General Objectives
- Identify the testes, epididymis, spermatic cord and how the testis descend during fetal life with a basic understanding of the inguinal canal. Describe the layers which cover both the testes and the spermatic cord. Identify the content of the spermatic cord and understand the course of the vas deferens.
- Understand blood supply, lymph drainage and innervation of the testis.
- Understand the descend of the testes and the formation of inguinal canal with a focus on direct and indirect inguinal hernia.
- Understand the seminal vesicles, its duct and the ejaculatory duct.
- Identify and understand the prostate, its lobes, blood supply, lymphatic drainage and innervation.
- Describe the penis (root, body, glans penis and prepuce or foreskin) corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum. Identify bulbouretheral glands (cowper's glands), blood supply lymphatic drainage and innervation of the penis.
- Understand mechanism of erection and ejaculation.
- Identify the ovary, its descent during fetal life and its blood supply, lymphatic drainage and innervation.
- Understand the peritoneal folds in the pelvis with a focus on the rectovaginal (rectouterine) pouch (pouch of Douglas) and uterovesical pouch. Identify the broad ligament, round ligament of the ovary (ovarian ligament) and round ligament of the uterus. Identify the mesosalpinx, mesovarium and suspensory ligament of the ovary.
- Identify the fallopian tube (uterine tube) its parts (infundibulum, with its fimbriae, ampulla, isthmus and intramural or intrauterine part) and its function. Identify both abdominal and uterine ostium and understand how the peritoneal cavity is an open cavity in female and its role in pelvic inflammatory diseases. Understand how ectopic pregnancy can happen in the fallopian tube and in the peritoneal cavity.
- Identify the uterus, its parts (fundus, body and cervix), position (version and flexion), layers of the uterus, blood supply, lymphatic drainage and innervation of the uterus.
- Understand support of the uterus with a focus on pelvic floor muscles (pelvic diaphragm), transverse cervical (cardinal), pubocervical and sacrocervical(uterosacral) ligaments.
- Understand the vagina, its fornices, layers, blood supply, nerve supply and lymphatic drainage.
- Understand external genitalia in female with a focus on labia majora and minora, hymen, clitoris their innervation, blood supply and lymphatic drainage. Identify paraurethral glands (Skene glands) and Bartholin glands (greater vestibular glands).
