Female Reproduction Ii

Front 1

4 sections of an oviduct (uterine or fallopian tube)

Back 1

infundibulum

ampulla

isthmus

intramural

Front 2

epithelium of the oviduct is composed of (2)

Back 2

simple ciliated columnar cells

simple secretory columnar cells

Front 3

secretory cells of the epithelium of the oviduct increase in number and size in response to

Back 3

estrogen

Front 4

T/F cells of the lamina propria of the oviduct undergo changes that facilitate implantation when an ectopic pregnancy occurs

Back 4

True

Front 5

change in thickness of the muscularis externa from infundibulum to intramural

Back 5

muscularis becomes thicker as one moves from the infundibulum to the intramural

Front 6

the serosa of the oviduct is also known as the

Back 6

broad ligament

Front 7

layers of the body of the uterus (3)

Back 7

epimetrium (serosa or broad ligament)

myometrium (muscularis: outer longitudinal, middle circular/oblique, inner longitudinal layer of smooth muscle)

endometrium - site of implantation of a developing embryo

Front 8

Major divisions of the endometrium (2)

Back 8

basal layer - firmly attached to the myometrium

functional layer - sloughed off during menses

Front 9

division of the functional layer of the endometrium (2)

Back 9

outer spongy layer

inner compact layer

Front 10

components of the endometrium (4)

Back 10

epithelial lining of tall ciliated columnar cells

uterine glands (simple tubular glands)

endometrial stroma (lamina propria)

spiral arteries (branches of the uterine artery)

Front 11

phases of changes of the endometrium (3)

Back 11

menstrual phase (day 0-4)
-no functional layer (spiral arteries rupture and parenchymal and stoma cells die)

proliferative phase (day 4-14)
-begins as the end of menses
-endometrium thickens in response to estrogen
-mitotic figures are present
-uterine glands lengthen (straight with narrow lumen)

secretory phase (day 14-28)
-begins at ovulation
-secretory cells produce and secrete glycogen in response to progesterone
-uterine glands are highly convoluted and the lumens are widely dilated
-spiral arteries are fully developed

Front 12

endometriosis is characterized by

Back 12

presence of endometrial parenchymal and stromal cells outside the uterus (ovaries, outer aspect of uterine wall and tubes, colon, rectouterine pouch, rectus abdominus sheath)

*cyclical bleeding results in formation of adhesions between the body wall and subadjacent organs or between neighboring organs)

*chocolate cysts form when endometrial tissue on the surface of the ovary invades the substance of the tunica albuginea and results in the accumulation of substantial amounts of blood

Front 13

benign smooth muscle tumors located in the myometrium are known as

Back 13

fibroids (leiomyomas)

Front 14

Nabothian cysts form when

Back 14

ducts of cervical glands become occluded

Front 15

around the time of and during ovulation cervical mucous becomes

Back 15

watery (promotes the passage of sperm)

Front 16

during the luteal phase, cervical mucous becomes

Back 16

viscous (prevents movement of bacteria)

Front 17

____ of the cervix is examined (Pap smear) for signs of cervical carcinomsa

Back 17

external os (stratified squamous epithelium)

Front 18

vaginal mucousa consists of stratified sqamous epithelium that contains

Back 18

glycogen

Front 19

occlusion of the ducts of the greater vestibular glands results in the formation of

Back 19

Bartolin's cysts
