Urinary bladder and male internal genetalia Flashcards
How is the bladder related to the peritoneum
Lies in extraperitoneal fat
Where is the badder in adults vs. infants
Adults - lesser pelvis
Inflants = abdomen
What is the shape of the bladder
Tetrahedral
What are the different parts of the bladder
Apex Body Fundus/base Neck Uvula - trigone projections
What are the surfaces of the bladder
Superior
Inferolateral
Posterior
What makes up the trigone of the bladder
Two ureteric openings
Internal urethral opening
What is characteristic of the histological structure of the trigone of the bladder
Mucosa is smooth
What are the characterists of the bladder wall
Made of detrusor muscle (Smooth Muscle)
Neck contains the Internal spincter
At the opening of the ureter - there is no backflow of urine
- efficient sphincter
- angle
Mucosa is folded into rugae
Vesical (bladder) fascia is made of Loose CT
What are the relations of the bladder
Superior:
- peritoneum
- Ileum
- sigmoid colon
Inferolateral
- Obturator internus muscle
- Superior vesical artery and vein
- Levator Ani muscle
- Obturator nerve, artery and vein
Anterior:
- Retropubic space
- Pubic crest
Posterior (male):
- seminal vesicles
- ampulla of ductus deferens
- retrovesical pouch
- ampulla of rectum
Inferior (male)
-prostate gland
Posterior (female):
- anterior wall of vagina
- cervix
Posteriosuperior (female)
- uterovesical pouch
- body of uterus
Please like some old sucker’s leggings.
On roads, people seem adiment about reversing.
Allow people’s children unwarmed bread.
What is the arterial supply of the bladder
Superior Vesical Aa. (from Umbilical A.)
-Supplies Anterosuperior Part
Uretral Branches (from Superior Vesical Aa.)
Inferior Vesical A. / Vaginal A.
Prostatic Branches (from Inferior Vesical A. - Males Only)

What is the venous drainage of the bladder
Vesical venous plexus (into Int. Iliac Plexus)
Males - Prostatic Plexus
Females - Uterovaginal Plexus
What is the lymphatic drainage of the bladder
Superior:
-Ext. Iliac LN
Fundus:
-Int. Iliac LN
Neck/Urethra:
- Sacral LN
- Common Iliac LN
What is the innervation of the bladder
Parasympathetic:
- Inferior Hypogastric Plexus
- Contracts detrusor muscle
- Relaxes internal sphincter
Sympathetic:
- T11-T12
LOOK AT SCHEMATIC PICTURE IN LECTURE SLIDES
What are the four parts of the Urethra
Preprostatic (bladder neck)
Prostatic
Membranous
Spongy
These parts are found only in males
How long is the Preprostatic part of the Urethra (Males)
1-1.5cm
