Final Review Flashcards
What type of tissue covers the perimetrium of the uterus?
serosa
What part of the broad L of the uterus does the round L of the uterus pass through?
mesometrium
What are the glands in the female perineum called?
greater vestibular glands: posterior to bulbs of vestibule
lesser vestibular glands: secrete mucus btw external urethral orifice and vaginal orifice
What is the level of the ilioinguinal nerve?
What relevant branch comes from it?
L1
anterior scrotal/labial N
What is the spinal level of genitofemoral N?
What relevant branch comes from it?
L1-L2
genital branch –> to scrotum/labia
What levels make up obturator N?
L2-4
What spinal levels make up the lumbosacral trunk?
L4-5
What spinal levels make up posterior femoral cutaneous N?
What relevant branch arises from it?
S1-3
perineal branch to scrotum/labia
What muscles does the deep perineal n innervate?
deep transverse perineal
superficial transverse perineal
ischiocavernosus
bulbospongeosus
What are the branches of the coccygeal plexus?
anococcygeal N
nerve to levator Ani (S4)
nerve to coccygeus m (S4, 5)
How does pain run in the pelvis?
with parasympathetic pelvic splanchnics –> ventral rami of sacras spinal nerves –> dorsal root and dorsal root ganglion –> synapse in dorsal horn of spinal cord
What is the intermesenteric plexus and what does it form/supply?
mixed S and PS
input from superior mesenteric and aortic plexuses
forms periarterial plexus –> follows gonadal As –> ovarian plexus
feeds S into Inferior mesenteric and superior hypogastric
What is the superior hypogastric plexus and what does it produce/innervate?
ONLY sympathetic
input from lumbar splanchnic Ns
produces ureteric plexus and testicular plexus
sends hypogastric Ns to Inf hypogastric plexus
Where can you see the hypogastric Ns?
Can see it superior and anterior to anterior sacral rami
feeds lateral to medial to inf hypogastric plexus
What parasympathetically innervates the descending and sigmoid colon?
inferior hypogastric plexus
What nerves are only parasympathetic?
cavernous Ns
from uterovaginal plexus or prostatic plexus –> work to produce erections
What are the branches of the prostatic plexus?
cavernous Ns (only PS)
Nerves of the ductus deferens
Nerves of the ejaculatory ducts
Nerves of the seminal vesicles
How do visceral sensory fibers from the uterus, cervix, and vagina travel?
from fundus and body of Uterus: w/ sympathetic fibers of uterovaginal plexus
From cervis and upper vagina: w/ Parasympathetics
What branches of the femoral A are relevant?
superficial and deep external pudendal A –> anterior scrotal/labial A
What is the internal rectal venous plexus?
superior most anastomosis of the superior, middle, and inferior rectal Vs
What is the external rectal venous plexus?
inferior most anastomosis of the superior, middle, and inferior Rectal Vs
What N innervates the external urethral sphincter M?
What muscles are associated w/ it and are also innervated by the same nerve?
dorsal N of clitoris/penis
compressor urethrae m
urethrovaginal sphincter M
