Superficial fascia of abdomen (campers and scarpa) continue as what?
dartos: superficial fascia of penis/scrotum
colles: superficial fascia of perineum
The deep dorsal v. drains where?
toward the prostatic plexus
Where does the superficial fascia attach?
perineal body
If an accident involved someone getting racked or a low seatbelt compression - what could be the resulting injury?
fx of corpus spongiosum w/ blood deep to all of the superficial fascias
The pudendal canal is formed by fascia of what?
obturator internus muscle
What is contained w/i the deep space?
UG diaphragm
external genitalia for males and females arise from where? and attach where?
Arise from the superficial space and attach to the perineal membrane
What runs w/i the pudendal canal?
pudendal n. and internal pudendal a. and v.
corpus cavernosum is surrounded by what muscle?
ischocavernosus
corpus spongiosum is surrounded by what muscle?
bulbospongiosus
Where is the urethra?
w/i the corpus spongiosum
What will give rise to the erectile parts of he clitoris?
corpus cavernosum and ischiocavernosus muscle
What is the difference in the erectile tissues originating in the superficial space b/w males and females?
the corpus spongiosum/bulbospongiosus is w/i the labia majora so it is divided into two - whereas in males it is one bulb
What is significant about the corpus spongiosum/bulbospongiosus in postmenopausal females?
it is not easy to find b/c it is estrogen dependent
What is the muscle of the deep space?
deep transverse perineus muscle
What muscle makes up the external urethral sphincter?
sphincter urethrae (somatic)

VANs to get to penis or vagina (deep v. of penis or clitoris)
What is the other name for the ischocavernosus/corpus cavernosum ?
crura
If there was an anomoly during formation of the urethra/vagina and you don’t find the urethra b/w the ciltoris and vaginal opening, where will it be?
anterior vaginal wall - would need to cath from there
The dorsal n. of the penis and dorsal n. of clitorus are a termination of what n.?
pudendal
What causes erection?
increase of venous drainage from the organ not from increase of arterial blood to organ
How does the deep dorsal v of the penis drain?
goes through gap in UG diaphragm, into puboprostatic plexus then into intenral ilac v.
What gives sensation from the external genitalia?
deep dorsal n. of the penis / deep dorsal n. of clitoris
What is the transition b/w autonomics and somatics in the anal canal?
pectinate line
