A

Parasympathetics from pelvic splanchnic nerves via inferior hypogastric plexus

Sympathetics from Superior and Inferior Hypogastric Plexus

25
Q

What is a rectal prolapse?

A

Abnodmal descent of rectum through anal canal

Can occur in young children due to lack of sacrum curvature

Can ocur if not enough suppor from puborectalis muscle of levator ani

26
Q

What is a bony landmark for beginning of anal canal?

Where does it bend?

What two structures does it descend between?

A

Coccyx

Anorectal Junction

Anococcygeal Body / Perineal Body

27
Q

What aids the two anal sphincters?

What type of sphincter is the Internal Anal Sphincter?

What type is the External anal Sphincter?

A

Puborectalis part of Levator Ani

Internal = Involuntary; parasympathetics relax

External = Voluntary; Inferior Rectal Nerve CLOSES anal canal

28
Q

What are the 3 parts to the external anal sphincter?

A

Deep Park - fused w/puborectalis

Superficial - Keeps in median plane by attachment to perineal body and anococcygeal body

Subcutaneous - surrounds anus

29
Q

What is the location of the sling formed from puborectalis muscle?

A

Anorectal Junction

Border between rectum and anal canal

30
Q

Interior Anal Canal - Upper Half of Mucous Membrane

What is the location of Portal-Caval anastomoes?

What indicate the pectinate line?

What is the innervation of the upper half?

What are lymphatics of upper half?

A

Anal Columns

Anal Valves indicate pectinate line

Stretch receptors into hypogastric plexus of autonomic, NO SOMATIC

Superior Rectal from Inferior Mesenteric (Artery and Vein)

31
Q

Lymphatics?

A

Below Pectinate Line is lower half of anal canal

32
Q

What is key about the union of Superior and Inferior Rectal Veins?

A

Anterior - Pubic bones

40
Q

What are the five lobes of the prostate gland?

A

Median: Located between Urethra and Ejaculatory Duct; Common site for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH); median lobe bulges into bladder resulting in dripping of urin into urethra at night

Right/Left Lateral Lobes: Separated by prostatic urethra; may become enlarged by BPH and compress urethra

Posterior; Inferior to ejaculator duct, posterior to prostatic urethra, common site for carcinoma

Veins?

What is risk of prostatic carcinoma?

What is the route of metastis?

Lymphatics?

A

Arteries - Inferior Vesical Artery

Lymphatics drain internal iliac nodes

43
Q

What is the widest and most dilatable part of the urethra?

What is the seminal colliculus?

A

Prostatic Urethra

Seminal Colliculus has slit like orifice leading to vestigal prostatic utricle; on each side is opening for ejaculatory duct

44
Q

What is Iatrogenically Induced Sterility?
