Q

Describe the travel of the vas deferens

A

goes up the spermaticord, travels anterior to the pubic crest keeps going and then goes towards the bladder and travels over the superior aspect of the bladder and makes its way to the posterior aspect of the bladder and then drops inferiorly.

Q

Where is the bulbourethral gland and what is its function?

A

found at the base of the penis (base of the erectile tissue) and it will produce a slippery slimy substance that will neutralize the acidic nature of the urethra due to the passage of urine.

Q

Directional terminology of the penis is always in reference to what?

A

an erect penis

-ventrum is the bottom part of the penis and the dorsal side is the top part of the penis.

26
Q

What are the components of the root of the penis?

A

right and left crura and the bulb of the penis

27
Q

Describe the shaft of the penis

A

The external portion of the penis.
contains the enlarged tip which is the gland penis
and the prepuce, which if your circumsized you do not have.

28
Q

What does crura mean?

A

leg

29
Q

The crura of the root of the penis are continuous with what structures?

A

the corpora cavernosum on either side of the penis

30
Q

the bulb of the penis is continuous with what structure?

A

the corpora spongiosum

31
Q

Describe the erectile tissue inside of the penis

A

it is CT tubes made of tunica albuginea type of tissue with a sponge like network of smooth muscle filled with CT and vascular spaces

32
Q

Describe the Corpus spongiosum

A

Contains the bulb of the penis, forms the glans of the penis and is secured to the urogenital diaphragm with skeletal muscle

33
Q

Describe the corpora cavernosum

A

secured to the pubic arch and forms the crura of the penis proximally.

34
Q

Where are the ovaries pressed up agains?

A

the ovarian fossa of the iliac fossa

35
Q

Describe the anatomy of the ovary?

A

has a medulla (all of the vessels) and a cortex (find the developing cells).
has an outer layer which is the tunica albuginea

36
Q

Describe the uterine tube

A

smooth muscle tube completely lined with ciliated epithelium

37
Q

What portion of the fallopian (uterine) tube is attached to the uterus?

A

the isthmus – the narrowest portion of the tube

38
Q

Where does the ampula of the fallopian tube terminate?

A

at the infundibulum

39
Q

What are fimbrae? function?

A

fingerlike projections that are not cillia nor microvilla, much larger than those, hanging off of the infundibulum.
-fimbrae have cillia on top and their job is to swish the extracellular fluid to bring in the ovum.

40
Q

The body of the uterus is going to narrow up and become what?

A

The cervix.

41
Q

What is the arrangement of the smooth muscle in the uterus?

A

swirling types

42
Q

As you approach the cervix, how does the tissue change?

A

it is almost cartilaginous in nature

43
Q

What is the name of the lumen running through the cervix?

A

the cervical canal

44
Q

What do you call the openings in the cervix?

A

the internal and external Ose

45
Q

What are the three layers of the uterus?

A

Perimytrium, myometrium, endometrium

46
Q

Describe the perimetrium?

A

an extension of the peritoneum that drapes over the top of the uterus. serous membrane

47
Q

Describe the myometrium

A

thick layer of smooth muscle

48
Q

Describe the endometrium

A

-mucosal lining of the uterus
-has two layers
functional layer: nearest the lumen and sheds during menstration
basal layer: forms new functional layer following mensturation

49
Q

What ligament is helping suspend the ovaries and uterus?

A

the broad ligament – ovarian ligament and round ligament

50
Q

What are the names of the peritoneum that drapes over and covers the ovaries and uterus and helping suspend it

A

The mesosalpinx is associated with the fallopian tube
the mesometrium is asscoaited with the uterus
the mesovarian is associated with the ovaries

51
Q

What is the purpose of the rugae of the vagina?

A

to stimulate the penis during intercourse

52
Q

What is the mons pubis?

A

the fat pad that sits right in front of the pubic symphysis

53
Q

What is the prepuce of the clitoris?

A

Where the labia minor and majora combine anteriorly

54
Q

What is the vestibule of the vulva

A

a recess that is enclosed by the labia minora

55
Q

Where can you find the external urethral orifice

A

Posterior to the clitoris

56
Q

What are the tiny puncture holes on the lateral sides of the vaginal orifice?

A

openings for the duct of the greater vestibular gland

57
Q

What type of erectile tissue is found in the clitoris

A

corpora cavernosa

58
Q

What is the function of the bulbs of the vestibule?

A

during external stimulation, these bulbs will fill with blood and close off the urethral orifice.
-also known for holding onto the penis during intercourse

59
Q

What is the function of the greater vestibular gland?

A

it’s job is to secrete a slippery type of lubrication to receive the penis and not have any tearing in the vagina.
