Study Notes
Reproductive System Anatomy & Physiology
-
Female Reproductive System (FRS) Learning Objectives: Students will be able to describe the parts (external, internal organs, and breasts) of the FRS, and explain their functions.
-
External Organs (Vulva): Include Mons Veneris (Mons Pubis), Labia Majora, Labia Minora, Clitoris, Vestibule (Urethral Orifice, Skene's Glands, Vaginal Orifice, Bartholin's Glands), and Perineum.
-
Internal Organs: Comprise Vagina, Uterus, Fallopian Tubes, and Ovaries.
-
Breast Anatomy: Contain mammary glands, connective tissue, 15-25 lobes connected by ducts opening into the nipples. Nipples are erectile tissue, areola is pigmented. Breast size is influenced by heredity, fat, and glandular tissue.
Male Reproductive System
-
Male Reproductive System Functions: Produce, maintain, and transport sperm (reproductive cells); discharge sperm during sex; produce and secrete male sex hormones.
-
Male Reproductive System External Organs: Include penis, scrotum, and testicles (testes).
-
Penis Anatomy: Composed of three parts: root (attaches to abdominal wall), body or shaft, and glans (tip). The glans contains the urethral opening, and is covered by foreskin (sometimes removed through circumcision).
-
Scrotum Anatomy: The loose pouch-like skin that contains the testes and various nerves and blood vessels. Temperature regulation of testes is a key function.
-
Testicles (Testes) Anatomy: Oval organs that produce sperm and testosterone.
-
Accessory Organs: Epididymis (transports and stores sperm), Vas Deferens (transports mature sperm), Ejaculatory Ducts (fusion of vas deferens and seminal vesicles), Urethra (carries urine and semen), Seminal Vesicles (produce a sugar-rich fluid), Prostate Gland (provides fluid to ejaculate), and Bulbourethral Glands (lubricate urethra).
Pelvic Anatomy
-
Pelvic Anatomy, General Objective: Acquired complete knowledge of the normal female pelvis.
-
Specific Objectives: List features of the normal female pelvis, identify types of pelvises, discuss components and measurements of the gynecoid pelvis, and identify the pelvic diaphragm.
-
Bony Pelvis Composition: Composed of two innominate bones each consisting of ilium, ischium, pubis, one sacrum, and one coccyx.
-
Pelvic Division: Two sections, false pelvis (above pelvic brim) and true pelvis (below pelvic brim). The true pelvis is for childbirth.
-
Pelvic Diameters: Antero-posterior, diagonal conjugate, transverse, and oblique diameters need careful measurement during childbirth.
-
Pelvic Outlet: Obstetric outlet is essential for child birth. Bounded anteriorly by the lower border of the symphysis pubis, posteriorly by the coccyx, and laterally by ischial spines.
-
Pelvic Types: Gynecoid (most favorable for childbirth), Anthropoid, Android, and Platypelloid are the four types, each with different pelvic dimensions.
-
Pelvic Floor: Soft tissue filling the pelvic bony outlet; contains pelvic peritoneum, pelvic fascia, levator ani muscles, perineal muscles, and the skin of the perineum.
-
Pelvic Outlet Importance for Childbirth: Pelvic outlet parameters help determine childbirth difficulty.
