What .are .the .three .layers .of .the .uterus .and .what .is .the .function .of .each .layer?
.- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Endometrium .(inner .layer)
- .The .superficial .stratum .functionalis .proliferates .in .response .to .oestrogen .and
.becomes .secretory .in .response .to .progesterone .(thickens .to .prepare .to
.support .a .fertilised .egg)
-If .fertilisation .occurs, .embryo .implants .here .and .this .is .the .site .of .placental
.development
-Sheds .during .menstruation
-Regenerates .from .cells .in .the .stratum .basalis .layer
Myometrium .(middle, .muscular .layer)
- .Contracts .during .labour .to .push .baby .out
- .Contracts .during .menstruation .to .expel .the .uterus .lining
- .Undergoes .hyperthrophy .(increase .in .size .of .cells .and .hyperplasia .(increase
.in .number .of .cells) .during .pregnancy .which .strengthrns .the .uterus .for .carrying
.the .Fetus .and .faciliating .contractions
Perimetrium .(outer .layer)
- .Protects .the .uterus
- .Reduces .friction .between .the .uterus .and .other .organs
Where .does .fertilisation .typically .occur? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-In .the .ampulla .of
.the .fallopian .tube
- .Longest .and .widest .part .of .fallopian .tube
- .The .fimbriae .of .the .fallopian .tube .guide .the .egg .to .the .tube .and .the .ampulla .is
.the .first .area .the .egg .encouters .where .it .meets .sperm
Name .the .primary .female .reproductive .organs? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Internal:
-Ovaries
.Produce .eggs .and .secretes .hormones
-Fallopian .tubes
.Transport .egg .from .ovary .to .the .uterus
.Site .of .fertilisation
, -Uterus
.The .fertilised .egg .implants .
.Develops .into .a .fetus .here
.Fundus- .upper, .rounded .portion
.Body- .main .part
.Cervix- .narrow, .lower .part .that .connects .to .vagina .
-Vagina
.Muscular .canal .that .acts .as .a .birth .canal .during .delivery
.Receives .sperm .during .intercourse
.Outlet .for .menstrual .flow .
External:
- .Vulva .
.Mons .pubis: .fatty, .rounded .area .over .pubic .bone .and .is .where .the .hair .is
.Labia .Majora: .outer .folds .that .enclose .and .protect .other .external .structures
.Labia .Minora: .inner .folds .that .protect .vaginal .and .urethral .openings
.
.Clitoris: .involved .in .sexual .arousal
.Urethral .opening: .opening .of .the .uretha .for .excretion .of .urine
.Vaginal .opening: .external .opening .of .vaginal
.Bartholins .Gland: .glands .secrete .lubrication
What .is .the .role .of .the .cervix .during .labour? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-The .cervic
.dilates .and .effaces .(thins) .so .baby .can .pass .through
What .are .the .phases .of .menstrual .cycle .and .what .happens .in .them? .-
.CORRECT .ANSWER-Menstrual .Phase .(Day .1-5)
- .Endometrium .sheds .causing .the .menstrual .bleeding .(Low .levels .of .oestrogen
.and .progesterone)
- .This .happens .when .previous .cycle .did .not .result .in .pregnancy
-FSH .rises .signalling .ovaries .to .prepare .for .next .cycle
Follicular .Phase .(Day .1-13)
- .Follices .in .ovaries .begin .to .mature .because .of .FSH
-Egg .prepares .for .ovulation
-Endometrium .rebuilds .in .preperation .for .possible .implantation .(rising
.oestrogen .levels .stimulate .the .thickening .of .uterus .lining)
Ovulation .(Day .14)
- .Mature .egg .is .released .from .ovary .into .fallopian .tube
