Q

muscle - Bulbospongiosus (Male)

what is its main action?

A

Relaxed when peeing but contacts to stop urine flow. Aids in fully emptying the urethra after urination. Contacts rhythmically during ejaculation to create a series of wave-like contractions within the corpus spongiosum, this facilitates movement of ejaculate through urethra, constrictions veins in bulb of penis to maintain erection

Q

muscle - Bulbospongiosus (Female)

what is its main action?

A

Contributes to clitoral erection and the contraction of orgasm, and closes the vagina. Serves to empty the canal of the urethra after the bladder has expelled its contents, its relaxed during peeing and only contracts at the end

31
Q

What are the 3 parts of the male urethra?

A

preprostatic

prostatic

spongy part

32
Q

Which are the widest and narrowest parts of the male urethra and why?

A

Widest part = Prostatic – receives ejaculatory ducts and prostatic ducts

Narrowest part = membranous – runs through pelvic floor and is enclosed by the external urethral sphincter

33
Q

the urethra is at risk of becoming narrowed due to enlargement of what?

A

the prostate

34
Q

The male external genitalia comprise of what?

A

the testes, scrotum and penis

35
Q

The penis is the male organ of copulation and is the common outlet for both urine and semen

It comprises of the left and right corpus _______ and single corpus _______. The terminal aspect of the penis is the glans penis, covered by the prepuce (foreskin) and provides transit for the urethra via the external urethral meatus.

A

cavernosa

spongiosum

36
Q

The corpus cavernosa is covered by a fascial layer called the what?

A

tunica albuginea

37
Q

The urethra is transmitted through the corpus….

A

spongiosum

below the corpus cavernosa and in the middle of corpus spongiosum

38
Q

he majority of the erectile tissue in the penis is in the corpus…..

A

cavernosa

39
Q

Sensory innervation of the penis is through the dorsal nerve of the penis, a branch of the ________ nerve

A

pudendal

40
Q

Where is the internal/vesical urethral sphincter located?

A

proximal end of the urethra at the neck of the bladder

41
Q

Internal urethral pshincter - Is it voluntary or involuntary? What is its innervation?

A

involuntary

sympathetic T10-L2

42
Q

Where is the external urethral sphincter found in females?

A

deep perineal pouch at distal inferior boarder of bladder

43
Q

Where is the external urethral sphincter found in males?

A

surrounds the membranous part of the urethra

44
Q

extenral urethral sphincter - Is the sphincter voluntary or involuntary? What is its innervation?

A

voluntary

S2-4

45
Q

Clinical – Urinary Incontinence:
In both the male and female urinary incontinence can develop due to disruption to one or both of the above.

The aging process ________ the urinary sphincters making incontinence more likely, however other factors can contribute to this

In males any form of ______ surgery to overcome urinary retention can make urinary incontinence more likely

In the female ________ can weaken the ligaments supporting the pelvic floor, and can increase the risk of incontinence

A

prostatic

childbirth

weakens

46
Q

Female External Genitalia:

The vulva is the collective name for the female external genitalia.

The contents of the vulva are:

A
  1. Mons pubis
  2. Labia majora
  3. Labia minora
  4. Vestibule
  5. Bartholins gland
  6. Clitoris

These structures are collective supplied by the pudendal nerve, and internal pudendal artery

47
Q

The vestibule is the area enclosed by the _____ minora and contains the terminal aspects of the ______ and ______

A

labia

vagina

urethra

48
Q

what is the clitoris?

A

Mirroring the corpus cavernosa in the male, the clitoris is the erectile tissue found within the female external genitalia

It is comprised of 2 crura, which meet in the midline to form the body. This then projects downwards to the prepuce and glans which lies in the anterior labial commissure

There is no equivalent of the corpus spongiosum in females

49
Q

what is the anal triangle and what does it contain?

A

The anal triangle is the area between the ischial spines and coccyx (see the green triangle on page 1). It contains the terminal part of the gastro-intestinal tract, the anus.

50
Q

The anus runs from the rectum to the external environment and is approx. 4cm long.

There are 2 sphincters controlling defaecation

The internal sphincter under ________ control and the external sphincter under _________ control.

Somatic sensation extends upwards from the external environment to the inter-sphincteric groove (the ‘white line’)

A

involuntary

voluntary

51
Q

Lateral to the anal canal and inferior to the pelvic floor are 2 fat containing fossa called the _______________. These allow the anal canal to expand during defaecation.

What structures are present in this bundle?

What structures do these neurovascular structures supply?

A

internal pudendal artery

internal pudendal vein

pudendal nerve
