Fields- anatomy of male pelvis and perineum Flashcards
3 bones of pelvis
pubis
ischium
ilium
covered by the pectineal ligament and crossed by the femoral v, a, n, medial to lateral
pectineal line
how nerves and arteries leave the pelvis and enter the perineum
greater and lesser sciatic foramen
a full bladder will extend into ____ pelvis
false
b/t the iliopectineal line and the pelvic diaphragm
true pelvis
prevents organs from spilling out to the feet
pelvic diaphragm
posterior boundary of true pelvis
sacrum, coccyx, piriformis m.
floor of the true pelvis
pelvic diaphragm
anterior boundary of true pelvis
pubic bone
lateral boundary of true pelvis
obturator internus m
main innervation of the pelvic diaphragm
somatic innervation (skeletal muscle)
innervation of coccygeus/ischiococcygeus of pelvic diaphragm
S4-S5 (somatic)
innervation of levator ani of pelvic diaphragm
S3-S4 (somatic)
supports male pelvic organs and helps prevent urinary and fecal incontinence
pelvic diaphragm
strengthened by Kegel exercise to prevent urinary and fecal incontinence
Levator Ani
fascia of the obturator internus muscle from which the iliococcygeus m. takes its origin
Arcus Tendineous
3 parts of pubococcygeus muscle
puboprostate
puborectalis
pubococcygeus
connects to ischial spine
coccygeus muscle
The physician’s diagnosis is injury to the nerves supplying the pelvic diaphragm. What are the muscles and their innervation?
Levator Ani: S3, S4
Coccygeus: S4, S5
transports sperm from testis to penis
vas deferens
Where the duct of the seminal vesicle joins the vas dererens.
It empties into the prostate gland
Ejaculatory Duct
passes behind the ureters
vas deferens
where sperm is stored until smooth m. contractions force it out
ampulla (vas deferens)
will secrete bicarbonate to increase the pH so sperm can still function in acidic environment of vagina
prostate gland
bone is white on CT or MRI
CT
arrows
seminal vesicle
MRI (?)
seminal vesicle
secretion from seminal vesicle that causes lubrication of vagina
mucoid material
seminal vesicle secretion that provides nutrients for the sperm
fructose
seminal vesicle secretion that enhances sperm migration
prostaglandins
seminal vesicle secretion that activates sperm motility
calcium
seminal vesicle secretion that is fibrinogen-like clotting protein that coagulates semen when acted on by clotting enzyme secreted by the prostate gland. Causes the semen to stick to the
cervical and vaginal wall.
Prosemenogelin
what separates median and posterior lobes of prostate gland
ejaculatory duct
what separates anterior lobe from median and posterior lobes
prostatic urethra
small bump along prostatic urethra
verumontanum
opening in verumontanum
prostatic utricle
prostate gland secretion that neutralizes the acid in the vagina
bicarbonate and phosphate
prostatic gland secretion that acts on prosemenogelin and coagulates semen
clotting enzyme
prostate gland secretion that liquifies coagulated semen
serine protease
prostate gland secretion that is nutrient for the sperm
citrate
prostate gland secretion that prevents premature capacitation and acromosome reaction of the sperm
spermine
secretes mucus and acts as a buffer
cowper’s gland/bulbourethral gland
most of the composition of semen
seminal fluid
pelvic floor fascia; adheres to prostate posteriorly
aka rectovesical septum
Denonvillier fascia
b/t rectum and bladder and prostate gland
rectovesical septum (Denonvillier fascia)
b/t rectum and bladder in peritoneum
rectovesicular pouch
______following a prostectomy.
The rectum bulges into the space vacated
by the prostate gland & bladder.
This prevents proper filling of the bladder.
Rectocele
Frequently associated with prostatectomy, which can result in postoperative deficiency of the Denonvillier fascia
Rectocele
bilateral drooping of bladder wall
saddle bag sign
A deficiency of _____ can lead to posteriolateral drooping of the bladder wall
Denonvillier fascia
supplies pelvis and perineum
internal iliac a
