Q

Ureter

  • location
  • description ( what does it pass)
  • male/female difference
A

connecting kidneys to urinary bladder

retroperitoneal

passes over pelvic brim and enters lesser pelvis

passes obliquely through urinary bladder wall in an inferomedial direction

Males
- runs inferior to vas deferenc

female
- runs inferior to uterine artery

Q

Bladder orientation

A
  • apex points toward the pubic symphysis
  • fundus just opposite
  • body lies between
  • neck lies at bottom

median umbilical ligamenet (urachus) continues to the umbilicus

supported by lateral ligament (endopelvic fascia)

normally bladder does NOT rise above the pelvic brim when empty but does so when filled

Q

Interior bladder

- components and description

A
  1. detrusor muscle
    - visceral smooth m.
    - lines bladder walls
    - continuous with internal urethral sphincter and ureteric sphincters
  2. ureteric orifices
  3. trigone
  4. internal urethral orifice
  5. internal urethral orifice
  6. prostatic urethra
    - sensory stretch receptors sense when area begins to fill with urine

Q

Male Urethral Sphincters

A
  1. internal urethral sphincter
    - circular fibers continuous with detrusor (smooth m)
  2. external urethral sphincter
    - skeletal fibers
    - located primarily at level of membranous urethra, but extends superiorly and around prostatic urethra
  • same in female- except prostate gland

Q

Urethral Sphincter innervation

A

internal urethral sphincter
- smooth muscle (inferior hypogastric plexus); involuntary

external urethral sphincter
- skeletal muscle (deep perineal branch of pudendal nerve); voluntary override

Q

Male Prostatic Urethra

- layers and components

A

Superficial -> deep

1) Spongy
- bulbourethral
2) membranous
- bulbourethral gland
3) prostatic
- opening ( prostatic ducts, ejaculatory duct, prostatic utricle)
- seminal colliculus
- prostatic sinuses
4) intramural
- urethral crest

16
Q

seminal colliculus

A

enlarge area on the crest onto which open two ejaculatory ducts
- bringing sperm from the vas deferens and fluid from the seminal vesicle

17
Q

prostatic utricle

A

remnants of paramesonephric system

18
Q

prostatic sinuses

A

depressions on either side of the ridge into which prostatic glands open and secrete an alkaline prostatic fluid

19
Q

Prostate

  • size
  • consist of
  • location
A

• Walnut-size prostate surrounds the prostatic urethra.
• 2/3 gland, 1/3 fibromuscular tissue
• Base closely related to the neck of the bladder.
• Apex in contact with fascia on the superior aspect of the urethral sphincter and deep
perineal muscles.
• Prostatic ducts open chiefly into the prostatic sinuses

20
Q

Prostate blood supply

A

branches of inferior vesicle and middle rectal arteries

21
Q

innervation of prostate

A

prostatic plexus from inferior hypogastric plexus

22
Q

Benign Hypertrophy of prostate

  • age
  • describe
  • effect
A

common after middle age
- will affect every male who live long enough

projects into urinary bladder-> impedes urination by distorting the prostatic

common cause of urethral obstruction-> leading to nocturia ( need to void during the night), dysuria ( difficulty and/or pain during urination), and urgency ( sudden desire to void)

increases risk of bladder infections (cystitis) as well as kidney damage

enlargement and tumors detected by digital rectal examination

feels hard and irregular in shape if malignant

23
Q

Vas Deferens Route

A

enter abdomen via inguinal ring-> passes superior to ureter and iliac vessels -> passes superior and medially to ureter, expanding into ampulla before narrowing again and joining the duct of seminal vesicle

24
Q

Seminal Vesicles

- components and describe

A
  1. ampulla of vas deferens
  2. seminal vesicles
  3. ejaculatory duct
  • bilateral, lobulated sacs lying lateral to ampulla of the vas deferens
  • duct of seminal vesicle and vas deferens join on each side to form an ejaculatory duct
  • dual vascular supply: branches of superior and inferior veisicular arteries
25
Q

Innervation of Male reproductive organ

A
  1. Sympathetic fibers
    - from T10-L2 via similar routes as bladder
  2. Parasympathetic fibers
    - from pelvic splanchnic nerves
  3. visceral afferent fibers
    - most travel with parasympathetic fibers to S2-S4
    - exceptions include testis (sympathetic to T10)
26
Q

Lymphatic drainage

A

internal iliac nodes
- vas deferens and inferior portion of seminal vesicles

External iliac node
- scrotal portion of vas deferens

Prostate terminate chiefly in internal iliac lymph nodes with some sacral nodes

bladder-> both external (superiolateral portion) and internal iliac nodes ( fundus and neck)

27
Q

Lymphatic drainage pathway

A

internal iliac and external iliac nodes-> sacral nodes->lumbar nodes

28
Q

Cytoscopy

A
  • endoscopic procedure to check for problems in the bladder
  • recommended if there is blood in urine, repeated infections, unusual cells in urine, or patient exhibits an irritable bladder
  • diagnostic procedure for bladder cancer
