Lesson 2.1: Female Reproductive System Flashcards
a thin vascularized membrane that separates the vagina from the vestibule.
Hymen
portal to the internal female reproductive tract.
Vagina
6 VIGINAL DISORDERS
(CONGENITAL ANOMALIES)
- Imperforate Hymen
- Hematocolpos
- External Vaginal Atresia
- Bacterial Vaginitis
- Fungal Vaginitis
- Trichomoniasis
(VIGINAL DISORDERS)
most common abnormalities in the development or canalization of the mullerian ducts.
Imperforate Hymen
(VIGINAL DISORDERS)
the entrapment of menstrual flow.
Hematocolpos
(VIGINAL DISORDERS)
thick, fibrous, but not imperforate hymen.
External Vaginal Atresia
(VIGINAL DISORDERS)
overgrowth of normal or pathogenic bacteria that result in irritation.
Bacterial Vaginitis
(VIGINAL DISORDERS)
altered vaginal ecosystem.
Fungal Vaginitis
(VIGINAL DISORDERS)
vaginal walls are red and edematous with small petechial hemorrhages.
Trichomoniasis
situated at the lower portion of the bladder and passing downward and forward beneath the symphysis.
Female Urethra
3 MAIN PARTS OF THE URETHRA
- Upper Portion – Fundus
- Middle Portion – Body
- Lower Portion – Cervix
3 LAYERS OF THE URETHRA
Outer Layer – Perimetrium
Middle Layer - Myometrium
Inner Layer – Endometrium
cylindric, slightly expanded, in its middle and about 2.5cm in length
Cervix
4 PARTS OF THE CERVIX
- Canal
- Endocervical Mucosa
- Cervical Wall
- 1/3 Anterior Surface & 1/2 Posterior Surface
(PARTS OF THE CERVIX)
spindled shaped and open into the vagina.
Canal
(PARTS OF THE CERVIX)
raised in a series of palmate folds.
Endocervical Mucosa
(PARTS OF THE CERVIX)
more fibrous than that of the corpus.
Cervical Wall
(PARTS OF THE CERVIX)
constitute the Vaginal portion.
1/3 Anterior Surface & 1/2 Posterior Surface
4 PHASES OF MENSTRUAL CYCLE
- Flow Phase
- Follicular Phase
- Ovulation
- Luteal Phase
Day 1-5, phase when the endometrial lining sheds.
Flow Phase
Day 6-13, phase when follicles are developed.
Follicular Phase
Day 14, egg burst from ovary into oviduct.
Ovulation
Day 15-28, phase when estrogen and progesterone are secreted to the Corpus Luteum.
Luteal Phase
2 UTERINE DISORDERS
- Prolapse
- Perforation
descent of the uterus down the vaginal canal.
Prolapse
spontaneous rupture of the uterus.
- Perforation
5 CERVIX DISORDER
- Laceration
- Strictures
- Polyps
- Cervicitis I
- Cervicitis II
(CERVIX DISORDER)
fleshy tumors
Polyps
(CERVIX DISORDER)
exposure of mucous gland in the endocervical canal.
Cervicitis I
(CERVIX DISORDER)
are gonorrhea chlamydial infections caused by Chlamydia Trachomatis
Cervicitis II
