EX2 Pelvis and Pelvic Floor Flashcards
This is located above the pelvic brim, pelvic inlet is continuous with the abdominal cavity, and also known as the greater pelvis
false pelvis
This is located below the pelvic brim, pelvic outlet closed off below by muscular pelvic floor, and known as the lesser pelvic
true pelvis
This bone of the pelvic girdle is made up of 5 fused bones
sacrum; 5 fused sacral vertebrae
These bones make up the 2 os coxae
ilium, ischium, and pubis
What defines the border of the pelvic brim
the pectineal line of the superior ride of the superior ramus is continuous with the arcuate line
What is the shape of the pelvic brim in males and in females
males = heart shaped females = oval shaped
Who has shorter pubic symphysis, males or females?
females
Who has narrower pubic arch and less flared iliac wings (alae), males or females?
males
Who has their ischial tuberosities further apart, males or females?
females
Who has shorter, less curved sacrum, males or females?
females
What is the shape of the obturator foramen in males and in females
males = round females = oval
What is the pubic arch angles in males and females
males = less than 70° females = more than 80°
This connects the 2 pubic bones
pubic sympthysis
This is located between the sacrum and ilium anteriorly
anterior sacroiliac ligament
This is located between the sacrum and ilium posteriorly
posterior sacroiliac ligament
This is located from the ischial spine to the sacrum/coccyx, in the lower boundary of greater sciatic foramen
sacrospinous ligament
This is located from the sacrum to the tuberosity of the isichium, in the lower border of lesser sciatic foramen
sacrotuberous ligament
This closes off obturator foramen (lower border of obturator canal)
obturator membrane
This is a diamond shaped region between the thigh; contains 2 triangles
perineum
This triangle involves the passage of urinary and genital
urogenital triangle
This triangle involves the passage of rectum and anus
anal triangle
This triangle is deep to perineal muscle or UG diaphragm
urogenital triangle
This triangle is in the plevic floor muscles or pelvic diaphragm
anal triangle
This structure is the joining of the urogenital and anal triangles
pineal body
What are the two main muscles of the pelvic diaphragm
levator ani
coccygeus
