Above the bladder

29
Q

True/ False, the uterus is a muscular organ?

A

True

30
Q

Where does the cervix of the uterus enter?

A

The vagina

31
Q

What is the uterus lines by?(name them)

A

The endometrium
The basal and functional layer

32
Q

Where does the functional layer of the endometrium go through?

A

the uterine cycle

33
Q

What holds organs in place?

A

Ligaments and pelvic floor muscles

34
Q

What can happen as a result of the weakening of the pelvic floor and ligaments?

A

Prolapse

35
Q

What are the phases of the menstruation cycle?

A

Menstrual phase
Proliferative phase
Progestational phase

36
Q

Explain the events of the menstrual phase and what day in the menstruation cycle it takes place.

A

Menstruation: endometrium breaks down (1-5 days)
Follicle matures in ovary; (6-13 days)
endometrium rebuilds

37
Q

Explain the events of the proliferative phase and what day in the menstruation cycle it takes place.

A

Endometrium begins to thicken, ovulation occurs (14 days)

38
Q

Explain the events of the pro gestational phase and what day in the menstruation cycle it takes place.

A

Lining of endometrium develops to receive a possible embryo.

39
Q

How long is the uterine cycle?

A

28 day cycle

40
Q

What happens during the uterine cycle?

A

The endometrium of the uterus is prepared for pregnancy

41
Q

What happens if there is no pregnancy after the uterus is prepared?

A

the endometrium is shed

42
Q

What does endometrial development respond to?

A

female sex hormone levels

43
Q

Which cycle are estrogen and progesterone found?

A

The uterine cycle

44
Q

What produces estrogen?

A

Produced by the ovarian follicles in response to FSH

45
Q

What causes the thickening of the endometrium?

A

Estrogen

46
Q

What produces progesterone?

A

Produced by the corpus luteum in response to LH

47
Q

What causes the further thickening of the endometrium after estrogen?

A

Progesterone

48
Q

What causes the uterine glands to mature and secret mucus? (secretory phase)

A

Progesterone

49
Q

Explain the state of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle, Day 1-5

A

low estrogen and progesterone cause endometrium (uterine lining) to disintegrate, causing menstruation

50
Q

What happens during days 1-5 of the menstrual cycle (in relation to blood)

A

flow of blood (50%, endometrial tissues, cervical mucus and vaginal secretions) through the vagina.

51
Q

What’s happening relating to oestrogen in the proliferative phase (Day 6-13)?

A
  • Estrogen produced by ovarian follicle (stimulated by pituitary)
52
Q

True/ false, the proliferative phase (day 6-13) causes the thinning of the endometrium

A

False, it also contributes to the thickening of the endomitrium.

53
Q

Explain the ovulation process (Day 14)

A

The ovum is released from the ovary and collected by fimbriae of uterine tube

54
Q

Explain what happens during the Secretory Phase (15- 28).

A

-Progesterone secreted by corpus luteum (follicle cells without the eggs)
-develops uterine lining and causes it to release secretions

55
Q

What is a corpus luteum?

A

Follicle cells without the eggs cell

56
Q

True/ false, when there is a pregnancy the uterine lining remains and when there is not it sheds through menstruation.

A

True

57
Q

How of uterine glands support the embryo?

A

Through the placenta

58
Q

What is the vagina lined with?

A

Mucosal lining

59
Q

How does the vagina prevent overgrowth of bacteria?

A

The acidic environment

60
Q

What kind of cells are the uterine glands lined with?

A

Columnar epithelial cells

61
Q

True/ false uterine glands become coiled during the secretory phase

A

true

62
Q

how the study session

A

hopefully good

63
Q

What do the uterine glands do during pregnancy?

A

During pregnancy release substances (In “Uterine MilK”) like glycogen that support the development of the embryo
