46
Q

A

7-12cm tubes extending from cornu of uterus within the broad ligaments to the adnexa.
Means for fertilization and transportation to uterus

47
Q
A
48
Q

Fallopian tube cilia

A

Tiny, hair like structures inside tubes that move back and forth to aid the movement of the fertilized ovum

49
Q

Interstitial segment

A

Most proximal segment of fallopian tube, where tube attaches to uterus cornu

50
Q

Isthmus segment

A

“Bridge” that connects the interstitial segment to the ampulla segment of the fallopian tube

51
Q

Ampulla segment

A

Longest and most tortuous segment of the fallopian tube
most common location of fertilization and ectopics

52
Q

Infundibulum segment

A

Distal and widest portion of fallopian tube with fimbria at the end

53
Q

Fimbria

A

Fingerlike extensions of infundibulum that draw unfertilized egg into tube

54
Q

Ovaries

A

Paired, intraperitoneal ENDOcrine organs
Supported laterally of uterus by ovarian ligaments and laterally of pelvic walls by suspensory ligaments

55
Q

Hormones produced by ovaries

A

Estrogen and Progesterone as response to FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone)

56
Q

Outer cortex of ovaries

A

Site of oogenesis/follicles

57
Q

Medulla of ovaries

A

Site of vasculature and lymphatics

58
Q

Ovarian response to FSH

A

Follicles develop–> Graafian follicle matures–> thecal cells of follicle produce estrogen–> ovum found inside cumulus oophorus of dominant follicle–> ovulation in 36 hours

59
Q

Ovarian response to LH

A

Graafian ruptured and replaced by corpus luteum–> corpus luteum releases progesterone–> corpus luteum regresses and replaced with corpus albicans

60
Q

Hormone release order during menstrual cycle

A

Gonadotropin releasing hormone (via hypothalamus) stimulates anterior pituitary gland –> anterior pituitary gland releases FSH –> FSH (via pituitary) stimulates ovaries to develop and mature dominant follicle –> follicles produce estrogen –> dominant follicles mature leading to peak in estrogen –> LH surge released (via pituitary) –> stimulates rupture of dominant follicle (AKA ovulation) –> ruptured follicle = corpus luteum and releases PROGESTERONE and some estrogen

61
Q

Estrogen affect on endometrium

A

Thickens endometrium

62
Q

Progesterone affect on endometrium

A

Maintains and prepares endometrium for implantation

63
Q

NO pregnancy affects on endometrium

A

Endometrium slough off and menses begin due to drop in progesterone levels

64
Q

Follicular phase days 1-14

A

-FSH stimulates follicle development
-Dominant follicle matures to ~2.5-2.7cm until ovulation
-Follicles release estrogen

65
Q

Menstrual phase days 1-5

A

Menses and shredding of endometrium

66
Q

Early proliferative phase days ~6-10

A

-Immediately following menses
-Thin, echogenic endometrium
-Endo no more than 4mm

67
Q

Late proliferative phase days
~10-14

A

-Endo will reach 6-10mm
-“Three line sign” (echogenic basal layer surrounding hypoechoic functional layer)

68
Q

Ovulation day 14

A

-LH surge ruptures dominant follicle releasing ovum
-FF possibly seen in post CDS
occurs 14 days prior to start of next menstrual cycle

69
Q

Luteal phase days 15-28

A

-Graafian follicle becomes corpus luteum producing progesterone to maintain endo thickness
NO fertilization by day 28 = regression of CL cyst

70
Q

Secretory phase

A

-Progesterone maintains thickness for implantation
-Endo thick and echogenic 7-16mm
-Progesterone drop = begin menses

71

Para

A

74
Q

Primary amenorrhea

A

Failure to have menses by age 16; never reached menarche

75
Q

Secondary amenorrhea

A

Menses stopped

76
Q

C-section scar/defect

A

Fluid or separation of c-section scar

77
Q

C-section dehiscence

A

Myometrial walls are separating

78
Q

Dehiscence

A

A partial or total separation of previously approximated wound edges, due to a failure of proper wound healing

79
Q

Intrauterine device (IUD)

A

-Device that prevents implantation of fertilized ovum
-Echogenic linear echo with posterior shadowing or reverberation within endometrial cavity

80
Q

< or equal to 8mm

81
Q

88
Q

High resistance doppler

A

Less diastole, less volume flow

89
Q

Lower resistance doppler

A

More diastole, more volume flow

90
Q

Ovarian doppler during menstrual and early proliferative phase

A

*most accurate time especially in presence of mass

91
Q

Ovarian doppler during mid cycle and luteal

A

Lower resistance

92
Q
