Q

[Anatomic Properties of the Outlet for Closure: Competence]
Bladder Neck Factors

Intrinsic Factors

A

Abundant smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue to the passive closure of bladder neck during filling

17
Q

[Anatomic Properties of the Outlet for Closure: Competence]
Bladder Neck Factors

Extrinsic Factors

A

Ligaments keep the neck of the bladder at an angle to the detrusor and provides support to the urethra

18
Q

Urethral Smooth Muscle Layers and Roles

A

Inner Longitudinal Layer: Uncertain Role

Outer Circular Layer: Closure at rest, Urethral Resting Pressure

19
Q

External Urethral Sphincter (Alternate Name)

Type of Fibers
Effect of Stress

A

Rhabdosphincter

Striated Slow Twitch Fibers exert a resting pressure during filling

During stress, cough valsalva, contraction causes rise in urethral pressure

20
Q

Inner Urethral Factor (Alternate Name)

Spongy Tissue Within the Submucosa

A

Collagen and Elastic Fibers

Venous Plexus

21
Q

What is a possible complication in women with regard to the Urethral Seal Effect?

A

It is hormonally regulated and postmenopausal women have thinner seals resulting in urinary leakage

22
Q

What do you call the Pelvic Floor Muscle Group

A

Pubovisceralls

23
Q

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor Muscle Group

A

Puborectalis
Pubovaginalis
Pubococcygeus
Pubourethralis

24
Q

Pelvic Floor Connective Tissue

A

Endopelvic Fascia

25
Q

Normal Voiding Characteristics

A

Adequate Pressure
Good Flow/Stream
No Discomfort

26
Q

[Anatomy and Physiology of Normal Voiding]

Detrusor

A

Contractile

Control: Sustained stimulation to contract until empty

27
Q

[Anatomy and Physiology of Normal Voiding]

Urethra and Sphincter

A

Calms Down: Relaxes and opens

Control: Inherent Contraction Inhibited

28
Q

[Anatomy and Physiology of Normal Voiding]

Pelvic Floor

A

Calms Down: Relaxes and Opens

Control: Inherent Contraction Inhibited

29
Q

[Detrusor Contraction]

Arrangement of smooth muscle fibers allowing sustained and complete emptying

A

Syncitium

30
Q

[Detrusor Contraction]

Contraction of these muscles will close the distal ureter to prevent reflux of urine to the kidney

A

Trigonal Muscles

31
Q

[Coordination of the LUT]

Filling and Voiding:
Detrusor/Bladder
Sphincter/Urethra
Pelvic Floor

A

Detrusor/Bladder -> F: Relax V: Contract

Sphincter/Urethra -> F: Contract V: Relax

Pelvic Floor -> F: Contract V: Relax

32
Q

b. Pudendal
c. Pubic

33
Q

[Inherent Actions]

Cortical Center

A

Inhibitory to Pons

34
Q

[Inherent Actions]

Pontine Center

A

Stimulatory to sacral cord

Inhibitory to suprasacral cord

35
Q

[Inherent Actions]

Suprasacral (T10-12) Hypogastric Nerve

A

Stimulates internal urethral sphincter
Inhibits detrusor
Inhibits trigonal muscles
