Reproductive Anatomy Flashcards
The round ligaments terminate at the:
Upper border of the labia majora
The clitoris rarely exceeds a length of:
2 cm
The labia minora and the inner labia majora are lined by:
Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Glands present in the labia minora
Sebaceous glands
Functionally mature female structure of the urogenital sinus of the embryo that extends from clitoris to forchette
Vestibule
During first coitus, the hymen usually ruptures at this position
6 o’clock
The vestibule has how many openings?
6: Urethra, Vagina, paired Skene’s glands, paired Bartholin’s glands
Also known as Skene’s glands or periurethral glands
Lesser vestibular glands
Also known as Bartholin’s glands or vulvovaginal glands
Greater vestibular glands
Forms the anterior boundary of the perineum
Pubic symphysis
These two muscles contribute to clitoral erection
Bulbocavernosus
Ischiocavernosus
Bartholin gland secretion is an action of this muscle
Bulbocavernosus
This part of the anterior perineal triangle is continuous with the pelvis
Deep space
The pudendal nerve is formed by the anterior rami of these spinal roots
S2 to S4
The Alcock canal is also known as the:
Pudendal canal
Viewed from the anterior, the vagina is described as (shape):
H-shaped
Normal length of the anterior wall of the vagina
6-8 cm
Normal length of the posterior wall of the vagina
7-10 cm
Drains the lower third of the vagina
Inguinal nodes
Artery that supplies the middle third of the vagina
Inferior vesical artery
Separates the upper fourth of the vagina from the rectum
Rectouterine pouch of Douglas
This structure divides the posterior vagina into four vaults
Cervix
What part of the cervix has an extensive amount of nerves?
Endocervix
In nulliparas, the uterus normally weighs:
50-70 g
Part of the uterus where the oviducts attach
Cornua
The stratum basale of the endometrium is supplied by the:
Straight arteries
This structure divides the pelvic cavity into anterior and posterior compartments
Broad ligament
This structure provides the major support of the uterus and cervix
Cardinal ligament / Mackenrodt ligament / Transverse cervical ligament
The round ligament inserts ___ and ___ to the origin of the oviducts
Below and anterior
The fallopian tubes lack tunica:
Submucosa
Narrowest portion of the oviducts
Isthmus
Part of the oviduct where fertilization and 80% of ectopic pregnancies occur
Ampulla
The germinal epithelium of Waldeyer is what type of tissue?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
The loose connective tissue of the inner medulla of the ovaries is continuous with the:
Mesovarium
Layer of the ovary that contains the primordial and Graafian follicles in various stages of development
Innermost portion of the outer cortex
The laxity of the pubic joints due to pregnancy regresses at:
3-5 months postpartum
The upward gliding of this joint is greatest at dorsal lithotomy
Sacroiliac joint
In dorsal lithotomy, the pelvic outlet diameter increases by:
1.5-2 cm
Pelvic shape that has a good prognosis for vaginal delivery but is associated with an increased incidence of face presentation
Anthropoid
The female homologue of the vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and seminal vesicles
Gartner’s duct
The male homologue of the round ligament
Gubernaculum testis
Muscles that attach to the perineal body (4)
Bulbospongiosus
Deep transverse perineal muscle
External anal sphincter
Superficial transverse perineal muscle
An adequate pelvis has a diagonal conjugate of at least:
11.5 cm
The pelvic floor is composed of coccygeus and the levator ani muscles. What are the three levator ani muscles?
Ileococcygeus
Pubococcygeus
Puborectalis
The puborectalis is subdivided into (3)
Puboanalis
Puboperinealis
Pubovaginalis
