The female reproductive system has several functions: it produces eggs, provides a place for fertilization and baby growth, and secretes female sex hormones. The breasts also produce milk to nourish newborns. The study of the female reproductive system is gynecology. The fallopian tubes extend from the ovaries and help transport eggs and sperm, and fertilization usually occurs within the upper fallopian tubes. A total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus, cervix, both ovaries, and both fallopian tubes, often done to treat cancers or other issues.

System

2. Female Reproductive System
 Function:
The female reproductive system produces ova (the
female reproductive cell), provides a location for
fertilization and growth of a baby, and secretes female
sex hormones. In addition, the breasts produce milk to
nourish the newborn.

3. Female Reproductive System
Complete 3 selective statements from the 10.
1) The study of the female reproductive system is the medical specialty of
Gynecology.
9) The tubes that extend from the outer edges of the uterus and assist in
transporting the ova and sperm are called Fallopian Tubes.
10) One of the longest terms used in medical terminology refers to the
removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and the fallopian tubes. This
term is Total Abdominal Hysterectomy Bilateral Salpingo-
Oophorectomy.

4. Gynecology
 Abbreviation: GYN, gyn
 Gynecology (GYN, gyn)
The branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis
and treatment of disorders/diseases affecting the
female reproductive system, including the breasts.
 Gynecologist
A Gynecologist is a medical specialist that studied the
branch in the female reproductive system and breasts.

5. Fallopian Tubes
 The fallopian tubes, also called the
uterine tubes or oviducts.
 Approximately 5 ½ inches long and
run from the area around each ovary
to either side of the upper portion of
the uterus.
 Ends of the two fallopian tubes are
called Fimbriae, that are finger-like
structures.
 Fimbriae catch an ovum after
ovulation and direct it into the
fallopian tube. Then fallopian tube
can propel the tiny ovum from the
ovary to the uterus so it can be
implanted.
 The meeting of the egg and sperm,
called fertilization or conception,
normally takes place within the upper
one- half of the fallopian tubes.

6. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy
 Abbreviation: TAH-BSO
 Total Abdominal Hysterectomy Bilateral Salpingo-
Oophorectomy (TAH-BSO)
Is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the entire
uterus, cervix, both ovaries, and both fallopian tubes.
 Why it is done? Women undergo TAH-BSO
-To treat Cancers; Fallopian Tubes, Ovary, Cervix, and Uterus
-To treat severe menstrual bleeding problems
-To treat a prolapsed uterus
-Endometrial hyperplasia (Abnormal growth of the uterine lining
which may lead to cancer)
-Endometriosis

7. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy
 How is TAH-BSO done?
 Abdominal is commonly done with an incision with the
lower abdomen.
 Vaginal is done with an incision with the wall of the upper
portion of the vagina.
 Laparoscopic is done with 3 or 4 more incisions are made
with the wall of the abdomen to allow insertion of a
laparoscope.
