Bulb of penis/vestibular bulbs 
Ischicavernosus m
Bulbospongiosus m 
Greater vestibular gland m (females)
Superficial transverse perineal muscle
17
Q

Perineal body…attachment points for

A
Mass of tissue in btween ischial tuberosities
Levaotr ani
Deep perineal membrane
Bulbospongiosus membrane
External anal sphincter
18
Q

Tears of perineal body lead to

A

Compromise structure of pelvis/perineum…prolapse of organs and urinary incontinence

19
Q

Scarpas fascia

A

Abdominal region

20
Q

Dartos fascia

A

Region of scrotum and penis (no superficial fatty fascia here)

21
Q

Colles fascia

A

Region of urogenital triangle (superficial fatty has disappeared)

22
Q

Exceptions to fascial cleft between superficial and deep fascia

A

Scarpas fascia will fuse to fascia lata

Lateral and posterior edge of Colles will fuse to perineal membrane

23
Q

What does Colles connection to perineal result in?

A

No communication between deep pouch and anal trinalge

24
Q

Anal canal divides anal triangle into

A

Ischioanal fossae

25
Q

Boundaries of anal trinalge

A

Superior and medial - sloping of levator ani (pelvic diaphragm)
Lateral - Obturator internus (important)
Posterior - skin

26
Q

Pudendal (Alcock’s) canal formed by ____ and contains ____

A

Obturator fascia

Internal pudendal artery, vein, and pudendal nerve

27
Q

What emerges from pudendal canal

A

Inferior rectal arteries and nerves

28
Q

When does rectum end?

A

When puborectalis encircles it

29
Q

Internal anal sphincter composed of

A

Thickened continuation of inner circular layer of smooth muscle from retum

30
Q

External sphincter composed of

A

Skeletal muscle

31
Q

Anocyccygeal rphe

A

Attaches external sphincter to coccyx

32
Q

Anal columns and sinuses

A

Folds and recesses between columns of anal canal

Mucous membrane

33
Q

Anal valves

A

Join anal columns at inferior ends

34
Q

Anal crypts and why significant?

A

Spaces behind anal valve

Focal point for infection…can lead to ischioanal fossa fistula

35
Q

Pectinate line formed from

A

Lower margins of anal valves

36
Q

Arterial supply above and below pec line

A

above - inferior mesenteric by superior rectal arteries

Below - internal pudendal by inferior rectal arteries

37
Q

Venous drainage change at pec line

A

Above - hepatic portal vein by superior rectal vein

Below - caval system by inferior rectal veins

38
Q

Lymphatic drainage change at pec line

A

Above - internal iliac lymph nodes (deep)

Below - inguinal lymph nodes (superficial)

39
Q

Innervation change at pec line

A

Above - autonomic fibers (poor localization)

Below - Pudendal nerve (precise localization)
