DIsection XIII GI System: Releated Organs, Internal Features And Transitions Flashcards
Crura penis
Penis is attached to left and right aspects of ischiatic arch via crura
Obturator foramen
Closed in life by obturator membrane and ext. and int. Obturator muscles that the membrane separates
Obturator nerve
Passes through obturator foramen, innervates adductor muscles of hindlimb(motor)(pettiness and gracilis muscles)
Ureter
Tubes that connects kidney to the bladder
Ductus deferens
Carries spermatozoa from epididymus to to urethra; arises from tail of epydidymus at caudal end of testis and attached to mesorchium by mesoductus deferens accompanied by deferent artery and vein
Levator ani muscles
Medial component of pelvic diaphragm (lateral component is the coccygeus muscle); originating on medial edge of body of ilium and dorsal surface of pubis and pelvic symphysis; inserts on caudal vertebrea 3-7
Iliac crest
Cranial border (of pelvis?) is arciform more commonly known about iliac crest
Ischiatic tuberosities
Thick caudolateral margin of the pelvis
Greater trochanters
Top of the femur that fits into the hip joint?
Perineum
Area between anus and vulva in female/ scrotum in males
Ischiorectal fossae
Wedge shaped space with its base toward perineum and lying between tuberosity of ischium and obturator internus muscle laterally and external anal sphincter and levator ani muscle medially
Superficial gluteal
Origin: lateral border of sacrum and 1st cd vertebrea partly by means of sacrotuberous ligament; cranial dorsal iliac spine by means of deep gluteal fascia
Insertion: 3rd trochanter
Innervation: Caudal gluteal nerve
Action: extend hip joint and abduct limb
Middle gluteal muscles
Origin: crest and gluteal surface of ilium
Insertion: Greater trochanter
Action: extend and abduct hip joint and rotate pelvic limb medially
Innervation: Cranial gluteal nerve
Sacrotuberous ligament
Consists of fiberous cord between ischiatic tuberosity and the transverse process of the last sacral vertebrea
Internal obturator muscle
Origin: symphysis pelvis and dorsal surface of ischium and pubis
Instertion: The trochanteric fossa of the femur
Action: To rotate the pelvic limb laterally at the hip joint
Innervation: Sciatic nerve
