Q

What nerve provides motor and sensation to the perineum?

A

Pudendal nerve (S2/3/4)… it is “the nerve of the perineum… somatic”

Q

Camper’s fascia in males becomes ________.

A

Mostly smooth muscle, called Dartos fascia

27
Q

What is the membranous fascia found in the urogential triangle?

A

Colles fascia (perineal fascia)

28
Q

In the male, Colles, Dartos and Scarpa’s fascia all blend together superficially in the perineum to make the __________.

A

superficial fascia

29
Q

***The perineal membrane separates the _________ from the ________.

A

***deep space from the superficial space

30
Q

The deep space of the perineum sits between the _______ and ________.

A

superior fascia and the perineal membrane

31
Q

What courses through the pudendal canal (Alcock’s)?

A

The pudendal nerve, perineal nerve, and the internal pudendal artery and vein.

32
Q

Branches of the internal pudendal artery:

A

1) Inferior rectal artery
2) Perineal artery (major artery of superficial space, ends in posterior scrotal/labia arteries)
3) Artery of the bulb in males, artery of the bulb of the vestibule in females
4) Dorsal and deep arteries of the penis

33
Q

The internal pudendal artery runs thru the _______.

A

forward thru the deep space

34
Q

What are the three major branches of the pudendal nerve?

A

1) Inferior rectal (anal) nerve (provides external anal sphincter with motor innervation)
2) Perineal nerves (provides superficial and deep branches going to each space; provides all motor innervation to the UG triangle, some sensory info)
3) Dorsal nerve of the penis/clitoris (purely sensory, courses forward through the deep space to the sex organs)

35
Q

What is commonly used in medical forensics?

A

The different types of pelvic girdles (shape of pelvic inlet can reveal gender and ethnicity)

36
Q

Anterior portion of SI joint (between auricular surfaces) is _________

A

synovial (not smooth… they are ridged for stability and strength)

37
Q

Posterior portion (between tuberosities) of SI joint is a _________

A

syndesmosis

38
Q

Oblique conjugate

A

SI articulation to iliopectineal eminence

Describe the perineal body in both males and females

A

It is a connective tissue structure that lies “dead center” in the perineum, directly posterior to the vagina, provides the site of attachment for muscles of the perineum, erectile tissue, and structural support… this can be torn during vaginal deliver (can cause prolapse of pelvic/perineal structures)
