Uterus and Ovaries
3 layers of the uterus (Deep to superficial)
Endometrieum, myometrium, perimetrium
blood supply to the female urethra
internal pudendal and vaginal arteries and veins
Where does fertilization occur
The ampula
How long is the menstrual cycle
28 days
Where is the epoophoron
Superior borner of the fallopian tube
Internal os incompetency
Blood supply of the uterus
uterine artery, ovarian artery, and some from vaginal artery
Location in terms of the peritoneum (ex: retroperitoneal)
Intraperitoneal and mobile, and fixed by the mesosalpinx
What are the 3 phases of the menstrual cycle
1. Phase of desquamaition and regeneration (menstruation)
2. Phase of proliferation
3. Phase of secretion
homologous structure to vaginal a.
Inferior vescicle artery in male.
Attaches the pelvic wall and lateral abdominal wall; contains the ovarian a+v
Blood supply to the uturine tube
Ovarian arter and uterine artery
Origin and destination of the ovum
From the follicle and reaches the funnel via fimbria within 3-6 min
Phase of desquamation and regeneration (menstruation). Days and what hormone, what happens?
1-4th day. disappearance of progestrone and increase of estreogens. endometrium is shed and the epitheliuma nd connective tissue of the functional layer regeneratefrom the basal layer and the wound is closed.
Homologous structure to uterine a.
Broad ligament of the uterus
Mesometrium and ligamentum latum uteri. This is a sheath of the peritoneum covering the uturus and the fallopian tubes. Mesosalpinx and mesovarium are folds of the broad ligament
Innervation of the uterus
Sympathetic: T12-L2
Parasympathetic: Pelvic splanchnic nerves: S2,S3,S4
What are the 4 parts of the fallopian tubes (+200 bonus points if you draw it out)
Infudibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and uterine part
Phase of proliferation: days, function, and hormone
5-15th day, ovulation period. Mainly controlled by estrogen. Functional layer grows, glands get bigger, spiral arteries form, body temperature rises.
The female duct in the embryo, what does this become in men?
Mullerian (paramesonephric duct), becomes prostatic utricle
Contents of the ligamentum latum (10 things)
Uterine a,v,n
Ovarian a,v,n
Suspensory ligamnt of th eovary
parts of the ovary
fallopian tube
ureter
transverse cervical (cardinal) ligament
fat/areolar tissue
ovarian ligament
opoophoron, paroophoron & Gartener's duct
Where is the superior gluteal artery located
Beterrn L4,L5, and S1
histology of the mucosa in the fallopian tubes
simple high columnar ciliated epithelieum (pseudostratified) with glandular cells
Phase of secretion: Says, what happens, and hormone.
15th-28th day, controlled by progesterone; mucous secretion and increase in blood vessels. At the end of this phase, progesterone decreases and arteries contract due to drying, ischemia follows and tissue damage; bleeding begins again.
What is the name of the male duct and what does this turn into in females
Wolffian duct, becomes gartner's duct and the epoophoron
