Qs Flashcards
Embryological origin of the bulbourethral glands and where does it open to?
o: UROGENITAL SINUS (with bladder, prostate, urethra); DHT
mucus opens into spongy urethra
lymph drainage of testis vs scrotum
scortum - superficial inguinal
testes - internal iliac
Embryological origin of the round ligament
EMBRYONIC GUBERNACULUM
Fascial support of the uterus
pubocervical ligament
transverse cervical ligament
uterosacral ligament
Which nerve is responsible for the cremasteric reflex?
genitofemoral
ischial tuberosity
Maintains erection of the clitoris
Identify the 3 main supportive fascia in this image
- PUBOCERVICAL LIGAMENT
- TRANSVERSE CERVICAL LIGAMENT
- UTEROSACRAL LIGAMENT
neural supply of seminal vesicles
The parasympathetic nerve supply of the seminal vesicles is derived from the inferior hypogastric plexus. The sympathetic supply is from the superior lumbar and hypogastric nerves.
Inferior gluteal artery
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Sacrotuberous ligament
Fallopian Tube
Describe the elvator ani going outwards, and significant features/shapes
PUBORECTALIS: sling
PUBOCOCCYGEUS: ribbon-like/H-shaped
ILIOCOCCYGEUS: wing-like
Obturator internus

VAS DEFERENS
SEMINAL VESICLE
PROSTATE
Function of seminal vesicle
Secrete alklaline fluid to mix with spermatozoa to pass into ejaculatory duct
Vas deferens - Lumbar and external iliac lymph nodes
Bulbourethral gland - mucus secretion
What nerves are contained in the spermatic cord?
genital branch of genitofemoral
autonomic: hypogastric n.
Mets from testicular cancer will most likely spread to which LN first?
Para-aortic and lumbar LN
