16
Q

What two nerves innervate the mons pubis and labia majora?

A

Genitofemoral

Ilioinguinal

17
Q

What nerve innervates the skin above the pubis?

A

Iliohypogastric nerve

18
Q

Round ligament enters inguinal canal and inserts into what structure?

A

mons pubis

19
Q

The ovaries are covered by thin white capsule called?

A

tunica albuginea

20
Q

What are the structures that support the uterus?

A
  • Pelvic floor muscles.
  • Bladder.
  • Lateral cardinal ligaments.
  • Mesometrium portion of broad ligament.
  • Round ligaments.
  • Uterosacral ligaments.
21
Q

What is the blood supply of the uterine wall?

A

Uterine artery—> arcuate artery—> radial artery

22
Q

No glands in vaginal mucosa – lubricated by?

A

cervical mucous glands

23
Q

Name the three layers of the vaginal sheath?

A
  1. adventitia;
  2. muscularis;
  3. Mucosa – marked by rugae .
24
Q

The uterine wall has three layers what are these?

A
  • Perimetrium: visceral peritoneum
  • Myometrium: thick muscular
  • Endometrium: mucosal
25
Q

Within the endometrial layer of the uterine wall there are two important layers, what are these?

A
  • Stratum functionalis “functional layer”

* Stratum basalis “basal layer”

26
Q

Ovarian arteries branch from what?

A

Abdominal aorta

27
Q

The uterine arteries which branches to form the vaginal arteries are branches of which major artery?

A

Internal iliac artery

28
Q

Which two arteries anastomose to provide collateral circulation from abdominal and pelvic sources?

A

Ovarian and uterine arteries

29
Q

Describe the nut-cracker phenomenon?

A

• Superior mesenteric artery overlies the left renal vein.
• Left renal vein drains left ovary, left sides of uterus, bladder,
vagina, urethra, rectum.
• Congestion of organs and collateral vessels can cause pain.

30
Q

The pudendal nerve comes from what levels and what is its major site of Innervation?

A

S2-S4 sacral plexus

Main nerve to innervate the perineum

31
Q

What nerve does chief sensory nerve of the external genitalia?

A

Pudendal nerve

32
Q

Describe the route of the pudendal nerve?

A

it leaves the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen between the piriformis and coccygeus muscles. It then hooks around the ischial spine and sacrospinous ligament and enters the perineum through the lesser sciatic foramen

33
Q

What is endometriosis?

A

• Endometrium growing outside uterus.

• Pain: severe cramping on both sides of pelvis, radiating down
lower back and rectal area and down legs.

34
Q

What dermatome does endometriosis direct pain to?

A

T12-L2 (uterus above pelvis pain line)

35
Q

What is uterine fibroids causing sciatica?

A

Fibroids forming in the uterus, causing it to enlarge and press on the sciatic nerve, because above pelvic pain line sends visceral afferents so T12-L2 dermatome
