Q

describe contraction and relaxation of the bladder

A

sympathetic reflexes: Detrusor muscle is RELAXED, and internal urethral sphincter is CONTRACTED, no urination

A

labia minora

28
Q

what is the female homologue of the scrotum

A

labia majora

29
Q

what is the female homologue of the gubernaculum testis

A

ovarian and round ligaments

30
Q

what is the female homologue of the penis

A

clitoris

31
Q

what is the female homologue of the glans penis

A

glans clitoris

32
Q

what is the female homologue of the corpora cavernosa

A

corpora covernosa clitoris

33
Q

what is the female homologue of the corpus spongiosum

A

bulb of vestibule

34
Q

A

labia minora

35
Q

what is the female homologue of the scrotum

A

labia majora

36
Q

what is the female homologue of the gubernaculum testis

A

ovarian and round ligaments

37
Q

2 main peritoneal pouches of the female pelvis

A
  1. rectouterine pouch - between uterus and rectum

2. vesicouterine pouch - between bladder and uterus

38
Q

significance of recouterine pouch

A

when standing, this is the deepest point of the pelvis, so fluid from ascites can pool here

39
Q

how to aspirate fluid from recouterine pouch

A

needle in the posterior fornix of the cervix through vaginal canal

40
Q

what is the peritoneal covering of the structures in the true pelvis?

A

broad ligament of the uterus (COVERS ALL)

41
Q

what connects the ovary to the uterus

A

ligament of the ovary

42
Q

what connects the ovary to the pelvic wall

A

suspensory ligament of the ovary, contains ovarian vessels

43
Q

innermost part of uterus

A

myometrium

44
Q

muscular part of uterus

A

myometrium

45
Q

parts of cervix

A

external os, cervical canal, internal os at the uterine isthmus

46
Q

vaginal fornices

A

anterior, posterior, lateral

47
Q

parts of the uterine tubes

A

coming from the ovary, fimbriae to infundibulum, to ampulla to isthmus of uterus, to fundus of uterus

48
Q

vaginal fornices

A

anterior, posterior, lateral

49
Q

parts of the uterine tubes

A

coming from the ovary, fimbriae to infundibulum, to ampulla to isthmus of uterus, to fundus of uterus

50
Q

what is the position of the uterus relative to vaginal canal and bladder

A

uterus lays on top of bladder, makes angle of anteversion (anteverted and anteflexed)

51
Q

what do surgeons ligate when doing a tubal ligation?

A

fallopian tubes

52
Q

abnormal positions of the uterus

A

retroverted or retroflexed or prolapsed

53
Q

where is the round ligament

A

from uterus through inguinal canal to labia majora

54
Q

what ligament connects the cervix to the sacrum

A

uterosacral ligament

55
Q

what ligament connects the cervix to the pelvic wall

A

transverse/cardinal ligament

56
Q

what is mainly responsible for preventing uterine prolapse

A

pelvic floor muscles - levator ani

57
Q

main parts of broad ligament

A
  1. mesosalpinx
  2. mesovarium
  3. mesometrium
58
Q

where is mesosalpinx

A

suspends uterine tube, has tubal branches of uterine artery and vein

59
Q

where is mesovarium

A

attaches to ovary and covers ovarian ligament

60
Q

where is mesometrium

A

extends from lateral pelvic wall to body of uterus

61
Q

differentiate ligament of ovary and suspensatory ligament of ovary

A

suspensatory ligament of ovary connects ovary to lateral pelvic wall and has ovarian vessels in it, ligament of ovary connects ovary to uterus

62
Q

degrees of uterine prolapse from mild to severe

A

1, 2, 3rd degree

63
Q

drainage of lymph from fundus of the uterus

A

along gonadal vessels straight to para-aortic/lumbar nodes

64
Q

drainage of lymph from body/cervix of uterus

A

to pelvic lymph nodes/internal iliac nodes, then common iliac, then lumbar nodes
