pelvis Flashcards
layers of abdomen forming inguinal canal
peritoneum -> transversus abdominis -> internal oblique -> external oblique
deep and superficial inguinal rings
deep = outpouching of transversalis fascia
superficial = extension of external oblique
what guides the testes during descent
gubernaculum
structure of pelvis
ilium, pubis, ischium, sacrum, coccyx
main middle hole = pelvic inlet = lesser (false) pelvis
greater pelvis = ilium/pubis
borders of perineum
anterior - pubic symphesis
posterior - coccyx
pelvic floor
blood supply and innervation of lesser pelvis
pudendal artery
pudendal nerve
structure of penis
root -> body -> glans
muscles of penis
bulbospongeosum x 2 = contract to empty urethra
ischiocavernosus x 2 = contract to force blood into crura
erectile tissues of penis
crura x 2 = corpus cavernosa
bulb = corpus spongeosum
contents of spermatic cord
(1) ductus deferens
(2) cremaster muscle
(3) external spermatic artery
internal spermatic artery + arteria ductus deferentis
(4) spermatic nerve
(5) lymph of the spermatic cord
(6) fascia
buck’s fascia
holds erectile tissues together
ileolingual nerve
sensory innervation of genetalia
prepuce
foreskin - double layer of skin and fascia
frenulum
connects prepuce to glans
arterial supply to penis
branches of internal pudendal artery
dorsal arteries
deep arteries
bulbourethral artery
where are the testes, anatomically?
in the scrotum, suspended by spermatic cord
located on posterior abdominal wall
structure of testes
tunica vaginalis (outer layer)
epididymis
testes
lobules containing seminiferous tubules lined with
innervation, blood supply and drainage of testes
i - testicular plexus
a - testicular arteries and cremastic artery
v - pampiform plexus
dartos muscle
thin muscle sheet under skin of scrotum to regulate temperature by wrinkling skin
cremastor muscles
muscle of spermatic cord to raise testicles and move testes closer to central body
neurovascular supply to scrotum
anterior and posterior scrotal arteries
scrotal veins
anterior - genitofemoral nerve branch and iliolinguinal nerve
posterior - perineal branches of pudendal nerve
