Q

prostate cancer

A

not overall hypertrophy
instead localized tumor may/may not compress urethra
slow-growing, but if metastasizes spreads FAST
digital rectal exam feels posterior half

Q

uterine tubes aka?
attached to ovaries?
what anchors tubes to uterus?

A

oviducts/fallopian tubes (open into perit)

no, via ovarian ligament

20
Q

borders looking into base of cervix

A

A/P/lateral vaginal fornices

21
Q

broad ligament components

A

mesometrium (att to sides of uterus)
mesosalpinx (covers tubes)
mesovarium (covers ovary)

22
Q

suspensory ligament of the ovary

A

fold in the peritoneum surrounds ovarian artery projects up toward aorta

23
Q

muscular flexures of rectum serve what purpose?

A

maintain fecal continence

24
Q

sphincters

A
internal involuntary (symp contracts, PS relaxes)
external voluntary
25
Q

internal iliac artery

A

aorta –> R/L common iliac –> each goes ext/int iliac

26
Q

arteries to body wall, limbs, perineum (6)

A

iliolumbar & lateral sacral
sup & inf gluteal
obturator
internal pudendal

27
Q

arteries to pelvic viscera (5)

A

umbilical
sup vesicular
inf vesicular (M)/uterine (F)
middle/inf rectal

28
Q

bladder blood supply

A
sup vesicular
inf vesicular (M) / uterine (F)
29
Q

uterus/ovary blood supply

A

uterine artery via internal iliac

ovary: aorta

30
Q

water under the bridge

A

ureter travels inferior to blood vessels

31
Q

rectum blood supply (via 3)

A

superior rectal via inf mesenteric
middle rectal via int iliac
inferior rectal via int pudendal

32
Q

pectinate line separates?

*can see as a white line

A

meeting of endoderm/ectoderm
no mesoderm in between

superior = inf mesenteric, PORTAL venous system, visceromotor/visceral afferents, internal iliac nodes
inferior = internal iliac, CAVAL system, somatomotor/general sensory, superficial inguinal nodes

also determines internal vs. external hemorrhoids

33
Q

sacral plexus branches from where?

A

spinal nerves L4/5, S1-S4
sensory, sm, sympathetics
to perineum, gluteal region, posterior thigh, leg, foot

34
Q

hypogastric plexuses

A

superior: just inf to aortic bifurcation

hypogastric nerves continue along rectum and become inferior

35
Q

pelvic plexuses RUVP

A

rectal, vesicular, prostatic (M), uterovaginal (F)

36
Q

sympathetics to pelvic viscera

A

lumbar/sacral splanchnics

come off symp chain ganglia

37
Q

lumbar/sacral splanchs go to which plexuses?

A

superior HP

inferior HP

38
Q

parasympathetic to pelvic viscera

exit via which rami?

A
pelvic splanchnics (S2-4)
exit via ventral rami into plexuses
39
Q

pelvic nerves to descending colon/sup rectum?

A

superior HP

40
Q

pelvic nerves to bladder/uterus/inf rectum/erectile tissues?

A

inferior HP

41
Q

visceral afferents run w (pain vs. reflexes)?

A

pain –> sympathetics
reflexes –> parasympathetics

superior to pain line follow sympathetics
inferior to pain line follows parasympathetics
reflexes follow same path, this only applies to pain sensation onlynhf

42
Q

3 bones comprising pelvic inlet

A

symphysis
iliopectineal lines
sacral promontory

43
Q

3 bones comprising pelvic outlet

A

pubic arch
ischial tuberosities
coccyx

44
Q

the sacrum is tipped in which direction in females?

A

more posteriorly

45
Q

watch out for which fibers during a prostatectomy/hysterectomy?

A

nervi erigentes (erection of clitoris/penis)

46
Q

what happens below the pain line that is contradictory?

A

pain fibers follow parasympathetics

inferior bladder, urethra, cervix, vagina, inferior sigmoid colon, RECTUM
