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
passive support structure
tendons and ligaments
functions of pelvic floor
prevents prolapsus
ensure continence
sexual function
defecation
birth
micturition
slow twitch type I
maintain levator ani tone
support pelvic organs
66%
fast twitch type II
34%
activated in stressful situations
what does supporting pelvic organs depends on
PF skeletal muscles
Strong connective tissue
Attachment of structures to pelvic bone
phases of micturition
bladder filling
bladder emptying
preparation for urination
Levator ani and striated urethra sphincter muscles relaxes
Pressure of urethra closure is reduced
Detrusor contracts and bladder neck opens
Micturition mediated by autonomic and somatomotor nerves
When voiding completes levator ani and sphincter muscles contracts
detrusor contraction stops and become ready for filling
urinary system neuroanatomy
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Somatic
sympathetic
T10-L2
Facilitates bladder storage
Hypogastric and pelvic nerves
Parasympathetic nervous system
Perineum sense control
Pelvic nerve S2-S4
Somatic
Prudential nerve
plays peripheral role
1st fullness
40%
1st micturition feeling
60%
Can be delayed
Strong sense of micturition
+90%
constant urge to urinate without fear
Storage function
Active somatic and sympathetic
Suppressed parasympathetic
Loose detrusor
Smooth muscle sphincter
Contracted trigone
Low intensity
Works actively 99%
Discharge function
Parasympathetic are active
Increase of efferent warning
Voluntary voiding by hypothalamus
Detrusor contracts
Relaxed smooth muscles sphincter and trigone
Voiding fnx begins
