Quiz 6 Flashcards
Urinary bladder
Hollow, muscular, & distensible/elastic organ
Sits on pelvic floor
Collects urine from kidneys (<500ml at a time)
Micturition (peeing) occurs @ 200ml
External urethral muscle
Striated
Surrounds urethra
Voluntary sphincter to retain urine
Innervated by pudendal nerve
Anatomy of female reproductive system
Uterine horns Ovaries Uterus Cervix Vagina Vestibule Clitoris Vulva
Cervix
Caudal portion of uterus
Vagina
Located between cervix and vestibule
Clitoris
Female homologue of penis, located in floor of vestibule near vulva
Vulva
External part of female reproductive tract
Includes the two labia
Anal sacs
Also called: sinus paranalis Pea-marble shaped Located between inner smooth & outer striated sphincter muscles Glands exist in walls Function: territorial scent marking
Prostate gland
Accessory sex gland
Completely surrounds neck of bladder & beginning of urethra
Urethra runs through center of prostate gland
urethra
Composed of: Pelvic part (within pelvis) Penile part (within penis)
Urethral crest
Lumen area of the pelvic urethra where deferent ducts open into
Glans
Bulbus glandis
Pars longa glandis
Os penis
Prepuce
Bulbus glandis
Surrounds proximal end of os penis
Corpus spongiosum tissue
Highly vascularized tissue
Swells upon thrusting (creates “coital tie” during copulation)
Pars longa glandis
Overlaps the distal half of bulbus glandis to the end
Partially encircles os penis & urethra
Separated from bulbus glandis by connective tissue
Os penis
Ventral groove, passage of urethra
Lies within the glans
Bone ends as pointed fibrocartilage, dorsal to urethral opening (protection)
Prepuce
Tubular sheath (fold of skin) reflected over glans Has fornix of prepuce
Fornix of prepuce
Internal layer reflected onto the glans
Innervation of penis
Sympathetic: hypogastric n.
Parasympathetic: pelvic n.
Sensory: pudendal n. (branch of sacral plexus)
Penis
Contains:
Root
Body
Glans
Root of penis
Formed by l. & r. crura originating at ischiatic tuberosities Composed of corpus cavernous tissue Ends at body of penis Muscles: Ichiocavernosus m. (skeletal) Retractor penis m. (smooth & striated) Bulbospongiosus m. (skeletal)
Corpus cavernous tissue
Supplied by deep a. of penis
Surrounded by tunica albuginea
Body of penis
Extends from root to glans (caudal to prepuce)
Corpus cavernosum tissue
Median septum separates l. & r. crus
Ventral groove contains corpus spongiosum tissue surrounding urethra
Flexible region
Arteries of pelvic limb
Lateral circumflex femoral a. Deep femoral a. Caudal femoral a. Caudal gluteal a. Cranial tibial a. Popliteal a. Distal caudal femoral a.
Lateral circumflex femoral a.
Innervate: cranial thigh muscles (extension of stifle: quadriceps femoris)
Nerve supply: femoral n.
