Vulva
The pudendacommonly designated the vulva includes all structures visible externally from the pubis to the perineal body. Includes:
mons pubis labia majora and minora Clitoris Hymen Vestibule urethral opening greater vestibular or Bartholin glands minor vestibular glands paraurethral glands
Musculomembranous structure Extends from the vulva to the uterus Upper portion: mllerian duct; lower portion: urogenital sinus Anteriorly: vesicovaginal septum; Posteriorly: rectovaginal septum. The upper fourth of the vagina is separated from the rectum by the recto-uterine pouch, also called the cul-de-sac of Douglas. Vaginal length varies considerably, but commonly, the anterior and posterior vaginal walls are, respectively, 6 to 8 cm and 7 to 10 cm in length. Upper end of the vaginal vault is subdivided into anterior, posterior, and two lateral fornices by the cervix.
Proximal portion: cervical branch of the uterine artery and by the vaginal artery posterior vaginal wall: middle rectal artery distal walls: internal pudendal artery
Vascular supply
diamond-shaped area between the thighs The anterior, posterior, and lateral boundaries of the perineum are the same as those of the bony pelvic outlet:
Anteriorly: pubic symphysis Anterolaterally: ischiopubic rami and ischial tuberosities Posterolaterally: sacrotuberous ligaments Posteriorly: coccyx
urogenital triangle bounded by the pubic rami superiorly, the ischial tuberosities laterally, and the superficial transverse perineal muscle posteriorly
anal triangle contains the ischiorectal fossa, anal canal, anal sphincter complex, and branches of the internal pudendal vessels and pudendal nerve

Arcuate
arteries - encircle endometrium Radial arteries connect arcuate to straight Straight arteries deliver blood to basilar zone Spiral arteries deliver blood to functional zone
Barrel shaped structure measuring about 3cm long Extends from the isthmus of uterus to the upper portion of vagina Divided into:
The ends of the fallopian tubes lying next to the ovaries feather into ends called fimbria
Millions of tiny hair-like cilia line the fimbria and interior of the fallopian tubes. The cilia beat in waves hundreds of times a second catching the egg at ovulation and moving it through the tube to the uterine cavity. Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tube
Paired, almond-shaped bodies measuring 3x2x1cm Has 2 surfaces (lateral and medial), 2 borders (anterior and posterior) and 2 poles (upper and lower) they produce eggs (also called ova) every female is born with a lifetime supply of eggs they also produce hormones:
composed
of four bones: the sacrum, coccyx, and two innominate bones (ilium, ischium, pubis)
False pelvis
lies above the linea terminalis Boundaries: posteriorly by the lumbar vertebra and laterally by the iliac fossa, anteriorly by the lower portion of the anterior abdominal wall
True pelvis
below the linea terminalis Boundaries: above by the promontory and alae of the sacrum, the linea terminalis, and the upper margins of the pubic bones, and below by the pelvic outlet.
Pelvic
Boundaries:
Posteriorly:promontory and alae of the sacrum Laterally: linea terminalis Anteriorly: horizontal pubic rami and the symphysis pubis
4 diameters of the pelvic inlet are usually described: anteroposterior, transverse, and two oblique diameters. The obstetrically important AP diameter: obstetrical conjugate (>10cm; cannot be measured directly)
Measured
at the level of the ischial spines The interspinous diameter, 10 cm or slightly greater, is usually the smallest pelvic diameter.
This consists of two approximately triangular areas that are not in the same plane. They have a common base, which is a line drawn between the two ischial tuberosities The apex of the posterior triangle is at the tip of the sacrum, and the lateral boundaries are the sacrosciatic ligaments and the ischial tuberosities. The anterior triangle is formed by the area under the pubic arch. Three diameters of the pelvic outlet usually are described: the anteroposterior, transverse, and posterior sagittal.
Diagonal conjugate determination Engagement Fixation (No more movement left to right) Mueller-Hillis maneuver Bimanual exam to ensure position of the BPD at station 0.
Subpubic arch (90-1000) Biischial diameter - done by placing a closed fist on the perineum (Normally > 8 cm because the closed fist is approximately 8 cm.)

Physiologic process during which the products of conception are expelled outside of the uterus Labor is a clinical diagnosis Characterized as regular, painful uterine contractions Following painful uterine contractions, other signs that point out to true labor:
Engagement
Descent Flexion Internal
Latent phase: period between the onset of labor and when the rate of cervical dilatation changes most rapidly, usually at about 3-4cm Active phase: period of increased rapidity of cervical dilatation and ends with complete cervical dilatation of 10cm
THIRD
STAGE OF LABOR:
After delivery of the fetus until the delivery of the placenta Delivery of the placenta may require less than 10 minutes, but the duration may last as long as 30 minutes before active intervention is considered
