Peritoneum Flashcards
two layered fold of the peritoneum
broad ligament
The ovary is attached to the posterior layer of the broad ligament via what
Mesovarium
This is fromed by the part of the broad ligament that lies lateral to the attachemnent to the mesovarium
Suspensory ligament
part of the broad ligament between the uterine tube and the mesovarium
Mesosalpinx
the broad ligament contains what
a. Uterine tube
b. round ligament
c. uterine and ovarian blood vessels
d. epoophron
e. paraoophoron
This is a vestigial structure that is a remnant of the mesonephros
Epoophron
Mesonephric remnant
Paraoophoron
A pouch from the broad ligament that is a reflection of peritoneum from rectum to upper part of posterior surface of vagina
Rectouterine Pouch or Pouch of Douglas
This is a reflection of the peritoneum from the uterus to upper surface of the uterine bladder
Uterovesical pouch or vesicouterine pouch
Shape and measurement of the ovary
oval/almond shaped and 1.5 by 0.75 inches
What end of the ovary is attached to the uterus by ligament of ovary
Median end
What end of the ovary is related to the fimbrae of the uterine tube
Lateral end
This ligament connects the lateral wall of the uterus to the ovary
Round ligament of the ovary
Blood supply of the ovary
Ovarian artery
The ovarian artery is a branch of what artery
abdominal aorta
At what level of the spinal cord is the abdominal aorta branching off to become the ovarian artery
Lumbar 1 or L1
Venous supply of the ovary
Ovarian vein
Supply of the right ovarian vein comes from the
inferior vena cana
Supply of the let ovarian vein comes from the
left renal vein
Nerve supply of the ovary
aortic plexus
Lymph drainage of the ovary
Para-aortic nodes at L1
a thin fibrous capsule that is formed on the surface of the ovary
Tunica albuginea
a modified area of peritoneum consists of squamous to cuboidal epithelial cells covering the ovary
Germinal epithelium
Measurement of the uterine tube or fallopian tube
4 inches or 10cm long
Where is the fallopian tube located
upper border of the broad ligament
Connects the peritoneum cavity of the ovary to the cavity of uterus
Uterine Tube
What encloses the uterine tube
broad ligament of the uterus
Funnel shaped lateral end of the fallopian tube
Infundibulum
widest part of the fallopian tube
ampulla
narrowest part of the tube and lies lateral to the uterus
Isthmus
Segment that pierces the uterine wall
Intramural part
Blood supply of the fallopian tube
Uterine and ovarian arteries
Nerve supply of the fallopian tube
Sympathetic and parasympathetic from inferior hypogastric plexus
