1
Q

Where are the kidneys and proximal ureters?

A

Abdomen

2
Q

Where are the distal ureters, bladder and proximal urethra?

A

Pelvis

3
Q

Where is the distal urethra?

A

Perineum

4
Q

Where do the ureters pass?

A

From the retroperitoneum, through the false pelvis and into the true pelvis

5
Q

Where is the false pelvis?

A

The false pelvis is from the iliac crests to the pelvic inlet
The false pelvis is part of the abdominal cavity

6
Q

Where is the true pelvis?

A

From the pelvic inlet to the pelvic floor

7
Q

Where is the bladder?

A

Pelvic cavity

8
Q

Pelvic floor muscles?

A

Levator ani

9
Q

Urethra passes through where?

A

Through the pelvic floor and into the perineum

10
Q

Where do the ureters pass in relation to the common iliac vessels?

A

The ureters pass anterior to the common iliac vessels to enter the pelvis

11
Q

At what level to the ureters turn medially to enter the posterior aspect of the bladder?

A

The ureters turn medially at the level of the ischial spine to enter the posterior aspect of the bladder

12
Q

In which direction do the ureters enter the posterior bladder wall?

A

The ureters enter the posterior bladder wall in an inferomedial direction
-helps prevent reflux of urine back into the ureters when the bladder contracts

13
Q

Most inferior part of the male peritoneal cavity?

A

Rectovesicle pouch

14
Q

Most inferior par of the female pertioneal cavity?

A

Rectouterine puch

15
Q

What is the vesico-uterine pouch?

A

The pouch between the bladder and the uterus

16
Q

The ureter in reference to the vas deferens?

A

The ureter runs inferiorly to the vas deferens

17
Q

“water under the bridge”

A

In females, the ureter enters the bladder by passing UNDER the uterine artery

18
Q

Uterine artery is a branch of what?

A

The uterine artery is a branch of the internal iliac

19
Q

What gives branches to the pelvic organs, gluteal region and perinuem?

A

The internal iliac gives branches to the pelvic organs, gluteal region and perineum

20
Q

Arteries to the bladder?

A

Vesical arteries

-the postatic arteries are often branches from the vesical arteries

21
Q

Middle rectal artery is a branch of which artery?

A

The internal iliac

22
Q

Bladder wall formed by which muscle?

A

Detrusor muscle

23
Q

In the male bladder, which muscle also forms the internal urethral sphincter muscle and what is the function of this sphincter?

A

The detrusor muscle forms the internal urethral sphincter muscle and this contracts during ejaculation to prevent retrograde ejaculation

24
Q

An empty bladder? where does it lie?

A

An empty bladder lies within the pelvis

The peritoneum covers its superior surface only

25
Q

A full bladder can extend out of where?

-Where does the superior part lie?

A

A full bladder can extend out of the pelvis

  • The superior part lies superior to the pubic bone
  • peritoneum still only covers the superior surface
26
Q

2 routes of catheterising a patient?

A

Urethral (more common)

Suprapubic (through anterior abdominal wall, avoiding peritoneal cavity)

27
Q

Roughly how long is the female urethra?

A

The female urethra is approximately 4cm long

28
Q

How long is the male urethra?

A

20cm long

29
Q

Where is the spongy urethra?

A

Within the corpus spngiosum

30
Q

What type of muscle makes the external urethral sphincter?

A

Skeletal muscle

31
Q

Where is the spongy urethra?

A

Within the corpus spongiosum

32
Q

What travels through the spermatic cord?

A
Testicular artery
Testicular vein
Vas deferens
Lymphatic vessels
Nerves (autonomic--> vas deferens, somatic --> cremaster muscle)
33
Q

Nerve supply to vas deferens

A

Autonomic

34
Q

Nerve supply to cremaster muscle?

A

Somatic

35
Q

The sac that the testis sit within?

A

The tunica vaginalis

36
Q

Excess fluid within the tunica vaginalis?

A

Hydrocele

37
Q

Where can the epididymis be palpated?

A

Epididymis can be palpated at posterior aspect of testis

38
Q

Where can the vas deferens be palpated?

A

The vas deferens can be palpated within the spermatic cord

-in scrotum, superior to testis

39
Q

The route of sperm?

A

Vas deferens passes superiorly in spermatic cord, to deep inguinal rung

  • at deep inguinal ring, the vas deferens turns medially into the pelvis
  • it then travels posterior to bladder
40
Q

Through which ducts do the glandular secretions from the prostate drain into the prostatic urethra?

A

Prostatic ducts

41
Q

Ejaculatory duct

A

Combined duct of the vas deferens and the duct from the seminal gland

42
Q

Most cancers arise from which part of the prostate gland?

A

Most cancers arise from the peripheral zone of the postate gland

43
Q

How can you feel the peripheral part of the prostate gland?

A

You can feel the peripheral zone of the porstate on rectal examination

44
Q

Where does the root of the penis attach to?

A

The ischium of pelvis

45
Q

What does the corpus cavernosum transmit?

A

The deep arteries of the penis

46
Q

What does the corpus spongiosum transmit?

A

The spongy urethra
