response to rectal distention and internal sphincter relaxation
pudendal nerve

154
Q

where do sympathetic fibres to rectum originate from and what do they do

A

exit T12-L2
contract internal anal sphincter
inhibit peristalsis

155

where does nerve to levator ani and pudendal exit and what do they supply

A

nerve to levator ani -S2-S4
pudendal -S3-S4
contract external anal sphincter and puborectalis

156
Q

describe the path of the pudendal nerve

A

exits pelvis via greater sciatic foramen
enters lesser sciatic foramen to enter perineum
panches to supply structures

157
Q

how can labour lead to faecal incontinence or weakened muscle wall

A

stretch of pudendal nerve or muscle tear during labour

158
Q

where do visceral afferents and parasympathetics run and what do they stimulate

A

S2-S4
visceral afferents - sense stretch and ischaemia
parasympathetic - inhibit internal anal sphincter and stimulate peristalsis

what is a rectal varice?

A

dilation of collateral veins between portal/systemic systems
usually related to portal hypertension

168

anteroinferior

175
Q

what muscle lies beneath the external oblique and what direction does its fibres run

A

internal oblique

anterosuperior

176
Q

what muscle is deep to internal oblique and in what direction do its fibres run?

A

transversus abdominis

horizontal

177
Q

what exactly is the inguinal ligament and where does it attach?

A

thickening of external oblique muscle

superior iliac spine to pubic tubercle
