  9. WHat is homologous to the male Gonads
    Ovaries
  10. It resembles a large almond in size and shape, located on each side of the uterus and just below and behind the uterine tubes
    Ovaries
  11. Name the ligament that anchors the ovaries to the uterus
    Ovarian Ligament
  12. how much does the ovaries weigh
    3 g
  13. Contains blood vessels and nerves that feed to the ovaries and attaches them to the broad ligament
    Mesovarian ligament
  14. Developement of the fetus in a location other than the uterus
    Ectopic Pregnancy
  15. What are the two major layers of the ovary
    The outer cortex and the medulla
  16. Slightly raised squamous epithelial cells that cover the outer cortex of the ovary
    Germinal epithelium

    • estrogen(limited)
  23. Progesteron and inhibin prevent the continued developement of new follicals durning the functional life of the corpus luteum by
    Supressing FSH secretion
  24. WHat are the functions of the ovaries

    • Body
    • Cervix
  28. WHat are the three layers of the uterus
    • Inner endometrium
    • Middle Myometrium
    • Outer incomplete paretial peritoneum
  29. Suckling of an infant stimulates the antipuitary gland to secret what
    Prolactin
  30. What stimulates breast alveoli to secret milk
    Prolactin
  31. Suckling from the infant secrets the posterior pituitary gland to secret what
    Oxytocin
  32. WHat stimulates breast alveoli to eject milk from which the infant can remove it
    Oxytocin
  33. Suckling stimulates the anterior and posterior gland to secrete what two hormones that aid in milk production and secretion and removal
    • Prolactin
    • oxycitocin
  34. Most of the time the cervical mucus acts as a barrier to sperm except around the time of ovulation, what happens to help facilitate movement of sperm through the cervix
    It becomes more slippery
  35. The parietal peritoneum is incomplete, what part of the uterus is covered
    Only the body
  36. During menapause what is the process that results in decrease in size and a position deep in the pelvis
    involution
  37. What is the normal position of the uterus
    Antiflexed
  38. What is retroflexion of the uterus
    backwards tilting of the entire organ
  39. What are the eight uterine ligaments that hold the uterus in its normal position
    • Broad pair
    • utersacral pair
    • round pair
    • an anterior
    • a posterior
  40. double Folds at the parietial pertonium forming a kind of partition accross the pelvic cavity suspending the uterus between them
    Broad ligaments
  41. foldlike extension of the peritonium going from the postier surface to the sacrum
    uterosacral
  42. extending from the postieror surface of the peritonium to the rectum
    postieror ligament
  43. this ligament forms a deep pouch called the posterior culdi-sac or rectouterine pouch
    posteriour ligament
  44. fold between the anterior surface of the peritonium and the bladder
    Anterior ligament
  45. Has the vesticouterine pouch
    anteriour ligament
  46. extending from the upper outer edges of the uterus through the inguannal cannals terminating in the labia majora
    round ligaments
  47. these hormones control breast development during puberty
    estrogen and progesterone
  48. WHich hormone stimulates the aveoli to secrete milk
    prolactin
  49. THIS hormone stimulates the alveoli to eject milk
    oxytocin
  50. Preovulatory phase, estrogenic phase and follicular phase are all part of the
    Post menstral phase
  51. day 1-5 of a new cycle
