30
Q

what is the tunica albuginae

anteflexed – fundus points forward (relative to cervix)

retroverted - tilted back toward rectum

retroflexed – fundus points backward

50
Q

by palpating in the vagina, what can be examined

bladder & urethra			
uterus, uterine tubes & ovaries			
small intestine loops			
rectum			
colon in rectouterine pouch
51
Q

what is the vagina lined with

A

thin walled tube of CT and muscle

lined with stratified squamous epithelium

52
Q

what are the three parts of the broad ligament

A

mesovarium- supports ovary

mesosalpinx- adjacent to uterine tubes

mesometrium- from uterus to lateral pelvic wall

53
Q

what are the female peritoneal pouches

A

recto-uterine

vesico-uterine

54
Q

what does the broad ligament do for the pelvis

A

divides female pelvis into anterior and posterior segments

55
Q

what is the arterial supply to the ovary

A

from the ovarian artery (which is a branch of the aortal)

this artery travels in the suspensory ligament of the ovary

this anastomoses with uterine artery that sends a branch to the ovary

56
Q

what is the arterial supply to the uterus

A

from uterine artery (a branch off the anterior division of the internal iliac)

courses through the broad ligament to the uterus

gives off two branches

  • cervical branch
  • vaginal branches – (main supply to vagina)

gives off two branches towards fundus of uterus
-tubal a and ovarian branch of uterine artery

57
Q

what is the arterial supply of the vagina

A

vaginal branches of the uterine artery

vaginal artery –> usually a terminal branch of inferior vesicle

58
Q

what is the venous drainage of the vagina

via vaginal venous plexus

most drains superiorly
