ERS anat Flashcards
List the organs located in the true pelvic cavity? What supports the organs?
Urinary bladder Rectum Anal canal Female and male reproductive organs Nerves, vessels and lymphatics
Pelvic Diaphragm (PD)
List the main general nerve, blood supply of true pelvic cavity?
Nerve = hypogastric plexus Blood = internal iliac a.
Peritoneal position, shape and mucosal folds of the rectum?
Retroperitoneal
Ampulla = widest and most distendible
3 transverse folds = Valve of Houston: 1 on right, 2 on left
Muscle the maintains continence in the rectum?
Rectal sling = Puborectalis muscle
Structures anterior and posterior to rectum?
Anterior = Rectovesical pouch (male)/ Rectouterine pouch (female)
Posterior = Sacrum, sacral nerves, LN
Blood supply + veins of rectum (3)
Superior rectal artery (Inf. mesenteric a.)»_space; Inferior mesenteric vein
Middle rectal artery (internal iliac a.)»_space; Internal iliac v.
Inferior rectal artery (Internal pudendal a.)»_space; Internal iliac vein
Lymph and nerve supply of rectum?
Lymph: Preaortic, Pararectal, Inferior mesenteric LN
Nerve: Inferior hypogastric plexus
Examination techniques of rectum?
Digital rectal exam
Proctosigmoidoscopy
Colonoscopy
Spread of rectal cancer routes (3)
Posterior = sacral plexus (pain!) Anterior = direct invasion, bladder, prostate, uterus/ vagina Lymph = to liver
Anal canal: Compare mucosa lining, blood supply and vein of Upper and Lower anal canal?
Upper:
- Columnar epi.
- Superior rectal a (inf. mesenteric a.)
- Superior rectal vein (inf. mesenteric v.)
Lower:
- Stratified squamous epi.
- Inferior rectal a.(pudendal a.)
- Inferior rectal v.(internal iliac v)
Anal canal: Upper and Lower parts’ Nerve and LN?
Upper anal:
- Hypogastric plexus (ANS)
- Pararectal nodes
Lower half:
- Inf. rectal nerve (pudendal nerve, somatic)
- Superficial inguinal nodes
Internal and External anal sphincter nerve supply + MUSCLE name ?
Internal = SPHINCTER ANI = circular smooth muscle
= Inf. hypogastric plexus
External = SPHINCTER ANI EXTERNUS
= Perineal branch of S4 nerve + Inferior rectal nerve (pudendal n.)
Clinical outcome of torn Pelvic diaphragm in female? Outcome of torn Urogenital Diaphragm
PD = Prolapse of pelvic visecrea through perineum
UD = urinary incontinence
3 parts of male urethra?
Prostatic urethra: most dilatable, ejaculatory duct
Membranous urethra: within Urogential diaphragm, sphincter = UD
Spongy urethra: longest, ends at Fossa Navicularis
Part of male urethra most prone to damage? Which part has bulbourethral gland?
Membranous urethra: most prone to damage: fixed and narrow
Urogenial diaphragm contains bulbourethal/ greater vestibular gland
Location of prostate and tissue type? Lobes?
Below bladder, Above perineal membrane
Fibromuscular connective tissue
5 lobes: 2 lateral, 1 posterior, 1 median, 1 anterior
Lobes of prostate prone to malignancy?
Posterior lobe = Malignancy, prostatic carcinoma (BATSON PLEXUS TO SPINE)
Median lobe = BPH
Secretion of Prostate? Lobes in relation of ejaculatory duct?
Citric acid
Acid phosphatase
Ejac. duct = between psoteiror and median lobes
Blood supply and vein + Lymph + nerve of prostate?
Blood supply: Inferior vesical a. + Middle rectal a.
Vein: Prostatic plexus > Interional iliac vein
Lymph: Internal iliac LN
Nerve: Inferior hypogastic plexus
Area below Pelvic diaphragm? Artery and nerve supply?
Perineum
= House external genitalia
Divided into superficial and deep perineal space/ pouches
Internal pudenal artery
Pudendal nerve
List the muscles of the pelvic diaphragm.
From medial to lateral:
1) Levator ani muscles:
- Puborectalis (rectal sling)
- Pubococcygeus
- Iliococygeus
2) Coccygeus muscle
Clinical significance of Coccygeus muscle? Nerve supply and action?
Detroyed perineal body/ PD = prolapse of bladder, uterus/ vagina, rectum
Nerve = Sacral nerves (4,5) + pudendal nerve
Action = Support pelvic viscera + sphincter for anarectal junction and vagina
4 parts of uterus and natural position?*
Fundus, Cornu, Body, Cervix
Anteverted + Anteflexed
Primary and secondary support for uterus?
Primary = PD + UD
Secondary:
1) Broad ligament = peritoneum fold, gives rise to mesosalphinx + mesovarium for fallopian tube + ovaries
2) Pelvic Fasciae Condensation: Connective tissue from pelvic wall and floor: - Uterosacral lig. - Pubocrvical lig. - Transverse cervical lig.
