Q

perineal br of S4

A

cutanous distribution to skin of posterior anal triangle
may contribute to innervation of external sphincter

Q

UG triangle in male

A
anterior portion of perineum
ant-pubis
lat- ischiopubic rami
post- dorsal edge of UG diaphragm 
sup- pubo-coccygeal portion of levator ani m
19
Q

UG diaphragm in male

A

voluntary mm sheet btwn ischiopubic rami
from pubis to ischial tuberosities
does not extend ant to pubis
covered by inf and sup fascial sheaths

20
Q

spinchter urethrae

A

surrounds membranous urethra forms anterior portion of UG diaphragm

21
Q

deep transverse perineal m male

A

forms post portion of UGD

22
Q

anterior gap of UGD

A

filled w/transverse perineal lig

deep dorsal v of penis enters pelvis thru this gap

23
Q

deep perineal space

A

btwn 2 fascial layers
occupied by mm of diaphragm
embedded in diaphragm are bulbourethral glands

24
Q

fascial layers of UGG male

A

superficial perineal fascia aka colles

deep perineal fascia

25
Q

superficial perineal fascia male

A

aka colles
continuation of membranous layer of superficial fascia from abdominal all
forms superficial penile fascia and dartos fascia (scrotum)

26
Q

deep perineal fascia male

A

intimately surrounds cavernous bodies
forms deep penile fascia aka bucks fasica
creates potential space btwn superficial and deep penile fasica

27
Q

corpus spongeiosum

A
aka corpus cavernosum urethra
along midline
adherent to inferior fascia UGD
contains penile urethra 
enlarged at distal end to form glans penis
limited erectile fnx
28
Q

corpora cavernosa

A

form the crura of the penis

arise from ischiopubic rami and adjacent UGD

29
Q

tunica albuginae

A

surrounds each layer of erectile tissue
thick CT which invests each layer separately
along midline CT fuses to form septum of penis

30
Q

fundiform ligament

A

thickening of scarps/colles fascia
arises inferior to linea alba
inserts into superficial fascia (colles) of penis

31
Q

suspensory ligament of the penis

A

triangular band of CT
arises from lower end of linea alba
insets into deep fascia of penis

32
Q

bulbospondiosus male

A

compressor of urethrae

33
Q

ischiocavernosus male

A

erector of penis

34
Q

superficial transverse perineal m

A

borders posterior edge of UGD
originates from ischiopubic rami
inserts into central tendon of perineum

35
Q

UDG female

A

same basic structure as male

split into 2 portions by vagina and urethra

36
Q

central tendon female

A
aka perineal body
larger and more prominent then in males
insertion point for superficial and deep transverse perineal mm
bulbospongiosus m
external anal sphincter
37
Q

erectile tissue females

A

vestibular bulbs
corpora cavernosa
bulbospongiosus
ischiocavernosus

38
Q

vestibular bulbs

A

homolog to corporus spongiosum
lie along the base of labia majora
cover the greater vestibular glands

39
Q

corpora caverrnosa

A

homolog of corpora cavernosa
forms clitoris (homolog of penis)
approximately 1” of erectile tissue buried under prepuce, attaching to PS by suspensory lig of clitoris

40
Q

blublospongiosus females

A

wrap around labia minus

41
Q

ischiocavernosus females

A

from ischopubic rami to pubic arch froming crura of clitoris

42
Q

superficial perineal fascia females

A

same as in males

will continue into the labia majora, interrupted by pudendal cleft

43
Q

female external genitalia

A

mons pubis
labia majora
labia minora

44
Q

nerves of UG triangle

A

brr of perineal br of pudendal:

  • posterior scrotal/labia n
  • deep brr
  • dorsal n of penis/clitoris
