the (retroperitoneum or peri-
toneum) layer.
2. What borders the prostate Ant = pubic bone
gland? (A-P & S-I) Post = rectum
Sup = bladder
Inf = urogenital diaphragm
3. What artery supplies the Inferior vesical artery
prostate gland & has branch-
es from the internal iliac
artery?
4. Apex Inferior portion just superior to the urogenital diaphragm
5. Base Superior portion just below the inferior margin of the bladder
6. Seminal vesicles 2 sac-like out-pouchings of the vas deferens b/t the bladder
and rectum & adjacent to the superior/posterior prostate
7. Ejaculatory ducts pass thru the central zone & empties into urethra
8. Verumontanum longitudinal ridge in the urethra that the ejaculatory ducts are
adjacent to
9. Corpora amylacea calcifications commonly seen in the inner gland of the prostate
10. Surgical capsule demarcation b/t the inner(central/transitional) & outer(pe-
ripheral) gland

develop prostate cancer than
white males?
23. What does the genetic 1st degree relative = 2-3 x greater risk of developing cancer
make-up of a patient have to
do with prostate cancer likeli-
hood?
24. PSA Prostate specific antigen
Enzyme that increases with age, prostate volume, cancer, BPH,
prostatitis
25. PAP Prostatic acid phosphatase
Enzyme that increases with carcinoma (& other conditions)
26. What is the classic sono- hypoechoic, peripherally-oriented lesion
graphic appearance of
prostate cancer?
27. Lesion directed biopsy Method of prostate biopsy
Based on sonographic lesion
Poor detection rate
