24
Q

What is the perimetrium?

A

The outermost layer of connective tissue

25
Q

What is the myometrium?

A

The middle and thickest layer of smooth muscle

26
Q

Why is the myometrium the thickest layer?

A

For contractions during childbirth

27
Q

What is the endometrium?

A

The innermost layer of columnar epithelium, uterine glands and arteries. This is the layer that grows and sheds during menstrual cycles

28
Q

What is the cervix?

A

A canal that provides passage between the uterine cavity and vagina, consists of three parts

29
Q

What are the three parts of the cervix?

A

The external os, cervical canal, internal os

30
Q

What does the cervix produce?

A

Cervical mucus to protect against infection and regulate sperm transport

31
Q

What is the vagina?

A

A fibromuscular, distensible female copulatory organ that functions as par of the birth canal

32
Q

Where is the vagina?

A

Between the urinary bladder and rectum. It extends from the perineum to the cervix

33
Q

What is the blood supply to the ovaries?

A

Ovarian arteries

34
Q

What is the blood supply to the uterus?

A

Uterine artery

35
Q

What is the blood supply to the vagina?

A

Vaginal artery

36
Q

What are the branches off the urtrine artery?

A

The arcuate and radial arteries

37
Q

What are the branches off the radial arteries?

A

Spiral and straight arteries

38
Q

What happens to the spiral artery?

A

It is remodelled during pregnancy and makes up the bulk of period blood

39
Q

What are the ovaries?

A

The female gonads, are bilateral structures that sit lateral and posterior to the uterus, within the lateral portion of the true pelvic cavity

40
Q

What are the two components of the ovary?

A

The outer cortex and inner medulla

41
Q

What is the outer cortex made from?

A

Follicles

42
Q

What is in the inner medulla made from?

A

Connective tissue, blood/lymphatic vessels and nerves

43
Q

What occurs in the ovarys?

A

Oogenesis and hormone production

44
Q

Where do oocytes develop?

A

Within the follicles of the cotrex

45
Q

What are the major ligaments of the female reproductive system?

A

The suspensory ligament, ovarian ligament, round ligament and broad ligament

46
Q

What is the suspensory ligament?

A

A thin fold of the parietal peritoneum which attaches to the lateral margin of the ovary and extends to the lateral pelvic sidewall

47
Q

What is the ovarian ligament?

A

A fibrous band of tissue that connects the ovary to the side of the uterus

48
Q

What is the round ligament?

A

Wraps around uterine tube

49
Q

What is the broad ligament?

A

Peritoneum that folds and pressed over structures to create other ligaments

50
Q

What are the ligaments created by the broad ligament?

A

Mesometrium, mesosalpinx and mesovarium

51
Q

What is the mesometrium?

A

The largest part of the broad ligament, a double-layered fold of the peritoneum that connects behind the uterus

52
Q

What is the mesosalpinx?

A

The fold of peritoneum that encloses and supports the uterine tube

53
Q

What is the mesovarium?

A

The portion of the broad ligament of the uterus that connects behind the ovaries

54
Q

Where does the uterus lie?

A

Posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum

55
Q

What is formed between the uterus and bladder?

A

Vesicouterine pouch

56
Q

What is formed between the uterus and rectum?

A

Rectouterine pouch aka the pouch of douglas

57
Q

What are the breasts?

A

Composed of glands and fat that lie on the pectoralis major muscles and function to nourish infants

58
Q

What is the structure of the breast?

A

Lobes form lobules that form alveoli -> lactiferous ducts -> lactiferous sinuses that open at nipple pores

59
Q

What supports the glands in the breast?

A

Suspensory ligaments
