DSA 5 Flashcards
functions of the bony pelvis include:
transmits weight of the body from the vertebral column to the lower limbs;
contains, supports, and protects pelvic viscera;
provides attachments for muscles of the trunk and lower limbs
the pelvis transmits body weight from the ___ to the ___
vertebral column;
lower limbs
the pelvis contains, supports, and protects ___
pelvic viscera
the pelvis provides ___ for ___ of the ___
attachments; muscles;
trunk and lower limbs
the pelvis is comprised of
2 hip bones
the 2 hip bones form
anterior and lateral walls
anteriorly, hip bones articulate with ___ at the ___
each other;
pubic symphysis
posteriorly, hip bones articulate with ___ at the ___
the sacrum;
sacroiliac joint
the sacrum and coccyx articulate at the
sacrococcygeal joint
articulate at the pubic symphysis
anterior hip bones with each other
articulate at the sacroiliac joint
posterior hip bones with the sacrum
articulate at the sacrococcygeal joint
sacrum and coccyx
divides the pelvis into two parts
pelvic brim
the pelvic brim divides the pelvis into two parts:
false (greater) pelvis and true (lesser) pelvis
the pelvic brim is formed by the
sacral promontory, iliopectineal lines, and symphysis pubis
the ___ pelvis bounds the lower part of the abdominal cavity
false (greater)
the ___ pelvis contains the pelvic cavity
true (lesser)
the ___ is above the pelvic brim, while the ___ is below the pelvic brim
false (greater);
true (lesser)
in anatomical position:
the front of the ___ and the ___ lie in the same vertical plane
symphysis pubis;
ASIS
the surface of the symphysis pubis faces
upward and backward
the anterior surface of the sacrum is directed
forward and downward
the false pelvis functions to
support the abdominal contents;
after the 3rd month of pregnancy, helps support the baby and uterus;
during early stages of labor, helps guide the fetus into the true pelvis
the anatomy of the ___ in females is important for ___ because it forms the ___ through which the child passes during birth
true pelvis; obstetrics; bony canal (birth canal)
the ___ contains an inlet, outlet, and cavity
true pelvis
boundaries are the sacral promontory posteriorly, the iliopectineal lines laterally, and the pubic symphysis anteriorly.
pelvic inlet (pelvic brim)
boundaries are the coccyx posteriorly, the ischial tuberosities laterally, and the pubic arch anteriorly
pelvic outlet
contains 3 wide notches
pelvic outlet
lies anteriorly, between the ischiopubic rami.
pubic arch
the pubic arch lies
anteriorly between the ischiopubic rami
branch in latin
ramus
the birth canal passes
directly below the pubic arch
