Pelvic visera and pernieum notes Flashcards
what organs are retroperitoneal
Kidneys
Ureters
Pancreas (most of it)
Duodenum (part of it)
Ascending colon (not visible)
Descending colon (not visible)
Rectum
what makes up the pelvic diaphragm
levator ani and left coccygeus
tendinous arch
passes along the obturator internis, and the ischial spine
The muscles of the pelvic diaphragm are innervated by the
pudendal nerve
what does the rectum connect
sigmoid colon to anal canal
arterial supply of the rectum comes from
superior rectal artery (the terminal branch of the inferior mesenteric artery) and the middle rectal arteries (small branches of the internal iliac arteries).
The mucosa of the upper half of the anal canal has 6-10 vertical folds called
anal columns that contain the terminal branches of the superior rectal veins, called the hemorrhoidal veins.
The lower ends of the anal columns are joined by small transverse folds of mucous membrane called
anal valves
pectinate line
divides upper 2/3 and lower third of anal canal
The external anal sphincter is made of
skeletal muscle and is continuous with fibers of the levator ani
The internal anal sphincter is
a thickening of the circular smooth muscle of the rectum
is not under voluntary control and is innervated by the autonomic nervous system
The arterial supply to the anal canal comes from the
middle and inferior rectal arteries (which are branches of the internal pudendal arteries).
male reproductive structures
The Ductus Deferens, the Seminal Vesicle, and the Ejaculatory Duct.
the body of the penis is composed of
2 corpora covernosa and 1 corpus spongiosum
what travels through corpus spongiosum
spongy urethra
what pair of arteries supply the erectile tissue of penis
dorsal and deep arteries
the deep and dorsal arteries of the penis are branches ofq
internal pudenal artery
what is continuous with the corpa cavernose
two crura
what is continuous with the corpus spongiosum
a bulb
what are the crura of the penis
tubes of dense connective tissue that are filled with erectile tissue (a specialized tissue that consists primarily of blood vessels).
The two crura and bulb of the penis are covered by striated muscles. Those surrounding the crura are called the
ischiocavernousus muscles
he muscle surrounding the bulb is called the
bulbosponiosus
ischiocavernosus and bulbospongiosus contract to
prevent venous blood from draining out of the erectile tissue and facilitate the erection
what contributes to the ejactulation and expulsion of urine form the urethra
bulbocavernosis
muscle that runs from the ischiopubic ramus on one side to the ischiopubic ramus of the other side
urogenital diapgraphm
. The bulk of the urogenital diaphragm is formed by the
sphincter urethrae muscle
membranous urethra
the part of the urethra that passes through the sphincter urethrae
deep dorsal vein of the penis
passes between the urogenital diaphragm and the pubic symphysis to enter the body of the penis
