Q

What is the venous drainage of the urinary bladder in males?

A

39
Q

What is the venous drainage of the urinary bladder in females?

A

Vesical venous plexus combines with uterovaginal venous plexus and receives blood from bladder, pelvic part of urethra and dorsal vein of clitoris, then drains to internal iliac V.

40

42
Q

Parasympathetic innervation of the urinary bladder is via what?

A

S2-S4 Pelvic Splanchnic N via inferior hypogastric plexus

43
Q

What is the function of parasympathetic innervation to the urinary bladder?

A

Motor to the detrusor M and inhibitory for internal urethral sphincter which stimulates urine to exit urinary bladder

44
Q

Urinary flow is aided by contraction of ______ and _______.

A

diaphragm and abdominal muscles

45
Q

Sympathetic innervation of the urinary bladder is via what?

A

T11-L2 splanchnic nerves through both hypogastric plexuses

46
Q

The function of sympathetic innervation to the urinary bladder?

A

Results in contraction of internal urethral sphincter in concert with ejaculation to prevent urine mixing with ejactulate

47
Q

Visceral afferents from the superior surface of the urinary bladder follow what?

A

Sympathetics retrograde to T11-L2

48
Q

Visceral afferents from the inferior surface of the urinary bladder follow what?

A

Parasympathetics retrograde to S2-S4
