16
Q

innervation of vagina, inferior 1/5

A

= somatic, pudendal nerve S2-S4
SYMPATHETIC AND VISCERAL ONLY
NO PARA

17
Q

most of vagina, innervation

A

VISCERAL innervation
nerves derived from pelvic plexus
SYMPATHETIC, VISCERAL, PARA

18
Q

parasympathetic innervation

A

S2-S4 spinal cord and pass thru pelvic splanchnic nerves

19
Q

visceral afferent fibers conducting pain impulses from intraperitoneal uterine fungus and body follow what innervation
SUPERIOR TO PELVIC PAIN LINE

A

SYMPATHETIC INNERVATION to reach T11-L1

20
Q

afferent fibers conducting pain from sub peritoneal uterine cervix and vagina follow what innervation
INFERIR TO PELVIC PAIN LINE

A

PARASYMPATHETIC INNERVATION thru pelvic splanchnic nerves S2-S4

21
Q

dynamic support of uterus

A

pelvic diaphragm

22
Q

passive support of uterus

A

position of uterus is ANTEVERTED and ANTEFLEXED

23
Q

cardinal (transverse cervical) ligaments

A

base of broad ligament

contains uterine artery and vein, assists support to uterus

24
Q

uterosacral ligaments

A

sides of cervix –> sacrum

palpable during exam

25
Q

layers of uterus

A
  1. perimetrium
  2. myometrium
  3. endometrium = inner mucous layer
26
Q

perimetrium

A

peritoneum with thin CT

27
Q

myometrium

A

middle
thinner and more extensive with pregnancy
main branches of blood vessels and nerves of uterus are here
contract to dilate cervical os during childbirth

28
Q

endometrium

A

inner mucous layer
firmly adhered to myometrium
involved with menstrual cycle

29
Q

what are the 3 portions of the cervix

A
  1. internal os: cervical canal + uterine body
  2. cervical canal: cavity between internal and external Ostia
  3. external os: opening cervical canal to vagina
30
Q

epidural block

A

intraperitoneal
sub peritoneal
somatic

31
Q

spinal block

A

intraperitoneal
sub peritoneal
somatic

32
Q

pudendal nerve block

A

somatic = perineum area innervated by pudendal nerve

33
Q

hysterectomy

A

removal of uterus

34
Q

where does the uterine artery cross the ureter

A

laterally to internal os

water under the bridge = uterine artery is on top of ureter

35
Q

pelvic relaxation

A

pelvic diaphragm during delivery
common post menopause
decreased estrogen = decreased tissue integrity
results in change in orientation of bladder to urethral sphincter = urinary incontinence

36
Q

cervical cancer

A

major risk factor HPV 16/18
develops in epithelium covering cervix
proceeded by changes called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
if proliferating, cross basal lamina into underlying CT
