Q

semen pathway

Study These Flashcards
A

seminferous tubules –> rete testis –> epididymis (head, body, tail) –> vas deferens –> inguinal canal –> behind bladder –> ejaculatory duct –> travels through prostate gland –> prostatic urethra –> membranous urethra –> spongy/penile urethra

22
Q

Where is the scrotum?

Study These Flashcards
A

outside body cavity –> cooler temp

23
Q

What is the fibromuscular sac for testes?

24
Q

What are the layers of the scrotum?

Study These Flashcards
A

skin –> superficial (dartos)fascia –> external spermatic fascia –> cremaster muscle –> internal spermatic fascia (internal oblique) –> parietal layer, tunica vaingalis –> visceral layer, tunica vaginalis –> tunica albuginea

25
Inguinal region?
a
26
Indirect inguinal hernias?
comomnstarts lateral to inferior epigastric artery
27
Direct inguinal hernia?
less commonstarts at MEDIAL to inferior epigastric artery 
28
Spermatic cord path?
deep inguinal ring --> inguinal canal --> superificial inguina ring --> scrotum
29
Structures going to and from testes?
spermatic cord
30
Spermatic cord layers?
internal spermatic fascia: tarnsversalis fascia cremasteric fascia and muscle: internal obliqueexternal spermatic fascia: external oblique aponeurosis
31
Spermatic cord contents?
ductus deferens, testicular artery, artery of ductus deferens, cremaster artery ANS nerve fibers; branch of genitofemoral nerve cremaster muscle, lymph vessels 
32
Erectile tissue - penis?
corpus spongiosum | corpora cavernosa
33
Sympathetic vs parasympathetic?
ejaculation - sympathetic | erection - parasympathetic
34
Fascia of male perineum?
attached to ischiopubic ramus attached to thigh crease attached to posterior border of UG diaphragm continuous w/ fascia of abdomen, scrotum, and penis
35
What is a straddle injury?
rupture of male urethra urine into scrotum, penis, and anterior abdominal wall goes through potential space between superficial and deep fascia NOT int UG triangle or ano-rectal regions
36
What is the perineum?
2 triangles
37
Urogential triangle?
from the pubic symphysis --> ischiopubic ramus
38
Anal triangle?
coccyx, ischial tuberosity, sacrotuberous ligament
39
Urogential triangle - contents?
urethra | external genitalia
40
Anal triangle - contents?
anus
41
Pudendal nerve innervates?
from the greater sciatic nerve ischiocavernosus bulbospongiosus
42
Perineal body?
the central tendon that has attachment points for perineal muscles: bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernous, and superficial transverse perineal m, external anal sphincter m
43
Which muscle helps w/ erection?
bulbospongiosus
44
Superficial transverse perineal m?
attaches to perineal body AND ischial tuberosity
45
What helps decrease pressure in the abdominal cavity?
pelvic floor muscles and the perineal body
46
Superficial transverse perineal m?
surrounds the anus attaches to perineal body helps w/ fecal contents
47
Sensory nerve from the pudendal nerve?
dorsal n of penis
48
What branches off teh pudendal nerve?
perineal n AND the dorsal n of penis
