Q

what is the pathway of the pudendal nerve?

A

S2-S4 –> greater sciatic foramen –> lesser sciatic foramen –> pudendal canal –> innervates everything that internal pudendal a supplies

Q

what are the sensory/motor functions of the pudendal nerve? 4

A
preganglionic parasympathetic  (GVE)--> glands/sm
postganglionic sympathetic (GVE) --> glands/sm
somatic motor (GSE) --> skeletal m

16
Q

what is the pathway of the internal pudendal a.

A

anterior branch of internal iliac –> greater sciatic foramen –> lesser sciatic foramen –> pudendal canal –> branches to inferior anal canal, ischiorectal fossa, deep/superficial perineal space, helicine arteries –> supply erectile tissue

17
Q

what does the internal pudendal a supply? 4

A

inferior anal canal
ischiorectal fossa
deep/superficial perineal fossa
helicine arteries –> supply erectile tissues and dorsal arteries of penis and clit

18
Q

what innervates the internal anal sphincter?

A

pelvic splanchnic nerves (involuntary)

19
Q

what innervates the external anal sphincter?

A

inferior anal branch of pudendal nerve

20
Q

what structures are at the root of the penis?

A

left and right crura
ischiocavernosis muscle
bulbospongiosus muscle

21
Q

what is the function of the ischiocavernosus muscle?

A

compress the vein that drains corpus cavernosa causing erection (parasympathetic)

22
Q

what is the function of the bulbospongiosus muscle?

A

compresses urethra to empty it of semen and urine

23
Q

what is the organization of the shaft of the penis?

A

3 bodies of erectile tissue
bilateral corpus cavernosa
corpus spongiosum
surrounded by bucks fascia

24
Q

what makes up the femle external genitalia?

A

labia majora
labia minora
vestibule
clitoris

25
Q

what do the labia majora unite to form?

A

mons pubis

26
Q

what do the labia minora do?

A

surround vestibule

27
Q

what does the vestibule contain?

A

paraurethral glands
greater vestibular glands
external urethral oriphace

28
Q

what makes up the clitoris?

A

two crura and two corpus cavernosum that combine to form one glans clitoris

ischiocavernosus muscle also contracts to cause lady boner

29
Q

what is the function/location of the bulbs of vestibule in females?

A

just deep to vestible and is composed of erectile tissue covered in bulbocavernosus muscle that inhibits venous return

30
Q

what is the function of the greater vestibular glands?

A

makes a lady moist during sex

31
Q

what can cause impotence in males?

A

athlerosclerosis in the internal pudendal a.

diabetic neuropathy/prostate removal damaging the pudendal nerve

32
Q

what is cut in an episiotomy? why is this done? what is most common cut?

A

skin, bulbospongiosus, superficial transverse perineal muscle, posterior vaginal wall

to enlarge the vaginal canal thats going to tear anyways cause its easier to repair if cut

mediolateral cut
