Anatomy Flashcards
False pelvis
Iliac crests to pelvic inlet
True pelvis
Pelvic inlet to pelvic floor
Perineum
Between pelvic floor and skin
Route of ureters
Anterior to common iliac vessels into pelvis
Turn medially at ischial spine
Enter bladder posteriorly/inferomedially
Posterior to uterine artery, medial to suspensory lig of ovary, over vas def
Subperitoneal
Round ligament of uterus
Attaches uterus to peritoneum via inguinal canal
Branches of internal iliac artery
Vesical arteries
Uterine and vaginal artery
Middle rectal artery
Neck of male bladder
Detrusor muscle thickens to form internal urethral sphincter (contracts during ejaculation)
Inside the scrotum the testes sit in a sac called:
tunica vaginalis
Excess fluid in tunica vaginalis
Hydrocele
Left gonadal vein drains to:
Left renal vein
How is ejaculatory duct formed?
Seminal duct + vas deferens
Most prostate cancers arise from what zone of prostate?
Peripheral zone
Root of penis laterally attached to:
Ischium
What part transmits deep arteries of penis?
Corpus cavernosum
What part expands to form glans?
Corpus spongiosum
Paraphimosis
Retraction of foreskin behind glans, swelling
Tx: squeeze out oedema, surgery/circumcision
Blood to penis
Deep artery of penis (from internal pudendal, off internal iliac)
Blood to scrotum
Internal pudendal (off internal iliac) and branches of external iliac
Lymph from scrotum and most of penis
Superficial inguinal nodes
Lymph from testes
Lumbar nodes
Level of bifurcation of aorta
L4
Level of kidneys
Left: T12-L2
Right:L1-3
Kidneys lie lateral and anterior to what muscles?
Lateral to psoas
Anterior to quadratus lumborum
Layers around kidneys
Capsule Perinephric fat Deep/Renal fascia Paranephric fat Superficial fascia/Visceral peritoneum
