52
Q

what are the 3 erectile tissue cylinders

A

2 corpus cavernosum

53
Q

arterial supply to penis?

54
Q

arterial supply to scrotum

A

from external iliac and internal pudendal from internal iliac

55
Q

lymph drainage of penis and scrotum

A

to superficial ingiunal lymph nodes

56
Q

58
Q

modalities of sensory pain to testes

A

60
Q

66
Q

modalities and supply of the lumbar and sacral plexus

A

somatic moror and sensory

supplies lower limbs ansd perineum

67
Q

summarise basic sympathetic nervous system outflow

A

leaves T1-L2
pass into the symapthetic chain so all spinal nerves have sympathetic supply
travel to body organs by splanchnic nerves

68
Q

how does the SNS get to the kidneys, bladder and ureter

A

leaves T10-L2
leaves by abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves
synapse at abdominal sympathetic ganglia and then passes to organs by periarterial plexus

69
Q

summarise PNS outflow

leaves by III, VII, IX, X and by sacral nerves

cannot innervate smooth muscle or glands of body wall

70
Q

describe PNS outflow to the kidneys and ureter

A

carried by vagus nerve

enters diaphragm by periarterial plexis to enter kidneys and ureter

71
Q

describe PNS outflow to the bladder

A

passes through pelvic splanchnic nerves leaving S2-4

72
Q

where is kidney pain felt

A

felt in loin/flank

73
Q

where is ureter pain felt

A

loin to groin

74
Q

where is bladder pain felt

A

suprapubic

75
Q

where is perineal urethral pain felt

A

localised to perineum

76
Q

describe passage of pain perception in kidneys

A

travels along SNS by T11-L1

77
Q

describe passage of pain perception in ureter

A

run SNS by T12-L2

78
Q

describe passage of pain perception in bladder

A

affernts touching the perineum on sup bladder enter SNS T11-T2 midline
part below peritoneum run PNS on S2-S4

79
Q

describe passage of pain perception in urethra

run PNS to S2-S4 if prox urethra above pelvis

rest is somatic sensory from S2-4 so can be easily localised in perineum

bladder fills to send stretch relay by visceral afferent to CNS (S2-4)
reflex stimulation detrusor and relaxation of internal urethral sphincter in en
brain override if those who are ‘trained’
once appropriate this is lifted to cause detrusor contraction, relaxation of IUS, levator ani, EUS and abdo wall contraction
