triangular with a concave anterior surface
clinical relevance of constrictions of ureters
stones more likely to become stuck here

umbilical
superior vesical
inferior vesical
middle rectal
obturator
internal pudendal
inferior gluteal
uterine
2 hiatuses of pelvic floor
ureogenital hiatus
rectal hiatus
urogenital hiatus
allows urethra (and vagina) to pass through pelvic floor
rectal hiatus
allows anal canal to pass through pelvic floor
what does external iliac vein drain
femoral
inferior epigastric
deep circumflex iliac veins
location of bulbourethral glands
posterolateral to membranous part of urethra in males
what do pubosacral ligaments form an attachment between
cervix and pubic symphysis
innervation of ureters
renal plexus and ganglia, ureteric branches from intermesenteric plexus, pelvic splanchnic nerves and inferior hypogastric plexuses
histological covering of ovary
cuboidal epithelial cells
what are seminiferous tubules lined by
sertoli cells
major nerve in perineum
pudendal nerve
histology of endocervix
simple columnar epithelium
where are bulbourethral glands located
in deep perineal pouch
lateral to membranous urethra
what is difference between males and females re sacrum
females: shorter, wider, directed more obliquely backwards
arterial supply of vagina
uterine and vaginal arteries
lymphatic drainage of uterine tubes
aortic to lumbar nodes
what is located on either side of external urethral orifice
paraurethral glands
contents of femoral triangle (lateral to medial)
femoral nerve
femoral artery
femoral vein
femoral canal
what is the mons pubis
fat pad anterior to the pubic symphysis located at meeting of labia majora
what are the seminal vesicles?
two pouches that contribute to seminal fluid by producing additional alkaline fluid, prostaglandins and fructose
which part of cervix communicates directly with uterus?
internal ostium
arterial supply of the penile (spongy) urethra
internal pudendal artery
tissue found at apex of prostate
fibromuscular stroma
nervous innervation of testes
genital branch of genitofemoral nerve (L1/2)
which part of cervix directly communicates with the vagina?
external ostium
structures found within urogenital triangle of perineum
external genitalia
urethra
perineal membrane’
deep and superficial perineal pouches
what 4 structures does vestibule contain
external urethral orifice
opening of vagina
ducts of greater vestibular glands
ducts of lesser vestibular glands
location of prostate gland
inferior to neck of bladder and posterior to ampulla of the rectum
lymph drainage of female urethra
internal iliac nodes
course of female urethra
runs from neck of bladder through the pelvic floor and opens in the vestibule between the labia minora and anterior to the vagina
where does cremasteric muscle insert
tunica vaginalis
what do the 2 meetings of labia minora create
anterior = clitoral hood

course of spermatic cord
starts in inferior abdomen
travels through inguinal canal entering deep inguinal ring
passes through inguinal canal and traverses the scrotum through superficial inguinal ring
spermatic cord ends in the scrotum at the posterior testicular border
