Repro - Anatomy Flashcards
Why is left venous pressure > right venous pressure of the left spermatic vein?
Drains into the renal artery at 90 angle
Varicocele - more common on the right or left?
Left
Lymphatic drainage of ovaries/testis
Para-aortic nodes
Lymphatic drainage of the distal 1/3 vagina/vulva/scrotum
superficial inguinal lymph nodes
Lymphatic drainage of the proximal 2/3 of vagina/uterus
obturator, external iliac and hypogastric nodes
This ligament connects ovaries to lateral pelvic wall
Suspensory ligament of the ovaries
Contains ovarian vessels (ovarian artery and vein)
Suspensory ligament of the ovaries
The __________ is at greatest risk of injury during ligation of the ovarian vessels in oophorectomy (removal of ovary)
Ureter
This ligament connects cervix to the side wall of pelvis
Cardinal ligament
This ligament contains the uterine vessels
Cardinal ligament
The ________ is at greatest risk for injury during ligation of the uterine vessels in a hysterectomy
Ureter
This ligament connects the uterine fundus to the labia majora
Round ligament of the uterus
This ligament contains the artery of Sampson
Round ligament of uterus
This ligament travels through the round inguinal canal
Round ligament of the uterus
This ligament connects the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to the pelvis side wall
Broad ligament
Mesosalpinx, mesometrium, and mesovarium are all components of the __________________
broad ligament
This ligament connects the medial pole of the ovary to the lateral uterus
Ligament of the ovary
Bowel protrudes through weak point into the superficial inguinal ring
Direct hernia, acquired
Bowel protrudes through the deep inguinal ring due to an incomplete closure of the patent processus vaginalis OR imcomplete closure of the inguinal canal
Indirect hernia, congenital
Mesenchymal thickening around testes
Tunica albuginea
Nerve for erection
Pelvic (Parasympathetic -> NO -> cGMP)
Nerve for emission
Sympathetic, hypogastric
Nerve for ejaculation
Sympathetic, pudendal
Secrete inhibin - inhibit FSH
Sertoli cells
Secrete androgen-binding protein (ABP) to maintain local levels of testosterone
Sertoli cells
The blood-testis barrier formed by tight junctions between Sertoli cells isolates gametes from ____________
autoimmune attack
Produces anti-mullerian hormone
Sertoli cells
Temperature sensitive, decrease sperm production and decrease inhibin with increase in temperature
Sertoli cells
Increase/decrease in temperature associated with varicocele, cryptorchidism?
Increase
Secrete testosterone; testosterone production unaffected by temperature
Leydig cells
