Q

Where do the pelvic splanchnic nerves go in females?

A

innervate the urethra and the rectum

forms the uterovaginal plexus (ovaries, uterus, etc)

25
Describe the coccygeal plexus
S4, S5, coccygeal nerve | anococcygeal nerve
26
Describe the sacral splanchnic nerves
- sympathetic - from the sacral plexus - feed into the sacral sympathetic trunk and then into the inferior hypogastric plexus
27
Describe the lumbar splanchnic nerves
- sympathetic - from the lumbar plexus to the abdominal sympathetic plexus, inferior mesenteric ganglion and the superior hypogastric plexus (to the uterine tubes in a female)
28
What are the two types of the paravertebral ganglia?
1. ganglion impar | 2. superior hypogastric
29
Describe the ganglion impar
Coccygeal ganglion
30
Describe the superior hypogastric paravertebral ganglia
- sympathetic from the lumbar and sacral splanchnic nerves | - feeds into the inferior hypogastric plexus
31
What does the inferior hypogastric plexus supply in males?
urethra, ductus deferent, prostate gland, and ejeaculatory ducts
32
What does the inferior hypogastric plexus supply in females?
innervates the urethra and produces uterovaginal plexus
33
What is the pelvic diaphragm?
a muscular sheet that covers the pelvic outlet - forms a muscular sling that supports the pelvic organs - major constituent is the levator ani complex - consists of the levator ani and the coccygeus
34
What does the levator ani consist of?
- puborectalis; forms a sling around the anorectal junction - pubococcygeus - iliococcygeus
35
What is the levator ani
- forms a muscular sling supporting pelvic organs | - incomplete anteriorly to allow for passage of urethra and vagina
36
What is the urogenital diaphragm?
a layer of skeletal muscle between two layers of fascia
37
What is the urogenital diaphragm penetrated by?
the membranous urethra and vagina
38
Describe the sischioanal fossa
- wedge shaped space between the anal canal, obturator interns, pelvic diaphragm, and skin - filled with loose connective tissue and fat - allows expansion of the anal canal during defecation and the vagina during child birth
39
What is the diamond shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm and what are the "four points"?
this is the perineum anterior: pubic symphysis posterior: coccyx Lateral: ischial tuberosities has the same boundary has the inferior pelvic aperture
40
Describe the two triangles that the perineum is divided into by the imaginary line connecting the ischial tuberosities
1. anal triangle: posterior | 2. Urogenital triangle/diaphragm: anterior, pierced by urethra in males and females; pierced by the vaginal in females
41
What are the 4 muscles that are associated with the perineum?
1. sphincter urethrae 2. superficial and deep perineal muscles 3. ischiocavernosus muscle 4. bulbospongiosus muscle
42
What is the blood supply of the perineum?
internal pudendal artery
43
What is the nerve supply of the perineum
pudendal nerve and the sacral autonomics
44
What are the urogenital diaphragm layers?
1. superficial layers of fascia of urogenital diaphragm 2. urogenital diaphragm 3. Perineal membrane 4. superficial space 5. bulbourethral glands (male)
45
Describe the sphincter urethrae muscle in terms of 1. origin 2. insertion 3. action 4. innervation
1. medial surface of the inferior pubic rams 2. urethra in males and the vagina and urethra in females 3. constricts membranous urethra in males and vagina and urethra in females 4. innervated by the perineal nerve
46
Describe the transverse perineal muscle in terms of 1. origin 2. insertion 3. action 4. innervation
1. ischiopubic rams and ischial tuberosity 2. median raphe, perineal body and external and sphincter 3. supports and fixes perineal body to support abdominopelvic viscera 4. innervated by the perineal nerve
47
What are the structures and the muscles in the superficial space?
Structures: great vestibular glands muscles: ischiocavernosus muscle, bulbospongiosus muscle , superficial transverse perineal muscle
48
Describe the perineal body
central tendon - irregular fibromuscular mass - median plane between anal canal and perineal membrane
49
What is the perineal body a junction point for?
1. bulbospongiosus muscle 2. external anal sphincter 3. superficial/deep transverse perineal muscles
50
Describe the superficial perineal pouch and its contents
located between the membranous layer of subQ tissue and perineal membrane contains the... 1. bulbospongiosus muscle 2. ischiocavernosus muscle 3. superficial transverse perineal muscle
51
Describe the superficial transverse perineal muscle in terms of 1. origin 2. insertion 3. action 4. innervation
1. ischiopubic ramus and ischial tuberosity 2. central tendon perineum 3. stabilize central tendon 4. inverted by the perineal branch of the pudendal nerve
52
Describe the ischiocavernosus muscle in terms of 1. origin 2. insertion 3. action 4. innervation
1. ischiopubic ramus and ischia tuberosity 2. corpus cavernosus of the penis and clitoris 3. maintains the erection of the penis and clitoris by compressing venous drainage 4. innervated by the perineal branch of the pudendal nerve
53
Describe the bulbospongiosus muscle in terms of 1. origin 2. insertion 3. action 4. innervation
1. central tendon of the perineum 2. inferior fascial of the urogenital diaphragm, corpus spongiosum of penis and deep fascia on dorsal of penis in male 3. micturition; propel semen, erections, decrease vaginal orifice 4. innervated: perineal branch of pudendal nerve
54
Describe the anorectal junction
- between the rectum and anal canal - superior to the anal columns - pectinate line
55
Where is the anal canal?
between the rectum and the external anal orifice
56
Where are the anal valves?
At the inferior end of anal columns
57
