Q

What is meant by the Corona Mortis “crown of death”

A

since obturator anastomoses with inferior epigastric, damage to them could open the entire internal and external iliac system, causing death in minutes

Q

This artery supplies uterus, cervix, and superior vaginal canal

A

uterine

26
Q

What are the male counterparts to the uterine artery in females

A

inferior vesical and artery of ductus deferens

27
Q

This anterior artery branch of internal iliac supplies the inferior vaginal canal and posterior inferior bladder

A

vaginal

28
Q

This anterior artery branch of internal iliac supplies the rectum

A

middle rectal

29
Q

The ureter runs between which to arteries in females

A

uterine

vaginal

30
Q

What kind of complications can arise from the ureter running between the uterine and vaginal arteries

A

During a hysterectomy, the ureter can be cut accidentally causing backup into the kidneys; kidney stones

31
Q

This is the major vein of venous drainage of the pelvis and it ultimately runs to which vein

A

internal iliac

IVC

32
Q

This venous system enters the IVC superiorly; hypertension; anastomoses

A

portal venous system

33
Q

This is a venous network that surounds the bladder, prostate or uterus, and rectum

A

pelvic venous plexus

34
Q

True or False

The pelvic venous plexuses intercommunicate prior to forming named vessels

A

True

35
Q

What is the significance about the pelvic venous plexus intercommunication

A

there are clinical consequences involving the transportation of tumor cells or venous hypertension; it is valveless

36
Q

What type of innervation is the sacral plexus

A

somatic innervation

S2-S4

37
Q

What type of innervation is the autonomic plexuses

A

autonomic innervation

38
Q

This forms the lumbosacral trunk and crosses over sacral ala

A

L4-L5

39
Q

This emerges above the piriformis muscle

A

S1

40
Q

These emerge through piriformis muscle

A

S2 and S3

41
Q

These contribute to the pudendal nerve

A

S2-S4

42
Q

These form the sciatic and gluteal nerve

A

L4-S3

43
Q

Which levels of the spinal cord form the sacral plexus

A

L4-S4

44
Q

What trunks form the sacral plexus

A

lumbosacral trunk
sympathetic trunk
sciatic trunk

45
Q

The sympathetic fibers of the sacral plexus are made up of what spinal levels and nerves

A

T10-L2(3)

sacral splanchnic nerves

46
Q

The parasympathetic fibers of the sacral plexus are made up of what spinal levels and nerves

A

S2-S4

pelvic splanchnic nerves

47
Q

The superior hyopgastric plexus contains what type of fibers and forms what nerve(s) which go where

A

mostly sympathetic fibers
condenses to form 2 hyopgastric nerves
they diverge and curve outward bilateral to rectum

48
Q

This plexus covers the bifurcation of aorta and upper sacrum

A

hypogastric plexus

49
Q

The inferior hypogastric plexus contains what type of fibers and serves as what

A

both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers

serves as main autonomic plexus of pelvis

50
Q

This plexus covered pelvic viscera bilaterally

A

inferior hypogastric plexus

51
Q

True or False

In the thorax, sympathetic chain ganglia are more medial

A

False; in the thorax that are more lateral and move medially as they descend

52
Q

The pelvic sympathetic fibers are located where and terminate where

A

medial to sacral foramen

converge and terminate anterior to coccyx and ganglion impar at the midline

53
Q

These are tiny sympathetic fibers off the sympathetic chain

A

sacral splanchnic nerves

54
Q

These are tiny parasympathetic fibers off S2-S4

Q

The sacral and pelvis splanchnic nerves enter which plexus to travel where

A

A

lateral rectum and uterus

57
Q

What are the clinical implication of the splanchnic nerves

A

easily injured during rectal surgery or radical hysterectomy
