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.
