Reproduction Flashcards
connects cervix to pelvic side wall
cardinal ligament
connects the ovaries to the lateral pelvic wall
suspensory ligament
connects the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to the pelvic side wall
broad
contains the uterine vessels
cardinal ligament
contains the ovarian vessels
suspensory ligament
testicular cancer first mets to
peri-aortic lymph nodes
what develops from mesonephric ducts
male internal genitalia except prostate
male homologue to: vestibular bulbs labia minora bartholin glands urethral and paraurethral glands (of Skene)
corpus cavernosum and spongiosum
ventral shaft of penis
bulbourethral glands
prostate gland
what gene product comes from the SRY gene that underlies male genital development
testis determining factor
anchors testes to the scrotum
gubernaculum
pulsing schedule of GnRH affects gonadotropin release how
pulsatile: increase release
continuous: decrease/stop release
difference btw androgen insensitivity and 5-alpha-reductase deficiency
androgen insensitivity: female genitalia, but genetically male.
5-a-reductase: male genitalia that are hypodeveloped until puberty causes a large increase in testosterone
sertoli and leydig cells
LH -> leydig cells -> testosterone
FSH -> sertoli cells -> androgen binding protein (keeps testosterone in testicle)
testicular tumor composed of cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts
choriocarcinoma
may present initially with gynecomastia in males
leydig cell tumor
elavated AFP in males
yolk sac, teratoma
elevated BhCG in males
choriocarcinoma, embryonal and teratoma
most common testicular cancer
seminoma
most common testicular tumor in infants and children up to 3yrs of age
yolk sac
most common testicular tumor in men over age 60
testicular lymphoma
histologic appearance similar to koilocytes (cytoplasmic clearing)
seminoma
histologically may have alveolar or tubular appearance sometimes with papillary convolutions
embryonal carcinoma
composed of multiple tissue types
teratoma
histologic endodermal sinus structures (Schiller-Duval bodies) in males
yolk sac tumor
25% have cytoplasmic rod-shaped crystalloids of Reinke
leydig cell
androgen-producing and associated with precocious puberty (test cancer)
leydig cell, may be sertoli
what is the major side effect of sildenafil
life threatening hypotension when combined with nitrates
balanitis is caused by what bug
candida albicans
difference between finasteride and flutamide
finasteride is 5areductase inhibitor (BPH, male pattern baldness)
flutamide inhibits testosterone receptor (treat prostate cancer)
most common cancer in men
prostate cancer
most common cause of urinary obstruction in men
BPH
most common treatment for erectile dysfunction
phosphodiesterase inhibitor (sildenafil)
layers of endometrium
stratum compactum
stratum spongiosum
stratum basale
the compactum and spongiosum are shed monthly
two-cell theory of estradiol production
FSH -> granulosa cell -> aromatase (androstenedione) -> estrogen
LH -> theca cell -> makes androstenedione
30 year old woman presents with a low grade fever, a rash across her nose that gets worse when she is out in the sun, and widespread edema. What blood test would you order to confirm your clinical suspicion?
ANA to screen for lupus
appearance of HPV infection
koilocytic change: perinuclear halo
dysplastic cervical cells with enlarged, dark nuclei
koilocytes
Diethylstilbestrol (DES)
clear cell adenocarcinoma of vagina
what are the risk factors for endometrial carcinoma
HHONDA hyperplasia HTN obesity nulliparity diabetes anovulatory state
excess unopposed estrogen is the main risk factor
endometrial proliferation and cancer
menorrhagia with an enlarged uterus and no palpable pain
fibroid (leiomyoma)
pelvic pain that presents only during menstruation
endometriosis
diagnosed by endometrial biopsy in clinic
endometrial hyperplasia and cancer
definitive diagnosis and treatment is by laparoscopy
endometriosis
menstruating tissue within the myometrium
adenomyosis
malignant tumor of the uterine smooth muscle
leiomyosarcoma
most common tumor in women
leiomyoma
most common gynecologic malignancy in the US
endometrial carcinoma
most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide
cervical carcinoma
chocolate cyst of the ovary
endometriosis
what is the underlying cause of PCOS?
increased LH and decreased FSH -> lack of ovulation
a young woman is found to have short stature and shortened 4th and 5th metacarpals. What endocrine disorder is most likely responsible for these manifestations?
albright hereditary osteodystrophy
type1a pseudohypoparathyroidism
ovarian tumor produces AFP
yolk sac (endodermal)
