Q

Is the internal anal sphincter voluntary or involuntary?

What part of the anal canal does it surround?

Its contraction is stimulated and maintained by what?

What inhibits contraction?

A

The internal anal sphincter is involuntary

It surrounds the superior 2/3 of the anal canal

Contraction is stimulated and maintained by sympathetic fibers from the superior rectal and hypogastic plexuses.

Contraction is inhibited by parasympathetic fiber stimulation.

Q

What separates the superior part of the anal canal from the inferior part of the anal canal?

What are the four ways in which the superior and inferior parts of the anal canal differ?

What is the reason for the differences between the two parts of the anal canal?

A

The pectinate line

The superior and inferior parts of the anal canal differ in arterial supply, innervation, venous drainage, and lymphatic drainage

These differences are due to the different embryological origins of the superior and inferior parts of the anal canal

Q

What is the puborectalis?

How does the puborectalis ‘sling’ work?

What is it’s major role?

A

The puborectalis is the thicker, narrower, medial part of the levator ani, consisting of muscle fibers that are continuous between the posterior aspects of the bodies of the right and left pubic bones.

It forms a U-shaped muscular sling that passes posterior to the anorectal junction bounding the urogenital hiatus.

The puborectalis plays a major role in maintaining fecal continence.

Q

Why is the internal anal sphincter contracted most of the time?

Why/when does it relax temporarily?

A

It is contracted most of the time to prevent leakage of fluid or flatus.

It relaxes temporarily to distension of the rectal ampulla by feces or gas.

22
Q

Explain how the muscles in the hip support the pelvis when standing and walking. What is the role of the medial and lateral rotators?

A

When the weight is on both feet, the pelvis is evenly supported and does not sag. When the weight is borne by one limb the muscles on the supported side fix the pelvis so that it does not sag to the unsupported side. The medial rotators that act unilaterally during the stance phase (planted limb) to keep the pelvis level via abduction can simultaneously produce medial rotation at the hip joint, advancing the opposite unsupported side of the pelvis. The lateral rotators of the advancing (free) limb act during the swing phase to keep the foot parallel to the direction of advancement.
