Q

The uterus is further supported by the

A

Round ligament, transverse cervical ligament, and uterosacral ligaments

34
Q

Provide a passageway for ovulated eggs to reach the uterus

A

Uterine tubes

35
Q

The most distal portion of the uterine tubes, which opens into the peritoneal cavity

A

Infundibulum

36
Q

Fertilization typically takes place in the

A

Ampulla of the uterine tubes

37
Q

In females, there is a communication between the external environment and the peritoneal cavity that begins with the opening of the vagina in the vestibule and ends with the opening of the uterine tubes in the

A

Peritoneal cavity

38
Q

This provides a pathway for microbes like gonnorrhea and chlamydia to cause

A

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

39
Q

These infection can cause scarring and a resultant blockage of the

A

Uterine tubes

40
Q

What is done when the patency of the uterine tubes is in question?

A

Hysterosalpingography

41
Q

Located against the posterolateral wall of the pelvis

A

Female gonads

42
Q

What are the two ligaments of note that are associated with the female gonads?

A
  1. ) Proper ovarian ligament

2. ) Suspensory ligament of the ovary

43
Q

Attatches the ovary to the uterus and a remnant of a caudal genital ligament (gubernaculum testes in the male)

A

Proper ovarian ligament

44
Q

A fold of peritoneum elevated by the ovarian artery and veins

A

Suspensory ligament of the ovary

45
Q

Extends between the sigmoid colon (S3) and the beginning of the anal canal at the pelvic floor

A

Rectum

46
Q

The inferior portion of the rectum becomes dilated, forming the

-Where feces are stored prior to defecation

A

Rectal ampulla

47
Q

Palpable through the rectum anteriorly

A

Cervix

48
Q

Extends off the anterior abdominal wall to cover the superior surface of the bladder

A

Parietal peritoneum

49
Q

Reflects onto the anterior surface of the uterus and covers the posterior surface of the uterus and part of the posterior fornix of the vagina

A

Parietal peritoneum

50
Q

The parietal peritoneum then reflects onto the anterior surface of the

A

Rectum

51
Q

These reflections of the parietal peritoneum generate which two pouches or spaces?

A
  1. ) Vesicouterine

2. ) Rectouterine

52
Q

Located between the bladder and uterus

A

Vesicouterine pouch

53
Q

Located between the uterus and rectum

A

Rectouterine pouch

54
Q

Significant in that it is the inferior extend of the peritoneal cavity

A

Rectouterine pouch

55
Q

The peritoneum which drapes over the uterus, uterine tubes, and ovaries is called the

A

Broad ligament

56
Q

The PROXIMAL 1/3 of the rectum is covered anteriorly and laterally by

A

Peritoneum

57
Q

The middle 1/3 ANTERIORLY and DISTAL 1/3 of the rectum is

A

Subperitoneal

58
Q

Located between the neck of the bladder and the urogenital hiatus in males

A

Prostate

59
Q

The prostate consists of smooth muscle, connective tissue, and glandular cells responsible for producing

A

Prostatic fluid

60
Q

The prostate contains the prostatic urethra and receies the ejaculatory ducts from the

A

Ductus deferens and seminal vesicles

61
Q

The prostate is divided clinically into which three zones?

A
  1. ) Transitional
  2. ) Central
  3. ) Peripheral
62
Q

Surrounds the prostatic urethra

A

Transitional prostate

63
Q

Surrounds the ejaculatory ducts of the prostate

A

Central prostate

64
Q

Peripheral to and encircling the central and transitional zones

A

Peripheral prostate

65
Q

Enlargement of the prostate is common in men over

-Can be either benign or malignant

A

50

66
Q

Primarily involves the transitional zone and is characterized by difficulty in urinating and an increased urination frequency

A

Benign prostatic Hyperplasia (BHP)

67
Q

Malignant tumors of the prostate preferentially involve the

A

Peripheral zones

68
Q

An enlarged portion of the ductus deferens as it approaches the prostate

A

Ampulla of the ductus deferens

69
Q

Stores sperm prior to emission

A

Ampulla of the ductus deferens

70
Q

The ampulla of the ductus deferens forms the ejaculatory duct with the

A

Seminal vesicle

71
Q

Lie immediately lateral to the ampulla of the ductus deferens

-Provide seminal fluid and help nourish sperm

A

Seminal Vesicle

72
Q

The duct from the seminal vesicle unites with the duct from the ductus deferens to form the

A

Ejaculatory duct

73
Q

Opens into the prostatic urethra posteriorly

A

Ejaculatory duct

74
Q

In males, the parietal peritoneum of the anterior abdominal wall reflects onto the

A

Superior surface of the bladder (posteriorly) and then onto anterior surface of rectum

75
Q

This creates a single peritoneal pouch in the male called the

A

Rectovesical pouch

76
Q

Pelvic branches are supplied primarily with arterial blood from branches of the

A

Internal iliac artery

77
Q

Venous return from the pelvic region are to branches of the

A

Internal iliac vein

78
Q

Gives branches to the pelvic and perineal viscera as well as the lower limb

A

Internal iliac artery

79
Q

The ovarian artery is a branch of the

A

Abdominal Aorta

80
Q

The uterine artery has a clinically important relationship with the ureter. What is it?

A

Ureter crosses INFERIOR to the uterine artery

81
Q

Lymphatic rainage of the pelvic viscera follows blood vessels primarily to the

A

Internal iliac lymph nodes

82
Q

However, lymphatic drainage of the ovaries following the ovarian vessels would drain into the

A

Aortic lymph nodes
