refers to the position of the uterus when the uterus is tipped slightly foward so that the cervix forms a 90-degree angle or less with the vaginal canal; most common uterine position

a broad fold of peritoneum draped over the fall. tubes, ut., and the ov.; extends from the sides of the ut., to the sidewalls of the pelvis , dividing the pelvis from side to side and creating the vesicouterine pouch ant. to the ut. and the rectouterine ouch post.; it is divided into the mesometrium, mesosalpinx, and mesvarium

wide bands of fibromus. tiss. arising from the lat. aspects of the cerv. and inserting along the lat. pelv. floor; a continuation of the broad liga. that provides rigid support for the cervix; aka trans. cervical liga.

one of 2 muscles in the pelv. diaph.; located on the post. pelv. floor where it supports the coccyx

an anatomic struct. on the surf. of the ov., consisting of a spheroid of yel. tissue that grows w/in the rupt. ov. follic. after ovulat.; acts as a short-lived endo. organ that secretes progesterone to maint. the decidual layer of the endometrium should concept. occur

pain ass. with menst.

a steroidal horm. secreted by the theca interna and granulosa cells of the ov. follicle that stimulates the dev. of the fem. repro. struct. and sec. sex. char.; prom. the growth of the endomet. tis. dur. the proliferative phase of the menstrual cyc.

port. of the pelv. found above the brim; that portion of th abd. cav. cradled by the iliac fossae; also called the greateer or major pelv.

horm. secreted by the ant. pit. gland that stimulates the growth and maturation of graafian follicles in the ov.

a horm. substance that stimulate the function of the testes and the ovaries ; in the female, FSH and LH are gonadotropins

a hormone secreted by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by the anterior pituitary gland

paired triangular, flat muslces that cover the inner curved surface of the iliac fossae; arise from the iliac fossae and join the psoas muscles to form the lateral walls of the pelvis

a bony ridge on the inner surface of the ilium and pubic bones that divides the true and false pelves; aka pelvic brim or linea terminalis

one of two muscles of the pelvic diaphragm that stretch across the floor of the pelvic cavity like a hammock, supporting the pelvic organs and surrounding the urethra, vagina, and rectum; a broad thin muscle that consists of the pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and puborectalis

a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates ovulation and then induces luteinization of the ruptured follicle to form the corpus luteum

refers to the onset of menstruation and the comencement of cyclic menstrual function; usually occurs between 11 and 13 years of age

refers to the cessation of menstruation

abnormally heavy or long periods

the periodic flow of blood and cellular debris that occurs during menstruation

the portion of the broad ligament below the mesvarium, composed of the layers of peritoneum that separate to enclose the uterus

the upper portion of the broad ligament that encloses the fallopian tubes

the posterior portion of the borad ligament that is drawn out to enclose and hold the ovary in place

a triangular sheet of muslce that arises from the anterolateral pelvic wall and surraounds the obturator foramen; passes through the lesser sciatic foramen and inserts into the medial aspect of the greater trochanter of the femur; serves to rotate and abduct the thigh

abnormally light menstrual period

an incompletely developed or immature ovum

a paired ligament that extends form the inferior/medial pole of the ovary to the uterine cornua; aka utero-ovarian ligament

the female egg; a secondary oocyte released form the ovary at ovulation

a serous membrane enveloping the uterus; aka serosa

a flat, pyramidal muscle arising from the anterior sacrum, passing through the greater sciatic notch to insert into the superior aspect of the greater trochanter of the femur; serves to rotate and abduct the thigh

an abnormally frequent recurrence of the menstrual cycle; a menstrual cycle of less than 21 days

time period of life aftermenopause

time period in young girls before the onset of menstruation

a steroidal hormone produced by the corpus luteum that helps prepare and maintain the endometrium for the arrival and implantation of an embryo

paired muscles that originate at the transverse process of the lumbar vertebraeand extend inferiorly through the false pelvis on the pelvic sidewall, when it unites with the iliacus muscle to form the iliopsoas muscle before inserting into the lesser trochanter of the femur; serves to flex the thigh towards the pelvis

area in the pelvic cavity between the rectum and the uterus that is liekly to accumulate free fluid; aka posteriod cul-de-sac adn pouch of douglas

refers to the position of the uterus when the uterine fundus bends posteriodly upon the cervix

refers to the position of the uterus when the entire uterus is tipped posterioly so that the angle formed between the cervix and vagina canal is greater than 90 degrees

paired ligaments that originateat the uterine cornua, anterior to the fallopian tubes, and course anterolaterally within the broad ligament to insert into the fascia of the labia majora; hold the uterus forward in its anteverted position

located between the anterior bladder wall and the pubic symphysis; contains extraperitoneal fat

parallel longitudinal lines commonly seen in muscle tissue when imaged sonographically; appear as hyperechoic parallel lines running in the long axis of the hypoechoic muscle tissue

paired ligaments that extend form the infundibulum of the fallopian tube and the lateral aspect of the ovary to the lateral pelvic wall; aka infundibulopelvic ligament

pelvic cavity found below th brim of the pelvis ; aka minor or lesser pelvis

posterior portion of the cardinal ligament that extends form the cervix to the sacrum

area in the pelvic cavity between the urinary bladder and the uterus; aka anterior cul-de-sac

bones that comprise the boney pelvis

What do the Wolffian ducts and mullerian ducts do in males?

What do the Wolffian ducts and mullerian ducts do in females?

The innominate bones are formed by the fusion of what three things

True pelvis divided into

functions of the pelvic skeleton

muscles in the false pelvis
