Final A&P II Flashcards
4 stages of labor
Early Labor: labor pains
Active Labor: 10cm dilation, effacement
Fetal Birth: crowning, fetal expulsion
Placental Delivery
Simple squamous epithelium
- usually allows filtration or rapid diffusion; thin permeable barrier
• serous membranes: pleurae, pericardium and peritoneum alveoli of the lungs
• endocardium of the heart endothelium of the blood vessels
Stratified squamous epithelium
-multiple layers; protects from friction and abrasion
• mouth
• oropharynx
• laryngopharynx
• esophagus
• anus
vagina
Simple cuboidal epithelium:
absorption and secretion of small solutes such as glucose and ions
nephrons: differences among cells of the proximal and distal tubules
Simple columnar epithelium
-allows absorption and secretion of large molecules- proteins, mucus
• stomach, small and large intestines
• endometrium of the uterus (uterine glands secrete uterine “milk”)
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium mixed with goblet cells-
(“Respiratory epithelium”)
• nasal cavity
• nasopharynx
• trachea
• bronchi
Goblet cells:
modified simple columnar cells that secrete mucus
Podocytes:
modified epithelial cells that help form the glomerular capsule of the nephron with small extensions that help in the filtration process
Blood Flow
Starting right atrium
To right ventricle
To pulmonary trunk
To lungs (pulmonary circuit)-oxygenated
Left side of the heart four pulmonary veins
Left atrium
To left ventricle
To aorta
To body (systemic circuit)
To superior vena cava (SVC) Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) coronary sinus
4 Heart Valves
Atrioventricular Valves
Semilunar Valves
Atrioventricular Valves
Right AV valve (tricuspid) prevents regurgitation of blood back into the right atrium
Left AV valve (bicuspid or mitral) prevents regurgitation of blood back in to the left atrium
Semilunar Valves separate each ventricle from the blood vessel (artery) into which it ejects
Right SL valve (pulmonary)
Left SL valve (aortic)
The AV valves are already open and the ventricles are partially filled with blood BEFORE the atria contract
TRUE
What receives oxygen-poor blood from the superior and inferior venae cavae and coronary sinus (posterior side)
Right Atrium
What receives oxygen-rich blood from the left and right pulmonary veins (two from each lung)
Left Atrium
Oxygen-rich blood returns through the?
Left and right pulmonary veins (from the lungs) and enters the LA
The right atrium receives blood from which of the following vessels
Superior Vena Cava
Inferior Vena Cava
Coronary Sinus
The atria contract when ventricles are
80% filled
Completes the filling of the ventricles
2 Circuits of Blood
REPLIES
Right Pulmonary
Left Systemic
Pulmonary Circuit (right side pump) pumps blood to the lungs
Systemic Circuit (left side pump) pumps blood to the body
Pulmonary Circulation
From body to heart to lungs
Vessels, chambers and valves as blood travels from the body to heart to lungs
The real master endocrine gland
Hypothalamus
Used to be the anterior pituitary
Testosterone
Travels in blood to other body sites, stimulates maturation of male genitalia, development of secondary sex characteristics
GnRH gonadotropin releasing hormone from hypothalamus,stimulates secretion of FSH & LH from anterior pituitary, gonads, estrogen progesterone and testosterone
Spermatogenis
What hormones provoke GnRH
Neurohormones from the hypothalamus control the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones, the anterior pituitary secretes tropic hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands to secrete their hormones-estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis
Males
Regulated only by negative feedback
↑ GnRH leads to ↑ FSH and LH which lead to ↑ spermatogenesis and ↑ testosterone production
When sperm count and testosterone levels are sufficient, then GnRH FSH and LH secretion decrease back to normal
Hypothalamic-Pituitary Gonadal Axis
Females
Regulated by negative and positive feedback
↑ GnRH secretion from hypothalamus leads first to ↑ FSH and development of a dominant oocyte
Estrogen from oocyte stimulates proliferation of the uterine lining
High estrogen levels trigger high LH secretion which triggers ovulation and development of a corpus luteum
Progesterone from the corpus luteum stimulates secretory phase in the uterus
The Uterine Cycle 3 phases
Secretion of estrogen and progesterone from the ovaries during the ovarian cycle promote the monthly changes seen in the endometrium of the uterus during the uterine (menstrual) cycle
Menstrual Phase
Proliferative Phase
Secretory Phase
Menstrual Phase
Days 1-5 functional layer of endometrium is shed, bleeding occurs
Estrogen and progesterone levels drop when corpus luteum dies. Stratum Functionale of endometrium is shed. Bleeding occurs
Proliferation Phase
Days 6-14 endometrium regrows
Estrogen from the dominant follicle stimulates endometrium to regrow.
Secretory Phase
Days 15-28 endometrium secretes nutrients and expands its blood supply to prepare for implantation
Progesterone from the corpus luteum stimulates increased blood supply.
Stimulates glands to secrete “uterine milk” to prepare for the implantation of a oocyte
Early follicular phase: GnRH stimulates FSH and LH STEP 1
A new ovarian cycle begins on Day 1 (early follicular phase)
(RECALL: Day 1 is the same in the ovarian and uterine cycles: First day of menstruation)
- GnRH secretion from the hypothalamus stimulates FSH and LH secretion from the anterior pituitary
Early and mid Follicular Phase: FSH and LH target the follicles Step 2
- FSH stimulates several follicles to grow
Granulosa cells secrete estrogens
LH stimulates thecal cells to secrete androgens which are converted into estrogens
RESULTS: Estrogen levels rise and become slightly elevated
One of the follicles is becoming dominant
Early and midfollicular phases: negative feedback inhibits FSH, LH release
Step 3
- When estrogen level is slightly elevated there is negative feedback control
Estrogen inhibits GnRH, LH, FSH secretion
Inhibin from the follicle inhibits FSH secretion
Decrease in FSH means only the dominant follicle will develop further
Prevents premature ovulation
Slightly elevated estrogen and rising inhibin levels inhibit FSH secretion
Late Follicular Phase Positive feedback stimulates LH, FSH Surges
Step 4
- Dominant follicle is now secreting a high level of estrogen
Control switches to positive feedback
High estrogen levels trigger a large LH surge and a smaller FSH surge
Ovulatory and Luteal phases: LH surge
Triggers ovulation; formation of corpus luteum
Step 5
- LH surge
Occurs around Day 14
Triggers two events:
a. Ovulation
Oocyte is released and will be drawn into the uterine tube
b. Formation of the corpus luteum:
Ruptured follicle is transformed into a corpus luteum
Luteal phase begins
Corpus luteum now secretes progesterone and estrogen and inhibin
Luteal phase: Negative Feedback inhibits LH FSH release
Step 6
- Negative feedback resumes
Corpus luteum secretes progesterone, estrogen and inhibin, which inhibit GnRH, LH and FSH secretion
Prevents further LH surges and ovulation of additional oocytes
When the corpus luteum dies, GnRH, LH and FSH secretion start to increase.
New follicular phase begins.
Corpus luteum
Develops from the ruptured follicle, secretes progesterone and estrogen
Degenerates and forms a corpus albicans (scar tissue)
Ectopic Pregnancy
Tubal, Interstitial (fundic), cervical
Implantation occurs somewhere other than the uterus
Uterus Histology
Inner surface is simple columnar epithelium
Bartholin Glands
Are analogous to the bulbourethal glands in the male (produces thick, clear mucus to lubricate spongy urethra during sexual arousal)
Penis Anatomy shaft-3 cylindrical columns of erectile tissue
Corpus Cavernosa-2 large columns on the dorsal aspect of the penis shaft
Corpus spongiosum-1 small column along the ventral aspect of the shaft that surrounds the urethra
Erectile tissue:
Spongy network of connective tissue and smooth muscle
Has open vascular caverns that fill with blood during an erection
Inhibin
Corpus luteum secreted and prohibits additional ovulations
