anatomy 2.1 Flashcards
pelvic inlet boundaries
lateral/ventral: arcuate line of the ilium
dorsal: sacrum
pelvic outlet boundaries
ventral: ischiatic arch
Dorsal: first caudal vertebra
lateral: soft tissue
What are the two muscles of the pelvic diaphragm
coccygeus and levator ani
Which muscle of the pelvic diaphragm is more lateral?
coccygeus – short and thick
which muscle of the pelvic diaphragm is more medial
levator ani – fan like and thinner
the space excluded from the pelvis cavity by the pelvic diaphragm and is normally occupied by fat
ischiorectal fossa
boundaries of the ischiorectal fossa
lateral wall: ischial tuber and sacrotuberous ligament
medial wall: pelvic diaphragm
ventral wall: pelvic floor
Base: Skin
a continuation of the colon beginning at the pelvic inlet
rectum
surrounds the anus and vulva and covers the pelvic outlet
perineum
region that is between the tail and scrotum/udder
perineal
this can tear during parturition – ouch
perineal body
between the anus and dorsal commissure
perineal body
protrusion of the pelvic or abdominal viscera through a weakened or ruptured pelvic diaphragm
perineal hernia
**this occurs between the external anal sphincter, levator ani, and internal obturator mm
pouch between rectum and genital fold
rectogenital
pouch between bladder and uterus/prostate
vesicogential
pouch between bladder and pubis
pubovesical
folds that are persistent and converge at the exit from the bladder
urethral crest
layer of the outer bladder wall that will squeeze and empty the bladder
detrusor muscle
triangle thats bounded by the ureteric and urethral openings
trigone
remnant of the umbilical artery is here…?
round ligament of the bladder found in the lateral ligament of the bladder
In comparison to the female repro system, do the bladder lay dorsally or ventrally?
VENTRAL
blind pouch of the female urethra found in cows and sows
suburethral diverticulum
surrounds the urethra and part of the external urethral sphincter
urethralis muscle
opens ventrally at the junction of the vestibule and vagina
female urethra
male urethra is divided into…
penile and pelvic
elevated region on the urethral crest and the opening of the deferent ducts and prostate
colliculus seminalis
the internal iliac terminates as what two branches cranial to the sacroiliac joint?
- caudal gluteal a.
2. internal pudendal a.
carries blood from the aorta to the placenta in the fetus
umbilical artery
**in the adult it may give off the cranial vesicle artery
what does the umbilical artery branch off of?
internal iliac a
three terminal branches of the internal pudendal artery
- ventral perineal
- urethral
- artery of the penis/clitoris
the artery that follows the sciatic nerve
caudal gluteal artery
**branch of the internal iliac
main blood supply to the middle gluteal muscle
cranial gluteal artery
what is the SNS to the pelvic plexus
hypogastric n – POST synaptic
what is the PSNS to the pelvic plexus
pelvic n – PRE synaptic
what innervates the pelvic viscera
pelvic plexus
somatic innervation to the cremaster muscle
genitofemoral nerve
supplies sensory to skin of inguinal region, spermatic fascia, scrotum, and prepuce
genitofemoral nerve
somatic innervation to the striated musculature of perineum
pudendal nerve
sensory innervation to the rectum, anus, vulva, penis, clitoris, and perineum
pudendal nerve
a ridge like projection dorsal to the urethral orifice
urethral tubercle
space between vagina and vulva
vestibule
elongated mass of erectile tissue deep to vestibular mucosa that contributes to the “tie” during copulation in female dogs
vestibular bulbs
where does the vaginal artery come from
internal pudendal artery
located between the cervix and the vestibule
vagina
T/F
vagina is distensible
TRUE
type of uterus with 2 horns
bicornuate
ligament that connects the uterus and ovary
proper ligament
protects the uterus from the external environment
cervix
infection of the uterus
pyometra
where does the ovarian artery branch from?
directly off the aorta
where does fertilization occur?
the ampulla of the uterine tube
what supplies the uterus
uterine artery from the vaginal artery
connects ovary to body wall
mesovarian – broad ligament
encloses ovary within ovarian bursa along with the mesovarian
mesosalpinx
broad ligament component that begins at the cranial edge of the uterine horn and continues caudally
mesometrium
what supplies the scrotum?
external pudendal artery
what muscle do the cremasters come from
the caudal portion of the internal abdominal oblique
a muscle that pulls the testes closer to the body
cremaster muscle
testes blood supply?
the testicular artery
testicular vein
pampiniform plexus –
covers the surface of the testes
tunica albuginea
name for when a testicle doesnt descend
cryptorchidism
maturation and storage of spermatozoa
epididymis
