Perineum Flashcards
Boundaries of perineum
coccyx
IT
pubis
THe anal canal is divided into upper and lower halves by what?
pectinate line
Upper half of anal canal
derived from hindgut endoderm
lined by columnar epithelium
contains anal columnes
innervated by autonomics
Arteries of upper anal canal
superior rectal (off IMA) middle rectal (off internal iliac)
vein of upper anal canal
superior rectal (drains into IMV)
lymphatics of upper anal canal
travel superiorly to inferior mesenteric nodes
lower half of anal canal
dervied from extoderm of proctoderm
lined by stratifed squamous epithelium
somatic innervation
arteries of lower anal canal
inferior rectal
vein of lower anal canal
inferior rectal
lymphatics of lower anal canal
travel inferiorly to superficial inguinal nodes
Internal anal sphnicter
smooth muscle
thickening of inner circular muscular at proximal end
involuntary
external anal sphicter
skeletal muscle
coluntary
innervated by inferior rectal
ischiorectal fossa
fat filled spaces lateral to anal canal
boundaries of ischiorectal fossa
skin levator ani obturator internus sacrotuberous and sacrospinus ligaments deep transverse perineal muscles
contests of ischiorectal fossa
fat and connective tissue
pudendal canal
pudendal canal
fascial canal on lateral wall of fossa
contents of pudendal canal
pudendal nerve
internal pudenal a
internal pudenal v
pudendal n
exits pelvis via greater sciatic formane
enters perineum via lesser sciatic formation
branches of pudendal nerve
inferior rectal
dorsal nerve of penis of clitoris
perineal nerves
branches of internal pudenal a
inferior rectal
branches of penis or labia and clitoris
Superficial fascia (fatty layer) of urogenital triangle
continues with ischorectal fat
inabdomen called camper’s fascia
superficial fascia (fatty layer) of urogenital triangle in males
diminished fat in scrotum and penis
replaced by dartos muscle in skin of scrotum
superficial fascia (fatty layer) of urogenital triangle in females
makes up substances of fat in mons pubis and lavia majora
superficial fascia (membranous layer) (colles) of urogenital triangle
in abdomin called scarpa’s fascia
forms tuular sheath around penis and clitoris
superficial fascia (membranous layer) (colles) of urogenital triangle in males
attached to dartos muscle in scrotum
deep fascia of urogenital triangle
envelops muscles of peritnum
fused to suspensory ligament of penis or clitoris
in adbomen continous with fascia of external abdominal olbique and rectus sheath
continous with deep penile fascia (buck’s fasa)
male superficial perineal pouch
potential space between membranous/.colles fascia and perineal membrane
male deep perineal pouch
space between superior fascia of urogintal diagphram and perineal membrane (inferior fascia of UG diagphram)
easily ruptured
Contents of scrotum
testes
epididymis
spermatic cord
