REPRO Flashcards
The Right testes and ovary drain into the Right Gonadal vein which goes to?
directly to ICV
the Left testes / ovary drain to Left gonadal vein then to?
LEFT RENAL VEIN
why are varicoceles more common on left?
bc the left gonadal vein is longer and has the make the 90 degree turn at the the Renal vein it has higher pressure.
is enlarged pampinoform plexus n
where does most of the blood supply to the pelvic region come from ?
whats the exception?
branch off the INTERNAL iliac arteries
and the exception
the .gonadal arteries off the aorta
where do the ovaries and testes
lymphatics drain to
para-aortic nodes
what lymphatics do the
body of uterues, cervix, superior bladder )
drain to
external iliacs
the prostate/ cervix / corpus cavernosum / proximal upper 2/3 vagina
lymphatic drain to
internal iliaic nodes
(hypogastric nodes)
distal vagina
vulva
scrotum*
distal anus
lymphatics tdrain into
Superficial inguinal nodes
where does the glans of the penis lymphatics drain to
deep inguinal nodes
what hernia
is more common in children.
due to failure of processsus vaginalis to close
which can also cause?
INDIRECT
can form hydrocele
what hernia occurs lateral tot epigastric vessels and goes into the inguinal ring into scrotum
indirect
what herniation goes through the inguinal (hesselbach traingle).
medial to inferior epigastric vessels
direct
what hernia is due to acquired weakness in transversalis fascia?
who gets this hernia
direct
common in older males
what makes up the hesselbachs triangle
inferior epigastric vessels (lateral)
inguinal ligment
lateral border of rectur abdominus (medial)
which hernia is more common in women?
femoral
what hernia
protrudes BELOW inguinal ligament
through the femoral canal below and lateral to pubic tubercle
femoral hernia
which hernia is more likely to present with
incarceration (irreducible hernia)
or strangulation ( contents of hernia undergo necrosis)
femoral hernia
what does the paramesonephric (Mullerian) duct form
fallopian tubes
uterus
UPPER portion of vagina.
(the lower part of vag is from the urogenital sinus)
what forms the lower vagina
urogenital sinus –> sinovaginal bulbs –> lower vag.
what does the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct
not form.
Seminal vesicles
Epididnmis
Ejaculatory duct
Ductus deferens
Prostate
it does not form the prostate
what can
leydig cell hypoplasia (leydig cell agenesis) cause?
no development of mesonephric duct.
bc cant respond to LH thus no testosterone thus no mesonephric duct thus no (SEED) structures
what does the paramesonephric mullerian duct form in a male.
what does the mesonephric wolffian duct form in a female
male - remnant is appendix testis
female: gartner duct
what do sertoli cells secrete
inhibiin B that inhibits FSH
androgen-binding protein –> maintain local levels of testosterone.
MIF
sertoli cells form tight junctions that forms blood testis barrier that functions to
isolate gametes from autoimmune attack
