24
Film brae
Little fingers
25
Pid
Pelvic inflammatory disease | Whole abdominal pelvis is infected by a pathogen
26
Endometrium
Lining of uterus
27
Suspensory ligaments
Hold ovary to abdominal wall, cord shaped
28
Ovarian ligament
Anchors ovary medially, ovary to uterus
29
Broad ligament
Double fold of peritoneum, ovary to uterus
30
Functions of the ovary
Making eggs and producing cells
31
Endocrinic
Estrogen and progestural hormones
32
Estrogen
Gives us secondary sex characteristics, period, developed breast, hair,
33
Main job of ovaries
Repair and build up lining in the uterus and allows to thicken
34
Fallopian tubes
Visceral peritoneum, made up of muscle, fine mucous membrane lining, most eggs and ovulation occur distal 1/3. Peristalsis and Celia push ovum to uterus
35
Tubal ligation
Having your tubes tied
36
Uterus
Hollow,t hick wall, highly muscular, located in pelvis between urinary bladder and rectum
37
Function of uterus
Recieve, retain, nourish a fertilized egg
38
Uterian cavity
Expands during pregnancy to hold baby and amniotic fluid
39
Fund us
Rounded upper part above entrance of the two ovi ducts
40
Body
Middle portion
41
Cervix
Cylinder portion that extends into the vagina
42
Cervical Os
Opening
43
Menstruation stage
Endometrium is shed, follicle begins development in ovary, corpus luteum ceases to function
44
Follicular stage
Endometrium is repaired. Follicle continues to develop and secrets estrogen
45
Ovulation stage
Endometrium grows, Graafian follicle ruptures amd liberates ovum , occurs on 14th day
46
Luteal stage
Endometrium thickens, corpus luteum begins development in ruptures follicle and secrets progesterone
47
Premenstrual stage
Endometrium shrinks, corpus luteum begins involution and reduces hormone production
48
Vagina
Muscular tube, cervix of uterus to opening of outside world, lies between bladder and rectum, lined with mucous membrane, in many folds called rugae, mucous that is secretes In lining is low on ph
49
Fornix
End of cervix
50
Mons pubis
fat pad that lays over symphsis pubis, anteriorly
51
labia
majora: longitudinal layer or fat, mons pubis to anus, external minora: " " more medial, posterior to clitoris
52
urethra
located in vestibular area, opening to urinary
53
prepus
hood of skin that meets anteriorly and covers clitoris
54
vestibule
inner floor of uterus, contains bartholins glands
55
perineum
mons pubis to anus,
56
mammary glands
2 breast
57
latation
producing milk, nipple is erectile tissue
58
areola
dark pigment around nipple, responds to HCG by turning darker
59
lobules
milk is made
60
lactiferous ducts
milk made in lobules and drip into ducts then drip milk in lactiferous sinus, once oxytosin is produced, milk will be excreted from the nipple
61
oxytosn
peristalis hormone, milk projection
62
pitosin
start labor
63
prolactin
hormone, stimulates lobules to produce milk
64
amenorrhea
abscence of bleeding
65
dysmenorrhea
pain, difficult cycle
66
menometrorrhagia
bleeding during and after period
67
metrorrhea
bleeding between periods
68
oligomenorrhea
not very much of a flow
69
metrorrhagia
excessive bleeding when not on period
70
menorrhagia
excessive bleeding on period
71
menorrhea
normal bleeding
72
bartholins gland
produce lubrication when sexually excited
73
functions of vagina
passageway for baby to come out, during menstrual cycle to release endometrium, recieving chamber of sperm
74
Pap smears
scrape tissue of cervix
75
Coopers/ suspensory ligament
can causse saggy breast, anchors breast to pectoral wall
