Puberty, Development, and Menstrual Disorders Flashcards
What occurs to the endometrium during the menstrual phase
Sloughing of the functionalis and compression of the basalis layers
What occurs to the endometrium during the proliferative/estrogenic phase
Increased length of spiral arteries and numerous mitoses
What occurs to the endometrium during the secretory/progestational phase
Glands become tortuous and lumens dilate
Mitoses are rare
Spiral arteries convolute
What is the normal menstrual flow

What are the stages of normal pubertal development
TAG Me Thelarche Adrenarche/Pubarche Maximal growth Menarche
What are the Tanner stages for breast development
1 = pap elevation 2 = pap + breast elevation 3 = enlargement of breast + areola 4 = projection of areola + pap 5 = recession of areola, projection of pap only
What are the Tanner stages of pubic hair development
1 = no hair 2 = sparse hair on labia 3 = hair over junction of pubes 4 = no spread to medial thigh 5 = spread to medial thigh
What are the subgroups of precocious puberty and how are they different
Heterosexual = 2˚ sex oppo expected Isosexual = 2˚ sex same as expected
What is Pseudoisosexual Precocity
