Study Notes
Reproductive Health
- A discharge from the nipples may be caused by breast cancer.
- Fibroids are benign tumors that grow in the uterine wall.
- Vaginitis is associated with an abnormal amount of vaginal discharge.
- Ovarian cancer often has mild or indistinct signs and symptoms until it spreads to other organs, making early detection difficult.
- Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix.
- Endometriosis is a condition where tissues of the uterine lining grow outside the uterus.
- Chlamydia is a bacterial infection.
- Herpes simplex 2 is an STI that causes blisters on or around the genitals or rectum, and there is no treatment to cure it.
- Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection caused by a protozoan.
- Crabs, also known as pubic lice, are caused by blood-sucking insects.
Fetal Development
- Blastocyst is the stage at which the embryo implants in the uterine wall.
- Embryonic period includes week 2-8 of pregnancy.
- Fetal period includes week 9 until delivery.
- Cleavage is the rapid cell division of the zygote.
- Morula travels down the fallopian tubes to the uterus and becomes a blastocyst.
- Mesoderm is the middle layer of the embryo that becomes connective tissue.
- Yolk sac makes new blood cells for the fetus.
- Amnion is the protective sac around the embryo.
- Endoderm gives rise to epithelial tissues only.
- Ectoderm gives rise to nervous tissue.
- Ductus venosus allows blood to bypass the liver during fetal development.
- Foramen ovale is located between the right and left atria during fetal development.
- Ductus arteriosus is located between the pulmonary trunk and the aorta.
Contraception
- Oral contraceptives contain low doses of estrogen and progesterone.
- Rhythm method relies on abstinence from intercourse during ovulation.
- Coitus interruptus requires the male to withdraw before ejaculation.
- Mechanical barriers, such as diaphragms, prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
- IUDs prevent implantation of the blastocyst.
Skin Health
- Melanin helps prevent UV radiation from damaging deep skin structures.
- ABCDE rule applies to melanoma.
- Inflammation response to skin injury carries defensive cells to the area.
- The rule of nines estimates the extent of a burn injury.
- Keratinocytes are located in the epidermis.
- Melanin is deposited throughout the epidermis, protecting underlying skin layers from UV radiation.
