25
Q

which muscle in the testes is the “wrinkler”

A

dartos muscle

26
Q

define inguinal canal

A

oblique passageway in inguinal region through which the spermatic cord in male and round ligament in female traverse the ab. wall

27
Q

thick muscular tube that carries sperm and semen located in the inguinal canal

A

ductus deferens

28
Q

where does the testicular a. orginate?

A

aorta, just below renal a.

29
Q

what oxygenates the cremasteric muscle?

A

cremasteric a.

30
Q

where does the cremasteric a. originate?

A

inf. epigastric a.

31
Q

what oxygenates the ductus deferens?

A

ductus deferens a.

32
Q

where does the ductus deferens orginate?

A

inferior vesicular a.

33
Q

what is the pampiniform plexus?

A

network formed by around 12 veins that converge superiorly as the left or right testicular v.

34
Q

where does the right testicular v. drain? left?

A 
right= inferior vena cava
left= l. renal vein
35
Q

what nerves are found in the inguinal canal?

A
  1. genital branch of the genitofemoral n.
  2. sympathetics accompany testicular a. and ductus deferens
  3. anterior cutaneous branches of iliohypogastric
  4. sympathetics running with ilioinguinal and posterior scrotal n. (**in canal, not cord!)
  5. parasympathetics from S2-4 on ductus deferens
36
Q

anterior border of inguinal canal

A

aponeurosis of ext. oblique

37
Q

floor of canal

A

inguinal ligament

38

lacunar lligament

39
Q

posterior border of canal

A

40
Q

posterior medial border of canal

A

conjoint tendon

41
Q

where do the lymphatics of the testes drain to..

A

lumbar lymph nodes

42
Q

Formation of the inguinal canal- when begin?

A

7th week

projection of parietal peritoneum called processus vaginalis begins to invaginate through boday wall next to gubernaculum

43
Q

gubernaculum?

A

ligamentous-like primordia that attaches b/w developing testes/ovary and scrotal/labial folds

44
Q

what does the gubernaculum become in women?

A

cranial: ovarian ligament
caudal: round ligament

45
Q

do females have cremaster muscle?

A

yes

few short loops of muscle around the round ligament

46
Q

where does the round ligament terminate?

A

labia majora

47
Q

what is male equivalent of labia majora?

48
Q

Direct hernia

A

through hasselbach’s triangle

contained by external oblique or push through superficial ring

49
Q

indirect hernia

A

through patent processus vaginalis, alongside spermatic cord

50
Q

congenital hernia

A

indirect hernia, younger patients

51
Q

femoral hernia

A

below inginal ligament wher fmeoral vessels push through

52
Q

hasselbach’s triangle borders

A
  1. inferior epigastric vessels
  2. rectus abdominus
  3. inguinal ligament
53
Q

hydrocele and hematocele

A

serous fluid or blood build up within the tunica vaginalis

54
Q

spermatocele

A

cyst within the head of the pididymis

- may think they have cancer

55
Q

cryptorchidism

A

failure of testes to descend (testes descend around 8m. gestation)

56
Q

monochidism/polychidism

A

one testicle/more than 2 testicles

57
Q

ectopic testes

A

lodged in the abdominal cavity somewhere

58
Q

what is cut in vasectomy?

A

ductus deferens

- it is not tied afterwards
