Where do the ureters pass over the pelvic brim
at the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries
The ureters are anterior and parallel to what arteries
internal iliac arteries
at what level do the ureters curve anterimedially to enter the bladder
level of ischial spine
where do the urters pass through the muscular wall of the urinary bladder
inferomedially
abdomincal parts of the ureters are supplied by these 3 arteries
renal

abdominal
Pelvic part of the ureter is supplied by these 2 arteries
common illiac artery

what is the trigone area of the urinary bladder
area between where the ureters enter and the urethra leaves
full bladder may ascend to the level of the
umbilicus
what seperates the urinary bladder from the pubic bone
retropubic space
Urinary bladder is held in place by what in males and in females

female- pubovesical ligament
toward the neck of the male bladder the muscle fibres form the
involuntary internal urethral sphincter
why does the internal urethral sphincter contracts during ejaculation
to prevent retrograde ejaculation of seman into the bladder
