blood supply of vagina

branches of internal iliac artery, specifically uterine and vaginal arteries

which 3 layers is spermatic cord contained within

external spermatic fascia cremaster muscle and its fascia internal spermatic fascia

course of ureters

arise from renal pelvis, travel through the abdominal and pelvic cavity before ending in 2 ureteric orifices in the bladder

function of fimbriae

catch the egg release from its ovary at time of ovulation sweep egg into fallopian tube via ciliary action

what is ischioanal fossa

paired, fat filled triangular space, lateral to the anal canal

what do the cavernous space blood vessels converge to form

deep dorsal vein

shape of sacrum

triangular with a concave anterior surface

clinical relevance of constrictions of ureters

stones more likely to become stuck here

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

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

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
