Reminders Flashcards
What do the bulbourethral glands produce?
What do seminal vesicles produce?
What do prostate produce?
Bulbourethral gland - alkalinic pre-ejaculate
Seminal vesicles - fructose (70% of the fluid)
Prostatic fluid- alkalinic, milky fluid
All mix in the urethra.
Uterine prolapse - what two ligaments are responsible for it?
Protrusion of cervix of uterus into lower vagina caused by weakness of muscles, ligaments, and fascia of the pelvic floor, such as the pelvic diaphragm, urogenial diaphragm, and ligaments of the uterus).
Uterosacral & Transverse cervical
Pubocervical ligament
Runs from pubic symphysis to cervix; prevents bladder herniation into the anterior wall of the vagina (rectocele)
Posterior scrotum and posterior labia gets innervated by___?
pudendal nerve
Anterior scrotum and anterior labia majus is innervated
ilioinguinal
superior hypogastric plexus is anterior to
Lumbosacral joint
Superior hypogastric plexus is made of what type of fibers
sympathetic
Inferior hypogastric plexus is made of what type of fibers?
Mix of parasympathetic, sympathetic, and visceral afferent plexus
Seminal vesicles are innervated by sympathetic nervous system via what plexus?
Inferior hypogastric pelxus
Where do you often get infra-aortic aneurysms?
Right below the renal arteries
Why do you often get emboli at the SMA?
It takes off at a steep angle
In a kidney donation, which pole would you sacrifice- superior or inferior? Why?
Inferior because it feeds the pelvis & ureters
In a kidney donation, it’s easy to accidentally cut into the hilar lymph nodes because they so closely follow the arteries. What do you do to the patient’s diet when they have a lymph leak?
Put them on a low fat diet because lymph is high in fat –> limit inflow
Kidney refers pain to the
Back
Renal agenesis vs Dysplastic kidney
Renal agenesis - no ureteric bud, no kidney
Dysplastic kidney - incomplete ureteric bud,
Openings in diaphragm and approx vertebral level
IVC: T8
Esophageal hiatus: T10
Aortic Hiatus: T12
Why is the round ligament (+ovarian ligament) considered the remnant of the gubernaculum in women?
It anchors the ovary+uterus to the labia major the same way that the remnant of the gubernaculum in men (scrotal ligament) anchors the testes to the scrotum.
Cystoceles (bladder prolapse into vagina) result from a defect in what?
Tendinous arch of fascia pelvis or pubocervical fascia
Tendinous arch of fascia pelvis: Dense band of connective tissue connecting levator ani fascia to the pubocervical fascia (covers anterior wall of vagina).
Important to urinary continence.
Primitive gonad is called the
gonadal blastema (formed when primordial germ cells migrate to the dorsal mesentery, enter the embryo proper, form the gonadal ridge, and form the sex cords)
anterior recess of ischioanal fossa is innervated by what branch of pudendal?
perineal nerve
anal canal and skin of anus is innervated by what branch of pudendal?
inferior rectal
