Venous drainage
left ovary/testis –> left gonadal vein –> left renal vein –> IVC
right ovary/testis –> right gonal vein –> IVC
Lymphatic drainage of ovaries and testes
para-aortic lymph nodes
Lymphatic drainage of distal vagina/vulca/scrotum
superficial inguinal nodes
Lymphatic drainage of proximal vagina and uterus
obturator, external iliac and hypogastric nodes
Infudibulopelvic ligament (suspensory ligament of ovaries)
connects: the ovaries to the pelvic wall
contains: ovarian vessles
Notes: ligate vessels during oophorectomy to avoid bleeding, the ureter is at risk of unjury during ligation as it close to the gonadal vessels
cardinal ligament
connects: cervix to side wall of pelvis
contains: uterine vessels
notes: ureter is at risk during ligation of uterine vessels in hysterectomy
round ligament of the uterus
connects: uterine fundus to labia majoria
notes: derivitive of the gubernaculum, travels through round inguinal canal; above the artery of sampson
Broad ligament
- mesosalpixm, mesovarium, mesometrium
connects: uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries to the pelvic SIDE WALL
contains: ovaries, fallopian tubes, round ligaments of uterus
Ovarian ligament
connects: the ovary to the lateral uterus
note: derivative of the gubernaculum.
Vagina
stratified squamous epithelium, non keratinized
Ectocervix
stratified squamoys epithelium, non keratinized
endocervix
stratified columnar epithelium
Transformation zone
squamocolumnar junction (most common area for cervical cancer)
Uterus
-siimple columnar epithelium with long tubular glands
Fallopian tube:
simple columnar epithelium, many ciliated cells, few secretory (peg) cells
Ovary, outer surface: simple cuboidal epithelium (germinal epithelium covering surface of ovary)
Female sexual response
autonomic nervous system
male sexual response
parasympathetic nervous system point and shoot
pelvic nerve:
-NO –> increase cGMP –> smooth muscle relaxation –> vasodialtion –> proerectile, as blood flows is
NE–> increase Ca intracellular –> smooth muscle contraction –> vasoconstriction –> antierectile
emission: sympathetic nervous system (hypogastric nerve)
ejaculation: visceral and somatic nerves (pudendal)
male reproductive anatomy
seminiferous tubules
