what is the perineal membrane?

A

Deep strong fascia that is found within the the Urogenital triangle.

Q

Perineal fascial is made up of two layers, what are they?

A

Deep
- covers the superficial perineal muscels and protruding structures (penis and clitoris)

Superficial FASCIA
- SUPERFICIAL LAYER = continious with Campers
- Deep Layer aka Colles’ Fascia = continous with Scarpa’s fascia

Q

What muscel is refered to as the Diaphram of the pelvis?

A

Levator Ani

Below is the perinium, above is the abdo cavity

17
Q

Common site for a peri-anal abbcess?

A

Ischioanal fossae

18
Q

what are the Three aspects of the anal sphincter?

A
  1. internal anal sphincter (Inner circular muscle, involentary)
  2. Deep external sphincer
  3. Volentary fibers of Levator Ani
19
Q

What part of the fetus demarcates the start of the anal canal?

A

Proctodeum (stratified squamous)

20
Q

What epithelium is the proximal anal canal/Rectum?

A

Columnar Epithelium + goblet cells
Below the pectinate line
Hindgut

Cancer - adenocarcinom

21
Q

What type if cancer are radiosensitive?

A

Stratified squamous

Adenocarcinoma are not as well managed with radiotherapy.

22
Q

Blood supply to the Rectum

A

Top 1/3 - Superior rectal artery, branch of the IMA.

2/3 + 3/3 - Middle and Inferior rectal artery, branchs of the Interal Illiac arteries

Superior rectal vein - drains to portal system

Inferior veins - Drians to internal illiacs, into the systemic.

In middle there is a porto-systemic Anastamosis with increased portal hypertension = Varicies in rectum

23
Q

Where do tumors at the anal verge, lymph drain to?

A

Inguinal lymph nodes

24
Q

What are haemaroids?

A

Gross dilations of the terminal portion of superior haemaroidal/rectal veins/anasteomosis
typicaly at 3,7,11 o’clock.

25
Q

At what level does the rectum start?

A

S3

26
Q

How does the rectum differ from the colon Macroscopicaly?

A

The rectum does not have Taenia Coli, Haustra, omental appendicies.

27
Q

Where is stool stored?

A

ampulla of teh rectum, most distal aspect of the rectum.

28
Q

What is the perioneal coverings of the rectum?

A

1/3 - Anterior and lateral aspects of the rectum

2/3 - Just the anteior aspect of teh rectum

3/3 - Not covered

29
Q

Where is the rectovescicular pouch ?

A

Inbetween the rectum and the posterior aspect of the bladder in men

30
Q

where is the Pouch of dougless?

A

Inbetween the rectum and the posterior vagina.

31
Q

What is the external anal sphincter inervated by?

A

Somatic inferior rectal nerves, that originate from the pudendal nerve (s2- s4)

32
Q

What is the lymphatic drainage of the testes?

A

Drains to the para-aortic lymph nodes

as the testes decended downwards in embryolic life, dragging the vasacalature with them

they are supplied from branch of aorta so lymph is also aorta

33
Q

what muscels make up the levator ani muscle?

A

Three paired muscels
1. Bubococcygenus
2. Puborectalis
3. Iliococcygeus

34
Q

Describe the lymphatic drainage of the Penis?

A

Penile skin - superficial inguinal lymph nodees

Glans - deep inguinal lymph nodes

Erectile tissue - Internal iliac lymph nodes

generaly the Inguinal lymph nodes drain external genitalia in men
