73
Q

The levator ani is a broad sheet of muscle. It is composed of three separate paired muscles, called:

A

the pubococcygeus, puborectalis and iliococcygeus.

74
Q

Puborectalis location and function

A

The puborectalis muscle is a U-shaped sling, extending from the bodies of the pubic bones, past the urogenital hiatus, around the anal canal. Its tonic contraction bends the canal anteriorly, creating the anorectal angle (90 degrees) at the anorectal junction (where the rectum meets the anus).

The main function of this thick muscle is to maintain faecal continence – during defecation this muscle relaxes.

75
Q

Describe the anatomy of the apex, body, fundus and neck of the bladder

A

Apex – This is located superiorly, pointing towards the pubic symphysis. It is connected to the umbilicus by the median umbilical ligament (a remnant of the urachus).
Body – The main part of the bladder, located between the apex and the fundus
Fundus (or base) – Located posteriorly. It is triangular-shaped, with the tip of the triangle pointing backwards.
Neck – Formed by the convergence of the fundus and the two inferolateral surfaces. This structure joins the bladder to the urethra.

76
Q

What is the trigone?

A

The triangular area marked by the ureters and urethra

77
Q

Which muscle and sphincters are involved in bladder contraction during micturition?

A

Detrusor muscle: contains fibres in all three directions to maintain structural integrity and is innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic fibres

Internal sphincter
o Male – consists of circular smooth fibres, which are under autonomic control. Blends with muscle in prostate
o Females – thought to be a functional sphincter (i.e. no sphincteric muscle present). It is formed by the anatomy of the bladder neck and proximal urethra.

External urethral sphincter – around proximal urethra and has the same structure in both sexes. It is skeletal muscle, and under voluntary control. During micturition, it relaxes to allow urine flow.

78
Q

Blood supply/venous drainage to the bladder

A

Internal iliac vessel and vesical venous plexus

Males: arterial supply supplemented by superior vesicle artery
Females: inferior vesical artery

79
Q

TT - tubercles of iliac crest

87
Q

Where does the jejunum begin?

A

Below the transverse colon, to the left of the midline

88

A

The jejunum is thicker and has thicker plicae circularis than the ileum

89
Q

What are haustrations and taenia coli?

A

H - sac like pouches of the colon forming the tube

TC - longitudinal muscle condensed into 3 bands in the colon

90
