Term
the ligament of the ovary
Definition
what ligament is where the gubernaculum used to be attached to the ovary?
Term
the ligament of the ovary
Definition
what ligament is really continuous with the round ligament, but adheres to the uterus posteriorly?
Term
mostly above the peritoneal membrane, but some of it is in the deep pouch of the pelvic cavity
Definition
where is the vagina in relation to the peritoneal membrane?
Term
the round ligament of the uterus
Definition
what ligament is stuck to the labia majora?
Term
just connective tissue, no vessels, it is an embryonic remnant
Definition
what is found in the round ligament of the uterus?
Term
it is the part of the uterus that sticks out above the isthmus of the uterine tube
Definition
where is the fundus of the uterus located in relation to the isthmus of the uterine tube?
Term
the isthmus
Definition
narrow part of the uterine tube that connects directly to the uterus
Term
infundibulum
Definition
entrance and widest part of the uterine tube
Term
ampulla
Definition
the lateral bend in the uterine tube
Term
lateral about 2/3 the height of the uterus
Definition
where is the ovary in relation to the uterus?
Term
it gets resorbed (hopefully)
Definition
what happens to an unfertilized egg if it gets into the peritoneal cavity?
Term
fimbriae
Definition
what are the finger like projections found in the end of the infundibulum?
Term
the ostium
Definition
because the infundibulum of the uterine tube is a large diameter and the ampulla is narrower, what is the name of the hole where these two areas meet?
Term
the infundibulum is posterior to the isthmus (it curves back)
Definition
what is the relationship of the infundibulum to the isthmus?
Term
isthmus
Definition
narrowest part of the uterine tube
Term
smooth
Definition
what kind of muscle is around the uterus?
Term
at the beginning of the cervical canal, the internal ostium
Definition
where does the body of the uterus end? what is the name for this point?
Term
external ostium
Definition
this structure, visible on pelvic exam is the hole in the cervix
Term
fornix of the vagina
Definition
circular "gutter" reflection of vaginal wall around the cervix
Term
no
Definition
is there a functional difference between the fundus and the body of the uterus?
Term
triangular
Definition
what is the shape of the uterine cavity?
Term
quadrants
Definition
how is the fornix around the cervix divided?
Term
anteversion
Definition
angle between the cervix and vagina
Term
anteflexion
Definition
angle between cervix and uterus
Term
90 degrees
Definition
what is the normal axis of the vagina (angle between cervix and uterus)
Term
posterior fornix behind the cervix
Definition
what is typically the most superior part of the vagina?
Term
full bladder: pushes uterus back
full rectum: pushes pushes the uterus forward
Definition
what does a full bladder do to the uterus? a full rectum?
Term
mesosalpinx
Definition
what ligament is associated with the uterine tube?
Term
the mesovarium
Definition
what ligament is between the back of the ovary and the broad ligament?
Term
mesometrium
Definition
what ligament is draped between the ovary and the uterus
Term
ovarian artery & vein + lymphatics
Definition
what is found in the suspensory ligament of the ovary?
Term
suspensory ligament of the ovary
Definition
what ligaments suspends the ampulla and ovary while transmitting vessels and lymph?
Term
no, it is under the lowest part of the broad lig, in the peritoneal cavity
Definition
is the ureter in the broad ligament?
Term
mesovarium, mesometrium, mesosalpinx
(and round ligament within)
Definition
what ligaments are contained in the broad ligament of the uterus?
Term
uterine artery
Definition
what artery is found in the broad ligament?
Term
the round ligament is anterior to the uterine tube
Definition
what is the relationship between the round ligament and the uterine tube?
Term
tube is anterior (and the round ligament is anterior to that)
Definition
what is the relationship between the uterine tube and the ovary?
Term
pubovesical ligament
Definition
what ligament attaches the bladder to the arcus tendineus?
Term
the transverse cervical lig. aka cardinal ligament

this ligament is inferior to the broad ligament
Definition
what ligament attaches the cervix to the arcus tendineus? where is this in relation to the broad ligament?
Term
not really
Definition
does the broad ligament help prevent prolapse of the uterus?
Term
the uterosacral ligament
Definition
what ligament goes from the uterus to blend in with the CT covering the sacrum?
Term
pubovesical then transverse, then uterosacral
Definition
which ligament is most anterior: uterosacral, pubovesical, transverse cervical
Term
1) clitoris
2) vestibule, which includes the:
3) urethral opening
4) vaginal orifice
Definition
put these structures in order of anterior to posterior:

vaginal orifice, vestibule, urethral opening, clitoris
Term
mucus membrane
Definition
what kind of epithelium covers the labia minorum?
Term
it goes from mucus membrane to skin, has the erectile tissue below it
Definition
hat kind of epithelium covers the labia majorum?
Term
just the crura form it, it is unclear how far the bulb goes into the clitoris
Definition
in males the bulb of the penis extends to make the glans, what happens in females to form the glans of the clitoris?
Term
the great vestibular duct and gland

pea sized gland that lubricates the vestibule
Definition
what structure lies directly posterior to the bulb of the vestibule? what does it do?
Term
the dorsal artery and nerve to the clitoris
Definition
what vessels go under the pubic symphysis to superficial tissues, not erectile tissues and do sensory only
Term
the suspensory ligament (of the clitoris/penis)
Definition
what ligament suspends the gland of the clitoris to the pubic symphysis?
Term
lateral, mediolateral, midline
Definition
what are the 3 types of episiotomies?
Term
mediolateral -
1) doesn't damage as many structures as the lateral one would (like the bulbospongiosus, bulb of vestibule, superficial transverse muscle, perineal membrane, nerves and vessels)
2) it starts at the perineal body which is easy to repair by stitching back together
3) if it tore further, it would not tear into the rectum, like the midline one
Definition
what is the best type of episiotomy? why?
