Q

What is the arterial supply to the ovaries?

A

The aorta directly supplies both ovaries, contained in the suspensory ligaments to the ovaries

36
Q

What is the venous drainage of the ovaries?

A

Ovaries –> vena cava on the right;

On the left - adrenal, renal and ovarian vein come together before entering the vena cava

37
Q

What is a complete molar pregnancy?

A

Complete molar pregnancies have only placental parts (there is no baby), and form when the sperm fertilizes an empty egg. Because the egg is empty, no baby is formed. The placenta grows and produces the pregnancy hormone, hCG. Unfortunately, an ultrasound will show that there is no fetus, only a placenta.

38
Q

What is a partial molar pregnancy?

A

Partial Mole occurs when the mass contains both the abnormal cells and an embryo that has severe birth defects. In this case the fetus will be overcome by the growing abnormal mass rather quickly.
