2.rectouterine pouch
3.ovary
4.uterine tube
5.uterovesical pouch
6.urinary badder
7.urethra
is uterus intra or retroperitoneal
intra
what pouches are formed by peritoneum in F pelvic cavity
uterovesical pouch and rectouterine
lowest point in peritoneal cavity in F
rectouterine pouch
1.ovarian ligament
2.fimbriae
3.infundibulum
4.ampulla
5.isthmus
ovaries
produce ovum and E and P
which ligament holds ovaries in place
1.ligament of the ovary
2.suspensory ligament
3.mesovarium
ligament of the ovary
attaches inferior pole of ovary to lateral wall of uterus
suspensory ligament
double layer fold of peritoneum that attaches superior pole of ovary to posterior abdo wall. carries oarian vessels/nerves
mesovarium
double layer fold of peritoneum btw anterior border ovary and posterior layer broad ligament. carries vessels/nerves from broad ligament into ovary via hilum
uterine tubes
connect uterine cavity to peritoneal cavity. carries sperm toward ovaries, or fertilized egg toward uterine cavity.
=infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, uterine part
infunidbulum
lateral end of tube, hangs over ovary. has finbriae which attach to ovary
collects released ovum
ampulla
most dilated part of uterine tube. forms lateral 2/3
isthmus
narrowest part of uterine tube. forms the medial 1/3
uterine part (intramural) uterine tube
passes thru thickness of uterine wall, opens into cavity
uterus parts
fundus: superior to entrance of uterine tubes
body: middle part. distal third of it is the isthmus
3.cervix: btw isthmus and vagina
internal os
opening from uterine cavity to cervical canal
external ox
cervical canal opens to vagina thru this
anteversion angle
angle btw axis of cervix and axis of vagina
anteflexion angle
angle btw axis of uterine body and axis of cervix
ligaments of uterus
- broad
- round
- transverse (cervical)
4.pubocervical
5.uterosacral
