URETHRA

 Urethra
Preprostatic
  • Intramural


Prostatic
  • widest
  • most dilatable
  • spindle shaped
  • cross section-----horse shoe shaped
  • urethral crest/veru montanum
  • On either side of the crest is a slightly depressed fossa, the prostatic sinus; the floor of which is perforated by numerous apertures, the orifices of the prostatic ducts from the lateral lobes of the prostate;
  • At the forepart of the urethral crest, below its summit, is a median elevation, the colliculus seminalis


Membranous
  • pases through external urethral sphincter
  • narrowest part (except external orifice)
  • surrounded by fibres of sphincter uethrae
  • shortest
  • least dilatable
  • ducts of bulbo-urethral glands enter here


Spongy
(penile + bulbar)
  • Longest
  • in corpus spongiosum
  • ducts from urethral/littrre’s glands
  • 2 parts

                            1.        bulbous
                            2.       pendulous
external urethral orifice
5mm

Type of epithelium lining
Preprostatic
transitional epithelium
Prostatic
transitional epithelium
Membranous
pseudo stratified columnar
Spongy
(penile + bulbar)
proximally---pseudostratified columnar
distally ----stratified squamous
external urethral orifice

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE of URETHRA

Posterior urethra
§      Proximal 2/3rd  of female urethra
§      Prostatic  & membranous parts of male urethra

    ·         External iliac
    ·           Obturator(along internal pudendal a.)
    ·         Internal iliac(Hypogastric)
    ·         Presacral
Anterior urethra
§        Distal 1/3rd of female urethra  
§       Bulbous & penile /spongy/distal urethra in males
superficial inguinal LN à deep inguinal LN à external iliac LNàLateral aortic
Whole of female urethra drains mainly into------------- internal iliac nodes

Skeletal muscle relaxants


shoulder joint


Muscles acting at shoulder joint
Flexion
   §  Clavicular head of pectoralis major
   §  Anterior fibres of deltoid
   §  Coracobrachialis
Extension
   §  Posterior fibres of deltoid
   §  Teres major
   §  Lattisimus dorsii
Abduction
   §  Supraspinatous
   §  Deltoid
Adduction
   §  Pectoralis major
   §  Teres major
   §  Lattisimus dorsi
Medial rotation
   §  Pectoralis major
   §  Teres major
   §  Latissimus dorsi
   §  Subscapularis

Lateral rotation
   §  Infraspinatus
   §  Teres minor
   §  Posterior fibres of deltoid


Movements during shoulder abduction
o   Lateral rotation of scapula
o   Elevation of humerus
o   Movements at clavicular end of sterno-clavicular joint
o   Axial rotation of humerus at acromioclavicular joint
o   For every 3o abduction, 2o abduction occurs in shoulder joint ,1o abduction occurs by lateral/forward  rotation of scapula
o   Abduction is initiated by supra spinatus but main abductor is deltoid



Shoulder abduction
For every 15O of abduction,  shoulder joint contributes 10O but girdle contributes 5O(in the ratio of 2:1)
After 90O abduction,this ratio is reversed
Supraspinatus –initiates abduction of shoulder  & assisted by middle fibres of deltoid
First 90-120  degrees of shoulder abduction takes place at ----------- glenohumeral joint
After this fixation is NOT d/t  bony interlocking b/w greater tuberosity and acromion d/t no further articular surface  available on humerus
Abduction of shoulder > 90  degree requires --------------- rotation of scapula(achieved by contraction of trapezius & serratus anterior)
Stages of shoulder abduction--------
§  Stages I –initial 15 to 30O --------supraspinatous
§  Stage II—30 to  90-120O----------deltoid (acromial fibres)
§  Stage III(Hyperabduction)—90-120 to 180O------- trapezius,serratus anterior

From 120-150O----------- infraspinatus is more active than supraspinatous

RUNYON CLASSIFICATION


Runyon classification

Slowly growing Mycobacteria

Runyon IV: Rapid Growers


Runyon I: Photochromogens
produce a yellow-orange pigment when exposed to light
§  Mycobacterium simiae Mycobacterium asiaticum
§   
colonies in 5 days
do not produce pigment. 
Some rapidly growing mycobacteria are considered "late-pigmenting"

Runyon II: Scotochromogens
produce a yellow-orange pigment in light or in the dark. Some become darker with exposure to light


Runyon III: Nonchromogenic

do not produce pigment
some may produce very pale yellow, buff, or tan pigment but do not intensify upon light exposure
