Q

Describe gonadal lymphatic drainage

A
  • Ovaries/testes → para-aortic lymph nodes
  • Body of uterus/superior bladder → external iliac nodes
  • Prostate/cervix/corpus cavernosum/proximal vagina → internal iliac nodes
  • Distal vagina/vulva/scrotum/distal anus → superficial inguinal nodes
  • Glans penis → deep inguinal nodes

Q

Things to remeber regarding gonadal lymphatic and venous drainage

A
  • “Left gonadal vein takes the Longest way”
  • Because the left spermatic vein enters the left renal vein at a 90o angle, flow is less laminar on left than on the right → left venous pressure > right venous pressure → varicocele more common on the left

23
Q

Infundibulopelvic ligament AKA

A

Suspensory ligament of the ovary

24
Q

Infundibulopelvic ligament notes

A
  • Ligate vessels during oophorectomy to avoid bleeding
  • Ureter courses retroperitoneally, close to gonadal vessels → at risk of injury during ligation of ovarian vessels
25
Q

Cardinal ligament function

A

Connects the cervix to the side wall of pelvis and contains the uterine vessels

26
Q

Cardinal ligament notes

A

Ureter at risk of injury during ligation of uterine vessels in hysterectomy

27
Q

Female reproductive related ligaments

A
  • Infundibulopelvic ligament
  • Cardinal ligament
  • Round ligament of the uterus
  • Broad ligament
  • Ovarian ligament
28
Q

Round ligament of the uterus function

A

Connects the uterine horn to labia majora doesn’t contain anything

29
Q

Round ligament of the uterus notes

A
  • Derivative of gubernaculum
  • Travels through round inguinal canal; above the artery of Sampson
30
Q

Broad ligament function

A

Connects the Uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries to pelvic side wall and contains ovaries, fallopian tubes, round ligaments of uterus

31
Q

Broad ligament notes

A

Fold of peritoneum that comprises the mesosalpinx, mesometrium and mesovarium

32
Q

Ovarian ligament function

A

Connects Medial pole of ovary to the uterine horn

33
Q

Ovarian ligament notes

A

Derivative of gubernaculum

Ovarian Ligament Latches to Lateral uterus

34
Q

Vagina histology

A

Stratified squamous epithelium, nonkeratinized

35
Q

Ectocervix histology

A

Stratified squamous epithelium, nonkeratinized

36
Q

Transformation zone hiistology

A

Squamocolumnar junction (most common area for cervical cancer)

37
Q

What is the most common area for cervical cancer?

A

The transformation zone squamocolumnar junction

38
Q

Endocervix histology

A

Simple columnar epithelium

39
Q

Uterus histology

A

Simple columnar epithelium with long tubular glands in proliferative phase; coiled glands in secretory phase

40
Q

Fallopian tube histology

A

Simple columnar epithelium, ciliated

41
Q

Ovary, outer surface histology

A

Simple cuboidal epithelium (germinal epithelium covering surface of ovary)

42
Q

Male reproductive anatomy

A

43
Q

Urethral injury epidemiology

A
  • Occurs almost exclusively in men
  • Suspect if blood seen at urethral meatus
  • Urethral catheterization is relatively contraindicated
44
Q

Part of the urethra involved in anterior urethral injury

A

Bulbar (spongy) urethra

45
Q

Part of the urethra involved in posterior urethral injury

A

Membranous urethra

46
Q

Mechanism of anterior urethral injury

A

Perineal straddle injury

47
Q

Mechanism of posterior urethral injury

A

Pelvic fracture

48
Q

Location of urine leak/blood accumulation in Anterior urethral injury

A

Blood accumulates in scrotum

IF Buck fascia is torn, urine escapes into the perineal space

49
Q

Location of urine leak/blood accumulation in Posterior urethral injury

A

Urine leaks into retropubic space

50
Q

Presentation of Anterior urethral injury

A

Blood at urethral meatus and scrotal hematoma

51
Q

Presentation of Posterior urethral injury

A

Blood at urethral meatus and high-riding prostate

52
Q

Autonomic innervation of the male sexual response: processes innervated

A
  • Erection
  • Emission
  • Ejaculation
53
Q

Describe the Autonomic innervation of erection

A
  • Parasympathetic nervous system (pelvic splanchnic nerves, S2-S4)
  • NO → ↑ cGMP → smooth muscle relaxation → vasodilation → proerectile
  • Norepinephrine → ↑ [Ca2+] → smooth muscle contraction → vasoconstriction → antierectile
54
Q

Describe the autonomic innervation of Emission

A

Sympathetic nervous system (hypogastric nerve, TH-L2)

55
Q

Describe the autonomic innervation of Ejaculation

A

Visceral and Somatic nerves (pudendal nerve)

56
Q

Mnemonic of autonomic innervation of the male sexual response

A

PSS

Point

Squeeze

Shoot

57
Q

Sildenafil moa in the male sexual response

A

PDE-5 inhibitors (eg sildenafil) ↓cGMP breakdown
