histology of female repro system Flashcards
where is this image taken from
what makes up this structure
what do the letters stand for
ovary
outer cortex and inner vascular medulla
parenchyma contains numberous ovarian follicles in different stages of development
F - follicle
CL - corpeus luteum
M - medulla
H - helicine artery
A - corpus albicans
D - degenerating CL
Ft - fallopian tube
where is this image taken from
identify the labels
secondary follicle
O1 - 1y oocyte
CO - cumulus oophorus
TE - theca externa
ZG - zona granulosa
FA - follicular antrum
T1 - theca interna
where is this image taken from
identify the labels
graffian follicle
O2 - 2y occyte
ZG - zona granulosa
CR - corona radiate
T1 - theca interna
FA - follicular antrum
where is this image taken from and during which phase
identify the labels
endometrium
proliferative phase
C - stratum compactum
S - stratum spongiosum
B - stratum basalis
My - myometrium
F - stratum functionalis
G - endometrial gland
M - mitotic figure
where is this image taken from and during which phase
identify the labels
endometrium
secretory phase
Se - secretions
V - vacuoles
how to tell the difference on histology between endometrium in the proliferative vs secretory phase
proliferative - straight glands
secretory - torturous and dilated glands
where are these images taken from
identify the labels
fallopian tube
M - muscular wall
E - epithelium
ST - supporting tissue
S - serosa
BL - broad ligament
where are these images taken from and during which time
identify the labels
breast
during pregnancy
E - epithelial cells
A - adipose tissue
S - septa
Lo - lobules
where are these images taken from and during which time
identify the labels
breast tissue
lactating
S - septa
key features of ovaries on histology
primordial and developing follicles embedded in ovarian stroma
surface covering of epithelium - mesothelium
corpora lutea and corpora albicantes
key features of fallopian tubes on histology
muscular wall
folded mucosa
ciliated columnar epithelium
key features of uterus on histology
muscular wall - myometrium
lining endometrium - consists of glands and stroma, varies within the menstrual cycle
key features of endocervix on histology
bulk consists of dense fibromuscular stroma
surface has deep clefts lined by simple columnar mucus secretine epithelium
key features of ectocervix on histology
stroma same as for endocervix
stratified squamous non-keratinising surface epithelium
key features of vagina on histology
fibromuscular wall
stratified squamous non-keratinising surface epithelium
