urinary incontinence and bph Flashcards
what is the urinary bladder
muscular reservoir of urine
what is blood supply to bladder
superior and inferior vesical branches of internal iliac artery. drained by vesical which drains into internal iliac vein
lymphatics of bladder
internal iliac nodes and paraaortic nodes
what is urethra
channel from neck of bladder to external urethral orifice
blood supply of urethra
internal pudendal arteries and inferior vesicle branches of vaginal arteries with corresponding venous drainage
lymphatics of urethra
proximal urethra into internal iliac nodes
distal urethra to superficial inguinal lymph nodes
nerve supply of urethra
vesical plexus and pudendal nerve
blood supply of prostate
inferior vesicle artery
venous drainage via prostatic plexus to vesical plexus and internal iliac vein
lymphatics of prostate
internal and sacral nodes
nerve supply of prostate
autonomic nervous system
what is normal micturition
intermittent voiding of urine stored in bladder
what happens in filling phase of micturition
bladder fills and distends without rise in intravesical pressure. urethral sphincter contracts and closes urethra
what happens in voiding phase of micturition
bladder contracts and expels urine,
urethral spincter relaxes and urethra opens
in adults how can voiding be initiated/ inhabitiated
control of external urethral sphincter keeping it closed until it is appropriate to urinate
innervation of micturition for bladder emptying
m3 receptors (parasympathetic s2-s4) are stimulated as bladder fills. as they become stretched and stimulated this results in contraction of detrusor muscle for urination. at same time parasympathetic fibres inhibit internal urethral sphincter which causes relaxation and allows for bladder emptying
describe innervation of micturition when bladder filling again
when bladder empties urine the stretch fibres become inactivated and sympathetic nervous system (originating from t11-l2) is stimulated to activate beta 3 receptors causing relaxation of detrusor muscle allowing bladder to fill again
