Q

Structure of the epididymis

A

Made from head body and tail
Head most proximal part, stores sperm for maturation
Body - heavily coiled, connects the head to the tail
Tail - origin of vas deferens transports sperm to the prostatic portion of the urethra for ejaculation

Q

How does an erection happen

A

Arterial blood flow to corpus cavernosa increases causing increase in size and rigidity
Corposa spongiosum prevents the urethra from being compressed which would prevent ejaculation

Q

function of vas deferens

A

a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis up the spermatic cord and through the inguinal canal into the urethra in preparation for ejaculation

22
Q

how does the vas deferens terminate

A

joining the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct

23
Q

vascular supply of vas deferens, seminal vesicle and prostate

A

internal iliac artery

24
Q

how is the uterus split up and roles

A

fundus - top of uterus, entry point of uterine tubes
body- site of implantation
cervix- links to vagina

25
Q

define anteverted and anteflexed in terms of the uterus

A

Anteverted: Rotated forward, towards the anterior surface of the body.
Anteflexed: Flexed, towards the anterior surface of the body

26
Q

histological structure of the uterus

A

Endometrium- uterine mucous membrane, simple columnar
Myometrium - three smooth muscle layers
Perimetrium. - equals the peritoneum and is surrounded by a thin connective tissue layer

27
Q

function of cervix

A

facilitates the passage of sperm into the uterine cavity

maintains sterility of the upper female reproductive tract

28
Q

blood supply to cervix

A

uterine artery

29
Q

function of uterine tubes/fallopian tube

A

transfer and transport ova to the ovary

30
Q

arterial supply to the ovaries

A

ovarian arteries which rise from the abdominal aorta

31
Q

vascular supply and innervation to the vulva

A

internal pudenal arteries

Iliolinguinal nerve , genital branch of genitofemoral nerve , pudendal nerve and posterior cutaneous nerve

32
Q

what is an ectopic pregnancy

A

implantation in the wall of uterine tubes

33
Q

location of urinary bladder

A

posterior to the pubic symphysis

anterior to the vagina and rectum

34
Q

vascular supply of the bladder and innervation

A

vesical arteries which is a branch of the internal iliac artery
Somatic - pudendal nerve
Sympathetic - hypogastric nerve
Parasympathetic - pelvic splanchnic nerve

35
Q

venous drainage of bladder

A

internal iliac vein

36
Q

what is the trigone

A

a triangular area located within the fundus

37
Q

what is the rectum

A

final part of the large intestine

38
Q

sphincters of the anal canal and what they do

A

internal- smooth muscle and involuntary movement

external- skeletal muscle and voluntary movement

39
Q

venous drainage , arterial supply and innervation of the superior anal canal

A

Vasculature - superior rectal artery branch of the IMA
drainage- sup rectal vein into imv
Innervation - visceral innervation via the inferior hypogastric plexus

40
Q

blood supply , drainage and innervation to anal canal below the pectinate lines

A

Blood supply - inferior rectal artery , branch of pudendal
Drainage - inferior rectal vein into internal pudendal vein
Innervation - somatic via inferior rectal nerves

41
Q

What is the inguinal ligament

A

A band of connective tissue that extends from the ASIS to the pubic tubercle

42
Q

What is the inguinal canal

A

The inguinal canal is a short passage that extends inferiorly and medially through the inferior part of the abdominal wall.

43
Q

Where does the inguinal canal start and finish

A

Start at deep inguinal ring

End at superficial inguinal ring

44
