Anatomy Flashcards
sacrotuberous ligament
sacrum and interest on ischial tuberosity
sacrospinous ligament
originates on sacrum and inserts on ischial spine
muscles of pelvic diaphragm
levator ani
coccygeus
levator ani muscles
puborectalis
pubococcygeus
iliococcygeus
puborectalis
origin: superior pubic ramus
insertion: anococcygeal ligament
innervation: S4, inferior anal n
pubococcygeus
origin: pubis lateral to puborectalis
insertion: anococygeal ligament, coccyx
innervation: S4, inferior anal n
iliococcygeus
origin: internal obturator fascial of levator ani (tendinous arch)
insertion: anococcygeal ligament, coccyx
innervation: S4, inferior anal n
coccygeus
origin: sacrum
insertion: ischial spine
innervation: S4-5
muscles of the pelvic wall
piriformis
obturator internus
piriformis
origin: sacrum
insertion: greater trochanter of femur
innervation: S1-2
external rotation and abduction of flexed hip
obturator internus
origin: obturator membrane
insertion: medial greater trochanter of femur
innervation: L5-S1
external rotation and abduction of flexed hip
levator (genital) hiatus
a gap between puborecalis muscles allowing for passage of urethra vagina and rectum into perineum
membranous pelvic fascia
visceral
parietal
visceral pelvic fascia
surrounds organs
parietal pelvic fascia
lines inner surface of muscles of pelvic walls and floor
continuous with transversals fascia and psoas fascia
tendinous arch of pelvic fascia
where pelvic viscera pierce the pelvic diaphragm the parietal and visceral layer merge
runs from pubis to sacrum
endopelvic fascia
loose CT matrix that fills subperiotoneal space between visceral and parietal layers of membranous fascia
allows for dissension of pelvic organs
superior vesical a
in lateral ligament of bladder
uterine a
in cardinal ligament
comes off internal iliac a
vesicouterine pouch
between bladder and uterus
rectouterine pouch of douglas
between uterus and rectum
lowest point of female peritoneal cavity
rectopubic space
between pubic symphsis and bladder
rectorectal space
between rectum and sacrum
rectovaginal septum
separates the rectum and vagina
trace R common iliac
R internal iliac –> R umbilical–> R superior vesical
R ovarian artery and v
in suspensory ligament of ovary off of abdominal aorta at L2
R uterine artery
branch of R internal iliac a
right vaginal a
branch of R internal iliac a
inferior vescial a
arises with middle rectal a off of internal iliac a
anterior division of internal iliac a gives rise to
umbilical a ---> superior vesical a uterine a vaginal a middle rectal internal pudendal
internal pudendal a gives off
inferior rectal - external anal sphincter and skin around anus
perineal a
clitoral a
superior rectal a
branch of inferior mesenteric a
supplies upper rectum and anal canal and anastomoses with middle and inferior rectal a in pelvis and perineum
ovarian v
drain directly into inferior vena cava on R
drain into renal vein ion L
superior rectal v
drains into hepatic portal system through inferior mesenteric v
obturator n
L2-4
doesn’t innervate structures of pelvis but can be injured during surgery
sacral plexus
L4-S4
exit via greater sciatic foramen where they innervate structures in perineum, gluteal region and lower limb
pudendal n
S2-4
mixed sensory and motor n
branches: inferior retal, perienal n, clitoral n
uterovaginal rectal plexus
from inferior hypogastric plexus
ovarian ligament
connects ovary to supra lateral aspect of uterus
suspensory ligament of ovary
carries ovarian vessels and n
mesovarium
suspends ovary from posterior par of broad ligament
lymphatic vessels of ovary
superiorly to the lateral attic nodes
innervation of ovary
ovarian plexus (follows ovarian vessels) and pelvic plexus (follows pelvic vessels)
parts of fallopian tubes
intramural (most medial)
isthmus
ampulla
infundibulum (most lateral)
