Q

uterus components

A

body: fundus: round superior end where uterine tubes open to uterine cavity
isthmus: narrow inferior segment
extends into cervix
cervix: short cylinder
central chanal cervical canal
supravaginal part: above vagina
vaginal part: protrudes into the upper vagina
uterine cavity

communicates with lumen of fallopian tubes
vaginal internal os and external os

16
Q

cervix changes after birth

A

from nulliparous to multiparous

17
Q

vagina: description and role

A

distensible fibromuscular tube from vulva to cervix
length varies, enlarges during sexual arousal
anteriorly bladder and urethra
posteriorly rectum
role: copulatory organ in women

18
Q

vagina component

A

vaginal canal: lumen of vagina
normal collapse
internal end of canal enlarged vaginal vault
vaginal vault: receive semen during intercours
sper make their way through external os, cervical canal, internal canal, uterine cavity, F tube, ampulla
speculum is needed to open a vaginal canal to examine the vaginal cervix

19
Q

angles of uterus/cervix/vagina

A

uterus: mobile, change position, bladder, rectum
flexion: angle between uterine body & isthmus
body of uterus is normally anteflexed on the cervix
over the bladfer
version: angle between cervical canal & vagina
cervix: normally angled forward on the vagina
cervix projects into the upper anterior aspect of vaginal vault
vagina: superior and posteriorly oriented
60d to horizon and 45d to uterus

20
Q

peritoneum

A

draps over bladder over bladder and body of uterus, rectum and post. supravaginal part of cervix
double fold on each side of uterus: broad ligament
form pouches
fold over uterosacral ligament
form recto uterine fold

21
Q

vesico-uterine pouch

A

anterior, between bladder and uterus

22
Q

recto-uterine pouch

A

between uterus and rectum

lowest part of peritoneal cavity

23
Q

ligament of female of pelvic cavity

A

uterus/ vagina complex is supported by pelvic floor

maintain uterus

24
Q

round ligament of uterus

A

superolateral corners of uterus, iguinal canal to labia majora
maintain anteversion of uterus

25
Q

uterine ligament

A

from cervix to pelvic wall
split into 3
transverse cervical ligament (cardinal) cervix to lateral pelvic wall
protect uterine vessel + maintain central postion
puboecervical: pubic bone to cervix
uterosacral: sacrum to cervix
maint central position

26
Q

broad ligament

A

double folds of peritoneum extending on each side of uterus to lateral wall

mesosalphinx: F tube
mesovarium: ovary
mesometrium: uterine body and lateral side of pelvis

27
Q

vulva

A

external female genitalia structure

erectile tissue associated muscles, accessory gland

28
Q

erectile tissue

A

2 corpora cavernosa

2 bulbs of the vestibule

29
Q

bulbs of the vestibule

A

on each side of vaginal opening
firmly anchored to perineal membrane
join ant. on midline: glans of clitoris
homologous in male: corpus spongiosum

30
Q

corpora cavernosa

A

crura: proximal part of corpora cavernosa attached to pubic arch
body of clitoris: formed by the free part of corpora cavernosa

31
Q

skeletal muscles: ischiocavernosus

A

ischiocavernosus: cover cura of anchored to ischial tuberosity and pubic arch
roles: forces blood from crura into body clitoris for erection

32
Q

skeletal muscle: bulbospongiosus

A

cover the bulb of the vestibule
anchored to perineal body and perineal membrane
role: forces blood into distal region of clitoris

33
Q

innervation skeletal muscle

A

pudendal nerve S2-S4

34
Q

greater vestibular glands (Bartholin’s)

A

small pea shaped muscous glands
posterior to the bulbs of the vestibule in labia majora
located superficial to the perineal membrane
duct opens into vestibule & posterolateral aspect of vagina
role: lubricate vestibule during sexual arousal
homologous in male: bulbo- urethral glands

35
Q

para-urethral glands (Skene’s)

A

small glands on each side of the urethra
duct drains into the urethra
role: lubricate vestibule & labia during sexual arousal
female ejaculation
homologous to prostate

36
Q

labia majora:

A

most external 2 broad skin& fatty folds
unite anteriorly to form mons of pubis (Venus)
fatty tissue found over the pubic symphysis

37
Q

labia minora

A

2 delicate hairless skin fold found inside the labia majora

38
Q

clitoris

A

is located at ant junction of labia minora

39
Q

vulval vestibule

A

region between 2 labia minora

contains urethral and vaginal orifices and accessory glands
