A

left to renal vein, right to IVC.

28
Q

What is the lymph drainage of the penis?

A

follow testicular artiers to para-aortic or lumbar lymph nodes (L1).

29
Q

What is the blood supply to the scrotum?

A

anterior to external pudendal artery and vein, both going to/from vemoral. Posterior from internal pudendal artery.

30
Q

What is the lymph drainage of the scrotum?

A

superficial inguinal nodes.

31
Q

What are the terminal branches of the internal pudendal artery to the penis?

A

Deep dorsal arteries, deep central arteries.

32
Q

Where are the deep dorsal arteries of the penis?

A

Lateral to the central dorsal vein to supply the spin, erectile tissue and penile urethra.

33
Q

Where are the deep central arteries of the penis?

A

Center of corpora cavernosa to supply the helicine arteries.

34
Q

What are the helicine arteries?

A

branches of deep central artereis that open into the corpora cavernosa during erection.

35
Q

What is the venous drainage of the penis?

A

Deep dorsal vein receive return from corpora cavernosa, it passes under arcuate ligament above the tranverse ligament of perinum and drain into prostatic venous plexus, vesicle plexus and terminating in internal iliac veins.

36
Q

What is the lymph drainage of the penis?

A

Substance of penis to internal iliac nodes, skin glands and distal urethra to inguinal nodes.

37
Q

What is Denonviller’s fascia?

A

think fibromusclar layer of connective tissue which separate the seminal vesicles from the rectum. Continuous with strome of prostate.

38
Q

What do the Seminal vesicles secrete?

A

Fructose, prostaglandins, ascorbic acid, simpl sugars and amino acids.

39
Q

What are the parts of the prostate?

A

Base, Apex, Isthmus, posterior, right left and middle lobes.

40
Q

What is the base of the prostate?

A

part at neck of bladder inferior to internal sphincter of the urethra.

41
Q

What is the apex of the prostate?

A

part superior to external spinchter of urethra.

42
Q

What is the Isthumus (antierior muscular zone or anterior lobe) of the prostate?

A

Made of muscle and continous with external sphincter and anterior to urethra.

43
Q

What is the posterior surface of the prostate?

A

part in front of ampulla of rectum.

44
Q

What are the right and left lobes of the prostate?

A

Peripheral zones divded into 4 lobules.

45
Q

What is the importants of the inferoposterior lobule of the prostate?

A

palpable upon rectal examination.

46
Q

What is the importants of the middle lobule of the prostate?

A

Benign prostate hypertrophy happens here encroaching on uvula of bladder making it difficult to urinate.

47
Q

What is the urethral crest?

A

centrally located ridge in prostatic urethra on posterior wall which has the colliculus seminalis.

48
Q
