Q

ureter

A

this is the tube that carries urine down to the bladder

  • the renal pelvis dumps into this
  • these enter the inferor posterior aspec of the bladder at an angle

A

this is what the major calices dump into

- it is thicker and is seen in the hilum and then turns into the ureter

Q

bladder

A
  • some photos show this having some brown stuff in the middle
  • it is going to be inferior to the uterus in the female
  • it is going to be superior to the prostate in the male

Q

urethra

A

(in the male)
the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis
- the first portion is called the prostatic uretha which is closest to the bladder
-this portion is going through the prostate
-the second portion is the membranous urethra and that runs from the pelvic floor to the tip of the penis
(in the female)
- positioned anterior to the vagina
- it is much shorter in females than males because it doesn’t go through the penis

-through the bulb and corpus spongiosum

Q

descending aorta

A
  • located medially
  • this has the celiac trunk branching off of it
  • it has the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries
  • it is lateral (and slightly anterior) to the inferior vena cava
  • it will be branch into two at the bottom
19
Q

inferior vena cava

A
  • runs lateral on the right side (persons right not my right) to the decending aorta
  • the renal veins enter on it
  • will look more collapsed than the decending aorta
20
Q

aortic arch

A

this is what branches right out of the heart and then divides into the ascending and descending aorta

21
Q

ascending aorta

A

this is the portion that moves superiorly to feed the upper extremites and head

22
Q

celiac trunk

A
  • branches off the anterior side of the abdominal aorta in the thorax
  • It gives off three major branches called left gastric, common hepatic and splenic arteries.
  • it is the second branch on the descending aorta
23
Q

vesticouterine pouch

A
  • between the uterus and the bladder
  • can be seen in the saggital cross-sectional images
  • it is just a pelvic space
24
Q

rectouterine pouch

A

between the uterus and the rectum

- it is just a pelvic space

25
Q

ovaries

A
  • there are two of them and they are small
  • located bilateral to the uterus
  • right next to the fimbrae of the uterine tube
26
Q

uterine tube

A
  • these carry the egg to the uterus
  • have the fimbrae
  • two of them bilateral to the uterus
27
Q

uterus

A

a muscle that sits clamped in the body

  • thick and muscular
  • superior to the cervix
  • sits superior to the bladder at an angle
28
Q

vagina

A

this is located infererior to the uterus and is right after the cervix portion

  • it has the tube structure coming off of it
  • the external vaginal opening is located more posterior
29
Q

labia majora

A

the outter flabs of the labia surrounding the female external genetalia
-these can grow hair on them

30
Q

labia minora

A
  • just inside the labia majora are these flaps/regions

- these cannot grow hair

31
Q

clitoris

A

this sits most anteriorly of the outside genetalia

-is covered by the prepuse (this is a hood over it and is similar to the foreskin of the male)

32
Q

spermatic cord

A
  • connects the testicles to the abdomen

- contains the ductus (vas) deferens, as well as the testicular artery and pampiniform plexus of veins

33
Q

testicular artery and pampiniform plexus of veins

A

these are contained within the spermatic cord

34
Q

testes

A

oval-shaped organs located in the scrotum, just behind the penis and right in front of the anus on male humans

35
Q

Epididymis

A

tightly-coiled tube connecting rear of the testicles to the ductus deferns
-sits kinda on top of the testis

36
Q

Ductus deferens

A

contained within the spermatic cord

  • carries sperm from the epididymis in the testes to the ejaculatory duct
  • turns into the ampula
  • they enter the body and go up over the bladder and thats where they enter
37
Q

ampula

A

this is when the ductus deferins get larger

-this is near the bladder and before they merge into the ejaculatory duct

38
Q

prostate gland

A

this is inferior to the bladder

-the urethra runs through it

39
Q

penis

A

the erectile organ

40
Q

glans

A

this is the tip of the penis on the head of it

41
Q

External urethral orifice

A

this is located at the tip of the penis, it is the opening

42
Q

Corpus cavernosum

A
  • this is erectile tisse
  • there are two of these that are on the sides of the superior part of the penis
  • this is the lighter tissue
43
Q

Corpus spongiosum

A
  • this is the tissue on the inferior side of the penis
  • the spongy urethra runs through it
  • this is the darker tissue
