3 surfaces:
Superior and 2 inferolateral surfaces
4 borders:
2 lateral, anterior and posterior
The Trigone is made of
Posterolateral angles: ureteric orifices
Anteroinferior angle: urethral orifice
Interureteric bar
Superior trigone muscle
Deep detrusor muscle
Relation of the bladder?
Anteriorly:
Retropubic space of Retzius
Posteriorly: separated from rectum by rectovesicle pouch/rectouterine pouch
Relations of apex of bladder?

Motor for detrusor inhibitory for internal urethra sphinter
- sympathomimetic efferent
Inhibitory for detrusor motor for internal sphincter
SOMATIC INNERVATION
- pudendal nerve to external urethra sphincter
Afferent nerves In which pain and distension can be felt pass through
Pain: lateral spinothalamic tract
