Three parts of the pelvis and what do they consist of
Bowl: hip bones + sacrum
Joints: sacroilic and symphysis
Girdle: hip bones + some sacrum
What are three functions of the pelvis
Support and protect viscera, provide muscle attatchment site, supports weight of upper body
What are the two parts of the basin
Pelvic inlet and outlet
What is superior to pelvic inlet
False or greater pelvis (IGF)
What is inferior to pelvic inlet
True or lesser pelvis
What makes up the pelvic inlet
Pubic crest, sacral promontory, pectineal line, arcuate line
What makes up the pelvic outlet
Apex of coccyx, ischial tuberosities, pubic symphysis
Classify pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint
1) symphysis: fibrocartilage 2) sacroiliac: ant (synovial) and post (fibrous)
Name the posterior pelvic ligaments
1) sacrotuberous 2) posterior sacroiliac ligament 3) sacrospinous
Name the anterior pelvic ligaments
1) interosseous sacroiliac 2) anterior sacroiliac ligament 3) illiolumbar
Weight transfer through pelvis four steps
Weight pushes sacrum inferiorly
Sacrum becomes ‘wedged’ in
Irregular joint surfaces interlock
Ligaments come under tension
What causes the sacroiliac joint to move
External forces
Overall movement of the sacroiliac
Slight gliding and rotation
Define nutation
Anterior rotation of superior sacrum
Define counter nutation
Anterior rotation of inferior sacrum
Nutation is resisted by which ligaments
Sacrotuberous and sacrospinous
Define form closure
How passive structures contribute to the stability of joints
Define force closure
How active structures contribute to the stability of joints
What structures does form closure consist of
Ligaments, gravity, rigid structures
What structures does force closure consist of
Muscles and fascia
Purpose of form closure
Create rigid interlocking surfaces
Purpose of force closure
Enhances compression of joints
What muscles produce pelvic drop around AP axis
Ipsilateral gluteus maximus, contralateral EO and IO, contralateral hip adductors
What muscles produce anterior pelvic tilt around AP axis
Erector spinae, hip flexors
What muscles produce pelvic rotation to the R
Left EO, Right IO, Left hip lateral rotators, right hip medial rotators
What movement does the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous resist
Nutation
What is meant by true vs false pelvic
Anything above pelvic inlet is an accessory
What are three factors that contribte to form closure
Shape of joint surface, tension in ligaments, keystone like wedge shape of sacrum
What is contralateral vs ipsilateral
Controlateral: opposite
Ipsilateral: same
Is contralateral abduction or adduction in drop (acronym)
Contalateral: adduction (CODD contralateral, opposite, adduction, drop)
During lift and drop which side of the pelvic is adduction
Higher side: adduction (smaller angle)
What is the windlass effect
The plantar fascia supports the foot during weight bearing activities
What are the three sections of pelvic organs
1) Lower urinary tract 2) reproductive 3) lower GIT
What do the three sections of the pelvic organs consist of
1) Bladder & urethera 2) uterus & prostate 3) rectum & anal canal
Explain the pelvic floor
Dome shaped muscular sheet seperating the pelvic cavity and perineal region below
What is the pelvic floor made up of
Muscle and fascia
What are the four functions of pelvic floor
Supports pelvic viscera
Contributes to increase intra abdominal pressure
Acts as sphincters for the passageways through the pelvis
Assists in childbirth: forms a ‘gutter’
What is the endopelvic fascia made up of
Webs of
1) loose connective tissue
2) adipose tissue
3) smooth muscle
What are the two functions of endopelvic fascia
Maintains organ placement, conduit for passageway of nerves and blood to organs
Explain the location of the perineum
Between pubic symphysis and coccyx
What is the perineum made up of
1) Perineal body
2) Skeletal muscle & fascia
3) Urogenital and anal triangle
What muscles make up the peroneal muscle categories
1) ischiocavernosus, bulbospongiosus, super and deep transverse perineal
2) external anal sphincter
List the two categories of peroneal muscles
1) Urogenital triangle 2) anal triangle
What are the three functions of peroneal muscles
1) Provid added closure to vagina & anus
2) support and fix perineal body
3) maintain erection of penis
What is the perineal body
Irregular fibromuscular mass
Where is the perineal body located
Midline between anus and vagina/penis
What is the perineal body a site of attatchment for
Bulbospongiosus
What are the muscles of the pelvic floor supplied by
Nerve to levator ani (slight input from pudenal nerve)
What are the muscles of the perineum supplied by
Pudinal nerve (slight input from nerve to levator ani)
In terms of blood supply what do arteries and viens have
1) Arteries (branches) 2) Viens (tributaries)
What are the three aortic branches
1) Arch of aorta
2) descending aorta
3) common iliac arteries
How do deep viens run
Run with arteries but in the opposite direction
What are vena commitantes
Two+ small viens that match with the artery
What is anastomose in terms of superficial viens
Communication
Two reasons of significance of having two sets of viens
1) Two ways to return blood to heart
2) Temperature control
Purpose of retinacula in lower leg
Hold the tendons in place and prevent bow stringing
Superior and inferior extensor retinaculumbinds to which muscle’s tendons
TA, EHL, EDL, FT (anterior muscle group)
Two types of peroneal retinacula
Superior and inferior peroneal retinaculum
The peroneal retinacula binds down which two muscles tendons
PL and PB (lateral muscle group)
What does the flexor retinaculumconvert bony grooves into and why
Into canals for the TP, FHL, FDL (posterior deep muscle groups) tendons
Purpose of synovial sheaths
Facilitate sliding of the tendons
Origin and insertions of intrinsic vs extrinsic foot muscles
Intrinsic: both in foot
Extrinsic: origin leg and insertion foot
Three functions of plantar aponeurosis of the foot
