Q

Which muscles forms the bladder wall?

A

Detrusor muscle

Fibres encircle ureteric orifices & tighten when bladder contracts (prevents reflux of urine)

Around neck of male bladder destrusor forms internal urethral sphincter muscle

Q

How does the position of the testes change during development?

A

Originate on posterior wall of abdominal cavity

Descend through anterior abdominal wall (through inguinal canal)

By birth, should have descended into the scrotum

‘Vas’ that carries sperm follows testis into scrotum and connected testis to urethra

A
  • Testicular artery
  • Testicular vein
  • Vas deferens
  • Lymphatic vessels
  • Nerves
    • Autonomic - Vas deferens

Q

What is the Cremaster muscle and what is its function?

A

In human males, the cremaster muscle is a thin layer of striated muscle found in the inguinal canal and scrotum between the external and internal layers of spermatic fascia, surrounding the testis and spermatic cord

Muscle moves testis, promoting healthy and motile sperm

Lowers and raises testis to control temperature

Q

Identify the points labelled below

A

A - Internal Spermatic Fascia

B - Cremasteric fascia

C - External spermatic fascia

D - Inguinal ligament

E - Superficial ring

17
Q

What is the Tunica Vaginalis?

A

Inside the scrotum the testis sits within a sac called Tunica Vaginalis (testis pushes into sac)

Excess fluid within tunica vaginalis = Hydrocele

18
Q

Where is sperm produced?

A

Seminiferous tubules

19
Q

Which parts of the testis are labelled below?

A

A - Vas deferens

B - Head of epididymis

C - Tail of Epididymis

D - Rete testis

20
Q

Which parts of the testis are labelled below?

A

A - Rete testis

B - Dartos muscle (smooth muscle - helps control temp.)

C - Seminiferous tubules

21
Q

What is the function of the Dartos muscle?

A

Smooth muscle in superficial fascia of scrotum

Contracts to:

  • Wrinkle/thicken scrotal skin
  • Reduce surface area of scrotum

Maintains correct scrotal temperature in cold conditions (temp 1C below core body temp.)

22
Q

What is the normal size of the testis?

A

5cm length

12-25ml volume

23
Q

Can the vas deferens be palpated?

A

Can be palpated within spermatic cord

In scrotum, superior to testis

24
Q

Which structures of the spermatic cord are labelled A, B, C and what embryonic remnant can sit within space D?

A

A - Vas deferens

B - Testicular artery

C - Pampiniform venous plexus

D - Potential space of Tunica Vaginalis

25
Q

What is the blood supply and drainage of the testis?

A

Arteries from lateral aspect of abdominal aorta (testicular arteries)

Veins:

  • Left testicular vein > left renal vein > IVC
  • Right testicular vein > IVC
26
Q

What is the function of Bulbourethral (Cowper’s) Gland?

A

Mucous secretion

Lubricates urethra and neutralises acidity

27
Q

What is the approximate size of a normal prostate?

A

Walnut shaped

Surrounds prostatic urethra (inferior aspect in contact with levator ani)

28
Q

Which zone do most prostate cancers arise?

A

Peripheral Zone (felt on PR exam)

29
Q

What is the route of sperm from testis to ejaculation?

A
  1. Sperm develops in testes (within scrotum)
  2. Pass from testes via vas defernens (lies within spermatic cord)
  3. Spermatic cord passes through anterior abdominal wall within inguinal canal (reaches pelvic cavity)
  4. Vas deferens connects with the duct from seminal gland (produces seminal fluid) to form Ejaculatory duct
  5. R + L ejaculatory ducts join together within prostate gland (inferior to bladder) and drain into urethra
  6. Urethra opens at external urethral meatus of penis
30
Q

What structures of the perineum are labelled?

A

A - Glans

B - Penile raphe

C - Scrotal Raphe

D - Scrotum

E - Anus

31
Q

Describe the anatomy of the erectile tissue within the penis and what do they contain?

A

3 cylinders of erectile tissue (engorged with blood at arterial pressure during erection)

Corpus cavernosum (R + L) - posterior, transmits deep arteries of penis

Corpus Spongiosum - anterior, transmits spongy uretha (less engorged in erection to prevent urethra closure)

  • Expands distally to form Glans penis
32
Q

How are the sections of the penis divided (proximal to distal)?

A

Root of penis

Body of penis

Glans

External urethral orifice

33
Q

What are the contents of the root of penis and their respective muscles?

A

Bulb (corpus spongiosum) > Bulbospongiosus

Crura (corpus caverosum) > Ischiocavernosus

(Also superficial transverse perineal muscle, proximal spongy urethra, branches of internal pudendal vessels + pudendal nerve)

34
Q

What is the blood supply to the penis and scrotum?

A

Via deep arteries of the penis (branches from Internal Pudendal Artery >fromInternal iliac)

Blood supply to scrotum via Internal Pudendal and branches from External Iliac artery

35
Q

What is the lymph drainage of the penis scrotum and testes?

A

Lymph from scrotum & most of penis (NOT glans) - drains to Superficial Inguinal lymph nodes (superficial fascia of groin)

Lymph from testes drains to Lumbar Nodes (around abdominal aorta)
