A

Ovarian artery and vein (supply and take blood from ovaries)

28
Q

What does the ligament of the ovary connect?

A

Uterus and ovary

29
Q

What does the round ligament connect?

A

uterus to labia majora

30
Q

What does the uterosacral ligament connect?

A

cervix to sacrum

31
Q

What does the transverse/Cardinal ligamaent connect?

A

Cervix to pelvic wall

32
Q

What is the job of the mesosalpinx?

A

Suspends the uterine tube

33
Q

What is the job of the mesovarium?

A

Attaches to ovary and covers ovarian ligament

34
Q

Where is the mesometrium?

A

from lateral pelvic wall to body of uterus

35
Q

*** What is the most common site of fertilization?

A

Ampulla

36
Q

What does the endometrium do?

A

changes throughout menstral cycle, Implantation occurs here

37
Q

What is the myometirum?

A

Muscular layer, contracts during childbirth and menstruation (cramps)

38
Q

What are the external and internal os?

A

Internal os - openin between uterus and cervical canal

External os- opening between cervical canal and vagina

39
Q

What is an ectopic pregnancy?

A

When implantation occurs anywhere other than the uterus

40
Q

What is the normal position of the uterus?

A

anteverted and anteflexed

41
Q

What is a pap smear?

A

samples acquired from the transition zone of the cervix

42
Q

What happens during uterine prolapse?

A

The ligaments that hold the uterus into shape collapse

43
Q

Where is the rectovesical pouch?

A

Between bladder and rectum

44
Q

What are the male external genitalia?

A

testes, penis, epididymis, ductus deferens(vas deferens), ejaculatory ducts, seminal vessicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral gland

45
Q

What do the testes do?

A

Develop spermatozoa and sex hormones

46
Q

What does the epididymis do?

A

Final maturation of sperm

47
Q

What does the ductus deferens do?

A

Tube in spermatic cord transporting sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory ducts in prostate gland

48
Q

What does the penis do?

A

Contains erectile tissue (corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosa) as well as a spongy urethra which is a shared outlet for urine and sperm

49
Q

What do the seminal vesicles do?

A

Gland at the posterior base of bladder, secrete fructose rich seminal fluid (60% of semen)

50
Q

What are the ejaculatory ducts?

A

union of ductus deferens and ducts of seminal vesicles

51
Q

What is the prostate gland?

A

Secretes components of semen (acidic)

52
Q

What is the bulbourethral gland?

A

Secretes alkaline mucus to lubricate the urethra, increased velocity during ejaculation

53
Q

What are the roots of external genitalia anchored to?

A

Perineal membrane

54
Q

What are the muscles in the superficial pouch?

A

Ischiocavernosus
bulbospongiosus
superficial transverse perineal

55
Q

What is the innervation of the superficial pouch?

A

Pudendal nerve (S2-S4)

56
Q

What is in the superficial pouch?

A

root of penis, shaft and body of penis

crura -> corpora cavernosa
bulb -> corpus spongiosum
gland penis
spongy urethra

57
Q

What is the venous plexus surrounding the testicular artery?

A

Pampiniform plexus

58
Q

Where is the gubernaculum in the testis?

A

Inferior pole

59
Q

What is the pathway of the flow of sperm?

A

Seminiferous tubules-> straight tubules -> rete testis -> efferent ductules-> head of epididymis -> body of epididymis -> tail fo epididymis -> d. deferens

SREEDEU
Some Really Educated Elders Don’t Even Understand:
Seminiferous tubules
Rete testis
Efferent ductules
Epididymis
Ductus (vas) deferens
Ejaculatory duct
Urethra

60
Q

What is the pathway of the vas/ductus deferens?

A

Through inguinal canal, passes over epigastric vessels, passes over ureter, in prostate joins with ejaculatory duct of seminal vesicle

61
Q

What is a vasectomy?

A

Cutting the vas deferens , doesn’t stop the production of sperm

62
Q

What are the sympathetic pelvic nerves?

A

Saral splanchnics and hypogastric nerves

63
Q

What are the functions of the sympathetic pelvic nerves?

A

Vasoconstriction, contract internal urethral and anal sphincters, ejaculation

64
Q

What are the parasympathetic pelvic nerves?

A

Pelvic splanchnics (S2-S4)

65
Q

What are the functions of the parasympathetic pelvic nerves?
