Medical Terminology Chapter 13 Female Reproductive System
Female Reproductive SystemAnatomy and Physiology • ovaries • fallopian tubes • uterus • fundus • cervix • vagina • myometrium • endometrium
Ovaries • two almond-shaped organs on either side of the uterus • contain hundreds of thousands of ova • all ova are present at birth • each ovum is surrounded by a single layer of cells comprising a follicle • ova are the female gametes
Fallopian Tubes • oviducts, uterine tubes: salping/o • extend laterally from each side of the uterus supported by the broad ligament • outer ends of the tube are open to receive a released ovum • finger-like projections at the outer ends (fimbriae)propel the ova into the tube • fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes
Uterus (Womb) • pear-shaped organ with very strong, smooth muscle walls with a mucosal membrane lining called the endometrium • hyster/o, metr/o, metri/o, uter/o • endometrium responsive to hormonal changes • anteflexion (normal position) • cervix
Vagina • tubular structure extending backward and upward to the cervix • lined with mucosa • colp/o and vagin/o
Menstruation • menarche • menstruation • menatrual phase • follicular phase • luteal phase
Pregnancy • Gestation • parturition • implantation • zygote (2 wks) • embryo (2-8 wks) • fetus (9 wk - delivery)
Labor and Childbirth • Stage of dilation - first • effacement • stage of expulsion - second • stage of placenta - third
Childbirth • antepartum, postpartum • operculum • amniotic sac • presentation • crowning
The Mother • gravida • para • nulligravida, nullipara • primigravida, primipara • multipara • viable
Menopause • Menopause • amenorrhea • climacteric • estrogen replacement therapy • osteoporosis
Postpartum • natal, neonate • meconium • uterine involution • lochia • colostrum • lactation
Pathology • Dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia • Premenstrual syndrome • Endometriosis • Pelvic Infections • Vaginal Infections
Sexually Transmitted Diseases • Gonorrhea • asymptomatic • oophoritis • salpingitis • urethritis • dysuria • cystitis • arthritis
Uterine Tumors • Uterine Tumors • Leiomyomas • Oncology • Cervical Cancers • Pap smears
Diagnostic Procedures • Endovaginal ultrasound • Papanicolaou test • amniocentesis • pelvimetry • electronic fetal monitor • hysterosalpingogram • colposcopy • laparoscopy
