Q

Describe the sacroiliac joints

A

Synovial joints, reinforced by anterior, posterior, and interosseous SI ligaments, additional reinforcement by sacrotuberous lig
Movement primarily gliding but can be rotary, interosseous and sacrotuberous resist rotary movement

18
Q

Transverse (Superior)

A

Greatest width of superior aperature

19
Q

Oblique

A

Sacroiliiac articulation of one side to iliopectineal eminence of the other side

20
Q

Transverse (Inferior)

A

Btw inner surfaces of ischial tuberosity

21
Q

Ant sagittal

A

Transverse diameter to symphysis

22
Q

Post sagittal

A

Transverse diameter to sacrococcygeal junction

23
Q

Obturator internus m.

A

O: inner surface of obturator membrane and surrounding bony rim
I: greater trochanter
A: External rotation of thigh
In: N. to obturator internus
Leaves pelvis as tendon passing around margin of lesser sciatic notch - covered by heavy obturator fascia from which levator ahi arises

24
Q

Piriformis m.

A

O: sacrum
I: greater trochanter
A: external rotation and abduction of thigh
Leaves pelvis passing thought greater sciatic foramen

25
Q

The pelvic diaphragm is made up of what 2 muscles?

A

Levator anim. and coccygeus m.

26
Q

Levator ani - pubococcygeus m.

A
O: pubis
I: coccyx and anococcygeal lig
A: supports pelvic visera
In: perineal branches of S3, S4
Anterior to rectum the right and left portions are separated - separation bridged by connective tissue, urethra of both sexes passes through this opening
27
Q

Levator ani - iliococcygeus m.

A

O: Arcus tendineus (obt fascia btw pubis and spine)
I:coccyx and anococcygeal lig
A: supports pelvic viscera
In: perineal branches of S3, S4

28
Q

Levator ani - puborectalis m.

A

O: pubis
I: puborectalis from opposite side on posterior side of rectum
A: supports pelvic visera, maintains anorectal junction
In: perineal branches of S3, S4
Lying along upper surface of pubococcygeus m.

29
Q

Coccygeus m.

A
O: ischial spine, sacrotub lig 
I: coccyx and lower part of sacrum 
A: supports pelvic visera 
In: S4, S5 ventral rami 
Most posterior m. of pelvic diaphragm
30
Q

Urinary tract elements

A

Anteriorly placed structures:
Pelvic portion of ureter
Urinary bladder

31
Q

GI tract elements

A

Posteriorly placed structures:
Rectum
Anal canal

32
Q

Reproductive organs

A

Lie btw urinary tract and GI elements
Male - pelvic vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland
Female - vagina, uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries

33
Q

Inner walls and floor of pelvis

A

Consists of membranous lining and loose connective tissue surrounding pelvic contents
Fills space btw peritoneum and muscles

34
Q

Peritoneum of pelvis

A

Does not contact floor and walls of pelvis but is draped over superior aspects of structures in pelvis, forming distinct pouches and folds

35
Q

Rectovesical pouch

A

Male btw rectum and bladder

36
Q

Rectouterine pouch

A

Female btw rectum and uterus

37
Q

Vesicouterine pouch

A

Female btw superior aspect of urinary bladder and the uterus

38
Q

Broad ligament

A

Found only in females - reaches laterally across pelvis, folded over uterus, formed during formation of uterus and vagina from paramesonephric ducts

39
Q

Boundaries of the perineum

A

Ant: pubis
Lateal: ischiopubic rami and ischial tuberosities
Post: coccyx and caudal sacrum
Post lat: sacrotuberous lig
Sup: separated from pelvic cavity by pelvic diaphragm

40
Q

Urogenital diaphragm

A

Stretches ant btw 2 ischiopubic rami creating urogenital and anal regions

41
Q

Perineum

A

Anatomically area btw coccyx and pubis, often used to refer to central tendon of females

42
Q

Anal triangle boundaries

A

Ant: post edge of urogenital diaphragm
Post: boundaries of perineum
Lat: ischippubic rami and obt int m. below the arcs tendineus
Sup: roof formed by inf aspect of pelvic diaphragm
Inf: Skin and superficial fascia of perineum

A

Filled with adipose tissue
