A

deep and superficial

25
Q

swhat structures can be found in the perineal pouches

A
  • urethra
  • compressor urethrae muscle
  • vagina
  • urethrovaginal sphincter
  • transverse perineal ligament
  • deep and superficial perineal muscle
26
Q

what is the main function of the pelvic floor

A

support abdominopelvic viscera

27
Q

2 main muscles of the pelvic floor?

A

levator ani
coccygeus

28
Q

what 5 structure spass thru and insert into the pelvic floor

A

uretha
vagina
rectum
external urethral sphincter
paraurethral duct

29
Q

what pathology could the weakness of pelvic floor lead to

A
  • urinary and faecal incontinence
  • genitourinary prolapse
  • sexual dysfunction
30
Q

what ligament connects between the cervix (lower part of uterus) and the inner border/ischial spine of the pelvis

A

cardinal ligament (transverse)

31
Q

What ligament spans over the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus and houses its vasculature

A

broad ligament

32
Q

what ligament connects the ovary to the pelvic wall

A

suspensory ligament

33
Q

what ligament connects the cervix (lower part of uterus) to the sacrum

A

uterosacral ligament (posterior)

34
Q

as you age or due to birth, the broad, round, uterosacral and cardinal ligament can become weak. what pathology can this result in

A

prolapse of the uterus

35
Q

the uterine artery and vein that supply the urterus, are branches of what vessel.

and where does the uterine vein drain into

A

internal illiac artery and veins (vasculature of the uterus and Fallopian tube come from here)

  • blood drains into the uterine veins via a plexus in the broad ligament
36
Q

where does the left and right ovarian vein drain?

A

left - to renal vein

right - to IVC

37
Q

what 2 ligaments suspend the ovaries

A

ovarian and suspensory

38
Q

what 2 places do the ovarian and suspensory ligament attach the ovary to

A
  • lateral abdominal walls (suspensory)
  • uterus (ovarian)
39
Q

what can the 3 sections of the Fallopian tube be divided into

A
  • isthmus (straight part)
  • ampulla (curved part)
  • infundibulum ( downward big bed)
40
Q

what are the hairy structures found at the end of the fallopian tube attaching to the ovaries called

A

fimbriae

41
Q

what do you call the part of the Fallopian tube where the isthmus and ampulla meet

A

ampullary-isthmic junction

42
Q

what is the most common place for an ecotpic pregnancy

A

ampulla region of the fallopian tube

43
Q

find Image of Fallopian tube and label the different sections

A
44
Q

what do you call the opening of the cervix into the vagina

A

external os

45
Q

what do you call the opening into the uterus

A
  • internal os
46
Q

what do you call the space between in internal and external os

A

endocervical canal

47
Q

what are the 2 main functions of the cervix

A

-fascilitate passage of sperm into uterine cavity

  • maintains sterility of upper female reproductive tract
48
Q

what device is used to view the cervix and how

A

speculum

  • inserted into vaginal, spreads to hold the walls of vagina apart
49
Q

to which lymph nodes does lymphs from the vulva drain

A

superficial inguinal nodes

50
Q

to which lymph nodes does lymph from the ovaries drain

A

lumbar nodes

51
Q

why is knowing lymphatic drainage important

A

can track infection or metastasis spread

52
Q

find and label the structure in male and female pelvis in MRI scans

A
53
Q

why do the ovarian vessels originate so far from the organs

A
  • they are formed in the abdomen and descend during embryological development
54
Q

where do the vaginal arteries originate ffrom

A

uterine arteries

55
Q

find diagram and understand the vasculature around the vaginal, uterus and ovary

A
56
