anatomy of pelvis Flashcards
bladder layers
mucosa
detrusor
adventitia
bladder parts
trigon
trunk
urethra
have smooth muscle fibers
has partially striated muscle fibers
urethra sphincters
external
internal
internal urethra sphincter
Not real
Spiral and circular fibers of detrusor
Under autonomic nervous system
Involuntary actions
Has slow twitch muscles
external urethra sphincter
Real with skeletal muscles
Located in membranous urethra
Under somatic pudendal nervous system
Fast twitch muscles that used for continence and slow twitch that maintain the continence
parts of pelvic floor
rhombic
anterior urogenital triangle
posterior anorectal triangle
linear terminalis
Rhombic part of PF
symphysis pubis
sacrum
ischial spine
linear terminalis
True pelvis=area below
False pelvis=area above
areas of PF
external genital muscles
urogenital diaphragm
pelvic diaphragm
endopelvic fascia
endopelvic fascia
Connects pelvic organ to pelvic lateral walls
Provides support for bladder, urethra, vagina and other pelvic organs
pelvic diaphragm
iliococcygeus
pubococcygeus
puborectalis
ischiococcygeus
collectively known as levator ani muscles
they provide continence
urogenital diaphragm
perineal membrane
support urethra and vagina
external genital muscles
ischiocavernosus= maintain erection
bulbocavernosus= provides clitoris erection
transverse perineal muscles = regulates intraabdominal pressure and support pelvic viscera
active support structure
muscles
