Mons Veneris

A pad of adipose tissue located over the symphysis pubis that protects the junction of the pubic bone from trauma.

2
New cards

Labia Minora

Hairless folds of connective tissue posterior to the mons veneris that become firm and full during childbearing age.

3
New cards

Labia Majora

Two folds of adipose tissue positioned lateral to the labia minora.

4
New cards

Ovaries

Produce, mature, and discharge ova, as well as produce estrogen and progesterone.

5
New cards

Fallopian Tubes

Convey ova from the ovaries to the uterus and provide a place for fertilization by sperm.

6
New cards

10cm

Fallopian tubes are approximately ______ in length in a mature woman.

7
New cards

isthmus

The most proximal division of fallopian tubes, the interstitial portion, ________ is the next distal portion. It is, like the interstitial tube, extremely narrow.

8
New cards

Ampulla

The third and also the longest portion of the fallopian tube. This is where fertilization of an ovum usually occurs.

9
New cards

Infundibular

This portion is approximately 2cm long and is funnel shaped. 

10
New cards

Uterus

A hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ located in the lower pelvis that consists of the fundus, body/corpus, and cervix.

11
New cards

50 to 70g

Uterus lies in the center of the pelvic cavity between the base of the bladder and the rectum and above the vagina. It is level or slightly below the brim of the pelvis, with an external opening of the cervix about the level of the ischial spines. The mature organ weighs about ________ and approximately 7.5 cm long ang 5cm wide, and 1 to 2.5 cm thick.

12
New cards

Endometrium
Myometrium
Perimetrium

Uterine walls of three separate coats or layers of tissue. 

13
New cards

Vagina

A hollow musculo membranous canal located posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum that serves as the organ of intercourse and to convey sperm to the cervix so sperm can meet with the ovum in the fallopian tube and serve as birth canal.

14
New cards

pH 4.0 to 5.0

The acidic vaginal environment normal during a woman’s reproductive life.

15
New cards

7.5

A relative neural pH of ___ is normal from infancy until puberty and after menopause. 

16
New cards

Menstruation

Periodic uterine bleeding in response to cyclic hormonal changes, allowing for conception and implantation of a new life.

17
New cards

Menarch

The first menstruation period in girls, may occur as early as 9 or as late as 17 and still be within normal limits.

18
New cards

Anovulatory cycle

Emotional and physical factors can alter the cycle interval. Frequently ovulation does not occur in early cycles this is known as

19
New cards

Human Sexuality

A multidimensional phenomenon that includes feelings, attitudes, and actions, influenced by both biology and culture. This is the expression of sexual feelings due to genetic predisposition or one’s own personal experimentation

20
New cards

Excitement

occurs with physical and physiologic (sight, sound, emotion, or thought) stimulation that causes parasympathetic nerve stimulation. This lead to arterial dilation and venous constriction in the genital area.

21
New cards

Vasocongestion

In women, this causes the clitoris to increase in size and mucoid fluid to appear on vaginal walls as lubrication.

22
New cards

Sexuality

Can be influenced by hormonal changes in the development of the fetus during pregnancy. Also influences social behavior. Can also be understood as part of the social life of human, governed by implied rules of behavior status.

23
New cards

Sexual identity

Can be molded by the social environment to which one is exposed, e.g. an authority figure giving a little boy a toy truck to play with, and a girl a doll.

24
New cards

Human Sexual Response

The stages of excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution that occur during sexual stimulation and activity.

25
New cards

Plateau

reached just before orgasm. In the woman, the clitoris is drawn forward and retracts under the clitoris prepuce: the lower part of the vagina becomes extremely congested (formation of the orgasmic platform), and there is increased nipple engorgement. In men, the vasocongestion leads to full distention of the penis. Heart rate increases to 100 to 175 beats per minute and respiratory  rate to approximately 40 respiration per rate 

26
New cards

Orgasm

occurs when stimulation proceeds through the plateau stage to a point at which the body suddenly discharges accumulated sexual tension. A vigorous contraction of the muscles in the pelvic area expels or dissipates blood and fluid from the area of congestion.

27
New cards

8-15

In orgasm, the average number of contractions from the woman is from ____ contractions intervals of one every 0.8 sec.

28
New cards

seminal vessels and prostrate

Orgasm of men happens with muscle contraction surrounding the ___________ projects semen into the proximal urethra. These contractions are followed immediately by three to seven propulsive ejaculatory contractions, occurring at the same time interval in woman, which force semen from the penis. 

29
New cards

Resolution

is the period during which the external and internal genitalia organs return to an un-aroused state.

30
New cards

Clitoris

Hymen 

Skene’s glands or the paraurethral gland

Bartholin’s gland

Fourchette

Other external organs (CHSBF)
