Pelvis Flashcards
The promontory and ala of the sacrum, the arcuate line of the ilium, and the superior ramus of the pubis make up the
pelvic inlet
The pubic arch, ischial tuberosities, sacrotuberous ligament, and tip of coccyx make up the
pelvic outlet
The area between the iliac crests and the pelvic inlet makes up the
false/lesser pelvis
The area between the pelvic inlet and pelvic outlet makes up the
true/greater pelvis
The pelvic floor/diaphragm is made up by the
levator ani m.
The area inferior to the pelvic diaphragm is the
perineum
Gonads of male and female embryos are similar for the first __ days after fertilization
40
The ____ has the sex-determining region
Y chromosome
The sex-determining region of the Y chromosome produces
testis-determining factor
The TDF causes the differentiation of the gonads into ___, and must be present for this to happen
testes
After production of TDF has created formation of the testes, the gonads begin to produce ____ and ___, both of which are necessary for the male system to develop fully and correctly
testosterone and Mullerian inhibiting factor
MIF causes degradation of the
Mullerian duct
Production of testosterone causes the Wolfian ducts to become the ____, ____, ____, and also develops the prostate, penis, and scrotum
epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct
The ____, _____, and ____ are the same in males and females during the first 6 weeks of development
genital tubercle, urethral fold, and labioscrotal swelling
The genital tubercle becomes the ___ in males and the ___ in females
glans of penis; glans of clitoris
The urethral folds becomes the ____ and ____ in males, and ____ and ____ in females
corpus spongiosum of penis and raphe of penis and scrotum; labia minora and bulbs of vestibule
The labioscrotal swelling becomes the ___ and ____ in males and the ____ and ____ in females
scrotum and corpus cavernosum of penis; labia majora and corpus cavernosum of clitoris
The right and left labioscrotal swellings fuse together to form the
scrotum
The midline ridge of the scrotum is the
scrotal raphe
This attaches into the skin of the scrotum and helps to pull testes closer to body in cold environment
dartos muscle
When the testes descend (~7-9mo gestationally) they take parts of the abdominal layers with them–the internal oblique forms the ____, the transversalis fascia forms the ____, and the tunica vaginalis from the peritoneum makes the ___
cremaster muscle and cremasteric fascia; internal spermatic fascia; fascia around the testes
The spermatic cord contains the ___, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, and _____
ductus deferens, testicular artery, pampiniform venous plexus, genital branch of genitofemoral n, ilioinguinal n, sympathetic parasympathetic and visceral afferent nerves, and lymphatics
Within the testes are the ____
seminiferous tubules
The ___ make sperm
seminiferous tubules
The tail of the epididymis becomes the
ductus deferens
Within the walls of the seminiferous tubules are the
Sertoli cells
Between the Sertoli cells are ____ to prevent diffusion between
tight junctions
The Leydig cells make
testosterone
The root of the penis is made up of ___, _____, and what 2 muscle types
bulb and right and left crura; corpus spongiosum and cavernosum
The part of the urethra in the neck of urinary bladder
intramural
The part of the urethra within the prostate
prostatic
The part of the urethra surrounded by the external urethral sphincter
membranous
The part of the urethra in the bulb and penis into the glans
spongy
Route of sperm
Seminal vesicle–> rete testis–> efferent ductules–> epididymis–> ductus deferens–> ejaculatory duct–> prostatic urethra–> membranous urethra–> spongy urethra–> external environment
The seminal vesicles are located ____ and produce ___
posterior to urinary bladder; seminal fluid
The prostate surrounds the ____ and produces ____
prostatic urethra; prostatic fluid
The bulbourethral glands are located ____ and produce ___
lateral to the membranous urethra; pre-ejaculate
The prostatic ducts empty into
prostatic urethra
The bulbourethral ducts empty into
spongy urethra
The ejaculatory ducts travel through the ___ carrying ____ and empty into the ____
prostate; sperm and seminal fluid; prostatic urethra
The external urethral sphincter is ____ muscle
skeletal
The internal urethral sphincter is around the ____ in order to close off the urinary bladder during emission
intramural urethra
The perineum contains the ___triangle, made up by the external genitalia and urethra, and ___ triangle, around the anus
urogenital; anal
The bulbospongiosus, external anal sphincter, and superficial transverse perineal make up the
perineal body
The muscle around bulb of penis and corpus spongiosum
male bulbospongiosus
The ____ innervates the male bulbospongiosus muscle to aid in urination or ejaculation, as well as constriction of veins in the penis and compression of blood from the bulb of the penis into the body of the penis during erection
deep branch of perineal nerve
The muscle around the crura and corpus cavernosum of the penis
male ischiocavernosus
The ____ innervates the male ischiocavernosus muscle to aid in erection
deep branch of perineal nerve
