Study it or don't (IDGAF) Flashcards
_______ (PSNS/SNS) from pelvic nerves arising from _______ (S2-4 or T11-L2 is the Spinal Micturition center
PSNS and S2-4
What kind of info does the spinal micturition center carry?
Motor and stretch sensory receptors
The SNS carries motor and sensory (pain, touch, and temp) from the what thoracolumbar segments
A. T8-11
B. T8-12
C. T11-L2
D. L2-L5
C. T11-L2
The Pudendal nerve carries motor and sensory somatic fibers from what spinal vertebrae?
A. S2-4
B. S3-4
C. T12-S1
D. S1-S2
A. S2-S4
Where is the conus medullaris in adults
L1
What supplies motor to bladder musculature, the involuntary sphincter and striated external sphincter?
The Spinal micturition Center
What controls the micturition reflex?
The pontine micturition center
The hypogastic nerve inhibits the detrusor muscle during filling and constricts the internal urethral sphincter. Is this PSNS or SNS and where in the spinal column does it come from?
Its SNS and T10-12
Is the pudendal nerve PSNS? SNS? or Somatic?
Its somatic
What effects will a lesion above the brainstem have on the bladder?
Affecting micturition can result in involuntary bladder contractions (detrusor hyperreflexia) with coordinated sphincter relaxation
Symptoms:
Urge incontinence
a sudden strong urge to urinate
A complete lesion of the spinal cord above T12 vertebral body has what effect on the bladder?
this MAY leave the spinal reflex center intact. These patients have detrusor hyperreflexia and an uncoordinated spastic external sphincter, residual urine with reduced bladder capacity
Alright fuckers how bout a lesion to the spinal micturition reflex center or below?
So both motor and sensory fibers are affected. Because of this you can not tell when you shit is full of pee. Your bladder contractions are weak shit and you don’t fucking empty it because of these bitch ass contractions so you have a large urine residual.
What three parts of the urinary tract do stones usually get stuck at?
- UPJ
- Pelvic inlet
- UVJ
What is the imaging of choice to evaluate for stones and other diagnostic possibilities?
Non contrast spiral CT.
Ducks and pigs have corkskrew dicks
What happens with renal papillary necrosis?
Well some old fuck abused NSAIDs and now their shit is fucked. It causes the renal medulla (papilla) to necrose and slough off. Welp now the old bag has issues filling up cause the papilla has “sloughed” off.
