Anatomy of the Lateral Pelvic Wall Flashcards
Where do most arteries that supply the pelvis and perineum arise from
the internal iliac
What arteritis in the pelvis do not arise fro the internal iliac
gonadal - from the abdominal aorta
superior rectal artery - fro the inferior mesenteric artery
What artery usually arises from the posterior division of the internal iliac
gluteal arteries - specifically the superior gluteal
What arteries usually arise for the anterior division of the internal iliac
obturator artery
superior and inferior vesical arteries
internal pudendal
What is the equivelant to the inferior vesical artery in females
vaginal artery
what is the median umbilical ligament
embryological remnant of the umbiical artery
In the male perineum, what are the branches off the internal pudendal artery
middle rectal artery
dorsal artery if penis
deep artery of penis
perineal artery - posterior scrotal artery
What artery in the male perineum comes from external iliac
anterior scrotal artery
What anastomoses occur in the female pelvis/perineum
Between uterine artery and ovarian artery
Between uterine artery and vaginal artery
What is the male equivalent of the uterine artery
the artery to the vas deferens
Where do the veins in the pelvis and perineum mainly drain to
the internal iliac
Where does the gonadal vein drain to
inferior vena cava
Where do the superior rectal arteries drain
hepatic portal system
Where do the lateral sacral arteries drain
the internal vertebral venous plexus
On what side does ureter damage occur most often
left - right is more consistent and always crosses the external iliac, left more medial and crosses common iliac
