Q

The vaginal artery is a homologue of what artery in men?

Q

Go through the layers of the abdominal wall?

A

Skin 🡪 Camper’s fascia (Fatty) 🡪 Scarpa’s Fascia (Membranous) 🡪 External Oblique 🡪 Internal oblique 🡪 Transversus abdominis 🡪 Transversalis Fascia 🡪 Parietal peritoneum

26
Q

What structure runs along the midline of the rectus abdominis?

A

Linea Alba

27
Q

Why is the Linea alba often used surgically to access the abdomen via a midline laparotomy?

A

It is avascular

28
Q

What are the two attachment sites of the inguinal ligament?

A

ASIS + Pubic Tubercle

29
Q

How is the inguinal ligament related to the external oblique?

A

The inguinal ligament is the free edge of the external oblique.

30
Q

What structure pulls the testes down creating the layers of the scrotum (from the abdominal layers) as it does so?

A

Gubernaculum

31
Q

The External oblique muscle corresponds to which layer of the scrotum?

A

External spermatic fascia

32
Q

The Internal oblique muscle corresponds to which layer of the scrotum?

A

Cremasteric muscle

33
Q

The parietal peritoneum corresponds to which layer of the scrotum?

A

Tunica vaginalis

34
Q

What two conditions can arise from a patent processus vaginalis?

A

1) Hydrocele 2) Indirect inguinal hernia

35
Q

Where would you go to palpate the deep inguinal ring?

A

Mid-point of the inguinal ligament

36
Q

What blood vessels is used clinically to demarcate an indirect from a direct inguinal hernia?

A

Inferior epigastric vessels (Indirect inguinal hernia is lateral to inferior epigastric artery, direct is medial to the vessels)

37
Q

What two muscles in the scrotum work to elevate the testes?

A

1) Dartos muscle 2) Cremasteric muscle

38
Q

What is the difference between the Dartos and Cremasteric muscles?

A

Dartos is under autonomic control (in cold environments it contracts to wrinkle the scrotum). Cremasteric is under conscious control.

39
Q

What is the afferent and efferent limb of the cremasteric reflex?

A

Afferent – Ilioinguinal nerve. Efferent – Genital branch of the Genitofemoral Nerve

40
Q

What is the functional unit of the testes?

A

Seminiferous tubules

41
Q

What cells in the seminiferous tubules assist with spermatogenesis?

A

Sertoli cells

42
Q

What hormone stimulates the Leydig cells?

A

LH. (LH -> Leydig cells)

43
Q

In response to LH what do the Leydig cells produce?

A

Androgens e.g. testosterone

44
Q

What does the epididymis continue as?

A

Vas/Ductus Deferens

45
Q

What two structures join together on the posterior side of the bladder to make the ejaculatory duct?

A

Ductus Deferens + Seminal Vesicle

46
Q

Which part of the prostate does the ejaculatory duct open into?

A

Prostatic urethra

47
Q

Which zone of the prostate is most commonly affected in prostate cancer?

A

Peripheral

48
Q

Which zone of the prostate is most commonly affected in Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy?

A

Transitional

49
Q

The ejaculatory duct opens up in the prostatic urethra but which specific part of the prostatic urethra does it open up into?

A

Seminal colliculus

50
Q

What is the function of the bulbourethral glands?

A

Lubrication of the urethra and production of pre-ejaculate

51
Q

What are the 4 parts of the male urethra?

A

Preprostatic, prostatic, membranous, spongy

52
Q

Which part of the penis is most susceptible to trauma when catheterising?

A

Membranous – due to the sharp change in angle

53
Q

The attached end of the penis is called the root. What 3 structures make up the root of the penis?

A

1 Bulb and 2 Crura (Crus singular)

54
Q

The bulb of the penis continues as what structure?

A

Corpus Spongiosum

55
Q

What does the crus of the penis continue as?

A

Corpus cavernosa

56
Q

What travels within the corpus spongiosum?

A

Urethra

57
Q

What muscle covers the crus and helps to maintain an erection by prevention blood from leaving the penis when it contracts?

A

Ischiocavernosus

58
Q

Describe the course of the pudendal nerve?

A

Leaves the pelvic cavity via the greater sciatic foramen 🡪 wraps around the ischial spine 🡪 re-enters the pelvic cavity via the lesser sciatic foramen

59
Q

What is the sympathetic innervation of the pelvis?

A

Sacral Splanchnic nerve

60
Q

What is the parasympathetic innervation of the pelvis?

A

Pelvic splanchnic nerve (Pelvic – Parasympathetic. The only parasympathetic splanchnic nerve)

61
Q

What nerve supplies the cremasteric muscle?

A

Genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve
