This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 30c. Uterus, ENDOMETRIUM -Simple columnar epithelium -Both ciliated and nonciliated cells -Highly cellular lamina propria divided into Basal layer -Unaffected by menstral cycle, MYOMETRIUM -Muscular wall -Thickest subcompartment -3 Layers of smooth muscle "lOl" -Houses arcuate arteries changes size depending on Estrogen -Causes hyperplasia -Lack of estrogen causes apoptosis Largest during pregnancy, CERVIX includes Mucus secreting simple columnar, CERVIX includes Cervical epithelium -Unaffected by menstrual cycle, Branched cervical glands -Secrete mucus & lysozyme secretion changes with menstrual phase Proliferative -Water, serous -Promotes entry of sperm, Basal layer -Unaffected by menstral cycle houses deepest part of Glands -glycogen -mucus Structure varies -Proliferative = straight -Secretory = coiled, BODY consists of ENDOMETRIUM -Simple columnar epithelium -Both ciliated and nonciliated cells -Highly cellular lamina propria, UTERUS receives the Oviducts, MYOMETRIUM -Muscular wall -Thickest subcompartment -3 Layers of smooth muscle "lOl" -Houses arcuate arteries Houses arcuate arteries, Basal layer -Unaffected by menstral cycle see Menstrual cycle, Branched cervical glands -Secrete mucus & lysozyme secretion changes with menstrual phase Secretory phase -More mucus -Creates a sperm plug, ENDOMETRIUM -Simple columnar epithelium -Both ciliated and nonciliated cells -Highly cellular lamina propria divided into Functional layer -Gets sloughed off during menstrual cycle, CERVIX feeds into Vagina, Cervical epithelium -Unaffected by menstrual cycle note abrupt transition Cervical Os -Changes to stratified squamous non keratinized epithelium of vagina, BODY consists of MYOMETRIUM -Muscular wall -Thickest subcompartment -3 Layers of smooth muscle "lOl" -Houses arcuate arteries, UTERUS Properties -Pear shaped -Thick organ, Properties -Pear shaped -Thick organ Continuous with vagina, Functional layer -Gets sloughed off during menstrual cycle see Menstrual cycle, Houses arcuate arteries branches into Straight arteries, Cervical Os -Changes to stratified squamous non keratinized epithelium of vagina clinically Site of cervical cancer
