the seminal vesicle and the ductus deferens
in either sex, the pelvic diaphragm lies
lateral to the urinary bladder
in females, pelvic & UG diaphragms lie
inferior to urinary bladder (bladder rests on diaphragm)
in males, the prostate lies
inferior to the urinary bladder
ureters take an oblique course through the
bladder wall

"sphincter" preventing backflow of urine when bladder contracts
ligaments that hold urinary bladder, in males
puboprostatic
ligaments that hold urinary bladder, in females
pubovesical

deep perineal space

sphincter urethrae muscle
sphincter urethrae mm innervated by
perineal branch of pudendal n. (somatic innervation)
superior vesical a. is a branch of
umbilical a.; provides several branches to anterosuperior aspect
inferior vesical a. is a branch of
the vaginal a. (in females) or the internal iliac a.
portion of fundus of bladder is supplied by
vaginal a. in females & deferential a. in males
veins of pelvis
names correspond to aa and form vesical plexus
in males, vesical plexus drains to
prostatic plexus
prostatic plexus drains to
internal iliac vein, vertebral venous plexus
in females, vesical plexus drains to
uterovaginal plexus
uterovaginal plexus drains to
internal iliac vein, vertebral venous plexus
urinary bladder, lymphatics - superior surface goes to
external iliac nodes
urinary bladder, lymphatics - fundus goes to
internal iliac nodes
urinary bladder, lymphatics - neck to
sacral & common iliac nodes
mictruition reflex, nn responsible for
parasympathetics (S2-4) & their visceral afferent fibers
mictruition reflex, impulses travel
from stretch receptors within bladder to drosal root ganglia S2-4; parasympathetics act on detrusor to expel urine
sympathetic nn cause
contraction of internal sphincter (smooth muscle) of bladder
sympathetic nn have two routes to bladder
superior hypogastric plexus (main route) and sacral splanchnics (fibers that course down chain ganglia to pelvis)
pain from bladder courses with
visceral afferents that travel with sympathetics (T11-L2)
pudendal n, levels
S2-4
pudendal n, type
somatic
deep perineal n. is a branch of
pudendal n.
deep perineal n. innervates
sphincter urethrae m of deep perineal space
muscle within UGD is
voluntary (external) sphincter
rectum means
straight
rectum begins
at SV3 as continuation of sigmoid colon
rectum passses through pelvic diaphragm and becomes
anal canal (renamed)
rectum is located
in pelvis
anal canal is locates
in perineum (ischioanal fossa of anal triangle)
upper 1/3 of rectum is
retroperitoneal
upper 1/3 of rectum is covered on
anterior & lateral sides only
middle 1/3 of rectum is
retroperitoneal
middle 1/3 of recrum is covered on
anterior surface only
lowest 1/3 of rectum is
inferior to perineum
upper 2/3 of rectum has
serosa
lower 2/3 of rectum has
adventitia
major internal feature of rectum
three transverse folds ("valves of Houston")
function of valves of Houston
support fecal mass
composition of valves of Houston
circular smooth muscle, submucosa, & mucosa; causes curvatures
rectal ampulla is
bulge just superior to pelvic diaphragm
these spread out to form anterior & posterior muscle bands on rectum
teniae coli
anal canal has
90 degree angle, directed posterior, from rectal ampulla due to pubocrectalis m.
internal sphincter of anal canal
involuntary, circular smooth m. and innervated by ANS
extrenal sphincter of anal canal
voluntary, skeletal m. and innervated by inferior rectal n. (branch of pudendal n)
portions of anal canal
subcutaneous, superficial, & deep
Hilton's white line aka
intersphincteric line
Hilton's white line is site
where internal & external sphincters meet
Hilton's white line lies inferior to the
(important) pectinate line (divide line)
longitudinal m passes between
sphincters and some fibers form corrugator cutis ani
superficial part of external sphincter attaches to
perinal body & coccyx
anal columns are
vertical folds of mucosa caused by veins
anal sinuses are
depressions between columns
anal valves connect
bases of contiguous columns by bridging across sinuses
anal valves form
pectinate line, which serves as a "divide" line with respect to vasculature & innervation
arterial supply to rectum & anal canal
superior rectal a, middle rectal a, & inferior rectal a.
superior rectal a. is
