Vessels of the Pelvic Cavity Flashcards
External Iliac Artery
Leads to deep femoral a. which goes to pudendoepigastric trunk (this branches into the caudal epigastric a. and the external pudendal a.)
Deep Circumflex Artery
Flank muscles and structures
Internal Iliac Artery
Branches into umbilical a., caudal gluteal a. (which branches to Iliolumbar branch and cranial gluteal branch), internal pudendal a. (which branches into prostatic/vaginal a., ventral perineal a. and artery of penis/clitoris), and median sacral a.
Umbilical a.
Round ligament of the bladder; at apex of the bladder
Caudal gluteal a.
follows sciatic n. out of pelvis and terminates in the hamstrings
Cranial gluteal branch (artery)
muscle of lumbosacral junction, gluteals, proximal femoral region
Internal pudendal a.
branches into prostatic/vaginal a., ventral perineal a., and artery of penis/clitoris
Prostatic/vaginal a.
rectum, bladder, ureter, prostate/uterus and vagina
Uterine a.
uterus, ovary
Ventral perineal a.
tissues between anus and vulva
Artery of penis/clitoris
penis/clitoris and vestibule
Dorsal a. of penis/clitoris
part of glandis and prepuce
Median sacral a.
tail, termination of the aorta
Bovine uterine blood supply
from ovarian, vaginal, and umbilical a. (from internal iliac a.)
Equine uterine blood supply
from ovarian, vaginal, and external iliac (uterine a.)
Bovine blood supply to the penis
internal pudendal a.
Equine blood supply to the penis
Obturator, internal pudendal and external pudendal a.
Pelvic plexus
close to surface of the rectum, left hypogastric n. can be traced to it and pelvic n. fibers come from it
Pelvic n.
PNS branches leave sacral spinal n., supply urogenital organs, rectum and descending colon
Obturator n.
pectineus m., gracilis m., adductor m., obturator exterus m.
Pudendal n.
somatic innercation to genital structures, external anal sphincter, sensory to anus, perineum, urinary bladder and genitalia
Hypogastric n.
sympathetic innervation to the pelvic cavity
Cranial superficial epigastric v.
milk vein, main vein associated with mammary glands
Milk well
opening through the abdominal wall the milk vein passes through
Internal thoracic v.
superficial, can be traced to the axilla
