labia majora

are two external folds of adipose tissue that envelop the perineal area.

the middle portion is called the

body

vasopressin( pitressin)

causes construction of blood vessels when injected. this drug is used for emergency cardiac response, may be injected into the uterus during hysterectomy .

the fibrous outer layer of the ovary is called the

cortex, it contains follicles that hold ova in different stages of maturity .

this forms a pouch called the

cul-de-sac, the fold is called the bladder flap.

gynecology

focuses on the treatment and prevention of diseases affecting the female reproductive system.

the recessed areas around the cervix are referred to as

fornices

the two sections come together anteriorly where they are attacked by the

frenulum

gynecology requires a

high level of knowledge not only anatomy and physiology, but also important factors that influence the process of childbirth.

clitoris

is a highly vascular organ that contains sensitive erectile tissue, it projects slightly from te anterior folds of the labia minora. Female erectile tissue between the labia

vagina or vaginal vault

is a muscular passageway that shares a thick fibrous wall with the rectum on the posterior side and the bladder on the anterior side.

ovaries

secrete the female hormones, they lie on each side of the uterus in the upper portion, they are suspended by the mesovarium,

broad ligaments

suspend the uterus from the pelvic wall. This drapes over ovaries, fallopian tubes, vascular structures, nerves etc and provides minimal support for the uterus

the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, and their ligaments are collectively called

the adnexa

the opening of the cervix is called

the cervical os , the os is dilated for transservical procedures , it also dilates naturally under hormonal influence during childbirth.

the superior portion of the uterus, which lies above the insertion of the fallopian tubes is called

the fundus

each fallopian tube has four sections

the interstitial section, which connects to the uterus, the narrow isthmus in the midportion, the ampulla which is the widened portion of the tube, and the infundibulum, the terminal end of the tube.

menarche

the onset of menstrual periods, until menopause.

a fold of skin is called

the prepuce or hood,

above the broad ligaments, near the fallopian tubes lie

the round ligaments which help suspend the uterus anteriorly.

vulva

the structures that together make up the external genitalia

the cervix is 0.8 to 1.2 inches long and communicates directly with the

vagina through a small orifice called the external os. during labor and deliver the os dilates as the cervix thins.
