225
superficial transverse perineus att and action
from ischial tuberosity to perineal body fixes perineal body
226

homolog in inferior vesical artery divides into vaginal and inferior vesicle branches to supply lower vagina, vestibular bulb and fundus of bladder. @uterine a.
228
what is inside the deep perineal pouch?
external uretral sphincter, urethra, bulbourethral glands (M), and vaginal canal (F)
229
venous drainage of vulva
internal pudendal vein
230
Ampulla
widest and longest part of the tube which begins at the medial end of the infundibulum. fertilization occurs in the ampulla
231
supravesical fossa
space created by peritoneum reflecting on the superior surface of the bladder.
232
crus of clitoris
attach to inferior pubic rami and perineal membrane, deep to the labia.
233
Sphincter urethrae m
surround urethra and is deep to compressor urethrae compresses urethra
234
Dorsal sacral foramina function
transmits dorsal rami of sacral nerves
235
ischiocavernosus muscles in male
surround the cura at the root of the penis
236
levator ani attachements and actions
pubic symphysis, obturator fascia, ischial spine to midline raphe and anococcygeal ligament supports pelvic viscera and compresses rectum and vagina
237
innervation of ureter
adjacent autonomic plexuses (renal, aortic, hypogastric)
238
Dorsal sacroiliac ligmanets
from lateral sacral crest to posterior superior iliac spine
239
Ovarian a.
origin: abdominal aorta descends retroperitoneally to cross the pelvic brim and descends in ligament of ovary supplies abdominal and/or pelvic ureter, ovary, and ampulla of uterine tube @ with uterine a
240
Corpus of the clitoris
makes up the body of the clitoris on either side of the orifices
241
common iliac nodes
drain internal and external iliac nodes
242
Uterine tubes
conduct oocytype discharged monthly extend laterally from uterus and open into the peritoneal cavity superior to the ovaries (usually) divided into four parts: fimbria, infundibulum, ampulla, ithmus
243
suspensory ligament of the penis
condensation of deep fascia from the anterior pubic symphysis passes inferiorly to splits to form a sling that attaches to deep fascia at junction of root and body. anchors erectile bodies to pubic sympysis
244
Internal iliac artery
principal artery of the pelvis divides into anterior and posterior division at the superior edge of greater sciatic foramen
245
how to ejaculatory ducts release into the urethra?
open in the seminal colliculus by tiny, slit like aperture on the prostatic utricle
246
internal iliac veins
form superior to the greater sciatic foramen and lie posteroinferior to internal iliac arteries. tributaries roughly accompany arteries. no umbilical veins
247
Vagina in pelvic area
distensible musculomembranous tube that extends from cervix of uterus to vaginal orifice. has two fornices
