urinary bladder and urethra
urinary bladder needs to be able to undergo
dynamic changes
muscle wall of urinary bladder
detrusor
urinary bladder is what to deal with dynamic changee
distensible
what changes in the urinary bladder with filling
shape
shape change in bladder
pyramidal/tetrahedral to rounded
urinary bladder in context (4)
urethra, neck of bladder, bladder, ureter
what does the ureter run between
bifurcation of common iliac artery
what does the common iliac artery split into
external iliac artery and internal iliac artery
features of the urinary bladder (11)
ureters, fundus, superior suface, infeolateral suface, neck, urethra, ureteic orrifice, median umbilical ligament, apex, trigone, body
what is the position of the fundus (2)
base posterior suface and opposite apex
what is the trigone a component of
bladder neck
what defines the trigone
ureter entry points
how is the trigone different to other bladder surfaces
smoother mucosal surface
what is the bladder neck
transition to urethra
what are the fibrous ligaments at the bladder neck (2)
pubovesical ligament and puboprostatic ligament
what can’t the fibrous ligaments of the bladder neck do
constrain distensible aspect
what can a distended bladder do to other organs
compress
what can put pressure on the bladder
pregnancy
what is posterior and inferior to the pubovesical ligament
vaginal opening in the deep perineal pouch and perineal membrane
the puboprostatic ligament has fibres to the
prostate
what are the names for where the ureters enter the bladder (2)
uertovesical junction or vesicoureteruc junction
what is the uretovesical junction not
true anatomical sphincter
feature of the uretovesical junction (2)
angled and surrounded by distensor muscle
the distensor muscle around the uretovesical junction does what
obstructs flow (particularly in voiding)
what is it called where the urethra begins
internal urethral orifice
what contributes to storage and continence during ejaculation (3)
bladder neck, urethra, internal urethral sphincter
what does continence prevent
