the perineum Flashcards
perineum
pelvic floor and the things beneath it
corpus cavernosum
cavernous bodies on the top of the penis
erectile tissue
corpus spongiosum
spongy body
extends to the gland
corpus cavernosum is homologous to
clitoral crura and body
corpus spongiosum is homologous to
bulb of the vestibule, clitoral glans
perineal layers
- subcutaneous - superficial external anal sphincter
- external - erectile tissue muscles
- internal - deep external anal sphincter/urethral/vaginal sphincter
4, transverse - levator ani and coccygeus
scarpas facial is continuous with
collies fascia
buck’s fascia
only on the penis
under collies fascia
extension of the perineal membrane
fascias allow for
containment of compartmentalisation
subcutaneous body wall
superficial external anal sphincter
deep perianal fascia contains
male erectile tissues
superficial sternal anal sphincter is
voluntary
space observed in the subcutaneous body wall
ischorectal fossa
external body wall, erectile muscle layer
bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernous, superficial transverse perineal
internal body wall
urogenital diaphragm, deep pouch muscles, deep external anal sphincter
with the female - also sphincter urethrovaginalis, compressor urethrae
transverse body wall
levator ani
pelvic floor - support viscera, maintain rectoanal angle
levator ani is made is up of
puborectalis, pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus
ischiococcygeus
form pelvic floor, support viscera, flexes the coccyx after defacation
urogenital diaphragm
the entire 3rd muscle layer
entire structure of the deep pouch and all its contents
deep pouch
fascial pouch containing the urogenital diaphragm muscles
bulbourethral gland
extra contents of the male deep pouch
superficial pouch
space between perineal membrane and collet fascia (skin fascia)
contains erectile muscles and tissues
the female prostate
para urethral gland
the female bulbourethral gland
greater vestibular gland
pudendal vessels run
inside the pudendal canal
pudendal canal
fibrous canal n the sternal obturator fascia
branches of the pudendal nerve
- inferior rectal
- perineal
- dorsal nerve of the penis/clitoris
cloacal urogenita sinus develops
- separated from anus
- top: genital tubercle (body of erectile tissue)
formation of the external genitalia in males
genital tubercle elongates to form the phallus
urethral folds close to form a penile urethra
labioscrotal swells into a scrotum and accepts the descending testicles
external genital development iii females
tubercle does not lengthen and urethral folds do not close
results in short clitoral body and labia minora
open to both urethra and vagina
dartos muscle
smooth muscle under autonomic control
