12
Q
surfactant components
A
Complex mix of lecithings, the most important of which is dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine.
13
Q
What inhibits lactation before birth?
A
Progesterone (this is why retained placental tissue will inhibit lactation) AND estrogen. Both stimulate prolactin production, but block the action of prolactin on the breast.
14
Q
If a woman can’t lactate after childbirth think…
A
Sheehan’s
15
Q
What stimulates uterine contractions?
A
1) oxytocin, but only in third trimester and after cervix is dilated.
2) PGI2 stimulates uterine contractions prior.
16
Q
Cystocele
A
Fibrous wall between bladder and vagina is torn by childbirth, allowing the bladder to herniate into the vagina. This causes a bulge of the anterior vaginal wall.
17
Q
Rectocele
A
Tear in the rectovaginal septum. Rectal tissue bulges through tear and into vagina as hernia. Usually during childbirth or hysterectomy.
18
Q
Autonomic innervation of the male sexual response
A
• /point and shoot erection, parasympathetic, ejaculation, sympathetic. Midget chef travelling out of his dick/emission (sperm moving from testes into prostatic urethra) = SNS, hypogastric. Beating off into a big bowl of pudding/ejaculation (sperm moving from prostatic urethra to outside) = visceral and somatic nerves, pudendal.
Location: Travis Krogman’s basement
19
Q
When and why does body temperature increase occur?
A
Basal body temperature significantly increases shortly after ovulation, due to metabolic effects of progesterone produced by the corpus luteum. Progesterone acts at thermal regulatory center of hypothalamus. Basal body temperature remains high during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle but falls precipitously a few days before the onset of menstruation.
20
Q
Hysterosalpingogram + analyzing results.
A
1) injecting contrast medium into the uterus.
2) If the fallopian tubes are open, the contrast medium will fill the tubes and spill out into the abdominal cavity. Thus contrast in the abdominal cavity is normal. If they’re blocked, then contrast medium will not spill out.
21

29
Estrogen biosynthesis
Cholesterol --> pregnenolone --> androgens in theca cells. Androgens diffuses to granulose cells, where it is aromatized to estrogen.
30
Estrogen action in phase of menstrual cycle
1) follicular
2) midcycle
3) luteal
1) negative feedback on anterior pituitary
2) positive feedback on anterior pituitary
3) negative feedback on anterior pituitary
31
Estrogen and prolactin
Estrogen stimulates prolactin secretion but then blocks its action on the breast.
32
uterine threshold to contractile stimuli during pregnancy
Estrogen lowers the uterine threshold to contractile stimuli during pregnancy; progesterone raises the uterine threshold to contractile stimuli during pregnancy. Near term the estrogen/progesterone ratio increases, which makes the uterus more sensitive to contractile stimuli.
33
Follicular phase
1) primordial follicle develops to the graafian stage.
2) LH and FSH receptros are up-gregulated in theca and granulosa cells
3) Estradiol levels increase and cause proliferation of the uterus
4) FSH and LH are suppressed by effect of estradiol
5) progesterone is low.
34

always 2 weeks prior to menses, regardless of cycle length
35

rise just prior to ovulation, then drop, then rise again during luteal phase.
36

Increases in quantity, becoming less viscous and more penetrable by sperm.
37
Luteal phase changes
1) corpus luteum develops
2) vasculatory and secretory activity of endometrium increases
3) rise in basal body temp
38

44
How is lactation maintained?
Suckling, which stimulates both oxytocin and prolactin secretion.
45
Why is ovulation suppressed during pregnancy?
Because prolactin
A) inhibits hypothalamic GnRH secretion
B) Inhibits the action of GnRH on the anterior pituitary and consequently inhibits LH and FSH secretion.
C) antagonizes the actions of LH and FSH on the ovaries.
46
Steroid hormones

treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding?

522
Progestin challenge
Test used to evaluate a pt experiencing amenorrhea. If patient has sufficient estradiol, they will experience withdrawal bleeding after progestin is finished (this indicates she has estrogen which causing the lining of the uterus to build up which will cause bleeding), indicating the patient's amenorrhea is due to an ovulation. If no bleeding occurs after withdrawal, amenorrhea due to either a) low serum estradiol b) HPO dysfunction C) some others.
*Presence of withdrawal bleeding excludes anatomic defects and chronic anovulation without estrogen.

537
Why does uterine atony cause bleeding?
Normally contraction of the uterus causes compression of blood vessels, inhibiting hemorrhaging during delivery
538
Anovulatory cycle etiology
normal bleeding is due to a decline in estrogen, with anovulatory cycles, there is no progesterone and bleeding is caused by unopposed estrogen (inability of estrogen to support a growing endometrium.
