Module 8: Female Reproductive System Flashcards
what hormones are produced by the ovaries?
estrogen and progesterone
anovulatory
ovaries are unable to produce and mature eggs, or ovum
nulligravida
never been pregnant
the empty gradian folic that secretes progesterone after release of the egg cell is called
corpus luteum
the vascular organ that serves as a bridge between maternal and fetal bloodstreams is the
placenta
another tern for pregnant is
gestation
rapture of the ovarian folicil with subsequent release of the ovum from the ovary is called
ovulation
the human organism from about 8 weeks to birth is called a
fetus
the two small, rounded exocrine glands on either side of the vaginal opening that produce a lubricating mucus secretion are the
bartholin glands
a urine pregnancy test detects the presence of
human chorionic gonadotropin
myometrium
muscular middle layer of the uterus
episi/o
vulva
hyster/o
uterus
menarche
beginning of the first menstrual period
the lower necklace portion of the uterus is the
cervix
the amnion is the
innermost membranous sac surrounding the developing fetus
tubes that carry milk within the breast are called
lactiferous ducts
the area between the anus and the vagina is the
perineum
the branch of medicine concerned with pregnant and childbirth is
obstetrics
a fertilized egg is called an
zygote
a condition that can occur during or shortly after pregnancy and is marked by high blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema is called
preeclampsia
collections of fluid within a sac in the ovaries is called
fibroids
the chromosomal abnormality that results in mental retardation and an increased risk for certain medical conditions is
down syndrome
what term describes a narrowing of the opening of the stomach to the duodenum?
pyloric stenosis
a condition is caused by a lack of protein in the lining go the neonate’s lung tissue
infant respiratory distress syndrome
infection with HPV is a strong risk factor for
cervical cancer
a disease that most often occurs in menopausal women
endometrial carcinoma
the medical term for the condition of endometrial tissue located outside the uterus is
endometriosis
benign tumors in the uterus are called
leiomyomas
the term for a malignant tumour of the ovary is
cystadenocarcinoma
a neonatal condition caused by blood group incompatibility between mother and fetus is
erythroblastosis fetalis
pelvic exenteration
surgical removal of pelvic organs
myomectomy
excision of fibroids from the uterus
Pap smear
microscopic examination of a sample of stained cervical and vaginal cells used to detect abnormalities
for this procedure, the surgeon uses a microscopic three dimension view and a control console to remove the uterus using small incisions
robotic hysterectomy
the diagnostic imaging procedure that used sound waves to make images as the waves bounce off organs in the pelvic region is
pelvis ultrasonography
colp/o
vagina
the withdrawal of fluids from a cavity or sac with an instrument using suction is called
aspiration
this diagnostic surgical procedure may be accomplished with a loop electrocautery excision procedure (LEEP)
ionization
what procedure test placental tissue for prenatal diagnosis?
chronic virus sampling
what is the term for the procedure in which the surgeon removes as much of the ovarian adenocarcinoma as possible?
debulking
endometriosis
a condition in which the inner tissue lining of the uterus proliferates and is transferred to sites outside the uterine cavity
the medical term for after birth is
placenta
what hormone is responsible for buildup of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle?
progesterone
immediately after conception, the fertilized egg is called an
zygote
a system for scoring an infant’s physical condition to determine the need for immediate intervention is called
Apgar scoring
finger-like projections on the outer end of Fallopian tubes that help move the ovum toward the uterus are
fimbraie
the premature separation of the implanted placenta is called
abruptio placentae
the hormone that promotes ovulation is
luteinizing hormone
the term that means sexual intercouse is
coitus
another word for opening is
orfice
