26
What are the functions of vagina?
Organs for copulation Discharge menstrual flow Birth canal
27
It allow the vaginal canal to stretch during coitus and enlarge considerably during delivery
Rugae
28
The cervix projects into the four recess or depression around the vagina upper portion
Fornices
29
Contracts to expel the fetus during labor, and to seal torn blood vessels after delivery of the placenta
Uterus
30
Most muscular area of the uterus. During fetus it is palpated to assess uterine contractions and labor progress.
Fundus
31
Areas of the uterus at which the fallopian tube are attached
Cornua
32
Upper third of the cervix which is very thin, becoming prominent only near the end of pregnancy and during labor to form the lower uterine segment with the cervix.
Isthmus
33
This is the body of the uterus which makes 2/3 of the said organ - it houses the fetus during pregnancy
Corpus
34
Chiefly composed of elastic and colagenous tissues, 10% muscle fibers. Contains many sebaceous gland that secrete clear viscid and alkaline mucus
Cervix
35
Parts of cervix: opens to the curpos
Internal os
36
Parts of cervix: located between the internal and external os
Cervical canal
37
Parts of cervix: Opens to vagina
External OS
38
Outermost, serosal layer of the uterus attached to the broad ligaments
Perimetrium
39
The middle muscular layer of the uterus, responsible for uterine contractions during labor.
Myometrium
40
The innermost, ciliated, mucosal layer containing numerous uterine glands that secrete a thin alkaline fluid to keep the uterine cavity moist.
Endometrium
41
composed of columnar epithelium; the layer peels off during menstruation and thickens during the proliferative and secretary phase
Glandular layer
42
The layer adjacent to the myometrium and gives rise to the new endometrium after menstruation delivery.
Basal layer
43
What are the parts of the uterus?
Fundus Cornua Isthmus Corpus Cervix
44
What are the layers of the uterus?
Perimetrium Endometrium - glandular layer - basal layer Myometrium
45
Lower portion of the broad ligaments. It is the main support of the uterus. Damage to this ligament will lead to herniation of rectum to uterine prolapse
Cardinal/transverse
46
It supports the sides of the uterus and assists in holding the uterus in anteversion.
Broad ligaments
47
Connects the uterus to the labia majora. During pregnancy these ligaments hypertohid and gives stability to the uterus
Round ligaments
48
LIGAMENTS Uterosacral - supra vaginal cervical Anterior - anterior portion of the supra vaginal cervix Posterior - supports the side of the uterus (anteversion)
Memories
49
A branch of the internal iliac or hyogastric artery
Uterine artery
50
A direct branch of the aorta
Ovarian artery
51
What is the function of the fallopian tube?
Transports ovum from ovary > uterus Site of fertilization Provides nourishment to the ovum
52
Thick-walled located inside the uterus 1cm long
Interstitial/intramural
53
Narrowest portion about 1cm long: site of tubal ligation
Isthmus
54
It secretes thin milky alkaline fluids
Prostate gland
55
