Most arteries of the pelvis and perineum arise from which artery?
Internal iliac artery
Where does the gonadal artery (other testicular or ovarian) arise from?
Abdominal aorta
Where does the superior rectal artery arise from?
Continuation of the IMA
MALE - Anterior division of the internal iliac artery gives rise to
Obturator artery
Superior vesical artery
Inferior vesical artery
Middle rectal artery
MALE - Which artery of the anterior division of the internal iliac artery is only present in males?
Inferior vesical artery
MALE - Posterior division of the internal iliac artery gives rise to
Iliolumbar artery
Laterosacral artery
Superior gluteal artery
PILS
- posterior division
- iliolumbar
- laterosacral
- superior gluteal
MALE - What does the inferior vesical artery supply
Base of bladder
Prostate
Seminal canal
MALE - Arterial supply to the male perineum - most branches arise from which artery?
Internal pudendal artery
MALE - what does the anterior scrotal artery arise from?
EXTERNAL iliac artery
FEMALE - uterine artery has a straight/torturous course? Why is this?
Torturous course
- so that when the uterus increases in size during pregnancy, the artery can be stretched
FEMALE - when trying to locate the uterine artery, which landmark do we look for?
Ureter
FEMALE - describe the location relationship between the uterine artery and the ureter
Water under the bridge
- ureter = posterior
- uterine artery = anterior
FEMALE - since there is no inferior vesical artery in the male, what is this replaced by?
