ischiocavernosus muscles

40
Q

bulbospongiosus muscles in males

A

paired muscles
attached via median tendinous raphe
cover bulb of penis
compress bulb when contracted

41
Q

What does bulbospongiosus aid with by compressing bulb

A

empty spongy urethra of residual urine/semen

erection

42
Q

ischiocavernosus muscles in males

A

paired muscles

cover right and left crura

43
Q

how does ischiocavernosus muscles help with erection

A

compression of crura and retarding venous return

44
Q

superficial transverse perineal muscles

arise from IT
insert into perineal body
fix the perineal body

45

Q

external sphincter urethrae

A

muscle surround membranous urethra
voluntary
innervated by perineal branch of pudendal n

49
Q

bulborectal glands

A

ducts extend into superficial perineal pouch to enter spongy urethra
produce a few drops that cleanse urethra and provide lubricating fluids for sexual activity

50
Q

deep transverse perineal muscle

A

posterior to sphicter urethrae

extends from ischial rami to perineal body

51
Q

dorsal nerve of penis

from pudendal n

supplies skin of penis and glands penis

branches internal pudendal a to the penis

A

deep a of penis

helicine branches

53

cover clitoris

assist in erection of clitoris

64
Q

greater vesticular glands

A

open into vestibule, posterolateral to vaginal opening

secreting lubricating mucus during sexual acitvity

65
Q

lesser vestibular glands

A

corresponds to prostate
open into vestibule, lateral to urethral orfice
secrete mucus into vesticule for distribution to labia and vestibule

66
Q

phimosis

A

foreskin can’t fully be retracted

can cause difficulity urinating and sex

67
Q

pudendal nerve blood

A

used during childbirth and vaginal sx

68
Q

internal urethral sphincter

A

only in males
smooth muscle at neck of bladder
prevents retrograde ejaculation into bladder
sympathetic

69
Q

external urethral sphincter

A

striated muscle, voluntary

prevents incontinence

70
Q

erection

A

parasymphatetic
pelic splanic nerves (S2-S4)
dilate helicine a, fill cavernous tissues w/ blood
bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus muscles help by compressing venous plesux

71
Q

emission

A

sympathetic (L1-L2)
move semen to prostatic urethra
peristalisis of ductus defens and seminal vesicles
prostatic contraction adds prostatic fluid
involves glands

72
Q

Glands involved in emission

A

seminal vesicles
prostate
bulbourethral gland

73
Q
