43
Q

Fills in the urogenital hiatus by stretching from one ischiopubic ramus to another

A

Urogenital diaphragm

44
Q

The urogenital diaphragm contains the

A

Deep Perineal Pouch

45
Q

Base of support for the external genitalia

A

Urogenital Diaphragm

46
Q

In males, the membranous urethra is in the

A

Deep perineal pouch

47
Q

In males the spongy urethra is in the

A

Superficial perineal pouch

48
Q

In females, there are no glands in the

A

Deep perineal pouch

49
Q

Attached to the UG diaphragm in the superficial perineal pouch

A

Erectile bodies

50
Q

Erectile tissue that attaches to the UG membrane and ischiopubic ramus

-Merge together to form corpus cavernosa

A

Right and Left Crura of the Penis

51
Q

Portion of erectile tissue that receives the urethra

A

Bulb of penis

52
Q

Inside the bulb of the penis is the

A

Corpus spongeosum

53
Q

Sandwiched between ddep peile fascia and tunica albuginea of corpus cavernosum

A

Deep dorsal vein of the penis

54
Q

Only attaches attached portions of erectile bodies

A

Skeletal muscle

55
Q

Functions during ejaculation to squeeze on the bulb of the penis and make sure all sperm passes through the urethra

A

Bulbospongeous

56
Q

Also empties the urethra after urination

A

Bulbospongeous

57
Q

Can happen as the result of a straddle injury

A

Urethral tear

58
Q

If we tear the spongy urethra from the membranous urethra, urine and blood will fill up the space between the

A

Deep penile fascia and superficial perineal fascia

59
Q

If we tear the membranous urethra from the prostatic urethra, all of the bleeding will be

A

ABOVE the pelvic floor in the subperitoneal space

60
Q

The body of the clitoris is the

A

Corpus cavernosa

61
Q

Commonly infected and can result in a cyst called a Bartolon’s cyst

-covered in skin so cyst is painful

A

Greater Vestibular (Bartolon’s) Gland

62
Q

Attachment for bulbospongious, superficial and deep perineal, external anal sphincter, and pelvic diaphragm muscles

A

Perineal body (Central Tendon)

63
Q

The perineal body (central tendon) is pyramidal in shape, where the apex projects up and attaches to the

A

Rectovaginal fascia

64
Q

If you ask a patient to bear down, it should be firm. But if it is soft than there is a tear. This describes the

A

Perineal body

65
Q

The blood supply for the perineum is primarily via the

A

Internal pudendal artery

66
Q

Once in the superficial pouch, the internal pudendal artery sends branches to the

A

Erectile tissues

67
Q

Gives off dorsal artery of the penis/clitoris

A

Internal pudendal artery

68

Q

The horizontal fissure is located at the

73
Q

The oblique fissure is located at the

Thoracentesis

76
Q

The head of the 7th rib articulates with the vertebral body of the

A

6th and 7th vertebrae

77
Q

The tubercle of the 7th rib articulates with the

A

Transverse process of the 7th Vertebra

78
Q

The negative intrapleural pressure is between the

A

Visceral and parietal pleura

79
Q

Increases both superior-inferior and lateral dimensions of the thoracic cavity

80
Q

If we lose the right phrenic nerve, when the left side of the diaphragm moves down, what happens to the right side?

A

Moves up (paradoxical movement of the diaphragm)

81
Q

Affects venous return to the heart via the great veins

A

Changes in intrathoracic pressure during ventilation

82
Q

Increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases blood drainage from the head

A

Forced exhalations

83
Q

The input for the cough reflex comes from the

A

Vagus nerve

84
Q

Atmospheric pressure on the injured side will compress or increase pressure on the mediastinum, which will compress the healthy lung during inspiration. This describes an

A

Open pneumothorax

85
Q

More dangerous because it results in positive intrapleural pressure

-Trachea deviates and patient can’t breathe

A

Tension pneumothorax

86
Q
