Summary

The teaching session, delivered by Sophia Raja in collaboration between PreClinEazy and Cardiff Medsoc, gives a detailed analysis of the reproductive anatomy. The course revisits the structures of the pelvic cavity and then drills down into male and female reproductive anatomy, with high-yield, single best answer (SBA) questions for review. Points of focus include key aspects of the male reproductive system, such as the prostate and the mechanism contributing to erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, the session explores potential causes of urinary retention and implications of an enlarged prostate. The session provides a comprehensive representation of the biological facets of both genders and is beneficial for professionals interested in urology, gynecology, and internal medicine alike.

Learning objectives

  1. By the end of the session, the learner should be able to understand and identify key aspects of the male reproductive anatomy, including the structure of the penis and the blood supply to this region.
  2. The learner should be able to evaluate and discuss the potential causes of urinary conditions related to the prostate, including benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis.
  3. The learner should be able to assess potential causes of erectile dysfunction, and identify the arterial supply that is primarily affected in most cases.
  4. The learner should be able to understand the implications of reproductive system tumours, including the most likely implicated lymph nodes in testicular cancer cases.
  5. The learner should be able to recap and apply their knowledge of the pelvic cavity, its parts and contents, as well as differentiate between the true and false pelvis in clinical scenarios.

Contains Perineum urinary, GI and reproductive elements Boundaries: pubic symphysis, ischial tuberosities, coccyx Urogenital triangle: perineal membrane, external genitalia, Perineum: inferior to the pelvic diaphragm (levator ani & urethra coccygeus muscles), external genitalia and external openings of GU and GI systems Anal triangle: pelvic diaphragm, anal apertureMALE REPRODUCTIVE ANATOMY Question 1 Identify labels A, B and C B C A A – Membranous urethra B – Corpus spongiosum A C – Corpus Cavernosum A – Spongy urethra Identify labels A, B and C B – Corpus spongiosum B C – Corpus Cavernosum B A – Corpus spongiosum C B – Spongy urethra INSERT KEY POINT C – Corpus Cavernosum A – Spongy urethra D B – Corpus cavernosum A C C – Corpus spongiosum A – Prostatic urethra B – Corpus cavernosum E C – Corpus spongiosum A – Membranous urethra A – Spongy urethra B – Corpus spongiosum A C – Corpus Cavernosum D B – Corpus cavernosum C – Corpus spongiosum A – Spongy urethra B B – Corpus spongiosum C – Corpus Cavernosum A – Corpus spongiosum C B – Spongy urethra C – Corpus Cavernosum A – Prostatic urethra E B – Corpus cavernosum C – Corpus spongiosum Structure of the penis MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM • root – attaches to abdomen • Body/ shaft – this is where the corpus cavernosum and spongiosum Urethra reside • Glans – cone shaped “head” of penis • Pre-prostatic – 1cm; from base of bladder to prostate • Prostatic – 3-4cm; surrounded by prostate • Corpus cavernosa and spongiosum become engorged with blood to allow penetration of the vagina • Membranous – passes through deep perineal pouch • Spongy/ penile - surrounded by corpus spongiosum Question 2 A 65 year old man presents to his GP with difficulty urinating.
