RSL - Repro Flashcards
Scrotum lymphatics
Superficial inguinal (basically everything from below umbilicus; except: Testes, glans penis, and cutaneous portion of posterior calf)
Glans penis
Deep inguinal (also receive from superficial inguinal)
Müllerian agenesis
Presents as primary amenorrhea, lack of uterine development, with fully developed secondary sexual characteristics (functional ovaries)
Prostate origins
Urogenital sinus (Female paraurethral glands of skene)
Lymph drainage: proximal vagina/uterus
Opturator, external iliac, hypogastric nodes
Infundibulopelvic ligament
Ovaries to lateral pelvic wall; contains ovarian vessels
Cardinal ligament
Cervix to side of pelvis; uterine vessels
Ovarian ligament
Ovary to side of lateral uterus
Female orgasm: Excitement
Uterus elevates, vaginal lubrication
Female orgasm: Plateau
Expansion of inner vagina
Path of sperm
(SEVEN UP) Seminiferous tubules Epididymous Vas def Ejaculatory duct Urethra Penis
Erection nerve
PSNS: pelvic nerve
Emission nerve
SNS: Hypogastric nerve
Ejaculation nerve
Visceral and somatic nerves: pudendal nerve
Spermatogonia
Germ cells –> Spermatocyte –> Spermatids –> spermatozoon
Sertoli cells: Secretions
Inhibin, ABP, MIF, Aromatase
Sertoli cells: Location / homolog
line seminiferous tubules, Homolog of granulosa cell
Sertoli cells: Heat sensitive?
yes
Leydig cells: secretions
Testosterone
Leydig cells: location homolog
Interstitium / homolog of theca interna cells
Leydig cells: heat sensitive?
no
Estrogen from Ovary;
17beta-estradiol
Estrogen from placenta:
Estriol
Estrogen from fat
Estrone
Potencies of estrogen?
Estradiol>Estrone>Estriol
Estrogen & prolactin
Estrogen –> Prolactin
Estrogen & lipids
Increase HDL, Decrease LDL
Myometrial excitability: Progesterone / Estrogen
Estrogen increases
Progesterone decreases,
Oligomenorrhea
> 35-Day cycle
Polymenorrhea
Metrorrhagia
Abnormal cycle (irregular)
Menorrhagia
Heavey menstration
Dysmenorrhea
Pain with menses
Meiosis 1 happens;
During fetal life, arrested in prophase until ovulation, then just prior to ovulation meiosis 1 is completed
Meiosis 2 happens:
Arrested in metaphase 2 until fertilization
Mittelschmerz
Transient midcycle ovulatory pain; peritoneal irritation
Can mimic appendicitis
menopause Hormonal changes:
Decreased Estrogen, Increased FSH, Increased LH, Increased GnRH
DHT and testosterone origin
Testes
Androsteinedione origin
Adrenal
Klinefelter syndrome: Hormones
Dysgenesis of seminiferous tubules –> low inhibin –> increased FSH
Abnormal Leydig cell function –>low testosterone –> High estrogen
Kallman syndrome
Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism: Low GnRH, FSH, LH, Testosterone. –> Infertiility, Low sperm count in men; Amenorrhea in women. Also have anosmia.
Defective migration of GnRH cells and formation of olfactory bulb
Gestational HTN: (+ treatment)
BP>140/90 with no pre-existing hypertension. Treat with antihypertensives (Hydralazine, methyldopa, nifedipine, labetalol)
Preeclampsia: (+ treatment)
HTN + Proteinuria + Edema (treat with antiHTN + IV MgS for seizure prevention)
