Conference 20: Organization of Pelvis and Perineum Flashcards
What 3 bones form the bony pelvis?

- Sacrum 2. Os coxae 3.Coccyx
Name the 3 major bones that form the hip bone

- Ilium 2. Ischium 3. Pubis
Name the major parts of the ileum
- Ala of ilium
- Aterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)
- Greater Sciatic Notch
- Iiac crest
- Arcuate line

Name the parts of the pubis

- Superior pubic ramus
- ishiopubic ramus
- boduy
- pubic symphasis
- pubic tubericle
- Pectin pubis
Name the parts of the ischium

- Ischial spine
- Lesser sciatic notch
- Ischial tuberosity
- Ischiopubic ramus
The pelvic region lies between _____ and ______
pelvic inlet and pelvic diaphragm
Pelvic inlet boundaries?

- sacral prominetory
- Sacral ala
- arcuate line
- pectin pubis
- pubic tubercle
- pubic crest
- pubic symphasis
Name the boundaries of the pelvic outlet
- pubic symphasis (point of diamond anteriorly)
- ishiopubic ramus
- ischial tuberosity
- sacrotuberous ligament
- coccyx (point of diamond posteriorly)

What muscle arrises on the inner surfce of the obturator foramen and then exits the pelvis out of the lesser sciatic foramen?
Obturator internus
What muscle exits through the greater sciatic foramen?
Piriformis
What muscles make up the pelvic diaphragm?
- Levator ani
- Coccygeus
Why is the pelvic diaphrahm clincially important?
because when there is muscular atrophy, the pelvic diaphragm becomes weak and there can be prolapse of viscera (uterus, bladder, etc)
What are the openings in the pelvic diaphragm in MALES
- urethera
- anal canal
What are the openings in the pelvic diaphragm in FEMALES?
- urethra
- vagina
- anal canal
We have more cus were better :)
What two structures reinforce the openings of the pelvic diaphragm?
- peritoneal membrane
- external anal sphincter
PERINEUM BOUNDARIES?
anterior, posterior and lateral boundary is the PELVIC OUTLET
inferior boundary is SKIN
What are the major contents of the anal triangle?
- anal canal
- ischioanal fossa
What are the BOUNDARIES of the ishialanal fossa
medial: pelvic diaphragm & external anal sphincter
lateral: obturator internus & pudendal canal & ischial tuberosity
inferior: skin
What are the contents of the UG triangle
listed anterior to posterior
- superficial features of external genitalia
- superficial perineal fascia –> 2 layers (deep layer= colles fascia)
- perineal space
What are the boundaries of the perineal space?
superior- perineal membrane
lateral- ischiopubic ramus
inferior- colle’s fascia
What are the contents of the perineal space in a MALE?
- crura of corposa cavernosa
- ischiocavernosus muscle
- bulb of corpus spongiosun
- bulbospongeous muscle
What are the contents in the perineal space in FEMALES
- crura of the clitoris
- ischiocavernosus muscle
- bulb of the vestibule
- bulbospongiousus muscle
- greater vestibular gland (NOT IN MALES)
What are the difference in the structures below the perineum membrane in a male versus female?
Females do NOT have the bulborethra gland
