REPRODUCTIVE- Anatomy Flashcards
How is the left gonadal venous drainage?
Left ovary/testis → left gonadal vein → left renal vein → IVC
How is the right gonadal venous drainage?
Rigth ovary/testis → right gonadal vein → IVC
Characteristic of left spermatic vein
Enters the left renal vein at a 90º angle, flow is less continuous on the left than on the right
In which side is more common the varicocele? and Why?
Enters the left renal vein at a 90º angle, flow is less continuous on the left than on the right → left venous pressure > right venous pressure → varcicocele more common on the left
How is the lymphatic drainage of ovaries/testes?
Ovaries/testes → Para-aortic lymph nodes
How is the lymphatic drainage of distal vagina/vulva/scrotum?
Vagina/vulva/scrotum → superficial inguinal nodes
How is the lymphatic drainage of vagina/uterus?
Vagina/ uterus → Obturator, external iliac and hypogastric nodes
Alternative name for Infundibulopelvic ligament
Suspensory ligament of the ovaries
What does Infundibulopelvic ligament connects?
Ovaries to lateral pelvic wall
Which structures are contained in Infundibulopelvic ligament?
Ovarian vesseils
Which ligament need to be ligated during oophorectomy to avoid bleeding?
Infundibulopelvic ligament (Suspensory ligament of the ovaries)
What risk is taken when ligation of Infundibulopelvic ligament?
Ureter courses retroperitoneally, close to gonadal vessels. At risk of injury during ligation of ovarian vessels
What does Cardinal ligament connects?
Cervix to side wall of pelvis
Which ligament contains Uterine vessels?
Cardinal ligament
What risk is taken when Cardinal ligament ligation?
Ureter at risk of injury during ligation of uterine vessels in hysterectomy
This ligament goes from Uterine fundus to labia majora
Round ligament
Which ligaments derive from Gubernaculum?
Round ligament
Ovarian ligament
Which is the travel of Round ligament?
Travels through round inguinal canal; above the artery of Sampson
What does Broad ligament connects?
Uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to pelvic side wall
Structures contained in Broad ligament

Components of Broad ligament
Mesosalpinx, mesometrium and mesovarium
Medial pole of ovary to lateral uterus
Ovarian ligament
