Cobine Male Pelvis Anatomy Flashcards
The pelvis is divided into 2 regions,the superior and the inferior. Which is considered the false pelvis and which is considered the true?
superior/greater= false pelvis
inferior/lesser=true pelvis
The inlet to the pelvis continous with the (Blank)
abdominal cavity and encircled by bone
the outlet to the pelvis is formed by the boundaries of the (blank)
perineum
What does does the pelvis contain?
the bladder, rectum, anal canal, and most of reproductive tract
What supports the structures of the pelvis?
the pelvic floor
What is the anchoring site for external genitalia (erectile and muscle structures)?
pelvis
What connects axial and appendicular skeletons, aids in locomotion and is an attachment site for muscles?
pelvis
What is the most superior part of the bony pelvis?
the illium
What is the posterior and inferior part of the bony pelvis?
ischium
What is the anterior and inferior part of the bony pelvis?
the pubis
What is the origin of inguinal ligament and sartorius muscle?
anterior superior illiac spine
Where is the attachment of lower limb muscles and support during sitting?
ischial tuberosity
Where is the attachment of the inguinal ligament (not origin, but attachment)
pubic tubercle
What fits into the acetabulum?
the sacral spinal ligament and the femur
How is the pelvis tilted?
forward, so pubis is further down.
What bones give rise to the obturator foramen?
the ischium and pubic bone
What gives rise to the obturator membrane?
obterator internus
Everything inferior to pelvic brim (linea terminalis) is called the (blank)
pelvic part
What is the sacrum made up of?
5 fused vertebra
The posterior aspect of the sacrum has a (blank) where the spinal cord passes down. Inferior to the sacrum is the (blank)
canal
coccyx
What is the sacral promonotory?
the thick ridge on the superior aspect of the S1 vertebrae
At the (blank) vertebrae you have articular processes to articulate with the pelvic bone?
L5
What makes the pelvic rim?
the linea terminalis
What is the line terminalis made up of?
pecinal line (pecten pubis)
arcuate line
Sacral promontory
Who has a bigger pubic angle, males or females?
females duhhhh have to give birth
Who has inverted ischial tuberosities, males or females?
males
Who has a deep/ taller pubic symphsis?
males
What is a males pelvic inlet like?
oriented anteroposterioly
Are the iliac wings more or less flared in males?
less flared
is the pelvic inlet bigger or smaller in males and what is the overall shape of it?
it is smaller and heart shaped
How re the ischial tuberosities oriented in a female and what is the pubic symphysis like?
everted
thicker and shorter
What is the overall shape of the femal inlet?
oval
What is the widest part of the pelvis?
True obstetrical conjugate
What is the sagittal inlet?
it is the true obestrical conjugate
The point from pubic symphysis to sacral promontory
What is the bispinous outlet?
space between ischial spines (9cm)
What is the sagittal outlet?
between tip of coccyx and inferior margin of pubic symphysis (10 cm)
What is this:
measured during pelvic examination as distance between the sacral promontory and the inferior margin of the pubic symphysis (approximation of sagittal inlet/obstetric conjugate measurement).
diagonal conjugate
Why cant you measure the true obstetric conjugate?
because it is on the superior border which we cannot reach
When pregnant what happens to the female pelvis?
thickened ligaments at superior and inferior margins of the symphysis Interpubic disc increases lesser pelvis increased flexibility of pubic symphysis increased sex hormone and relaxin coccyx moves posterior
The interpubic disc is wider in females due to (blank) located at the superior and inferior aspects of the pubic symphysis. During pregnancy this can increase (blank) making the pelvis get wider.
thickened ligaments
transversely
Which women have a pelvis shape with a narrow front (looks more like a male pelvis) and makes birth more difficult.
African americans with Android
What is the most ideal pelvis shape for birth?
gynecoid (ideal-almost round)
What do you only find in male pelvis?
seminal vesicles, ductus deferens
