Q

What foramen in the pelvis does the piriformis pass through?

Q

In males the muscle of the bladders neck is continuous with what structure

A

Infundibulum

22
Q

This is known as the isthmus

24
Q

This is the short segment of the uterine tube found within the uterine wall

This is known as the uterine part of the uterine tube.

25
Q

The broad ligament is the mesentery of the uterus and has many subdivisions. What are the subdivisions.

The suspensory Ligament
The mesovarium
The Mesosalpinx
And the mesometrium

26
Q

The suspensory ligament accomplishes what job?

A

Coneys ovarian vessels, lymphatics, and nerve.

27
Q

The mesovarium accomplishes what job?

A

The mesovarium suspends the ovary.

28
Q

The mesosalpinx accomplishes what job?

A

Suspends the uterine tube

29
Q

The Mesometrium accomplishes what job?

A

The mesometrium suspends most of the uterus.

30
Q

A

The vagina is located posterior to the urethra and bladder and anterior to the rectum.

32
Q

What is the innervation of the vagina?

A

Th upper 3/4 is autonomically controlled where as the lower 1/4 is somatically controlled and innervated by the deep perineal branch of the pudendal.

33
Q

When the ductus deferens joins the seminal vesicle what does it become?

A

The ejaculatory duct which converges upon the seminal colliculus of the prostatic urethra.

34
Q

What components make up semen?

A

Semen is a mixture of secretions by the testes, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands.

35
Q
