16
Q

• Tightly coiled tube approx. 20 ft.
• Responsible for conducting sperm from the tubule to the vas deferens

A

Epididymis

17
Q

• Also referred to as spermatic cord
• Hollow tube surrounded by areteries and veins

A

Vas Deferens(Ductus Deferens)

18
Q

to protect the junction of the pubic bone (symphysis) from trauma.

A

Mons veneris

19
Q

two folds of adipose tissue covered by loose connective tissue and epithelium
that are positioned lateral to the labia minora.
• fused anteriorly but separated posteriorly.

A

Labia majora

20
Q

• posterior to the mons veneris spread two hairless pink folds of connective tissue
• the internal surface is covered with mucous membrane
• the external surface is covered with skin.

A

Labia minora

21
Q

the flattened, smooth surface inside the
labia.
• The openings to the bladder (the
urethra) and the uterus (the vagina)
both arise from the vestibule.

A

Vestibule

22
Q

a small (approximately 1 to 2
cm), rounded organ of erectile tissue at
the forward junction of the labia minora. It
is covered by a fold of skin, the
prepuce.

A

Clitoris

23
Q

thin membrane at opening of vagina

A

Hymen

24
Q

This is the situation where the
hymen does completely cover the opening to the vagina. This condition usually goes undiagnosed until a girl enters puberty and her first period and the blood cannot flow out.

A

Imperforate Hymen

25
Q

This is when one hymen is split into two
openings over the vagina. This condition also does not stop menstrual blood flow, but can block the use of tampons in virginal females.

A

Septate Hymen

26
Q

the hymen almost completely closes
off the vaginal opening. Menstrual blood is able-to flow out, but a virginal female may not be able to use tampons

A

Microperforate Hymen

27
Q

opening of urethra

A

Urinary meatus

28
Q

 The function is to produce, mature, and
discharge ova (the egg cells).
 located close to and on both sides of the
uterus in the lower abdomen

A

Ovaries

29
Q

approximately 10 cm long in a mature woman.
 a smooth, hollow tunnel
Function:
To convey the ovum from the ovaries to the uterus and to provide a place forfertilization of the ovum by sperm.

A

Fallopian Tubes

30
Q

Upper portion above brim, supportive structure for uterus during last half of pregnancy

A

False pelvis

31
Q

below brim; pelvic inlet, midplane, pelvic outlet. Fetus passes through during birth

A

True pelvis

32
Q

• Inlet is round
• Wide
• This is the typical FEMALE PELVIS
• Most favorable for normal spontaneous delivery

A

Gynecoid Pelvis

33
Q

• Wide
• HEART-SHAPED
• This is the typical MALE PELVIS

A

Android Pelvis

34
Q

• Wide
• Narrow
• This is the typical APE PELVIS

A

Anthropoid Pelvis

35
Q

• Opposite of Anthropoid Pelvis
• Wide
• Narrow

A

Platypelloid Pelvis

36
Q

 A conjugate that CANNOT BE MEASURED CLINICALLY
 Distance from posterior surface of symphysis pubis up to the most prominent
portion of sacral promontory
o Subtract 1.5 – 2.0 cm from diagonal conjugate
o Therefore, Obstetric Conjugate (OC) is equal to Diagonal Conjugate (DC) minus 1.5 to
2.0 centimeters.
o In equation form:
 OC = DC – 1.5 or 2.0 cm

A

Obstetric Conjugate

37
Q

• Distance from anterior surface of symphysis pubis and the inferior margin of symphysis pubis up
to the most prominent area of the sacrum
• Only conjugate that can be measured clinically
• Normal value is 11.5 cm to 12.5 cm. or greater is adequate size, evaluated by examiner

A

Diagonal Conjugate
