ureter passes under the uterine artery at the base of the broad ligament
(water under the bridge)

29
Q

A

with inferior vesical or internal pudendal

it follows their arteries and veins

32
Q

What drains to the superficial inguinal nodes in the superfical pelvis and peritoneum

A

llymphatic vessesls of th perineum (except glans pens and clit)
inferior 2/3rds of vagina
anal canal inferior to pectinate line

33
Q

What drains into the internal iliac nodes in the superfical pelvis and peritoneum

A

upper 1/3rd of the vagna and pelvic viscera

34
Q

Where do lymphatics from the ovaries and testis drain

A

para aortic lumbar nodes

35
Q

Where is the superior hyogastric plexus

A

contiunuation of inferior mesenteric plexus before the aortic bifurcation

36
Q

What is contained in the superior hypogastric plexus and what makes up most of it

A

contains parsympathetic and sympathetic compoonents

but principally sympthetic vasomotor and sensory

37
Q

What feeds into the Superior hyopgastric plexus

A

parasympthetic from pelvic splanchnic nerves

lower two lumbar splanchnic nerves (sympathetic)

38
Q

What happens caudally to the hypogastric plexus

A

contiues on the promontory of the sacrum and desncends into each side of pelvis as right and left hypogastric nerves

39
Q

What do the left and right hypogastric nerves contribute to

A

join parasympathetic pelvic splanchnic nerves to form the inferior hypogastric plexus

40
Q

What proides innervation to the pelvic viscera

A

inferior hypogastric plexus

41
Q

Where is the inferior hypogastric plexus located

A

each side of the
rectum
urinary bladder
uterinecervix (or prostate)

42
Q

what do extensions of theinferior hypogasttric pleus follow

A

branches of internal illiac

rectal, vesical, prostatic, uterine, vaginal, and cavernous

43
Q

what do the branches of the inferior hypogastric plexus do once they reach the viscera

A

form visceral plexuses in the walls of pelvic viscera

44
Q

Where do preganglionic sympathetic (splanchnic) contributions to pelvic plexuses synapse

A

in the ganglion cells within the plexuses

postganglionics distribute along vessels

45
Q

Where do preganglionic parasympathetic (splanchnic) contributions to pelvic plexuses synapse

A

do not synapse in ganglion
distribute along vessels
synapse on postanglionic nerve cell bodies in the walls of organ to be innervated

46
Q

What forms the pudendal nerve and what does it provide

A

anterior divisions of S2 S3 and S4

principle nerve to peritoneum

47
Q

What types of spinal nerves are contained in the pudendal nerve

A
all 4 components
voluntary motor GSE
visceral motor (sympathtetic) GVE
visceral sensory 
somatic sensory

NO PARASYMPATHETIC AUTONOMICS

48
Q

Where does the perinieum get parasympathetic autonomics

A

from the prostatic plexus (male)

or uterovaginal plexus (female)

49
Q

What types of spinal inervation does sexual functioninvolve

A

all of them
sensory
autonomic (sym parasym)
and somatic

50
Q

What characterizes the exitement phase in female

A

vaginal wetness

54
Q

What causes engorgement of the erictile tissue on errection

55
Q

What helps maintain errections and how/with what innervation

A

Bulbospongiosus and ischiovavernosus via pudendal

contract and interfere with venous return of blood from cavernous tissues

56
Q

What is wetness in females and what causes it

A

fluid passing across vaginal wall

increased bloodflow and vasocongestion to vagina

57
Q

What is also seen alongside wetness in female excitement and how
