M1: Anatomy of Female Repro Flashcards
Anterior to perineum
Pubic symphysis
Diamond shaped. Inferior to pelvic outlet. Pelvic diaphragm separates from pelvic cavity.
Perineum
Anterolateral to perineum
Inferior pubic rami & ischial rami
Lateral to perineum
Ischial tuberosity
Posterolateral to perineum
Sacrotuberous ligament
Inferior to perineum
Sacrum & coccyx
Fibro fatty cushion. Anterior and superior to the symphysis pubis(bony fibrocartilage). Divides & joins labia majora. Covered by hair, triangle-shaped.
Mons pubis
Sweat and sebaceous gland, few specialized apocrine glands. Round ligament attachment. Venous plexus, trauma then hematoma.
Labia majora
Homologue of labia majora
Scrotum
Pain felt at the vulva when the baby kicks may be due to what
Round ligament being hit
Force applied to the perineum as manifested by a lump on the area affected
Saddle Injury
Hematoma on the labia majora can also be caused by
Deep lacerations not properly repaired, breech and forceps delivery
Smaller and more delicate. No hair. Sebaceous glands and a few sweat glands. Richly vascular & many nerve endings. Divide the superior & inferior parts.
Labia minora
Superior to labia minora
Prepuce & Frenulum
Inferior to the labia minora
Fourchette
Homologue of labia minora
Penile urethra
Tested when an examiner cannot retract the vaginal orifice d/t hypoestrogenic state. Usually occurs in young age and post menopausal women, treated by estrogenic creams. Caused by infections that are not properly treated that heal to and fuse together.
Labial Agglutination
Vascular plexus(erectile tissue) central corpus with two crura (_________) inferior rami of the pubis. 1.5-2cm Highly developed nerve supply & extremely sensitive.
Clitoris. Corpora cavernosa.
Muscle cover of clitoris
Ischiocavernosus muscle
Muscle root of clitoris
Bulbospongiosus muscle
For assessment of ambiguous genitalia, you have to _______ the clitoris to look for a vaginal opening for sex confirmation.
Retract
Enclosed by labia majora. Urethra, vagina, paired bartholin & skenes glands. Lower part of the urogenital sinus. _______ position is Bartholins gland.
Vestibule. 5/7
Smooth and palpable upon palpation. It is usually treated by incision & drainage then suturing is done.
Bartholin’s cyst or abscess
Bouncy upon palpation
Imperforate hymen
Commonly termed as the virginal hymen
Annular hymen
May signify that there is a forced penetration
Presence of lacerations (erythematous, not perfectly round)
After sexual assault it appears ________, ________ and may be seem with _______.
Edematous. Erythematous. Blood.
Has hymenal tags evidence of having delivered through NSD.
Parous introitus hymen
Urinary orifice. 1-1.5cm below the clitoris. Covered by labia minora. Pink & not protuberant.
Urethral meatus
Protuberant & erythematous urethral meatus
Urethral prolapse
Membranous tube. 3-5cm. Two lining epithelium depending on location.
Urethra
Proximal 2/3 of urethra
Stratified transitional epithelium
Distal 1/3 of urethra
Stratified squamous epithelium
In females, in insertion of FC, it is enough that a primary healthcare provider should insert up until _______ knowing the fact that the urethral canal of a woman is usually ________.
3-5cm. 4-5cm.
Fibromuscular tube. Posterior wall is 9cm while anterior wall is 7cm. Walls are apposed by cervix. Vaginal vault has 4 fornices (posterior, anterior & two lateral) mucosal and muscular layer. Functions for sexual intercourse, labor and menstrual flow.
Vagina
Anterior peritoneal reflection of the ________ and upper posterior vaginal wall.
Pouch of Douglas
Separates middle third of vagina from rectum
Rectovaginal septum
Midline of the vagina
Urethra
Anterior to vagina
Bladder
Vagina opens into the
Vestibule
Lateral part of the vagina is for the attachment of the
Cardinal ligaments
Whitish secretion in the vagina. Normal or not?
Still normal
By the virtue of gravity any discharge from the cervix will pool on the posterior fornix, the peritoneal cavity could be accessed theough the posterior fornix which when punctures will lead to the
Pouch of Douglas
Two triangles of the perineum
Anal & Urogenital triangle
Stretches between the two sides of the pubic arch and covers the anterior part of the oulet
Perineal membrane
Is an irregular fibromuscular mass located between the anal canal and the perineal membrane
Perineal body
Contains the external genitalia in females. Posterior portion.
Urogenital triangle
Origin of urogenital triangle
Urogenital sinus
