25
What are the boundaries of the pelvic outlet/inferior pelvic aperture?
anteriorly: pubic arch (inferior to pubic symphysis) laterally: ischial tuberosities posterolaterally: sacrotuberous L posteriorly: tip of coccyx
26
Describe lumbosacral joints
- IV disc b/t L5 and sacrum - zygapophyseal joints b/t L5 and S1 -->allows for greater movement and contributes to the lumbar curve of the spine
27
What ligament stabilizes L5 vertebra on the sacrum by anchoring its TP to the iliac crest?
iliolumbar L -->goes across the top of the ileum from the sacrum/L5
28
What ligament limits forward motion of L5 vertebra?
iliolumbar L
29
What is an atypical IV joint that occurs b/t S5 and the coccyx?
sacrococcygeal joint
30
What makes up the sacrococcygeal joint?
IV disc-->posterior movement of coccyx during defecation and childbirth A and P sacrococcygeal Ls-->stabilize
31
What do the inferior pubic (arcuate) and superior pubic ligaments reinforce?
pubic symphysis
32
What type of joint is the sacroiliac joint?
synovial
33
What ligaments stabilize the sacroiliac joint?
- interosseous sacroiliac L - posterior sacroiliac L - iliolumbar L - sacrotuberous L - sacrospinous L
34
Where is the sacroiliac joint located?
between lateral sacrum (S1-3) and internal surface of ileum -->posterior to iliac fossa
35
What lie in the same vertical plane in terms of the pelvic girdle in anatomical position?
R and L ASIS anterior aspect of pubic symphysis
36
What forms the anteroinferior wall of the pelvic cavity?
- bodies and rami of pubic bones | - pubic symphysis
37
What is the fxn of the anterioinferior wall?
bears weight of urinary bladder
38
What forms the lateral walls of the pelvic cavity?
2 hip bones
39
What muscles cover the lateral pelvic walls?
obturator internus M -->tendons pass through lesser sciatic foramen to attach to greater trochanter
40
What is the fxn of the medial surfaces of obturator internus M?
covered by obturator fascia which provides attachment for the pelvic diaphragm
41
What forms the posterior wall of the pelvic cavity?
sacrum and coccyx | -->form bony wall and roof in midline
42
What forms the posterolateral walls of the pelvic cavity?
- ligaments associated with the SI joints | - piriformis Ms
43
What forms the pelvic floor/ floor of the pelvic cavity?
pelvic diaphragm | -->coccygeus and levator ani Ms and associated fascia
44
What is the fxn of the pelvic diaphragm?
separates true pelvis from perineum
45
What is the O/I of piriformis?
lateral masses S2-4 and sacrotuberous L--> greater trochanter of femur
46
What is the action of piriformis M?
exits pelvis via greater sciatic foramen -->LATERAL rotation of thigh
47
What innervates piriformis M?
N to piriformis (S1-2)
48
What is the O/I of obturator internus M?
anterolateral wall of pelvic minor and obturator membrane-->greater trochanter of femur
49
What is the action of obturator internus M?
exits pelvis via lesser sciatic foramen -->LATERAL rotation of thigh
50
What innervates obturator internus M?
nerve to obturator internus (L5-S1)
51
What perforates the pelvic diaphragm?
-urethra and anal canal -->also vagina in females
52
What is the largest and most important part of the pelvic diaphragm?
levator ani M -->pubic bone to coccyx, joints other M midline @ perineal body
53
What M is funnel shaped and separates the pelvic cavity from the perineum?
levator ani
54
What makes up the levator ani M?
1: pubococcygeus - ->pubis to coccyx and anococcygeal L 2: puborectalis - ->pubis, posterior to encircle anorectal jxn - -> U shaped sling 3: iliococcygeus - ->tendinous arch and ischial spine to coccyx and anococcygeal L
55
What forms a U shaped sling of muscle that is medial and inferior to pubococcygeus?
puborectalis M of levator ani -->increases angle b/t rectum and anal canal to maintain continence

What is the dual innervation of levator ani M?
superior surface: S3-4 inferior surface: inferior rectal N (S2-4)
57
What are the actions of levator ani M?
- support pelvic viscera - resists inferior thrust - raises pelvic floor in forced exhalation, coughing, vomiting, urination, lifting heavy objects - maintains bowel continence and prevents defecation through angle of puborectalis M (increases angle b/t rectum and anal canal)
58
What M forms the posterior portion of the pelvic diaphragm?
coccygeus M ischial spines and sacrospinous L--> lateral anterior sacrum and coccyx
