Q

inner mucous layer which consists of the superficial functional layer and deeper permanent basal layer

A

endometrium

17
Q

tissues surrounding the uterus and does not construe a uterine layer

A

parametrium

18
Q

forward placement of the uterus at the cervix (forming 90 degree angle with vagina)

A

anteversion

19
Q

tilting backward of the uterus at the cervix (oriented more linearly in relationship to the vagina)

A

retroversion

20
Q

bending forward of the uterus at the body

A

anteflexion

21
Q

bending backwards of the uterus at the body; may become incarcerated during pregnancy - symptom is urinary retention

A

retroflexion

22
Q

outer functional layer; constitutes the bulb of the ovarian substance and contains a large number of primordial and developing follicles

A

cortex

23
Q

inner ovary which contains blood vessels and connective tissue

A

medulla

24
Q

7 to 14 cm in length and function to transport the fertilized ovum to uterus by means of peristaltic contractions

A

fallopian tube

25
Q

narrow and relatively straight; located within uterine wall

A

interstitial/intramural

26
Q

medial portion closest to uterus

A

isthmus

27
Q

longest portion; curves around the ovary; thin walled and distendable; normally site of fertilization

A

ampulla

28
Q

outer trumpet shaped end (distal)

A

infundibulum

29
Q

numerous fingerlike projections which maintain a close relationship between the tube and ovary

A

fimbriae

30
Q

located between the pubic bone and the anterior urinary bladder wall; rarely fluid is seen in this space, but masses in the space with displace the urinary bladder posteriorly

A

space of Retzius

31
Q

located anterior to the uterus and posterior to the urinary bladder; this space is usually empty but may contain loop of bowel

A

vesicouterine space (anterior cul-de-sac)

32
Q

located posterior to the uterine cervix and anterior to the rectum; this is the most dependent recess in the body and therefore the most common site for free peritoneal fluid to collect

A

rectouterine space (posterior cul-de-sac or pouch of Douglas)
