Chapter 16 (Anatomy of the Female Pelvis) Flashcards
Fluid noted posterior to the uterus would most likely be found where?
Pouch of Douglas
The left ovarian vein drains directly into:
the left renal vein
Pelvic bones, when seen sonographically, will produce:
posterior shadowing
The anterior culdesac is AKA
the vesicouterine pouch
The right ovarian vein drains directly into the
IVC
The innominate bones of the pelvis consist of the:
ischium, ilium, and pubic bones
The true pelvis is delineated from the false pelvis by the :
Linea Terminalis
The uterus is located______ to the rectum
anterior
The muscles that may be confused with the ovaries on a sonogram include the:
piriformis and iliopsoas muscles
Pelvic muscles appear ______ sonographically:
hypoechoic
Peritoneal spaces located posterior to the broad ligament are referred to as the :
adnexa
The paired muscles that are located lateral to the uterus and anterior to the iliac crest are the:
iliopsoas muscles
Fluid noted anterior to the uterus would most likely be located within the
vesicouterine pouch
The bilateral muscles that are located posterior to and extend from the sacrum to the femoral greater trochanter are the:
piriformis muscles
The pelvic ligament that provides support to the ovary and extends from the lateral surface of the ovary to the uterus is the :
ovarian ligament
The pelvic muscle group that is located between the coccyx and the pubis is the :
levator ani muscles
The space of Retzius is located:
between the bladder and the pubic bones
The right ovarian artery branches off the
Aorta
The muscle located lateral to the ovaries is the:
obturator internus muscle
Weakening of these muscles may lead to prolapse of the pelvic organs:
levator ani and coccygeus muscles
The arteries that directly supply blood to the functional layer of the endometrium are the:
spiral arteries
Another name for rectourterine pouch is the
Pouch of Douglas
The pelvic ligament that extends from the lateral aspect of the uterus to the sidewalls of the pelvis is the :
broad ligament
The uterine artery branches off of the :
internal iliac artery
The peripheral arteries of the uterus are the:
arcuate arteries
The bladder, uterus, and ovaries are located within the:
true pelvis
The pelvic ligament that provides support to the ovary and extends from the ovary to the lateral surface of the uterus is the :
ovarian ligament
Pelvic bones will appear how sonographically?
hyperechoic
The ligament that houses the vasculature of the uterus is the:
cardinal OR broad ligament
The ovary is supplied blood by the:
ovarian and uterine arteries
