Female Reproductive system Flashcards
suspensory ligament
ovary to lateral wall of pelvis
contains ovarian vessels and nerves
mesovarium
part of broad ligament associated with OVARIES
attaches to hilum of ovary, enclosing vascular supply
3 regions of broad ligament
1. mesometrium =uterus, largest subsection; covers iliac vessels 2. mesovarium =ovaries 3. mesosalpinx =encloses uterine tubes
mesosalpinx
UTERINE TUBES
right ovarian vein goes to what
IVC
left ovarian vein goes to what
L. renal vein
what is the site of fertilization
uterine tubes
intraperitoneal innervation
SUPERIOR to pelvic pain line
visceral afferent pain fibers ascend retrogradely
T11-L1 with descending SNS fibers of ovarian plexus
visceral afferent reflex
PARASYMPATHETIC thru uterine (pelvic) plexus and pelvic splanchnic nerves S2-S4
what do pelvic splanchnic nerves carry
PARASYMPATHETIC
tubal (ectopic) pregnancy
embryo increases blood supply demands so increased blood flow and large amounts of bleeding
tubal ligation and sterilization
permanent and surgical method of BC
remove uterine tubes
blood supply of uterus
uterine artery
branch of internal iliac artery
venous drainage uterus
plexus in broad ligament that drains into uterine veins
INTERNAL ILIAC VEINS
lymphatic drainage uterus
iliac, sacral, aortic, inguinal
