Q

What is the arterial supply of the uterine tube?

A

The uterine tube is supplied by anastomosing branches of the ovarian and uterine arteries. The tubal branch of the uterine artery and tubal branches of the ovarian artery form the ovarian arcade.

17
Q

What is the venous drainage of the ovaries?

A

Ovarian vein

18
Q

What is the venous drainage of the uterus?

A

Uterine venous plexus

19
Q

What nerves accompanies the ovarian artery and vein?

A

Superior mesenteric nerve plexus and renal nerve plexus

20
Q

What two parts can you divide the uterus into?

A

A body and a cervix

21
Q

What is the narrow junction between the body of the uterus and the cervix called?

A

Isthmus of the uterus. It can be identified as a shallow constriction on the outside of the uterus.

22
Q

What two parts can you divide the cervix into?

A

Supravaginal and vaginal part

23
Q

What is the opening of the uterus called from inside the vagina

A

External os of the uterus

24
Q

What are the arteries of the uterus?

A

The uterus mainly recieves blood from the uterine artery, which is a branch from the internal iliac. It courses over the ureter in the subperiotoneal tissue to the base of the brad ligament. It reaches the wall of the uterus near the cervix. It divides into a descending branch -> descending vaginal artery, and an ascending main artery.

The uterine artery also gives off an ovarian branch and a tubal branch.

25
Q

What veins drains the uterus?

A

An uterine plexus drains the uterus via the uterine vein into the internal lilac vein.

26
Q

Which nerves innervates the uterus?

A

Autonomic: interior hypogastric plexus and pelvic splanchnic nerves which forms the uterovaginal plexus (Frankenhaüser ganglion)

27
Q

Which ligament runs in the inguinal canal?

A

Round ligament

28
Q

What are the mucosal landmarks of the vagina?

A

Transverse folds called rugae, longitudinal folds called vaginal columns produced by the venous plexuses in the walls of the vagina.

The urethral carina of the vagina is produced by the urethra.

29
Q

What is the arterial supply of the vagina?

A

Vaginal branches from the uterine artery
Branches from inferior vesicle artery
Internal pudendal artery

30
Q

Which veins drains the vagina?

A

Venous drainage is to the vaginal venous plexus lying adjacent to the vagina. The vaginal venous plexus is connected to the plexuses of adjacent urogenital organs and drains into internal iliac vein.

31
Q

What is the nerve supply of the vagina?

A

Autonomic: uterovaginal plexus

Inferior parts of the vagina is innervated by the pudendal nerve.

32
Q

What is the mons pubis?

A

A skin-covered fat pad overlying the pubic symphysis
