Bony Pelvis and Pelvic Wall Flashcards
1
Q
Pelvis versus Perineum
A
- Pelvis-region of trunk inferoposterior to abdomen, between pelvic brim and pelvic diaphragm
- Perineum-area of trunk between thighs and buttocks, from coccyx to pubis, inferior to the pelvic diaphragm
2
Q
- What are the parts of the bony pelvis?
A
- Paired coxal bones, sacrum, coccyx
3
Q
- What are the components of the pelvic girdle?
A
- Paired coxal bones, joined anteriorly at the pubic symphysis
4
Q
The sacral canal transmits the _
A
- Caudate equina
5
Q
- Spondylolysis
A
- Separation of vertebral arch from vertebral body
6
Q
- Spondylolisthesis
A
- Abnormal anteriorly directed separation of L5 vertebral segment from the sacrum
7
Q
- What forms the superior pelvic aperture?
A
- Located at pelvic brim
- Formed by:
- Sacral promentory
- Superior edge of sacral ala
- Arcuate line of the ilium
- Pectin pubis
- Posterior edge of pubic crest
- Superior edge of pubic symphysis
8
Q
- What forms the inferior pelvic aperture?
A
- Inferior edge of pubic symphysis
- Inferior pubic and ischial rami
- Ischial tuberosities
- Sacrotuberous Ls
- Coccyx
9
Q
_ is the passage between the superior and inferior pelvic aperture
A
- Pelvic canal
10
Q
- Sexual differences in pelves
A
- Males
- Thicker heavier pelvis
- Deeper greater pelvis
- Narrower and deeper lesser pelvis
- Android Pelvic inlet
- Small pelvic outlet
- Narrow pubic arch
- Round obturator foramen
- Large acetabulum
- Females
- Thinner lighter pelvis
- Shallow greater pelvis
- Shallow and wide lesser [elvis
- Gynecoid pelvic inlet
- Large pelvic outlet
- Wide Pubic Arch
- Oval shaped obturator foramen
- Small acetabulum
11
Q
- Android is the _ pelvis
- Gynecoid is the _ pelvis
- Anthroploid is _ pelvis
- Platypelloid is _ pelvis
A
- Male
- Female
- Elongated anterior to posterior
- Elongated laterally
12
Q
- Pelvic _ are important measues obstetrically to determine the capacity of the female to bear a child
A
- Diameters
13
Q
- Pelvic fractures
A
- Almost always involve multiple fractures given that the pelvis is a bony ring and difficult to break in omnly one place
- Superior and inferior pubic rami are often broken on both sides as a result of pelvic fractures
14
Q
- Interpubic disc
A
- Fibrocartilagenous disc between right and left pubic symphyseal surface
15
Q
- What ligaments that are normally present in the vertebrae are absent in L5-sacrum junction
A
- Interspinous L
- Intertransverse L
- Supraspinous L
