HA GENITALIA

• Vulva or pudendum. The external genitalia
• Mons pubis is a round firm pad of adipose tissue covering the symphysis pubis
• Labia Majora- Two rounded folds of adipose tissue extending from the mons pubis down and around the perineum
• Labia Minora- Two smaller, darker fold of skin inside the labia majora.
• Frenulum- A transverse fold which joins the labia minora posteriorly
• Clitoris- A small, pea- shaped erectile body, homologous with the male penis and highly sensitive to tactile stimulation
• Vestible is the labial structures encircle a boat-shaped space
• Urethral Meatus- a dimple 2.5 cm posterior opening posterior to the clitoris
• Vagina- a flattened tubular canal extending from the orifice up and backward into the pelvis. Leads into the female reproductive tract
• Rugae-Thick transverse folds which enable the vagina to dilate during childbrith
• Hymen-A thin membrane that partially covers the external opening of the vagina
• Cervix- a smooth doughnut-shaped area with a small circular hole or os, found at the end of the canal that leads into the uterus
• Anterior fornix is a continuous recess present in front of the cervix
• Posterior fornix is continuous recess found in back of cervix
• Rectouterine pouch or cul de sac of douglas is found behind the posterior fornix, a deep recess formed by the peritoneum dips down between the rectum and cervix
• Uterus- a pear-shaped thick walled muscular organ which a fetus develops. Flattened anteroposteriorly. 5.5 to 8cm by 3.5-4 cm wide and 2-2.5 thick
• Fallopian tubes are two pliable trumpet shaped tubes, 10 cm long extending from the uterine fundus laterally to the brim of the pelvis. Transports egg cel from ovary to uterus
• Ovaries- primary reproductive organ of female. Produces egg cell. 3 cm long 2 cm wide
• what position should a woman do for female genitalia examination?

  Lithotomy
• Penis is am external reproductive organ of the male through which urethra passes. Compose of three cylindrical columns of erectile tissue
• penis has 2 corpora cavernosa on dorsal side and one corpus spongiosom vetrally
• Glans or corpus spongiosom is a cone of erectile tissue found at the distal end of shaft
• Urethra in Men is a tube leading from urinary bladder to the outside of body transverse the corpus spong. and its meatus forms a slit at the glans tip
• Frenulum in Male- is a forskin extending from urethral meatus ventrally
• The scrotum is a loose, protective sac, that ecloses testes.
• Epididymis is a highly coiled tubule that leads from the seminiferous tubules of the testes to the vas deferens. Storage of sperm
• Vas deferens is a muscular duct or tube that leads from the epididymis to the urethra of the male repro. tract
• Spermatic cord ascends along the posterior border of the testes and runs through the tunnel of the inguinal canal into the abdomen
• Ejaculatory duct is a duct of the seminal vesicle behind the bladder which empties into the urethra
• Lymphatics- where the penis scrotal surface drain into the inguinal lymph nodes, those of testes drain into the abdomen
• Phimosis - unable to retract foreskin
• Paraphimosis- unable to return foreskin to original position
• Hypospadias- ventral location of meatus
• Epispadias- dorsal location of meatus
