Q

1) Estrogen

Q

1) S2-4
2) Posterior/Lateral
3) Sacrospinous

A

The pudendal nerve originates from the anterior rami of (1) then loops ((anterior/posterior)* to the ischial spine and (3) Ligament and enters the perineum

Q

1) Inferior Rectal

2) Perineal

A

Once it passes around the ischial spine the pudendal nerve gives off the (1) nerve, after which point the pudendal is called the (2) nerve.

Q

F (Relaxes to remove the angle)

A

(T/F) The defecation reflex constricts the puborectalis muscle to remove the angle between the rectum and anal canal, which allows feces to be excreted

Q

External Urethral Sphincter

A

UG Diaphragm aka

19
Q

1) Pelvic

2) Urogenital

A

The (1) Diaphragm is superior and makes up the entire

floor of the pelvis while the (2) Diaphragm is inferior and is only found in the urogenital triangle

20
Q

F (2 in F; 1 in M)

A

(T/F) The UG Diaphragm is mainly responsible

for suspending the roots of the external genitalia, so there will be one opening in it in females and two in males

21
Q

Perineal Membrane

A

Inferior Fascia of the UG Diaphragm aka (there is also a less imp superior fascia)

22
Q

1) Bulb

2) Crura

A

The erectile tissue suspended from the UG Diaphragm is comprised of a (1) and two (2)

23
Q

Ischioanal Fossa (Common site of abscess)

A

These are triangular spaces lateral to the pelvic viscera that are filled with liquid fat. Their role is to maintain flexibility of the area to accommodate feces

24
Perineal Body
The integrity of this part of the pelvic floor is important for entire region b/c *8 pelvic floor muscles converge here*. Tear may lead to prolapse.
25
Episiotomy
A procedure sorta common during childbirth, where an incision is made in order to prevent a jagged tear that would heal slower and be harder to stitch up
26
1) Infection 2) Pain 3) Longer healing times compared to no tear at all 4) Increased discomfort when resuming intercourse
Downsides of Episiotomies (4)
27
T (Due to the fact that the fallopian tubes are open to the peritoneum at the proximal end)
(T/F) Female perineal infections can lead to peritonitis
28
Bartholin's Glands
Cysts in these glands are common in women (2% of all women will have them), especially in women aged 20-29
29
1) UGD 2) Urethra 3) Vagina
In females the *deep* perineal pouch contains these three things

As the aorta descends it branches into the common iliac arteries at this vertebrae
36
1) Iliolumbar A. 2) Lateral Sacral A. 3) Superior Gluteal A. (Largest)
The *posterior division* of the of the *internal iliac* has 3 arteries
37
1) umbilical 2) superior vesical (vesical=bladder) 3) inferior vesical/vaginal 4) middle rectal 5) obturator 6) internal pudendal 7) inferior gluteal 8) Uterine
The *anterior division* of the of the *internal iliac* has 3 arteries
38
Ureter
The (1) passes posterior/inferior to the uterine artery
39
Superficial Inguinal Nodes
Lymph from the perineum first drains into the
40
1) Great Saphenous Vein | 2) Inguinal Ligament
Superficial Inguinal Nodes are arranged in a 'T' with the trunk of the 'T' overlying the (1) and the cross of the 'T' lying parallel and directly inferior to the (2)

L4-S4
The sacral plexus is made up of the anterior rami from these vertebrae
43

The Sciatic N. is made up of the anterior rami from these vertebrae
