25
what is the female homologue of the corpora cavernosa
corpora covernosa clitoris
26
what is the female homologue of the corpus spongiosum
bulb of vestibule
27
what is the female homologue of the ventral penile raphe
labia minora
28
what is the female homologue of the scrotum
labia majora
29
what is the female homologue of the gubernaculum testis
ovarian and round ligaments
30
what is the female homologue of the penis
clitoris
31
what is the female homologue of the glans penis
glans clitoris
32
what is the female homologue of the corpora cavernosa
corpora covernosa clitoris
33
what is the female homologue of the corpus spongiosum
bulb of vestibule
34
what is the female homologue of the ventral penile raphe
labia minora
35
what is the female homologue of the scrotum
labia majora
36
what is the female homologue of the gubernaculum testis
ovarian and round ligaments
37
2 main peritoneal pouches of the female pelvis
1. rectouterine pouch - between uterus and rectum | 2. vesicouterine pouch - between bladder and uterus
38
significance of recouterine pouch
when standing, this is the deepest point of the pelvis, so fluid from ascites can pool here
39
how to aspirate fluid from recouterine pouch
needle in the posterior fornix of the cervix through vaginal canal
40
what is the peritoneal covering of the structures in the true pelvis?
broad ligament of the uterus (COVERS ALL)
41
what connects the ovary to the uterus
ligament of the ovary
42
what connects the ovary to the pelvic wall
suspensory ligament of the ovary, contains ovarian vessels
43
innermost part of uterus
myometrium
44
muscular part of uterus
myometrium
45
parts of cervix
external os, cervical canal, internal os at the uterine isthmus
46
vaginal fornices
anterior, posterior, lateral
47
parts of the uterine tubes
coming from the ovary, fimbriae to infundibulum, to ampulla to isthmus of uterus, to fundus of uterus
48
vaginal fornices
anterior, posterior, lateral
49
parts of the uterine tubes
coming from the ovary, fimbriae to infundibulum, to ampulla to isthmus of uterus, to fundus of uterus
50
what is the position of the uterus relative to vaginal canal and bladder
uterus lays on top of bladder, makes angle of anteversion (anteverted and anteflexed)
51
what do surgeons ligate when doing a tubal ligation?
fallopian tubes
52
abnormal positions of the uterus
retroverted or retroflexed or prolapsed
53
where is the round ligament
from uterus through inguinal canal to labia majora
54
what ligament connects the cervix to the sacrum
uterosacral ligament
55
what ligament connects the cervix to the pelvic wall
transverse/cardinal ligament
56
what is mainly responsible for preventing uterine prolapse
pelvic floor muscles - levator ani
57
main parts of broad ligament
1. mesosalpinx 2. mesovarium 3. mesometrium
58
where is mesosalpinx
suspends uterine tube, has tubal branches of uterine artery and vein
59
where is mesovarium
attaches to ovary and covers ovarian ligament
60
where is mesometrium
extends from lateral pelvic wall to body of uterus
61
differentiate ligament of ovary and suspensatory ligament of ovary
suspensatory ligament of ovary connects ovary to lateral pelvic wall and has ovarian vessels in it, ligament of ovary connects ovary to uterus
62
degrees of uterine prolapse from mild to severe
1, 2, 3rd degree
63
drainage of lymph from fundus of the uterus
along gonadal vessels straight to para-aortic/lumbar nodes
64
drainage of lymph from body/cervix of uterus
to pelvic lymph nodes/internal iliac nodes, then common iliac, then lumbar nodes
