Superior adrenal artery - from inferior phrenic artery
Middle adrenal artery - from the AA
Inferior adrenal artery - from the renal artery

34

36
Q

A

1) the uteropelvic junction (helim of the kidney)
2. where it crosses the pelvic brim over the common illiac artery
3. the utero vesical junction (entrance to the bladder)

37
Q

Where are kidney stones most likley to be found?
Why?

A

The three constrictions of the ureter
The renal calcyces
The renal pelvis

Due to their narrower diamter

38
Q

What is the ureter blood supply?

A

Abdominally from the common illiac mainly
Middle - gonadal arteries branches (contributes to above and below)
pelvic region - internal illiac or vesical artery branches

39
Q

What is the function of the bladder?

A

Temporary storage or urine and assist in expulsion of urine

40
Q

What features allows the bladder to accomodate up to 400-600ml of urine?

A

Folded internal lining - rugae - allow expansion of bladder wall

41
Q

What are the external features of the bladder?

A

Apex - points superiorly towards the pubic symphysis
Body - main part located between the apex and the fundus
Fundus of base - triangle shape most posteriorly
Neck - formed by convergence of fundus and the two inferolateral surfaces, is continuous with the urethra

42
Q

Where do the ureters open into the bladder?

A

Enter by orifices, in the fundus of the bladder
Orficies are marked internally by the trigone (smooth muscle wall due to different embryological origin) enter at an angle and are relatively superior.

43
Q

What is the key musculature in the bladder?

A

Detrusor muscle - smooth muscles orientated in multiple direction so retains structural integrity when stretched

44
Q

When might the detrusor mucsle become hypertrophic?

A

Conditions that onstruct urin flow such as prostate enlargement
Increase work of detrusor to generate more flow to help pass urine

45
Q

What is the main arterial supply of the bladder?

A

Superior vesical branch of the internal illiac artery is found in both sexes - may also have contribution from the obturator and inferior gluteal arteries
Females - contribution from vaginal artery
Males - inferior vesical artery

46
Q

What is the venous drainage of the bladder?

A

Vesical venous plexus - empties into the internal illiac veins
Males - this is continuous with the prostate venous plexus in teh retropubic space (recives blood from dorsal vein of penis)

47
Q

How does the bladder shape change when filling?

A

Extend superiorly - becomes suprapubic

48
Q

How does the bladder shape change during pregnancy?

A

Early - increased urination due to growing foetus
Mid pregnancy - little change - may return to normal
Later pregnancy - increased urination - as foetus descends
Due to expansion of uterus, push the bladder anteriorly and inferiorly but pulled with umbilcus by the median umbilical ligament so becomes narrow/flattend. The urethra become streteched and distored. Muscles of the bladder become less effective - lead to stress incontinence - as are stretched

49
Q

What are the different peritoneal pouches?

A

Females
Rectouterine - between uterus and rectum
Vesicouterine - between uterus and rectum

Males
Rectovesical - between rectum and bladder

50
Q

What is the location of the internal urethral sphincter?

A

Males - circular smooth muscle, autonomic control located in neck of bladder wall as fuses with urethra

Females - functional sphincter (no muscle), formed by the bladder neck and the proximal urtethra

51
Q

What is the location of the external urethra sphincter?

A

Skeletal muscle found in the perineal membrane

52
Q

What is the innervation to the bladder?

A

Sympathetic - hypogastric nerve T12-L2 relax detrusor
Parasympathetic - pelvic splanchinc nerve S2,3,4
Somatic - internal pudendal nerve S2,3,4 - contract external urethral sphincter
Sensory afferents - from brain to bladder

53
Q

What ligaments hold the proximal urethra/ neck of bladder in place?

A

Females - pubovescial ligaments
Males - puboprostate ligaments
Wraps around the urethra and anchors to the pubic bone

54
Q

Describe the passage of the female urethra?

A

4cm long
Curved course
Pass inferiorly through the pelvic floor into the perineum, passes through the deep perineal pouch and perineal membrane (receives conncetionf from paraurethral gland) before opening into the vestibule between labia minora
Opening is superior and posterior to the clitoris, anterior to vagina

55
Q

Describe the passage of the a=male urethra.

A

Long - 20 cm
Bends twice along course
Pass through prostate, deep perineal pouch, perineal membrane and immediately etners the root of the penis by being anteriorly in its course (this angle changes when the penis is flaccid)
Has a pre-pubic and infrapubic angle - this creates a 90 degree angle between the membranous and spongy urethra

56
Q

What are the different sections of the male urethra?

A

Preprosatic
Prostatic - pass through prostate
Membranous - through perineal membrane
Spongy or penile

Q

What are the different angles of the uterus?

A

Anteflexion - describes how body of uterus points anteriorly and superiorly over the bladder
Angle of anteversion - angle pointing inferiorly from the cervix to the vaginal canal

63
Q

What are the different terms used to describe the location of the uterus?

A

Retroversion - fundus points superiorly - increased risk of prolaspe
Retroflexion - fundus points posteriorly, can compress onto rectum
