Pelvic Vasculature and Genitalia Flashcards
Abdominal aorta bifurcates where into what
L4
Right and left common iliac artery
Common iliac bifurcates where into what
Pelvic brim
Internal and external iliac
External iliac runs
Under inguinal ligament to become femoral artery
Internal iliac runs
Into the true pelvis and becomes posterior and anterior
Anterior branches of internal iliac artery
Umbilical artery Obturator artery Inferior gluteal Internal pudendal Visceral All parietal but visceral
Posterior branches of internal iliac artery
Iliolumbar
Lateral sacral
Superior gluteal
All parietal
Umbilical artery
Becomes occluded in adult as medial umbilical ligament
May give rise to superior vesicle artery and uterine artery
Obturator artery runs and supplies
Leaves with obturator nerve and vein through obturator canal
Supplies iliacus muscle and other in lower limb
Inferior gluteal artery runs
Terminal branch
Passes through greater sciatic foramen
Internal pudendal artery supplies
Main artery of perineum
Superior vesicle artery supplies
Supplies superior part of bladder
Inferior vesicle artery supplies
Supplies inferior part of bladder, prostate, and seminal vesicles
Uterine artery runs, supplies
Cross ureter and passes with cardinal ligament (transverse cervical) to reach the uterus
Supplies uterus and anastomoses with overian artery
Vaginal artery supplies
Superior region of vagina
Middle rectal artery supplies
Supplies rectum
Anastomoses with superior and inferior rectal
Iliolumbar artery supplies
Iliacus and psoas muscles
Lateral sacral artery supplies
Spinal branches entering anterior sacral foramina
Superior gluteal artery runs
Between lumbosacral trunk and S1
Exits pelvis through greater foramen
Each pelvic organ in true pelvis surrounded by
Plexus of veins that drain into internal iliac vein to reach IVC
Exception to plexuses of true pelvis
Superior mesenteric vein follower superior rectal artery to hepatic portal vein
Pelvic venous plexus clinical consideration
Easy spread of disease from pelvis to vertebral column
Pevlic communicate with external and internal vertebral plexus
Sacral plexus exits through and innervates
L4-S4
Anterior sacral foramen
Pelvis, perineum, posterior thigh, most of lower leg, all of foot
Lumbosacral trunk and where it runs
L4/5 as they run over pelvic brim into true pelvis
Pudendal nerve arises from and innervates
Arises from S2-S4
Perineum
Coccygeal plexus innervates
Area around coccyx and anus
Where is aortic plexus renamed and to what
L4/5
Superior hypogastric plexus
Where is superior hypogastric plexus renamed and to what
True pelvis
Inferior hypogastric plexus (pelvic plexuses)
Below L2, there are only ______ communicans
Grey rami communcans
Sacral splanchnics
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers that join hypogastric plexus for distribution
Pevlic splanchnics and where they exit into true pevlis
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from S2-S4
Descend with cauda equina - anterior sacral foramen
Also join hypogastric plexi
Organs of pelvis initally drained by
Visceral nodes
Parietal nodes of pelvis and where they go
Internal iliac, external iliac, common iliac
To aortic nodes to cisterna chyli to thoracic duct
Genetalia located in the
Urogenital triangle
Bucks’s fascia
Deep connective tissue of the penis
Tuncia albugina
Tough CT capsule of penis
Lateral masses of penis
Corpus cavernosa
