  137. what areas allow for expansion of the rectum?
    • males- retrovesical pouch
    • females- retrouterine pouch
    • 2 pararectal fossa
  138. defication
    • Ns thru pelvic splanchnic N
    • 1. empy ampulla
    • -internal sphincter contracted
    • -external sphincter relaxed
    • 2. sufficiently full ampulla
    • -internal sphincter relaxes
    • -external sphincter contracts
    • 3. during defication
    • -voluntary override of external sphincter contraction
    • -parasymps increase peristalsis
  139. rectal examination
    • palpation of prostate, seminal vesicals, cervix, bony processes
    • protoscope= camera in butt
  140. boundries of ischioanal fossa
    • lateral- ischium and obturator internus
    • medial- anal canal
    • posterior- sacrotuberous lig and gluteus maximus
    • anterior- external utethral sphincter and deep transverse perineal M
  141. pudendal canal
    • lateral wall of ischioanal fossa
    • contains internal pudendal A/V, pudendal N and N to obturator internus
  142. internal pudendal A
    • inferior rectal A- external anal sphincter
    • perineal A- to scrotum, labia, bulb of penis/vestibule
    • deep A of penis/clitoris- erectile tissue
    • dorsal A of penis/clitoris
  143. pudendal N
    • inferior rectal N- external anal sphincter
    • perineal N- superficial and deep perineal Ns
    • dorsal N or penis/clitoris
  144. anal canal
    • pelvic diaphragm to anus
    • normally collapsed
    • internal anal sphincter- smooth muscle, involuntary control, normally contracted
    • external anal sphincter- skeletal muscle, volunary control, blends with puborectalis, N: inferior rectal N
  145. anal columns
    • in inferior anal canal
    • longitudinal ridges of mucosa
    • anorectal junction- superior ends of anal columns
    • anal valves- inferior ends of anal columns
    • anal sinuses- recesses just superior to valves
    • pectinate line- formed by anal valves
  146. anal canal continued
    • A: superior rectal A above pecinate line
    • inferior rectal A below pectinate line
    • V: hepatic portal system above pectinate line
    • inferior rectal and internal pudendal below pectinate line
    • N: autonomic above pectinate line= inferior hypogastric plexus
    • symps to internal anal sphincter maintain tonus
    • parasymps relax the internal anal sphincter
    • somatic below pectinate line- inferior rectal N
    • motor to external anal phincter
  147. hemorrhoids
    • dialated, prolapsed Vs
    • internal- breakdown of muscularis mucosa
    • external- covered by skin
  148. sex differences in pelves
    • males
    • heavier and thicker
    • narrow and deep lesser pelvis
    • subpubic angle 60 degrees
    • females
    • wider and shallower
    • larger pelvic inlet and pelvic outlet
    • subpubic angle 90 degree
  149. erection
    • parasymps via cavernous N to deep A of penis
    • -cause relaxation of tunic media in deep A of penis
    • -increases blood flow into corpus spongiosus and cavernosum
    • bulbospongiosus M and ischiocavernosus M contract
    • -compresses venous plexuses reducing drainage from penis
    • -erectile tisssue becomes engorged
  150. emission
    • sypathetics cause peristalsis in ductus deferens and accessory glands
    • -sperm delivered to prostatic urethra
    • -seminal vesicals and prostate add gluid to produce semen
  151. ejaculation
    • contraction of bulbospongiosus M expels semen through spongy urethra
    • -internal urethral sphincter closes
    • after ejaculation, symp cuase constriction of tunica media in deep A and things return to normal
