Q

What does the sympathetic nerve supply to the bladder do?

A

Relaxes the bladder
Increases internal sphincter tone- prevents leakage

Q

What is the parasympathetic nervous system to the bladder responsible for?

A

Micturation
Contraction of detrusor
Relaxes internal sphincter
In turn activates pudendal nerve to react external sphincter

Q

What nerves carry the sympathetic supply to the pelvic organs?

A

Splanchnic nerves S2-S4

17
Q

Where is the false pelvis?

A

Above pelvic inlet

18
Q

Which muscles externally rotate the hip?

A

Piriformis
Obturator interns

19
Q

Where is the pelvic floor?

A

Attaches to the walls of the lesser pelvis
Separating the pelvic cavity from the perineum

20
Q

Which nerve innervates the pelvic floor?

A

Pudendal nerve

21
Q

Which muscles make up the pelvic floor?

A

Coccygeus
Levator ani

22
Q

What is the function of the pelvic floor?

A
  • Support abdominopelvic organs
  • Resistance to inc in abdominal pressure
  • Urinary & faeces continence
23
Q

What are the gaps in the pelvic floor?

A
  • Urogenital hiatus
  • Rectal hiatus
24
Q

How are the internal & external anal sphincters & above dentate line controlled?

A

Internal: Autonomic/parasympathetic
External: Voluntary somatic fibres of pudendal
Above: Autonomic via inf hypogastric plexus

25
Q

What are the cell types above & below the dentate line?

A

Below: Squamous
Above: Columnar

26
Q

How does the lymphatic drainage differ above & below the dentate line?

A

Above: Internal iliac
Below: Superficial inguinal

27
Q

What is the zone around the urethra?

A

Transitional zone- causes BPH

28
Q

Where does most prostatic malignancy occur?

A

Peripheral zone of the prostate

29
Q

Where is the commonest area for ectopics?

A

80% ampulla
12% Isthmus- most dangerous

30
Q

What is the blood supply to the ovaries?

A

Uterine & ovarian artery

31
Q

What spinal level innervates the penis?

A

S2

32
Q

What structures go through the greater sciatic foramen?

A
  • Sciatic nerve
  • Pudendal nerve
33
Q

What does the coeliac trunk supply? What are its branches?

A

Foregut (L1)
Left gastric
Splenic
Common hepatic

34
Q

What does the SMA & IMA supply?

A

SMA: Pacreas, s.bowel, appendix, first 2/3 l.bowel
IMA: Last 1/3 l.bowel

35
Q

How does defecation occur?

A

1) Distension of rectal ampulla activates visceral afferent impulses
2) Transmitted to spinal cord by pelvic splanchnic
3) Parasympathetic stimulation inc peristalsis & relaxes internal sphincter
4) Puborectalis muscle relaxes decreasing angle between ampulla of rectum & upper anal canal
5) Smooth muscle contracts, int & ext anal sphincter relaxes
