Perfectly

What structures are associated with the ureters in femals

crossed by uterine artery

Where do ureters enter the bladder

posterolateral edge

What is the blood supply to the ureters

variable; renal, gonadal, common and internal iliacs, uterine vessels

What is the inenrvation to the ureters

T10-L2 | renal, aortic, hypogastric plexuses

What is the lymphatic drainage of the ureters

superior: lumbar inferior: external internal iliac

What are the surfaces of the bladder

``` apex trigone base inferolateral neck ```

What is the relationship between the bladder and pubic symphysis

bladder can be approached over the pubic symphysis (suprapubic lithotomy)

What is cystitis

bladder infection

Why are females more likely to experience cystitis

short urethra

Where is the retropubic space found

anterior to bladder | behind pubic bone

What are the structures that work to stabilize the bladder neck

thickening of endopelvic fascia

What is the thickenign of endopelvic fascia in women called

pubovesical

What is the thickening of endopelvic fascia in men called

puboprostatic

What is the structure that works to stabilize the posterior bladder

rectovesical ligaments

What is the structure to stabilize the anterior bladder

median umbilical ligament

What does the median umbilical ligament attach the bladder to

umbilicus

What is the trigone

smooth part of bladder

What is the trigone formed from

incorporation of mesonephric ducts

What is the internal surface of the bladder

trigone: mucosa | detrusor muscle

What is the main muscle of the bladder and what is its function

detrusor muscle | expands as bladder fills and contracts by parasympathetic stimulation

What is the blood supply to the bladder

superior vesicle inferior vesicle (males) vaginal (female)

What is the venous drainage of the bladder

vesical venous plexus | prostatic venous plexus

What is the innervation of the bladder

L1+L2 sympathetic pelvic splanchnic motor to detrusor

What is the lymphatic drainage of the bladder

external and internal iliac nodes

What are the 4 different parts of the male urethra

preprostatic prostatic membraneous spongy

Where is preprostatic found

trigone to start of prostate | surrounded by internal sphincter

Where is the prostatic urethra found

inside the prostate

Where is the membranous urethra found

surround by external urethral sphincter urogenital diaphragm

Where is the spongy urethra found

in corpus spongiosum

What openings are seen in the spongy urethra

bulbourethral glands numerous pit-like recesses

What does the spongy urethra widen to form

navicular fossa

What is the blood supply to the male urethra

internal pudendal inferior vesicle middle rectal

Where will the female urethra run

bladder through deep pouch, perineal membrane, and opens into vestibule anterior to vaginal opening

What openings will be found in the female urethra

urethral glands | paraurethral ducts

What viscera composes the male reproductive tract

ductus deferens epididymis testes seminal vesicle

Where does lymph from the testes drain to

lumbar

What nerves innervate the scrotum

genital branch of genital femoral and ilioingual pudendal nerve in posterior

When will the ductus deferns enter the true pelvis

after it traverses the inguinal canal and leaves the deep ring

What is the ductus deferens directly continuous with

epididymis

What is the function of the seminal vesicle

provides bulk of volume to semen

What does the seminal vesicle and ductus deferens make

ejaculatory ducts

Where is the terminal opening of the ejaculatory ducts

seminal colliculus

Where are the bulbourethral glands found

deep perineal pouch

posterior lobe

What structure is at risk of constriction in BPH

prostatic urethra

What is the urethral crest

extension of the trigone down into the prostatic urethra

What is the seminal colliculus

large bump in the middle of the prostatic urethra

What structures are seen on the seminal colliculus

prostatic utricle | openings of ejaculatory ducts

What is the prostatic utricle

embryologic remnant of the vagina

Where is the prostatic sinus found

either side of the colliculus

What is the prostatic sinus

openings of prostatic ducts

What is the blood supply of the prostate

inferior vesicle, internal pudendal, middle rectal

What is the venous drainage of the prostate

prostatic venous plexus vesicular plexus internal vertebral plexus

What is the innervation of the prostate

inferior hypogastric plexus | pelvic splanchnic
