Study Notes
Nerves Related to the Female Reproductive System
- The pudendal nerve is located within 1-2 cm of the lateral fornix of the vagina, providing sensory and motor functions to the area.
- The pelvic splanchnic nerves supply the lower vagina and contribute to autonomic functions.
- The inferior hypogastric plexus provides sensory innervation to the lower parts of the urinary and digestive tracts.
- The vagus nerve is involved in providing sensory supply to the internal genitalia and contributes to lower abdominal sensations.
Ligaments and Muscular Support
- The pubococcygeus muscle stretches across the triangular anterior portion of the pelvic outlet, providing structural support.
- The transverse cervical ligament is a strong, muscular membrane that reinforces the supportive structure of the pelvic outlet.
- The urogenital diaphragm and associated pelvic floor muscles support and surround the lower parts of the urinary and digestive tracts.
Blood Supply
- Internal pudendal arteries supply blood to the external genitalia of the female reproductive system, ensuring adequate vascularization for function and health.
- Uterine and ovarian arteries are responsible for supplying the internal genitalia, vital for reproductive health.
Sensory and Motor Innervation
- The dorsal nerve of the clitoris, a branch of the pudendal nerve, is responsible for the sensory supply to the external genitalia, including the clitoris.
- Motor supply to the vaginal sphincter is provided by the perineal branches of the pudendal nerve.
- The sympathetic fibers from the inferior hypogastric plexus also contribute to the motor innervation of the vaginal sphincter.
Lymphatic Drainage
- Superficial inguinal lymph nodes are involved in the drainage of the clitoris and external genitalia, playing a crucial role in immune response and fluid balance.
- The internal iliac lymph nodes assist in draining the internal genitalia.
Glands
- The Bartholin's glands are responsible for lubricating the vestibule of the female external genitalia, facilitating comfort during sexual activity.
Additional Notes
- Understanding the complex interplay of nerves, blood vessels, and ligaments is essential for comprehending the functional anatomy of the female reproductive system.
- Distinct nerve pathways are important for the sensation and motor control of both external and internal structures, highlighting the integrated nature of reproductive and urinary systems.
