A

Pelvic splanchic nerves

23
Q

How do parasympathetic fibres travel from the CNS to the KUB?

A

Kidneys and ureter: Vagus nerve

Bladder: S2,3,4 spinal nerves –> Pelvic splanchic nerves

24
Q

How do somatic nerve fibres travel from the CNS to the KUB?

A

Don’t travel to these structures only to the body wall and perineum (urethra and sphincter)

25
Q

Describe pain coming from the kidneys

A

Dull achy pain in the loin

26
Q

Describe pain coming from the bladder

A

Dull achy suprapubic pain

27
Q

Describe pain coming from ureteric calculi

A

Loin to groin pain

28
Q

Describe pain coming from the perineal urethra

A

Localised sharp pain in perineum

29
Q

How do visceral afferent nerve fibres travel from the kidneys to the CNS?

A

Run along sympathetic fibres back to spinal cord entering between T11 and L1

30
Q

How do visceral afferent nerve fibres travel from the ureters to the CNS?

A

Run along sympathetic fibres back to the spinal cord entering between T11 and L2

31
Q

How do visceral afferent nerve fibres travel from the bladder to the CNS?

A

PART THAT TOUCHES PERITONEUM (SUPERIOR):
Run along sympathetic fibres back to spinal cord entering beteen T11 and L2
REST OF BLADDER:
Run along parasympathetic fibres back to spinal cord entering at levels S2,3,4

32
Q

How do visceral afferent nerve fibres travel from the urethra to the CNS?

A 
PROXIMAL URETHRA (above levator ani):
Run along parasympathetic fibres back to spinal cord entering at levels S2,3,4
33
Q

How do somatic sensory nerve fibres travel from the urethra to the CNS?

A

DISTAL URETHRA:

Run along pudenal nerve back to spinal cord entering at levels S2,3,4

34
Q

How do visceral afferent nerve fibres travel from the testis to the CNS?

A

Run along sympathetic fibres back to spinal cord entering between T10 and T11

35
Q

Nerve fibres controlling urine flow enter and leave the spinal cord between what levels?

36
Q

List the nerve fibres involved in controlling urine flow

A

Visceral afferent fibres
Pelvis splanchic nerves (parasympathetic)
Pudenal nerves (somatic motor and sensory)

37
Q

Outline the five stages of urine flow

A
  1. As bladder flows, sensed by stretch receptors at end of visceral afferent fibres
  2. Information is transmitted to CNs via S2,3,4 spinal cord levels
  3. Reflex to empty bladder via detrusor muscle and inhibition of internal sphincter muscles
  4. In potty trained individuals, the brain overrides this reflex and an AP in inhibitory nerve fibres passes from the cortex causing voluntary contraction of EUS and levator ani
  5. During micturation, cerebral inhibition of this reflex is lifted, followed by coordinated contraction and relaxation
38
Q

During micturation, which muscles are contracted?

A

Anterolateral abdominal wall muscles

Detrusor muscle

39
Q

During micturation, which muscles are relaxed?

A

Internal urethral sphincter
External urethral sphincter
Levator ani

40
Q

What are nerve plexuses?

A

A collection of named nerves from the body wall formed from the anterior ramii of spinal nerves

41
Q

List the named nerves of the sacral plexus and the areas they supply

A 
Pudenal nerve (perineum)
Sciatic nerve
--> Common fibular nerve  (superficial for lateral leg, deep for anterior leg, tibial branch for posterior leg and intrinsic foot)
42
Q

List the named nerves of the lumbar plexus and the areas they supply

A 
Iliohypogastric nerve (lateral glutes)
Ilioinguinal nerve (perineum)
Lateral cutaneous nerve (lateral thigh)
Femoral nerve (lateral to psoas major, anterior thigh)
Genitofemoral nerve (surface of psoas)
Obturator nerve (medial to psoas major, medial thigh)
