OBGYN! Repo Anatomy Flashcards
What are the muscles of the pelvic diaphram
Levator ani
Coccygeus muscle
What is the “HART” line
“Hart Line:” demarcation between skin and mucous membrane on inner surface of labia minora
Outer surface to Hart Line: keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Medial to Hart Line: nonkeratinized squamous epithelium
Where are bartholin glands
4 and 8 o’clock
Below hymenal ring; lubrication
Where are skenes glands
(largest paraurethral glands)
Fluid secretion to lubricate urethral opening
Near urethral meatus
Anterior wall of vagina
What are the anatomical borders of the vagina
Musculomembranous tube from hymenal ring to uterus
What is the cell type in the vagina
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What are the fornixes of the vagina
Recessed areas bordering cervix, “arch”
There are 4
What is the pouch of Douglas
AKA rectouterine pouch
Lowest point in abdominal cavity: fluid accumulation
-?Ectopic pregnancy
Procedure to drain fluid: Culdocentesis
What is Chadwick’s sign
early; blue tint (inc. vascularity)
What is Goodell Sign
cervical softening d/t edema
What is Hegar sign
isthmus (uterus) softening
What cells cover the ectocervix
Squamous epithelium
What are the cells of the Endo cervix
Columnar epithelium
What happens to the cervix under the influence of life
Everts
What is the most common site of fertilization
The Ampullla
What is the most common site for ectopic pregnancy
Ampulla
How does the fimbriae grab an egg from the ovarie
Salivary sweeping action
The Ovaries secrete what ?
Estrogen and progesterone in response to FSH and LH
What is the most common site for ovarian cancer
The outer epithelium of the ovary
Where do the L and R ovaries drain into
L ovary drains into L renal vein
R ovary drains into IVC
What is the línea terminalis
Linea terminalis is the boundary between the greater pelvis and lesser pelvis as well as the plane of the pelvic inlet. “pelvic brim”
Thelinea terminalisorinnominate lineconsists of the pubic crest,pectineal line(pecten pubis), thearcuate line, the sacral ala, and thesacral promontory.
What is the difference between the true and false pelvis
“True:” important in childbearing
Immobile; constrains delivery of fetus
“False:” above linea terminalis
Physically supports pregnant uterus
What is vertex presentation of a baby
Chin tucked small diameter
Good for baby and mom
What is sinciput and brow presentation of baby
Larger diameter of head and neck flexion
Not great for mom or baby
What are the two most favorable hip anatomies for birth
Gynecologist and Anthropoid
What is the in utero gonadal development
Begins at 5w; committed by ~7w
Testes develop: ~7w
Ovaries develop: ~12w
Decided by TDF and MIF
What is the dif between Mesonephric and Paramesonephric ducts
Mesonephric (Wolffian) ducts: male reproductive development
Paramesonephric (Mullerian) ducts: female reproductive development
What is the ovarian development at 16 weeks gestation
~16w: cortical cords break into cell clusters: “primordial follicles”
Each primordial follicle contains an oogonium (primordial germ cell → egg)
What is important about anti-mullarian hormone in utero in males
STOPS female sex anatomy production in developing baby
AMH suppresses development of paramesonephric (Mullerian) ducts, which form uterus and uterine/fallopian tubes
Paramesonephric ducts are responsible what development of what anatomy
Fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper third of vagina
What is ovotesticular DSD
Rare -Chromatin-positive nuclei (typically) ~70%: 46XX ~20% mosaic: 46XX/46XY ~10%: 46XY
Most will have “ovotestis” (both testicular & ovarian components present)
Phenotype: male or female
External genitalia are always ambiguous
A pt presents with presetn and normal ovaries with ambitious external genitalia.
Think
Female fetal exposure to excess androgens -external genital
Virilization
Clitoral hypertrophy, partial fusion of labia majora, persistent urogenital sinus
46XX DSD
Most common CAH or tumors
A baby is supposed to look male however they have underveloped testicles
Think
46XY DSD
Caused by inadequate production of testosterone and MIS by the fetal testes
“Chromatin-negative” nuclei (no sex chromatin)
Testicular tissue present
Could be visible, undescended, or present with ovarian tissue
What are the features of AIS
Androgen Insenitivity syndrome
46XY
Normal external genitalia
+cryptorchid testes
Blind vaginal pouch
With testicles that are resistant to testosterone
Define the syndrome :
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Anosmia
Infertile, poorly defined 2ndary sexual characteristics
Typically born with normal sexual differentiation!
Low FSH, LH, and estrogen
Failure in production/activity of GnRH (lack of GnRH, LH, FSH surge in infancy)
Kallman!
Define the syndrome:
47XXY
Low T, elevated FSH, elevated LH; FSH > LH
Presentation varies, but may include micropenis, hypospadias, cryptorchidism
Often not diagnosed, or diagnosed in adulthood d/t incomplete virilization
May present with s/sx of androgen deficiency, infertility
Klinefelter
Define the syndrome
45 XO
Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism
Elevated FSH and LH
Low estrogen
“Streak” gonads, short stature, webbing of neck, low hairline, short stature
“gonadal dysgenesis”
Turner Syndrome
Haploid vs Diploid cells
Diploid 46XY
Haploid 23
What is the purpose of the acrosome on a sperm
Enzymes to penetrate zona pellucida and dispersion of follicular cells of corona radiata
What is the difference between Spermatogenesis and Spermiogenesis
Spermatogensis is development of spermatocytes
Spermiogensis is transition into sperm
