What is pudendal nerve motor innervation to skeletal muscles associated with (2)

A

Pelvic region-External anal sphincter (via caudal rectal nerve) and bladder sphincter muscle

Repro

23
Q

Pudendal nerve supplies what type of innervation

A

Sensory to the perineal region and repro structures

24
Q

Purpose of bladder

A

Storage and voiding of urine

25
Q

What kind of muscle does the bladder contain

A

Smooth muscle

–>Detrusor muscle

26
Q

What are the three normal openings of the bladder

A

L and R ureters

Urethra

27
Q

What are found at the neck of the bladder that allows urine storage

A

Internal and external urethral sphincter

28
Q

Internal urethral sphincter muscle type and innervation

A

Smooth muscle

Sympathetic innervation

29
Q

External urethral sphincter muscle and innervation

A

Urethralis muscle, skeletal muscle

Somatic innervation via pudendal nerve

30
Q

Location of the bladder depends on

A

Distention of bladder (abdominal vs pelvis)

31
Q

What protects urine from flowing backwards towards kidney

A

Pressure from distension of bladder

32
Q

What is the trigone of the bladder

A

Triangular region at the neck of the bladder thats demarcated by the

openings for the ureters
Urethral orifice

33
Q

What are the major blood supply branches to bladder?

A

Vaginal or prostatic a.

umbilical a via cranial vesicle-if patent

34
Q

Major nerve supply to bladder (3)

A

Pelvic nerve
Hypogastric nerve
Pudendal nerve

35
Q

Pelvic nerve:bladder

-type of innervation and action

A

Parasympathetic (voiding)

Sensory (detects distension)

36
Q

Hypogastric nerve:bladder

-type of innervation and action

A

Sympathetic (storage)

Sensory (detects over distension)

37
Q

Pudendal nerve:bladder

-type of innervation and action

A

Targets external urethral sphincter (urethralis m)

Sensory (urethra)

38
Q

What is the ischiorectal fossa

A

Space in the region of the ischiatic table and rectum

39
Q

Boundaries of the ischiorectal fossa

A

Medial:external anal sphincter, pelvic diaphragm
Ventral:internal obturator muscke
Lateral: Sacrotuberous ligament, superficial gluteal muscle
Caudolateral: skin

40
Q

What is the ischiorectal fossa normally filled with (3)

A

Fat, blood vessels, nerves

41
Q

Anal canal is the continuation of

-rectum is

A

Rectum to the anus

Rectum is external opening of the anal canal

42
Q

What is the anal canal surrounded by

A

Internal anal sphincter (smooth muscle) and an external anal sphincter (skeletal muscle)

43
Q

Three zones of the anal canal

A

Columnar zone (anal columns=spaghetti)

Intermediate zone (anocutaneous line)

Cutaneous zone (fine hairs, circumanal glands, openings for the paranal sinuses AKA anal sacs

44
Q

Paranal sinuses

  • AKA
  • What are they
  • Where
A

Anal sacs

Sebaceous and apocrine glands line the paranal sinuses

Open at the anocutaneous line (4-5 oclock and 7-8 oclock)

45
Q

External anal sphincter

-Innervated by

A

Skeletal muscle in EAS is innervated by caudal rectal nerve which is a branch of the pudendal nerve

46

A

Caudal rectal n

47

Perineal reflex
-Assesses the function of the pudendal nerve and sacral spinal cord segments S1-S3.

Critical for urinary and fecal competence
