Bony Pelvis and Pelvic Wall Flashcards
What divides the abdomen from the pelvis?
What makes up the pelvic brim?
Pelvic Brim
arcuate line (of the ilium)
Pectin Pubis (pectineal line of the pubis)
What is the false pelvis?
what iso linger just going to refer the pelvic as?
really just still abdomen. its from the iliac crest to the pelvic brim. it’s also called the “greater” pelvis
Olinger will be saying the pelvis is from pelvic brim to pelvic diaphragm
Perineum is what?
inferior to the pelvic diaphragm, inferior to the pelvis.
are the three bones of the os coxae? (innominate)
Ilium, Ischium, pubis
what structures on the ilium do we care about?
auricular surface of the ilium
iliac crest
iliac spines
What structures do we care about on the pubis?
Body
2 branches –> a branch that sends to the ilium and one that sends to the ischium.. so we have a “superior and inferior pubic ramus”
on the body itself there’s a symphyseal surface, a pubic crest, and pubic tubercle
What’s the difference between pubic crest and pubic tubercle
there’s a ridge going inwards = crest
outside of the crest on the lateral side = tubercle
What attaches to the pubic tubercle?
Inguinal Ligament
What can we find on the superior pubic ramus? (3)
Pectin Pubis (pectineal line of the pubis)
little boney ridge called the obturator crest, and below that is the obturator groove.
What does the ischium have?
what does the 2nd structure separate?
the body of the ischium has the ischial tuberosity
Ischial Spine.
the greater and lesser sciatic notch
why is the ischiopubic ramus confusing?
it’s a little area of overlap where the inferior pubic ramus meets up with the ischial ramus and because some muscles are coming from the area between these two we come up with ischiopubic ramus.
If we were to take the arcuate line and the pectin pubis, what would we call that?
linea terminalis
Arch vs angle?
to note about women and men?
arch is the boney feature, the angle at which the arch exists…
women have bigger angles because you need to put a baby through
anterior surface of the sacrum?
4 pairs of anterior sacral foramina
little lines that used to be intervertebral discs but you have these ridges called “transverse lines”
What’s to note on the lateral surfaces of the sacrum?
Auricular surface that meets up with the auricular surface at the ilium.
Spondylolisthesis? what about in terms of this class?
L5 can do this off of S1
Separation of the vertebral arch from the vertebral body.
What are the openings of the pelvis?
superior pelvic aperture = at the pelvic brim
inferior pelvic aperture = stretching between inferior edge of the pubic symphysis and the tip of the coccyx
passage way between apertures is the pelvic canal
difference between male and female pelvises?
“which of these holes would it be easier to squash a baby through”
male: thicker, heavier, deeper greater pelvis, narrower lesser pelvis, android pelvic inlet, smaller pelvic outlet. narrower pubic arch, so smaller angle.
What’s to note about obturator foramens and acetabulum and men and women?
males have a more round obturator foramen, and a larger acetabulum
women has more oval and smaller acetabulum.
Gynecoid?
android?
Platypelloid
anthropoid
more female looking pelvic canal (much wider)
android (more narrow, you see the os coxae pointing in, the sacrum pointing in)
if you squash the pelvis from anterior to posterior direction
squash from lateral to medial
Anthropoid and Platypelloid?
female wanting to give birth but they have one of these shapes, they may not be good for vaginal childbirth.
Conjugates?
“pelvic diameters” –> important measurements obstetrically to determine the capacity of a female to bear a child.
Pelvic fractures?
we’ve made a big boney ring, it usually breaks in multiple places, including BOTH PUBIC RAMI usually
What is the only cartilage of the boney pelvis?
cartilaginous disc between the two pubic bones of the pubic symphysis called the “interpubic disc”
Lumbosacral Joint
what ligaments are there and where is it located? (3)
between L5 and the sacrum
Anterior Longitudinal Ligament –> along the anterior surface between L5 and the sacrum
Posterior Longitudinal –> out of the vertebral canal on the back of the vertebral body running down into the sacral canal… “Wallpapering the anterior part of the sacral canal”
Ligamentum Flavum –> running off the anterior surface of the vertebral lamina, wallpapering the posterior wall of the sacral canal.
