23
Q

cervical cancer arises from the ____ epithelium

25
the Skene gland is homologous to the ___ in males
prostate
26
Bartholin's glands are homologous to ___ in males
Cowper's glands
27
in the female, the urethra is lined by:
pseudo stratified columnar epithelium
28
the labia minora and majora are lined by:
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
29
the labia majora differs from the minora by:
relatively more sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles
30
The gonads descend in BOTH sexes and are guided by ____ . The testis passes through the deep body wall into the scrotum via the ___ .
- fibrous gubernaculum | - inguinal canal (extends between deep and superficial inguinal rings)
31
Testis descends behind a fingerlike extension of parietal peritoneum, the____, which pinches off around the testis, forming a sac in the scrotum called ___.
processus vaginalis | tunica vaginalis testis
32
after descent, ovary ends up in the ____, an extension of the broad ligament of the uterus
mesovarium
33
gubernaculum attaches to the uterus and becomes the ____ and ____.
fibrous ovarian ligament | round ligament of the uterus
34
Processus vaginalis
fingerlike projection of parietal peritoneum extends thro inguinal canal, pinches off to form tunica vaginalis testis (sac that covers the testis). The proximal part usually disappears but may persist as a congenital, indirect, inguinal hernial sac.
35
in the abdomen the testes were between these two layers
parietal peritoneum and transversalis fascia (bottom layer)
