    - Through wall of vesica urinaria. Opens into its fundus by ostium ureteris
32
Q

Narrowings (physiolgical) of ureter and histology

A

Upper narrowing - Hilum renale/exit from renal pelvis

- Lower 1/3 external and internal longitudinal, middle circular
• Tunica adventitia (from all sides)
• Transitional epithelium
• Gll. Urtericae (glandulae?) 
• Situaited retroperitoneally
33
Q

Vesica urinaria s. Cystis. Empty and distended

A 
Located in the subperitoneal space
Apex vesicae
Corpus vesicae
Fundus vesicae
--> consists 3 openings: 
Ostium ureteris dextrum et sinistrum
Ostium urethrae internum
** Openings border Trigonum vesicae
** Plica interureterica is between ostium ureteris dextrum et sinistrum

Empty vesica urinaria
- Behind symphysis pubica
- Tunica serosa posterior and lateral sides (lies preperitioneally), upper surface covered by peritoneum
parietale

Distended vesica urinaria

  • Directed upward and forward above symphysis pubica, Oval-shape.
  • Tunica serosa covers also apex vesicae (lies mesoperioneally)
34
Q

Histology of vesica urinaria

A 
• Tunica mucosa
• Tela submucosa
• Tunica muscularis
• Tunia adventitia (anterior)/ serosa
• Plicae vesicae (empty)
• Gll. Vesicales
• 3 muscle layers ( m. detrusor vesicae)
- external and internally longitudinal
- middle layer circular (m. sphincter vesicae)
35
Q

Topography of vesica urinaria

A

Holotopia
- Pelvis minor

Skeletopia
- Behind symphsis pubica

Syntopia
males
 - Anterior: symphysis pubica
- Posterior ductus:
* deferentes dextra et sinistra
* vesiculae seminales dextra et sinistra
* rectum
* excavatio rectovesicales with coils of ileum and part of colon
* sigmoidem
- Lateral: plexus venosus
- Inferior: prostate

females

  • Anterior: symphysis pubica
  • Posterior: uterus, excavatio vesicouterina
  • Lateral: plexus venosus
  • Inferior: vagina
36
Q

Urethra masculina and its parts

A
  • Eliminating urine and sperm, ~20 cm
  • From Ostium urethrae internum (vesica urinaria) to ostium urethrae externum
Pars prostatica
- Through prostata from base to apex
* Colliculus seminalis
* Utriculus prostaticus
--> Ductus ejaculatorii enter on colliculus
seminalis and prostatic ducts on both
sides

Pars membranacea

  • From Apex prostea to bullbus penis.
  • Transverse the pelvis floor.
  • M. sphincter urethrae
Pars spongiosa
- From Pars membranacea to Ostium
urethrae externum.
- Located in corpus spongiosum penis.
- At bulbus penis ductus glandulae bulbourethralis opens into the urethra
37
Q

Urethra masculina Narrowings, enlargements, curves

A

Narrowings

  • Upper narrowing: Ostium urethrae internum
  • Middle narrowing: Pars membranacae
  • Lower narrowing: Ostium urethrae externum

Enlargements

  • Upper enlargement: Pars prostacia
  • Middle enlargement: Regio bulbus penis
  • Lower enlargement: End of pars spongiosa (fossa navicularis urethrae)

Curves
- Curvatura infrapubica: Below symphysis pubica
* Transition from Pars prostatica to pars membranacea
- Curvatura prepubica: Uncostant curve. In the middle of pars spongiosa. Disappears when Penis is
lifted

38
Q

Urethra masculina histology

A

• Tunica mucosa

  • Lacunae urethrales
  • Gll. Urethrales open in lacunae
  • Fossa navicularis region valvula fossae navicularis

• Tunica muscularis

  • presented in Ostium urethrea internum (m. sphincter vesicae)
  • Pars membranacea (m. sphincter urethre)
39
Q

Urethra feminine and its histology

A
  • 3-5 cm
  • Extends from ostium urethrae internum
  • Passes through diaphgrama urogenitalis
  • Terminates by ostium urethrae externum in vestibulum vaginae
  • Behind symphysis pubica
  • Embedded into anterior wall of vagina
Histology
• Tunica muscosa
Lacunae urethrales Gll. Urethreales
• Tunica muscularis
External circular layer
Internal longitundinal layer
• Tunica adventita
