Q

What is significant about the internal urethral sphincter preventing retrograde ejaculation?

A

Emission AND ejactulation (somatic and symp) are controlled by SYMPATHETIC stimulation

  • internal urethral sphincter closes tightly under this stimulation to prevent retrograde ejaculation

18
Q

Where do the ureters cross the pelvic brim?

A
  • The bifurcation of the common iliac a.
19
Q

What are the components of the UG diaphragm?

A

External Urethral Sphincter

Deep Transverse Perineal

20
Q

What is the innervation of the external urethral spincter?

A
  • Perineal Branch of Pudendal

** Remember - ALL 5 Muscles of the PERINEUM are under PERINEAL N. Control

21
Q

What openings can be found in the seminal colliculus?

A
  • Prostatic Utricle

- Ejactulatory Ducts

22
Q

Where do the Cowper’s glands empty?

A
  • Spongy urethra
23
Q

What is the lowest part of the female peritoneal cavity?

A

Rectouterine pouch

**Fluid accumulation and ectopic pregnancy Sites

24
Q

What is anteVersion

A

Vaginal/Cervix angle

25
Q

What is anteflexion?

A

Cervix/Uterus angle

26
Q

What important structures are found in the suspensory ligament of the ovary?

A

Ovarian a/v and ovarian nerve plexus

27
Q

where is the vas deferens in relation to the epigastric vessels at the deep inguinal ring?

A
  • Vas passes lateral to inferior epigastrics
28
Q

How does the vas deferens travel after exiting the inguinal canal?

A

Over the pubis
Posterioly across body of the bladder
then SUPERIOMEDIAl to ureter to join seminal vesicle

29
Q

What does the ejaculatory duct empty into, and what structures join to make it?

A
  • empties to seminal colliculus in PROSTATIC URETHRA
30
Q

What are the two layers of Pelvic fascia and what makes up each of these?

A

Parietal:
Continuation of TRANSVERSALIS of abdomin

Visceral:
ENDOPELVIC layer - continuation of EXTRAPERITONEAL CT

31
Q

What are the 2 specializations on the parietal layer of pelvic fascia?
- What do these specializations do?

A
  1. Tendinous Arch of Levator Ani
    - Separates Pelvis and Perineum
    - ORIGIN of Levator Ani
  2. Tendinous Arch of Pelvis Facia (“white line”)
    - suture site in pelvic surgery
32
Q

What are the 3 specializations of the Visceral layer of pelvic fascia?

A
  1. Puboprostatic (males) or Pubovesical (females)
    - anchors the neck of the bladder
  2. Cardinal (transverse cervical) Ligament (females)
    - Water under the bridge
  3. Sacrogenital (males) and Uterosacral (females)
    - make rectovesical/rectouterine fold when covered in mucosa
33
Q

Where does the aorta bifurcate into the common iliacs?

A

L4

34
Q

Where does the ureter cross the pelvic brim?

A
  • At the level of the of common iliac bifurcation
35
Q

What forms the anterior boundary of the ovarian fossa?

A
  • External Iliac a.
36
Q

What are the 3 parietal branches from the posterior division of internal iliac?

A
  • iliolumbar
  • lateral sacral a.
  • superior gluteal a. (terminal branch)
37
Q

What are the Parietal Branches of the anterior division of internal iliac?

A
  1. obturator a.
  2. inferior gluteal a. (terminal branch)
  3. internal pudendal. a (terminal branch)
38
Q

What are the 4 Visceral branches of the anterior internal iliac?

A
  1. Superior Vesical a. (from Umbilical A.)
  2. Inferior Vesical a.
  3. Middle Rectal a.
  4. Uterine a.
39
Q

What iliac branch passes between lumbrosacral trunk and S1 root?

A

Superior Gluteal

40
Q

What iliac branch passes between S2 and S3?

A

Inferior Gluteal

41
Q

What iliac branch would have the ureter passing directly under it?

A

Uterine a.

42
Q

How to GVA PAIN fibers get back to the dorsal root ganglion?

A

They travel retrograde on GVE SYMPATHETIC nerve paths

  • ***Exception to this rule = PAIN LINE
  • below the pain line GVA PAIN travels via PELVIC spanchnics to DRG of S2, 3, and 4

**This explains why epidurals at S2-4 work because pain is actually transmitted here for pelvic viscera and somatic (pudendal n. S2-S4)

43
Q

How do GVA REFLEX fibers get back to the dorsal root ganglia?

A

They travel retrograde on GVE PARAsympathetic nerve paths

44
Q

Contents and derivations of the Spermatic cord.
