Pelvic Content- Male

Question 1

Vas deferens

Answer 1

Tube that runs from the testicles to the prostate

Question 2

Parts of vas deferens

Answer 2

Ampulla of the vase deferens: storage of all spermatozoa that came from the testicle

• joins to the seminal vesicle and forms the ejaculatory duct that goes through the prostate gland

Question 3

Arterial supply of the vas deferens

Answer 3

Differential artery: branch of the inferior vesical artery; anastomoses with the testicular artery

Question 4

Veins of Vas deferens

Answer 4

Deferntial vein

Question 5

Lymphatic drainage of the vas deferens

Answer 5

External lymph nodes (located at the level of the inguinal region)

Question 6

Innervation of the vas deferens

Answer 6

Inferior hypogastric plexus

Question 7

Seminal Vesicles

Answer 7

DO NOT STORE SPERM

Function: produce fluid that will be expelled with sperm during ejaculation

Located: between the fundus of the bladder and the rectum

Located at the rectovesical pouch and separates these from the rectum

Will join to vas deferens (ampulla) to form the ejactulatory duct)

Question 8

Arterial Supply of the seminal vesicle

Answer 8

Inferior vesical artery and middle rectal artery

Question 9

Veins of the Seminal vesicles

Answer 9

Inferior vesical and middle rectal veins

Question 10

Lymphatic drainage of the Seminal Vesicles

Answer 10

Internal iliac lymph nodes

Question 11

Nerves of the Seminal Vesicles

Answer 11

Inferior hypogastric plexus

Question 12

Ejaculatory ducts

Answer 12

Union of the ampulla of vas deferens and the seminal vesicles

Question 13

Arterial supply of the ejaculatory ducts

Answer 13

Deferential artery

Question 14

Venous supply of ejaculatory ducts

Answer 14

prostatic and vesical plexus

Question 15

Lymphatic drainage of the ejaculatory ducts

Answer 15

external iliac lymph nodes

Question 16

Innervation of the Ejaculatory ducts

Answer 16

Inferior hypogastric plexus

Question 17

Prostate gland

Answer 17

MAIN GLAND OF THE MALE

It is covered by a Prostatic capsule: thick fibrous prostatic sheath

Question 18

Parts of the Prostate gland

Answer 18

Base (neck of the bladder)

Apex

Anterior surface: muscular tissue

Posterior surface: close contact with ampulla of rectum

Inferiolateral surface: close contact with the levator ani muscles

Question 19

Lobes of the Prostate gland

Answer 19

Anterior Lobe (Isthmus): anterior to the urethra; fibromuscular; scanty glands

Middle Lobe: composed of scanty glands; the main area of adenocarcinoma of prostate glands

Posterior Lobe: posterior to the urethra; palpable rectal exam (Benign Prostate hypertrophy)

Lateral lobe: each side of the urethra; abundant glands- produce some of the fluid that is expelled during ejaculation

Question 20

Prostatic ducts

Answer 20

The prostatic sinus receives main ducts from the prostatic glands

The prostatic sinus opens into the prostatic ducts

Question 21

Arterial supply of Prostate Gland

Answer 21

Inferior vesical artery

Internal pudendal and middle rectal artery

Question 22

Venous supply of the Prostate gland

Answer 22

Prostatic and vesical plexus

Question 23

Lymphatic Drainage of the Prostate Gland

Answer 23

Internal iliac and sacral lymph nodes

Question 24

Innervation of the Prostate Gland

Answer 24

Parasympathetic: pelvic splanchinic (S2-S4)

Sympathetic: inferior hypogastric plexus
