Q

describe normal menstruation

A
  • ova develops in ovaries
  • each menstrual cycle, 1 ovum released into peritoneal cavity
  • ovum gathered by fimbriae into infundibulum
  • moved along the uterine tube by cilia
  • unfertilised ovum expelled by myometrium contractions

Q

fertilisation occurs in the

19
Q

implantation occurs in the

A

body of the uterus

20
Q

ectopic pregnancy

A

fertilised ovum implants outwith the uterine cavity

21
Q

why is an ectopic pregnancy dangerous

A

danger of haemorrhage

22
Q

where can ectopic pregnancies occur

A

uterine tube, abdominal cavity

23
Q

what happens during female fertilisation

A

tubal ligation - tubes clipped, cut or cauterised blocking the lumen

24
Q

during development where do the testes originate

A

posterior wall of the abdominal cavity

25
how do the testes move from point of origin to place by birth
from posterior abdominal cavity wall, and into the scrotum via the anterior abdominal wall (inguinal canal)
26
vas deferens
tube sperm pass through
27
what is the path of vas deferens during development
follow the testes into the scrotum
28
the vas deferens connects the _ to almost the _
testes to urethra
29
spermatic cord contains
vas deferens, testicular artery, pampiniform plexus of veins
30
torsion of testes
twisting of spermatic cord
31
why is torsion of testes dangerous
disrupts blood supply, danger of testicular necrosis
32
function of prosthetic urethra
- drains urine from bladder | - passes semen in ejaculation
33
during erection what fills with blood and at what pressure
3 cylinders of erectile tissue fill with blood at arterial pressure
34
male accessory reproductive organs
vas deferens, seminal glands, prostate gland and penis
35
function of testes
produce sperm
36
semen is
sperm and seminal fluid
37
describe the path of the spermatic cords
pass through the abdominal cavity wall within the inguinal canal to reach the pelvic cavity
38
describe the route of the vas deferens in the pelvic cavity
connects with a duct from a seminal gland to form an ejaculatory duct containing semen
39
describe the routes of the ejaculatory ducts
R and L ejaculatory ducts join with the prostate gland and drain into the urethra
40
where is the prostate gland in relation to the bladder
immediately inferior
41
where does the urethra open
at the external urethral meatus
42
vasectomy
male sterilisation
43
describe male sterilisation
vans deferens in transected and lumen is sutured closed bilaterally
