Ardms Endometrium

Front 1

The two layers of the endometrium

Back 1

BASILAR LAYER: permanent , vascular but very thin
FUNCTIONAL LAYER: regenerated and lost during each menstrual cycle

Front 2

FUNCTIONAL LAYER of endometrium

Back 2

Regenerated and lost during each menstrual cycle
Under influence of estrogen & progesterone from ovaries from ovaries, the growth of blood vessels preps it for embryo

Front 3

What does the endometrium form during pregnancy?

Back 3

The maternal portion of the placenta

Front 4

Phase of MENSTRUAL CYCLE in which each takes place:
1) Rupture of mature follicle
2) Loss of the endometrium
3) the corpus luteum develops
4) Several follicles begin to develop

Back 4

1) Follicular phase (2nd phase)
2) Menstrual phase (1st)
3) Luteal phase (3rd) -- or is it secretory phase??

Front 5

Without ____ , the endometrium cannot be maintained.

Back 5

Progesterone

Front 6

What produces (menstrual cycle)
1. FSH
2. LH
3. Estrogen
4. Progesterone

Back 6

1. Anterior Pituitary
2. Anterior Pituitary
3. Ovarian follicle
4. Corpus Luteum

Front 7

MENSTRUAL CYCLE (28 day cycle)
Includes FSH, LH, Estrogen, Progesterone, and changes in the ovaries and endometrium.
--- general outline of phases

Back 7

1. MENSTRUAL- loss of the endometrium
2. FOLLICULAR- several ov follicles develop; ovulation is the rupture of a mature follicle; blood vessels grow in he endometrium
3. LUTEAL- the ruptured follicle becomes the corpus luteum ; the endometrium continues to develop
4. If fertilization does not occur, decreased progesterone results in the loss of endometrium in menstruation.

Front 8

Endometrium

Back 8

A specialized mucosa that varies in thickness and composition through the menstrual cycle. Covering the surface are ciliates cells interrupted at intervals by the offices of mucous glands

Front 9

Thickness & appearance of endometrium during:
1. Menstrual phase
2. Postmenstrual phase
3. Proliferative phase
4. Secretory phase

Back 9

1. (days 1-5). <0.5 mm Thin echogenic line
2. (days 6-9) 1-2 mm Mostly anechoic
3. (days 10-13) 2-4 mm Slightly echogenic
4. (days 14-28) 5-7 mm Highly echogenic

Front 10

During the menstrual cycle, the endometrial lining is primarily estrogenic or more progestational?

Back 10

Estrogenic

Front 11

During ovulation, the balance shifts to that of a more estrogenic or more of a progestional state?

Back 11

Progestational

Front 12

Sonographically, how does the endometrium appear...
1). During menstrual cycle
2) Post ovulation to menses
3). from menses to ovulation (proliferative phase)

Back 12

1)
2) the entire endometrium is echogenic
3) thickened and hyperechoic at the periphery and the endometrial line is echogenic

Front 13

Endometrial thickness
1. Pre-Menopausal
2 Post-Menopausal
3. Post spontaneous Abortion

Back 13

1. 2-18 mm ... Varies with menstrual cycle
2. < 5 mm ... May be up to 8mm if on HRT
3. Less than or equal to 5 mm
Thicker measurements post spontaneous abortion
indicate retained products of conception
