Q

Progesterone

A

Secreted by corpus luteum
Prepares endometrium for implantation
Inhibits secretion of GnRH and LH

42
Q

Relaxin

A

Produced by corpus luteum
Relaxes uterus by inhibiting contraction of myometrium
Increases flexibility of pubic symphysis and dilates uterine cervix

43
Q

Inhibin

A

Secretes by granulosa cells of growing follicles and corpus luteum
Inhibits FSH and LH

44
Q

What does the corpus luteum become if the oocyte is not fertilized

A

Corpus albicans

45
Q

What happens to the corpus luteum if the oocyte is fertilized

A

The hCG produced by chorion of the embryonic about 8 days after fertilization stimulates corpus luteum
