Lecture 23: Female Reproductive Tract Flashcards
Embryonic development
Also tell me about the ovarian decent
No testosterone, no Mullerian inhibiting factor (MIF) =
➡Mesonephric duct regresses
➡Paramesonephric (Mullerian) duct progresses to form uterine tubes, uterus and cervix. Side 4
Ovarian decent:
-ovaries descend from posterior abdominal wall to a point just inferior to the pelvic brim
-they DO NOT pass through the inguinal canal at any point
-tethered by gubernaculum slide 5
-the cranial gubernaculum becomes ovarian ligament
-caudal (lower) gubernaculum forms the ROUND LIGAMENT OF UTERUS
-ovaries are just inferior to the pelvic brim
-intra-peritoneal
-media
To external iliac blood vessels-posterior to uterus
-anterior to internal iliac vessels
Learn slide 7
Sex is programmed at conception but not visible until weeks ____or development?
Paramesonphrenic (Mullerian) duct gives rise to:
Weeks 8-9
- uterine tubes
- uterus
- cervix
Learn the external development- slide 9
External development:
Aren’t differentiated until the 12th week
Urethral folds➡ labia minors
Labioscrotal folds➡ labia majora
Learn the image on slide 9 and muscles on slide 10
Also what does the pudendal nerve provide motor and sensory innervation to?
Muscles and skin of the Peronism
Bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus. What are they what do they do? What are they innervated by?
-muscles that maintain erection of penis or coitoris by compressing out-floe of veins and pushing blood from root to body of erectile organ.
Innervated by deep branch of perineal nerve (branch of pudendal nerve)
Tell me about the clitoral erection ie innervation and blood supply
Innervation: dorsal nerve of clitoris (branch of PUDENDAL)
Blood supply: internal pudendal artery (branch of INTERNAL ILIAC)
Tell me the innervation of the external genitalia
And know how to label slide 14 and 15
What dermatome is the vaginal area?
What’s the major nerve and two of its branches?
What innervates the mons pubis and labia majora?
What innervates the skin above the pubis?
S3 dermatome
Pudendal nerve
-posterior labial branch
-perineal nerve
Ilioinguinal nerve:
-mons pubis and labia majors
Genitofemoral nerve
-mons pubis and labia majora
Iliohypogastric nerve
-skin above the pubis
Slide 14 learn the shit out of it babes
Be able to label the topography on slide 16 and the pelvic peritoneum (superior view) on slide 17, and peritoneal pouches on slide 18
Do it
The uterus is ______ to the urinary bladder
The Uterus is _____ to vesicouterine pouch and____ to rectouterine pouch
-round ligament enters inguinal canal and inserts into _____
The uterus is __(posterosuperior)____ to the urinary bladder
The Uterus is _(posterior)____ to vesicouterine pouch and__(anterior)__ to rectouterine pouch
-round ligament enters inguinal canal and inserts into _(mons pubis)____
Sagittal view of the female reproductive tract slide 20
Study it.
Study slide 21 and 22 and 23 and 25
Do it
We’re does fertilisation normally take place?
Ampulla
What are the 3 layers of the uterine wall?
- Perimetrium: visceral peritoneum
- Myometrium: thick muscular
- Endometrium: mucosal
2 main layers:
- Stratum functionalis “functional layer”
- Stratum basal is “basal layer”
What is the blood supply of the uterine wall?
Accurate artery
Uterine artery which is a branch of the internal iliac artery. The vaginal artery also branches of the uterine artery
Learn the cyclical changes on slide 29
