volume

26
Q

Where is the prostate gland situated?

pubo-vaginalis

28
Q

What is in the urethral crest?

A

bump - two gutters on eaither side called prostatic sinuses.

A

peritoneal membrane -

30
Q

What does the prostate gland relate to posteriorly?

A

the rectum

31
Q

A

its the part that enlarges in benign prostatic hypertrophy

32
Q

What is the approx size of the uterus?

A

8cm/5cm/3cm

33
Q

The uterus is nromally positioned..

A

anti-verted (bend forwards on the vagina) and anti-flexed (flexed forward on itself)

but not always

34
Q

true or False

The uterus is slightly flattened in the anterior/posterior direction

A

true

35
Q

The part of the body of the uterus that narrows to become the cervix is the…

A

Isthmus

36
Q

What are the delineations of the cervix?

A

twowards the vagina: external uterine opening

towards the isthmus: internal uterine opening

37
Q

the canal of the cervix is how long?

A

2-3cm in length

38
Q

Which part of the uterus is fixed? (the ligaments are a really important, learn them)

A

the neck - by fascial condensations (utero-sacral lig. and lateral cervical)

39
Q

Where does the broad ligament go from?

A

from side walls of uterus, uterine tubes are in the superior aspect

to

side walls of pelvis

40
Q

how long are the uterine tubes? where are they?

A

10-14cm in length - in the superior part of the broad ligament

41
Q

What is the name of the part of the uterine tube that is in the uterus?

A

intramural

42
Q

What are the sections of the uterine tube AFTER the itramural part?

A

isthmus - straight and narrow

ampulla

infundibulum

43
Q

The ovary is stuck on the back of the ____ ligament

A

broad ligament

but hangs off with its own little mesentery

44
Q

The ovary sits on the side wall of the pelvis in a shallow fossa, between the …

A

internal and external iliac vessels

where they divide

45
Q

what attaches the ovary to the upper and angle (shoulder) of the uterus?

A

ovarian ligament - continuous with the round ligament

46
Q

what supplies the ovary?

A

ovarian artery - one of the paired branches coming off the aorta

then gives off a branch to the uterine tube - this anastomoses with the uterine artery from the side wall of the pelvis (crosses the ureter in females remember!)

prolapse - things moving where they shouldn’t

uterus usually pushed down into the vagina

50
Q

A

Rectum

The upper 1/3 has no mesentery but peritoneum covering it front and side

IMA

after supplying colon, becomes the superior rectal artery

also reinforced by a middle rectal artery from the side wall of pelvis (from internal iliac)
