PECTINATE LINE
ANAL SPHINCTERS:
INTERNAL SPHINCTER - Involuntary
EXTERNAL SPHINCTER – Voluntary
what’s in ANORECTAL JUNCTION
PUBORECTALIS FIBERS
consists of the external anal sphincter and the puborectalis muscles and is a good landmark for locating the tumor
anorectal ring
What is the Physiology of DEFECATION?
the rectum shortens as it expels material into the anal canal, and peristaltic waves propel the feces out of the rectum. In the anus there are two muscular constrictors, the internal and external sphincters, that allow the feces to be passed or retained.
Also known as Ischiorectal Fossa
- Posterior recess -> Gluteus
maximus muscles - Anterior recess -> perineal
membrane and pelvic diaphragm
ISCHIOANAL FOSSA
ISCHIOANAL FOSSA Contents:
1.The pudendal nerve
2.Internal pudendal vessels
branch of the sacral plexus (S2
to 4 anterior rami)
supply the external anal
sphincter and the muscles and
skin of the perineum
PUDENDAL NERVE
PUDENDAL NERVE BRANCHES
1.INFERIOR RECTAL NERVE
2.DORSAL NERVE OF THE
PENIS ( CLITORIS)
3.PERINEAL NERVE
INTERNAL PUDENDAL ARTERY
*Branch of the internal iliac artery
BRANCHES:
1.Inferior rectal artery : supplies
the lower half of the anal canal
- Branches to the penis in the male
and to the labia and clitoris in the
female
