Chapter 16 - Anatomy Of Female Pelvis Flashcards
major artery responsible for supplying the abdomen, pelvis and lower extremities with oxygenated blood
abdominal aorta
peritoneal outpocuhing located between the bladder and the uterus ; also referred to as VESCIUTERINE POUCH
anterior-cul-de-sac
peripheral arteries of the uterus that lie at the edge of myometrium
arcuate arteries
pelvic ligament that extends from the lateral aspect of the uterus to the side walls of pelvis
broad ligament
pelvic ligament that extends from the lateral surface of the cervix to the lateral fornix of the vagina and houses the uterine vasculature
Cardinal ligament
pelvic muscle located posteriorly within the pelvis that helps support the sacrum
coccyges
abdominal aorta bifurcation vessels
common iliac arteries
external branch of the common iliac arteries
external iliac arteries
superior portion pelvis
false pelvis
bilateral muscles located lateral to the uterus and anterior to iliac crest
ilipsosas muscles
internal branches of the common iliac arteries
internal iliac arteries
hammock shaped pelvic muscles located between coccyx and pubis Consisting of the iliococcygeous , pubococcygeous and puberoectalis
Levator ani muscles
imaginary line that separate the true from false pelvis
linea terminalis
paired pelvic muscles located lateral to ovaries
obturator interns muscles
pelvic ligaments that provide support to ovary extending from ovary to the lateral surface of uterus
ovarian ligaments
– group of pelvic muscles consisting of the levator ani and coccygeous muscles provide support to the pelvic organs
pelvic diaphragm
– paired pelfic muscles located posteriorly that extends from the sacrum to the femoral greater trachonater
Priformis muscles
condition that results from weaking of the pelvic diaphgram muscles and allows for displacement of the uterus, often. Through vagina
Prolapse
arteries that supply blood to the deepr layers of the myometrium
Radial arteries
– peritoneal outpouching located between the uterus and rectum, also referred to as posterior cul de sac and pouch of douglas
rectouterine pouch
paired anterior abdominal muscles that extend from the xhipoid process of the sternum to the pubic bone
Rectus abdominis muscles
– extraperitoneal space located between the bladder and symphysis pubis that contains fat
Space of Retzius
iny,coiled arteries that supply blood to the functional layer of the endometrium
Spiral arteries
uterine radial artey branch that supplied blood to the basal layer of the endometrium
Straight arteries
– pelvic ligament that provides support to the ovary and extends from the ovaries to pelvic side walls
Supsenosry ligament of ovary
inferior portion of pelvis that contain , uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes , urinary bladder, small bowel , sigmoid colon and rectum
True pelvis
– branches of the internal iliac artery that supply blood to the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes
Uterine arteries
