Week 6 Reproductive Disorders Flashcards
essential organs of the male reproductive system (gonads)
testes
male sex cells
sperm
contains the testes
scrotum
membrane that surrounds each testis
tunica albuginea
hormone secreted by the testes
testosterone
doughnut shaped gland that secretes a fluid that activates sperm
prostate gland
a very tightly coiled tube that lies along the top and behind the testes inside the scrotum
epididymis
the tube that permits sperm to exit from the epididymis and pass into the abdominal cavity
vas deferens (ductus deferens)
duct formed by the joining of the ductus deferens and the duct from the seminal vesicle
ejaculatory duct
genital duct that carries sperm to the exterior
urethra
essential organs of the female reproductive system (gonads)
ovaries
produce female gametes, estrogen, and progesterone
ovaries
serve as ducts for the ovaries, even though they are not attached to them
uterine tubes (Fallopian tubes)
tube of the female reproductive system made mainly of smooth muscle and lined with mucous membrane which opens to the exterior
vagina
relatively small but very strong organ that holds a fetus during pregnancy; functions in menstruation, pregnancy, and labor
uterus
smooth muscle layer of the uterus
myometrium
mucous membrane lining the uterus
endometrium
outer serous layer of the uterus
perimetrium
two parts of the uterus
body (upper portion) and cervix (lower narrow portion)
inflammation of the lining of the uterus due to bacterial infection
endometritis
inflammation of the uterus and the cervix
endocervicitis
inflammation of the fallopian tube
salpingitis
inflammation of the ovary
oophoritis
inflammation of the vagina
vaginitis
implantation of a fertilized ovum outside of the uterus; most commonly occurs in the fallopian tube
ectopic pregnancy
idiopathic seizures after the 20th week of gestation pregnancy
eclampsia
condition in pregnancy which is characterized by high blood pressure, weight gain, and protein in the urine
pre-eclampsia
ectopic pregnancies usually progress to full term (T/F)
false (rarely progress to full term)
ectopic pregnancies are usually caused by an obstruction of the passage of the fertilized egg through the fallopian tube to the uterus (T/F)
true
idiopathic condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body; causes pain, irregular bleeding, scarring, adhesions, and potentially infertility
endometriosis
an acute inflammatory reaction in the testicle which occurs in boys under the age of 10; commonly associated with the mumps virus
orchitis
orchitis rarely results in sterility and tumors later in life (T/F)
true
inflammation of the prostate gland; may be acute or chronic; may be due to a bacterial infection or idiopathic
prostatitis
prostatitis may be asymptomatic (T/F)
true
abnormal collection of fluid in any sacculated cavity in the body; result of a defect or irritation of the spermatic cord causing serous fluid to accumulate in the scrotum
hydrocele
hydrocele is usually congenital and is most common in children 1–2 years old (T/F)
true
if hydrocele occurs in adults, it usually occurs in men over the age of 40 and usually occurs as the result of cancer, infection, trauma, hernias, or localized damage to the circulatory system (T/F)
true
idiopathic failure of the testicles to descend into the scrotum
cryptorchism (cryptorchidism)
abnormal, non-cancerous growth of the prostate cells
benign prostatic hyperplasia
benign prostatic hyperplasia is rare (T/F)
false (develops in most men)
occurs when part of the intestine bulges through a weakened area of the muscles in the inguinal canal; can become strangulated
inguinal hernia
most common infectious diseases in the US; affect more than 13 million people every year
sexually transmitted diseases
a tumor that is covered in dermis-like tissue that contains sebaceous glands, hair, cartilage, bonelike structures, nails, or teeth
dermoid cysts (teratoma)
