Pelvis II Flashcards
Where are sperm produced?
testes
Seminal vesicel
60-70% of seminal fluid produced here
Ejaculatory Ducts
made by convergence of seminal vesicle and ductus dferens
embedded in prostate
Bulborethral glands
inferior to prostate
have their own ducts that enter urethra embedded in prostate
add fluids to seminal fluid as it travels with in urethra
10% of seminal fluid produced here
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
involved 1 or more lobes of prostate
Lobe gets enlarged and impinges urethra
effects sphincter urethra, increasing urgency
TURP
involves resectoscope
can affect external and internal sphicters
can lead to dribbling/incontinces and infertility issues
Median umbilical ligament
rement of urachus
retropubic space
lies behind pubis, anterior to bladder
found in both males and females
retrovesicular space
found between rectum and bladder
only found in men
allows for expansion for bladder and/or rectum
retrorectal space
lies behind rectum
allows for expansion of rectum
Retrovesicular pouch
in males
membranes form in low lying areas where fluid can accumulate
behind bladder
Vesicouterine pouch
between bladder and uterus
retrouterine (pouch of douglas) pouch
between uterus and rectum
more fluid can accumulate here
has anterior muscular wall through which specialized needed can be placed to remove fluid vaginally
superior fluteal a
largest branch
runs between L5 and S1 nerves
Umbilical a
living component still conveys blood
