internal sphincter:
external sphincter:
detrusor: contracted → PSNS
internal sphincter: relaxed → PSNS
external sphincter: relaxed → voluntary
SNS innervation of bladder/urethra
spinal cord → L1-L3
PSNS innervation of bladder/urethra
S2-S4 → pudendal n
external sphincter is under __ control (2)
somatic
voluntary
trigone m is the __ portion
of the __
triangular
bladder floor
ventral trigone is formed by the
internal urethral sphincter
dorsolateral trigone
right and left ureter
male catheterization anatomy
curve upward at 30 degree angle at the prostate
female catheterization anatomy
shorter
no curve
short urethra predisposes to
cystitis
4 parts of male urethra
preprostatic
prostatic
membranous
spongy
course of round ligament

when the round ligament is stretched in pregnancy, pain can be felt in the __ (2)

labia majora
supporting structures of the uterus
pelvic diaphragm
urogenital diaphragm/perineal membrane
perineal body
true ligamentous structures
pelvic diaphragm includes (3)
levator ani m
coccygeus m
associated fascia
the perineal body separates the __
and the __
vagina
anus
clinical significance of perineal body
often tear during vaginal delivery → widens gap btw free borders of levator ani on both sides → incontinence
