|
|
In the pelvis, the sympathetic chain passes _________ to the sacrum
|
anteriorly
|
|
-Located at the site of bifurcation of the IVC and abdominal aorta (L5 level)
|
Superior hypogastric plexus
|
|
S2, S3, S4 join the sympathetic chain at ?
|
Inferior hypogatric plexus
|
|
These travel along either side of the rectum
|
Hypogastric nerves
|
|
Contraction of internal urethral and anal sphincters; contraction of smooth muscle in reproductive glands; ejaculation
All these are performed by what type of nervous innervation? |
Sympathetic innervation
|
|
Where are the preganglionic parasympathetic neurons located in the pelvis (spinal levels)?
|
S2, S3, S4
|
|
Where are the postganglionic parasympathetic neurons located?
|
Target tissues
|
|
Parasympathetic neurons enter through what plexus in the pelvis?
|
Inferior hypogastric plexus
|
|
What kind of innervation performs the following?
-Vasodilation -Bladder Contraction -Erection |
Parasympathetic innervation
|
|
What kind of innervation performs the following?
-are generally vasodilatory; -stimulate bladder contraction; -stimulate erection; and -modulate activity of the enteric nervous system of the colon distal to the left colic flexure |
Parasympathetic
|
|
What kind of innervation performs the following?
-cause contraction of smooth muscle in the internal urethral sphincter in men and the internal anal sphincters in both men and women; -cause smooth muscle contraction associated with the reproductive tract and with the accessory glands of the reproductive system; and -are important in moving secretions from the epididymis and associated glands into the urethra to form semen during ejaculation. |
Sympathetic
|
|
Where does the Aorta bifurcate into the right and left common iliac arteries in the pelvis (spinal levels)?
|
L4-L5
|
|
External iliac artery becomes what artery in the thigh?
|
Femoral artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Posterior: ascends along the lumbar vertebrae |
Iliolumbar artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Posterior: run towards the sacrum |
Lateral sacral artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Posterior: exits the pelvis between the lumbosacral trunk and S1 nerve |
Superior gluteal artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: -runs towards body wall, becomes ligamentous, and reflects off the body wall as the medial umbilical fold -Gives rise to superior vesicular arteries |
Umbilical artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: Runs below the ureter |
Inferior vesicular artery in males
Vaginal artery in females |
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: Runs above the ureter |
Uterine artery in females
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: Runs with the obturator nerve out of the obturator canal |
Obturator artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: -Runs with inferior gluteal artery and exits the pelvis at S2-S3 -Re-enters the pelvis in the lesser sciatic foramen and runs through the pudendal canal in the ischioanal fossa -Gives off inferior rectal branch here |
Internal pudendal artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: -Runs with internal pudendal artery and exits the pelvis at S2-S3, may be difficult to distinguish -Larger artery when compared with internal pudendal artery -Goes to the gluteus maximus |
Inferior gluteal artery
|
|
Internal Iliac – Branches:
Anterior: Only in females—no correlate in males |
Uterine artery
|
