OBGYN I, Underlined Flashcards
What is the Chadwick sign?
Early blue tint to the cervix
What is goodell sign
Cervical softening due to edema
Can be an early sign of pregnancy
What is Hegarsign
Isthmus (uteral) softening
What is the ecto cervix covered by
Squamous cell epithelium
What is the Endo cervix covered by
Columnar epithelium
What are the bilateral MUSCULAR tubes that connect the uterus to the ovaries
Fallopian tubes
What type of cell lines the Fallopian tubes
Ciliated columnar
What is the most common site of ovarian cancer ?
The outer layer of the ovaries covered by epithelium
What are the most favorable hip formations for vaginal delivery
Gynecoid and anthropoid
What are the two least favorable pelvic formations for vaginal delivery
Android and Platypelloid
What is Mcroberts maneuver ?
Not underlined, but leg hyper flexion to assist in vaginal delivery for should dystocia
When do the “primordial follicles” develop in utero
At 16 weeks, gonadal cords/ Cortical cords break into cell clusters called primordial follicles
Do any oogonia form postnatally?
No
What is the hormone that suppress the formation of the uterus and uterine/ Fallopian tubes in utero
MIH/ AMH
What are the paramesonephric structures
Fallopian tubes, uterus and UPPER third of the vagina
If there is an arrest of development of utero vaginal primordium at 8 weeks what structures would not form properly?
Paramesonephric structures: Fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper third of vagina
What is the etiology of a double uterus ?
Failed fusion of the inferior paramesonephric ducts
May have single or double vagina
What is the etiology of a bicornuate uterus?
Duplication of ONLY the SUPERIOR part of the body of the uterus
Can be complete or partial
What is the etiology with a bicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn ?
Slowed growth of 1 paramesonephric duct
- does not fuse w/ 2nd duct
Rudimentary horn may not connect w/ uterine cavity
What is the etiology of a septate uterus ?
Normal outer uterine appearance, divided internally by thin septum
Failure of resorption
Define ovotesticular DXD
When ovarian tissue AND testicular tissue is found in either same gonads or opposite gonads
Can happen in 46XX or XY
The external genitalia with ALWAYS be ambiguous
Define 46XX DSD
Ovaries present and normal, but ambiguous external genitalia
Female fetal exposure to excess androgens = external genital virilization
Clitoral hypertrophy, partial fusion of labia majora, persistent urogenital sinus
2/2 CAH (most common cause)
What is the most common cause to 46XX DSD
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Define 46 XY DSD
Inadequate virilization of the male fetus
2/2 defects in synthesis of testosterone
Disorder of testicular development
Presents with variable development of external and internal genitalia
2/2 inadequate production of testosterone and MIS by the fetal testes
Define Androgen Insenitivity Sydrome (AIS)
Normal external female genitalia; presence of testes & 46XY
Testes located in abdomen or inguinal canals
Pt is resistant to testosterone
At puberty will have normal development of breasts with no femal characteristics
NO MENSES
Can have ambiguous genitalia (partial)
2/2 point mutations in the sequence codes for androgen receptors
What is the increase Dz RSK for pts with AIS and what is the treatment approach to prevent it?
Developing malignancy By age 50
So testes are removed upon Dx
What is the big difference between AIS and 46 XY DSD
AIS has normal appearing female genitalia;
46XY ovotesticular DSD external genitalia potentially more ambiguous
A pt presetns with anosmia and poorly defines 2nd sex characteristics
With a LOW FSH, and LH
Think what syndomre
Kallman
What is 47XXY ?
Klinefelters
Low T, elevated FSH? LH
Micropenis, crytorchid
What is 45XO
Turners Syndrome
Elevated FSH/LH
Low Estrogen
“Streak gonads”
Webbed neck, low hairline, short
What is spermatogenesis
Taking primordial germ cells and making spermatids
Producing 4 mature mobile sperm from every primary spermatocyte
What is spermiogenesis
The conversion of the actual sperm
The LAST phase of spermatogensis
What is the time frame and location of spermiogenisis
2 month process + 1 month maturation
Located in the seminiferous tubules
What is the acrosome
Anterior 2/3 of the head of the sperm
Contains the enzymes to penetrate the zona pellucid a and dispersion of follicular cells of the corona radiata
What portion of the sperm contains the mitochondria
The middle of the sperm tail
What is “sperm capacitation”
Happens post ejaculation and is the process by which sperm acquire the ability to fertilize the ova
What is the function of the prostaglandins in semen
Stimulate uterine motility at time of intercourse
Aid in movement to site of fertilization in ampulla
Define the proliferative phase
Estrogen proliferates the endometrial glands
And endometrial growth is maximized
Define the secretory phase
PROGESTERONE produced by the corpus luteum stimulates the secretion of glycogen and mucus
Glands become tortuous and dilated
What is the effect of estrogen on the mucus during ovulation
Since there is high estrogen at ovulation
There is an increase in the amount of mucus that is more alkaline, with a low viscosity
FERNING appearance
What is the effect of progesterone on cervical mucus
Makes it thick and cellular
Otherwise at ovulation the mucus looks fern like
What is the differnce between an acrosomal reaction and a zona reaction
Acrosomal reaction: enzymatic penetration of zona pellucida
Zona reaction: change in solubility and binding of zona pellucida
- ovum now impermeable to other sperm
What is the stage of the fertilized egg that implants in the uterus
The blastocyst
What are the 2 cell layers of the blastocyst
Embryoblast forms embryo, amnion, umbilical cord
Trophoblast (chorion) forms placenta
-Produces hCG
What is the maternal component of the placenta
The decidua
What are the three portions of the decidua
The basalis, the capsularis, and the parietalis
Billows trophoblasts (growth support) become…
Chorionic villi
anchoring support
Define placenta accreta
When nitabuchs layer adheres to the myometrium
This is not good
Define placenta increta
When nitabuchs layer INVADES the myometrium
Really really not good
Define placenta percreta
When the placenta perforates THROUGH the myometrium
This is REALLY really bad
