What is the superficial inguinal ring?
Opening in the external oblique aponeurosis
What is the deep inguinal ring?
Opening in the fascia transversalis (lateral)
From what is the cremaster muscle derived and what is its innervation?
From internal oblique muscle, innervated by genitofemoral N.
What is Chordee?
When penis points sharply in one direction at the end of the shaft
What is the epididymus?
Comma shaped structure for the maturation of sperm
Where is the epididymus located?
Posterolateral aspect of testes
What does the epididymus give rise to?
Gives rise to the vas deferens that will ascend in spermatic cord and join with the seminal vesicles to form ejaculatory duct that empties into prostatic urethra.
What are the two muscles of thermoregulation for the testicles and what are their specific functions?
Cremaster muscle: Elevation fo testes
Dartos muscle: Wrinkles scrotum
What are the 2 coverings of the testicles and what kind of covering does each provide?
Tunica vaginalis: Serous covering
Tunica albuginea: “white covering”
What are the 4 segments of the urethra in males?
- ) PREprostatic urethra (before it enters prostate)
- ) Prostatic urethra (as it passes through prostate)
- ) Membranous urethra (as it passes through the urogenital diaphragm which is in the deep perineal pouch
- ) Spongy urethra/penile urethra (as it passes into the corpus spongiosum)
What muscle is responsible for erection and where does it start?
Corpus spongiosum, crus of the penis
Erection and ejaculation are controlled by which aspects of the autonomic nervous system?
