Bony Structure Flashcards
Which bones make up the bony pelvis
Two hip bones (innominate bones)
- Ilium
- ischium
- pubis
Sacrum (5 fused vertebrae)
Coccyx - 4 fused vertebrae
Where do the three parts of the Innominate Bone meet
Acetabulum
When does fusion happen of the innominate bone
puberty
What bones make up the pelvic girdle
Hib bones and sacrum
What are the layers of the pelvic walls formed by
Bones of bony pelvis
Ligaments
Muscles
Fascia
Describe the boundaries of the pelvic cavity
Sup:
- Pelvic Inlet
- Inf. aspect of abdominal cavity
Inf:
-Pelvic Floor
Ant:
- Pubic bones
- Pubic Symphysis
Post:
- Sacrum and Coccyx
- Adjacent ilia
Lat:
- Hip bones
- Obturator Foramen
Describe the pelvic inlet
Defined by an oblique plane
Extends from promontory to the superior aspect of pubic symphysis
Surrounded by pelvic brim
What makes up the pelvic brim
- Sacral Promontory and Ala
- Arcuate line of ilium
- Pectineal line of pubic (pecten pubis)
- Pubic crest
- Superior edge of pubic symphysis
What is the pelvic outlet bounded by
- Tip of coccyx **
- Sacrotuberous ligaments
- Inferior Ischiopubic rami and ischial tuberosities
- Inferior edge of pubic symphysis
What is the pelvic cavity divided into? Describe.
True (minor) pelvic cavity:
- Between pelvic inlet and outlet
- Contains the pelvic viscera
Fase (major) pelvic cavity:
- Lies above pelvic brim
- Between iliac fossa
- Contains part part of ileum and sigmoid colon
What are the joints of the pelvis
Lumbosacral joints
Sacroiliac joint
Pubic Symphysis
Sacrococcygeal Joint
Describe the Lumbosacral joints
- Between L5 and S1
- Simply the intervertebral joint
Describe the Sacroiliac joint
- Between sacrum and ileum
- Atypical synovial joint
- Movement limited
- Stabilized by sacroiliac ligaments
- Roughened surfaces
Describe the Pubic Symphysis
- Union of bodies of right and left pubic bones
- Secondary carilaginous joint
- Fibrocartilaginous interpubic disc in joint
= Relaxin acts on the joint during pregnancy
Describe the Sacrococcygeal Joint
Secondary cartilaginous joint
