EX2 Pelvic Neurovasculature Flashcards
This splits into the common iliac artery
abdominal aorta
This splits into the external and internal iliac arteries
common iliac artery
This exits the pelvis as the femoral artery
external iliac artery
This enters the true pelvic and branches into posterior and anterior branches
internal iliac artery
What does the internal iliac artery and its branches supply
pelvic organs and gluteal region
This posterior artery branch of internal iliac runs between the iliac crest and L5; runs superior
Iliolumbar
This posterior artery branch of internal iliac enters the ventral sacral foramina
lateral sacral
This artery supplies medial ilium and L5
iliolumbar
This artery supplies sacrum and ventral sacral nerves
lateral sacral
This posterior artery branch of internal iliac between L5 and S1 enters gluteal region superior to the piriformis muscle
superior gluteal
This posterior artery branch of internal iliac between S1/S2 or S2/S3 enters gluteal region inferior to piriformis muscle
inferior gluteal
This artery supplies gluteal muscles (medius and minimus) along with the accompanying nerve
superior gluteal
This artery supplies the gluteal muscle (maximus) along with the accompanying nerve
inferior gluteal
What is the path of the internal pudendal artery (posterior branch of internal iliac)
exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen
enters the gluteal region inferomedial to piriformis
crosses over sacrpspinous ligament
re-enters the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen
*runs with the pudendal nerve
This artery supplies the urogenital and anal triangles
internal pudendal artery
This contains the internal pudendal artery and pudendal nerve back in pelvis
pudendal canal
This is formed by fascia of obturator interns mucles and runs anteriorly along ischiopubic ramus (toward the UG∆)
pudendal canal
This anterior artery branch of internal iliac runs toward the anterior abdominal wall
umbilical
This anterior artery branch of internal iliac runs through the obturator canal
obturator
This artery sends 3-4 superior vesicle arteries to bladder and terminates as medial umbilical ligament
umbilical
This artery supplies medial thigh running with the nerve
obturator
The obturator artery anastomoses with which vessels
inferior epigastric
What is meant by the Corona Mortis “crown of death”
since obturator anastomoses with inferior epigastric, damage to them could open the entire internal and external iliac system, causing death in minutes
This anterior artery branch of internal iliac anastomoses with ovarian artery from aorta
uterine
