Rectum, bladder and female urethra Flashcards
supravesical fossa
depression superior to the bladder
rectovesical pouch
depression between the rectum and bladder MALES
Uterovesical pouch
depression between the bladder and uterus FEMALES
Rectourterine pouch
depression between the rectum and uterus FEMALES
What are the inferiormost extents of the perineal cavity
Rectovesical pouch (males) and rectourterine pouch (females) - these are the sites where fluid, pus, and blood may collect
at what level do the common illiac arteries bifurcate
L5 and S1
what arteries come from the posterior division of internal iliac artery
Illiolumbar, Lateral Sacral, Superior gluteal
what artery passes between the lumbosacral trunk (L4/L5) and S1 to exit the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen
superior gluteal
what arteries come from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery
Umbilical artery (superior vesical arteries, obliterated part - medial umbilical liagement) Obturator artery, Inferior vesical (MALES), Uterine artery (FEMALES- Vaginal branch and Uterine artery proper) Vaginal artery (FEMALES) Middle rectal, Internal pudendal, and inferior gluteal
the uterine artery passess _____ to the ureter near the lateral edge of the vagina
Superior to the ureter
what female structure is a homolog to the inferiro vesicular artery in males
vaginal artery
what artery passes between S2 and S3 to exit the pelvis vis the greater sciateic foramen inferior to the piriformis
inferior gluteal artery
Middle artery is a branch of
anterior division of the internal iliac artery
Superior rectal is a branch of
IMA
inferior rectal is a branch of
internal pudendal artery (from anterior division of internal iliac artery)
what artery supplies the external genetalia
internal pudendal artery
ovarian arteries are branch of what
abdominal aorta- give rise to ovarian and tubal branches that anastamose with ovarian and tubal branches of the uterine artery proper (from uterine artery from anterior division of the internal iliac)
Testicular arteries
off the abdominal aorta- run in spermatic cord to testes
unpaired artery off the posterior surface of the abominal aorta just superior to the bifurcation
median sacral artery
Terminal branc of IMA
Superior rectal artery
pelvic venous plexus drains mostly to
internal illiac veins
most of the pelvic lymph (except ovarian lymph) is drained to where
internal and external iliac lymph node and ultimately throacic duct
Ovarian lymph is drained where
directly draned to lateral aortic or lumbar nodes
Pelvic lumbar plexus
L1-L4 pass through but do not supply innervation to the true pelvis
Obturator nerve
L2-L4 exists through obturatory canal to supply medial thigh
Lumbosacral Plexus
L4-L5 joins the sacral plexus
Sacral Plexus
L4-S4 mainly supplies lower limb
