1.2.1 Bladder and Internal Male Organs Flashcards
Trigone is known as?
What are the bladder location characteristics in males?
What is micturition?
What is benign prostate hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy of the prostate associated with increased difficulty of passage of urine
What are the covered parts?
Internal urethral sphincter is mainly innervated by?
External?
What type of muscle is the bladder and is known as?
Smooth muscle
Knows as detrusor muscle
Ureter pain is brough along what nerves and goes into the vertebrae at what level?
General visceral afferent fibers that go in at T11-L1
What are the characteristics of the Vas Deferens?
Describe the innervation of the bladder.
Parasympathetic ‑ (S2, 3, 4) ‑ pelvic splanchnic nerves ‑ innervate mainly the detrusor muscle. (via the inferior hypogastric plexus)
Sympathetic ‑ (T11, L1, 2) ‑ vesicle nerve plexus ‑ innervate mainly the internal urethral (= vesicle) sphincter (smooth muscle) (via the superior hypogastric plexus). There is some sympathetic innervation of the detrusor muscle, which inhibits parasympathetic innervation, thus allowing the bladder smooth muscle to relax and fill with urine.
The internal urethral sphincter functions to keep urine in the bladder. In males the internal urethral sphincter is important in also preventing the retroejaculation, that is the passage of sperm into the bladder rather than out the penis.
The external (skeletal muscle) urinary sphincter is under learned, voluntary control (at the urogenital diaphragm). This external urethral sphincter is formed by the compressor urethra muscle in both male and females and the urethrovaginal sphincter muscle in females. These muscles are innervated by the pudendal nerve. There is normally some tonic alpha-motor neuron discharge normally keeping the external urethral sphincter skeletal muscle closed. Urination (voiding) requires the parasympathetic nervous system to discharge, causing contraction of the detrestor smooth muscle opening both the internal urethral sphincter and external skeletal muscle sphincter.
How does the development of the testis relate to the kidney?
The Testis passes over the kidney as it descends, while the kidney rises
