RACK 5 EMBERYLOGY WITH ANOMALIES

The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that is an essential part of the female reproductive system. Here are some gross anatomical points related to the uterus:

Gangrene is a clinical condition of ischemic and necrotic tissue, often circumferential around a digit or extremity. It is identified by discolored or black tissue and associated sloughing of natural tissue planes. The three main types of gangrene are wet gangrene, dry gangrene, and gas gangrene.

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus.

Fibroids can vary in size and location within the uterus. They can be small and undetectable to the naked eye or grow to be large and distort the shape of the uterus. Some fibroids grow within the uterine wall, while others grow on the outer surface of the uterus or extend into the uterine cavity.

1. Location: The ovaries are located on either side of the uterus in the female pelvis. They are held in place by ligaments that attach them to the uterus and pelvic wall.
2. Size: The size of the ovaries can vary depending on age and reproductive status. In adult women, they are typically around 3-5 cm in length.
3. Structure: Each ovary is roughly almond-shaped and consists of two main parts: the cortex and the medulla. The cortex is the outer layer of the ovary and contains follicles, which are structures that contain immature eggs.

various pathological conditions that can affect the gland, such as goiter, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. However, gangrenous thyroid is not mentioned as a distinct pathology.

Omphalocele is a rare congenital abdominal wall defect with a reported prevalence of 3.38 per 10,000 pregnancies. It is a protrusion of the abdominal contents covered with peritoneum through the base of the umbilical cord. Omphalocele can be isolated but is more frequently associated with other congenital anomalies and syndromes such as Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and trisomies 13, 18, and 21. The survival rate is close to 80%, and it is directly related to the severity of the associated anomalies, as infants with isolated omphalocele have a higher survival rate (90%).

There are several types of uterine fibroids, classified based on their location within the uterus:

Graafian Follicle Structure: The Graafian follicle is a fluid-filled sac that contains an immature egg, also known as an oocyte. It is surrounded by layers of cells, including the theca cells, which produce androgen hormones, and granulosa cells, which produce estrogen. As the follicle grows, it pushes against the ovarian surface until it reaches maturity, at which point it ruptures and releases the oocyte into the fallopian tube for fertilization.
