Q

venous drainage of bladder?

A
  • drains into dense venous plexus around base/neck
  • prostatic venous plexus in males
  • vesico-vaginal plexus in females
  • these drain to deep dorsal v. of penis and internal iliac v.
  • ** important with prostatic cancer***

Q

uretal orifices

A
  • where ureter opens into bladder at superior-lateral angles
  • there are no valves
  • pressure on bladder wall closes intramural ureters during distension and empyting of the bladder

  2. prostatic: portion passing through prostate
  3. membranous: portion passing through UG diaphragm
  4. penile: portion from inferior surface of UG diaphragm

17
Q

what vertebral level does rectum originate at?

A

3rd sacral vertebra at the rectosigmoid junction
- can be distinguished from sigmoid colon because it lacks mesocolon, teniae coli are spread out and surround the entire rectum.

18
Q

two curvatures of the rectum?

A
  1. rectum proper: from origination to perineal flexure

2. anal canal: from perineal flexure to anus

19
Q

anatomical vs. clinical anal canal

A

anatomical: from level of upper surface of pelvic diaphragm to anus
clinical: from pectinate line to anal verge

20
Q

what portion of rectum contains peritoneum

A

ventral rectum

21
Q

layers of rectum?

A
  1. muscular layer:
    - outer longitudinal mm. - blend with fibers of levator ani at anal region
    - inner circular mm: thickened to form internal anal sphincter
  2. submucosal layer
  3. mucosal layer
22
Q

Plica transversales

A

transverse rectal folds

3 folds: two left, one right

23
Q

rectal columns:

A

mucous membrane overlying submucosal aa. and vv.

24
Q

anal valves

A

archlike folds of mucous membrane connecting caudal ends of rectal columns

25
Q

pectinate line

A

line formed by anal valves and rectal columns
dividing line for :

  1. venous drainage:
    - superior drains to middle and superior rectal vv.
    - inferior drains to inferior rectal vv.
  2. lymphatic drainage:
    - superior to pelvic nodes
    - inferior to inguinal nodes
  3. nerve supply:
    - superior to autonomic nn.
    - inferior to somatic nn.
  4. eptithelial lining
26
Q

pecten

A

stritified squamous non-keritonized

- area immediately below pectinate line

27
Q

anal verge

A

stratified sqamous keritonzsed

- caudal-most portion of anal canal

28
Q

superior rectal a.

A
  • branch from IMA
29
Q

middle rectal a.

A
  • usually branches from internal iliac anterior division
30
Q

inferior rectal aa.

A

from internal pudendal a.

31
Q

what comes off posterior trunk of internal iliac?

A
  1. ilolumbar: supplies psoas/quadratus/iliacus m.
  2. lateral sacral aa.
  3. superior gluteal a.
32
Q

what comes off anterior trunk of internal iliac a. ?

A
umbilical a. 
middle rectal 
inferior rectal
obturator 
internal pudendal a. 
inferior gluteal a. 
uterine and vaginal a. 
vesiculodeferential a.
33
Q

what are two pelvic vessels that don’t arise from internal iliac a?

A
  1. middle sacral a: arises from aorta along anterior surface of sacrum
  2. superior rectal a: branch from IMA
34
Q

what makes up the lumbosacral plexus?

A
  1. lumbar plexus: ventral rami L1-4

2. sacral plexus: ventral rami L4-S3

35
Q

what are five major nerves forming from lumbosacral plexus?

A

Anterior divisions: (supply flexors)

  • obturator n.
  • tibial n.(medial and lateral plantar n)

Posterior divisions:(supply extensors)

  • common fibular n.
  • femoral n.
36
Q

general path of lymphatic drainage?

A
internal iliac nodes →
			external iliac nodes →
				common iliac nodes →
					lumbar nodes →
						cisternachyli →
							thoracic duct
37
Q

lymphatics of urinary bladder?

A

drain to external iliac nodes laterally
internal iliac nodes
sacral and common iliac nodes

38
Q

where do lymphatics of rectum drain?

A

below pectinate line - drain to superficial inguinal
above pectinate line - parallel course of major arteries:

  • from rectal ampulla and sup. anal canal
    along inf. rectal artery to internal iliac nodes
  • from most of rectum via pararectal nodes along middle rectal artery to internal iliac nodes
  • from area of rectosigmoid junction along sup. rectal artery to inf. mesenteric nodes

41
Q

female genitalia lymph drainage?

A
  • drain along ovarian vessle to lumbar nodes
42
Q

where does parietal vs. visceral lymphatic drainage occur?

A
parietal – drain body wall 
		lumbar nodes
visceral – drain GI organs
		inf. mesenteric nodes
		sup. mesenteric nodes
		celiac nodes
