Q

The pelvic FLoor

A
  • Provides supports and prevents prolapsing of pelvic viscera - Bladder, uterus and rectum
  • Separately identifying parts of levator ani is difficult due to fibres blending together.

A

tube

46
Q

Properties of Uterus

A
  • Pear shaped
  • 7/8cm long
  • Cervical canal (Cervix)
  • Internal os: Communicates with uterine cavity
  • External os: Communicates with vaginal canal, Changes shape postpartum, Circular to ‘slit-like
47
Q

Properties of Vagina

A
  • 8-9cm long
  • Surrounds the cervix
  • Extends between the vulva (external genitalia) and uterus
  • Passes through the pelvic floor - Opens into vestibular area
  • Upper half of vagina lies above pelvic floor, lower half below it.
48
Q

What is this a picture of?

A

Internal view of vaginal canal around cervix using speculum

49
Q

What is Culdocentesis?

A

Culdocentesis is a procedure in which peritoneal fluid is obtained from the cul de sac of a female patient. It involves the introduction of a spinal needle through the vaginal wall into the peritoneal space of the pouch of Douglas

Draining rectouterine pouch using the posterior fornix for access

51
Q

Parietal periotneum=

A

Lining the walls of the abdominopelvic cavity

52
Q

Visceral Peritoneum=

A

Covering the organs The bladder (labelled) is hidden by peritoneal covering

53
Q

Broad Ligament =

A

Due to the shape of the female reproductive tract, the peritoneum drapes over it forming a double layer of peritoneum. Encas

A

60
Q

Innervation

A
61
Q

Testes and scrotum

A
  • Testes suspended in scrotum by spermatic cord (External) - Keeps testes 3 degrees lower than body temperature for spermatogenesis
  • Left usually lower → Descend first
  • Firm and mobile – limited rotation → Testicular torsion
  • Septum divides scrotum into left and right
62
Q
A
63
Q

Testes and Scrotum

Layers:

A
  • Skin
  • Dartos fascia
  • External spermatic fascia
  • Cremasteric fascia (Muscle)
  • Internal spermatic fascia
  • Tunica Vaginalis (Two layer
64
Q

What is the function of accessory glands? and what are the accessory glands?

A
  • Produce seminal fluid to carry sperm - Nutritive and protective
  • Prostate (Singular) - Inferior to the bladder
  • Seminal Vesicles (Paired) - Posterior surface of the bladder
  • Bulbourethral Glands (Paired) - Deep perineal pouch
65
Q
A
66
Q
A
67
Q

Seminal Vesicle

A
  • Seminal Vesicle (Paired)
  • Posterior to the bladder
  • Produces ~70% seminal fluid
  • Nourishment
  • Alkaline – protects against low pH in vagina
68
Q

•Bulbourethral gland (Paired)

A
  • Deep perineal pouch
  • Produces pre-ejaculatory fluid
  • Mucus rich – lubrication and protection
  • Empties into spongy urethra
69
Q
A
70
Q

Ductus deferens

A
  • Muscular tube carrying spermatozoa from the testis - Continuation from epididymal tail
  • Primary component of spermatic cord passing in inguinal canal
  • Terminates by joining with the seminal vesicle duct to form the ejaculatory duct
71
Q

Vasculature of the male reproductive system

A
72
Q

Innervation of male reproductive

A
73
Q

What is the inguinal Canal

A
  • Oblique passage through the layers of the abdominal wall in both males and females
  • Created by the dragging of structures through the incomplete abdominal wall
74
Q
A
75
Q

Formation of Inguinal canal (step 1)

A
  • Abdominal wall same structure in foetus & adult
  • Testes need to be external
  • Gonad anchored to the skin (labioscrotal swelling) by gubernaculum
  • Inguinal canal created first, gonad follows
76
Q

Formation of Inguinal canal (step 2)

A
  • Processus vaginalis forms outpouching of peritoneum
  • Takes all the layers of the wall with it as it pushes through
  • Gonad pulled along after
  • Pathway through the wall is inguinal canal
77
Q

Formation of Inguinal canal (step 3)

A
  • Labioscrotal swelling becomes scrotal sac (scrotum)
  • Upon gonadal descent, “layers” of the wall become “coverings” of spermatic cord and testes
  • Gubernaculum becomes scrotal ligament*
78
Q

Gonadal descent

A
  • Similar process in male and female
  • Male gonad descends into the scrotum by 9 months development
  • Creates a larger inguinal canal
  • Cryptorchidism – Incomplete descent

• Female gonad only descends as far as pelvic cavity

  • Gubernaculum attached to labioscrotal swelling becomes ovarian ligament and round ligament of the uterus -

Smaller inguinal canal
