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
