Study Notes
Anatomy of the Rectum, Anal Canal, and Bladder
- The rectum is continuous with the sigmoid colon above and the anal canal below, located immediately anterior to the sacrum and having three lateral curvatures.
- The lower part of the rectum forms the rectal ampulla and lacks distinct taeniae coli muscles, omental appendices, and sacculations.
- The anal canal is an inferior continuation of the rectum, surrounded by the ischioanal fossae, allowing for expansion, and contains the internal and external anal sphincters.
- The superior two-thirds of the anal canal is derived from hindgut, while the inferior third is derived from ectoderm, and it is innervated by both visceral and somatic nerves.
- The blood supply of the anal canal includes the superior rectal vein and artery, middle rectal artery and vein, and inferior rectal artery and vein.
- Internal hemorrhoids occur above the pectinate line and are painless, while external hemorrhoids occur below the pectinate line and are painful.
- The ureters enter the pelvic cavity from the abdomen, cross the pelvic inlet, and continue along the pelvic wall and floor to join the base of the bladder.
- The bladder, when empty, is shaped like a three-sided pyramid and expands into the abdominal cavity when full, with an apex, base, superior surface, and two inferolateral surfaces.
