Q

semen pathway

A

seminferous tubules –> rete testis –> epididymis (head, body, tail) –> vas deferens –> inguinal canal –> behind bladder –> ejaculatory duct –> travels through prostate gland –> prostatic urethra –> membranous urethra –> spongy/penile urethra

22
Q

Where is the scrotum?

A

outside body cavity –> cooler temp

23
Q

What is the fibromuscular sac for testes?

A

scrotum

24
Q

What are the layers of the scrotum?

A

skin –> superficial (dartos)fascia –> external spermatic fascia –> cremaster muscle –> internal spermatic fascia (internal oblique) –> parietal layer, tunica vaingalis –> visceral layer, tunica vaginalis –> tunica albuginea

less commonstarts at MEDIAL to inferior epigastric artery

28
Q

Spermatic cord path?

A

deep inguinal ring –> inguinal canal –> superificial inguina ring –> scrotum

29

Structures going to and from testes?

A

spermatic cord

30
Q

Spermatic cord layers?

32
Q

Erectile tissue - penis?

A

corpus spongiosum

corpora cavernosa

33
Q

Sympathetic vs parasympathetic?

attached to ischiopubic ramus
attached to thigh crease
attached to posterior border of UG diaphragm
continuous w/ fascia of abdomen, scrotum, and penis

35
Q

What is a straddle injury?

A

rupture of male urethra
urine into scrotum, penis, and anterior abdominal wall
goes through potential space between superficial and deep fascia
