female pelvis Flashcards
ureter (pelvic part)
crosses the bifurcation of common illiac artery
infront of sacroilliac joint and internal illiac artery
behind ovary and fallopian tube.
crosses forward and medially under the base of the broad ligament of uterus where it crosses the uterine artery
enters the urinary bladder lateral to the lateral fornix of vagina
where is the urinary bladder located
in lower pelvis when empty, but extends to abdominal area when its full
in children its in the abdomen either way
nerve supply of the bladder
inferior epigastric plexus
symp: L1 & L2 inhibit contraction of detrusor muscle and stimulate closure of sphincters
parasymp: S2-S4 cause contraction of detrusor muscle and stimulate opening of sphincter
whats a detrusor muscle
the muscle that causes contraction to push urine through the urethra
neck of bladder rests on?
urogenital diaphragm
apex of the bladder
faces towards the upper part of pubic symphysis and forms medial umbilical ligament
inferolateral surfaces of bladder
faces the pubic symphysis and isn’t covered by peritoneum
superior surface of the bladder
covered by peritoneum
base of infero posterior surface of bladder
triangular
vagina sperates it from rectum
suprolaterally -> ureter
inferior angle -> urethra
vesicouterine pouch
between bladder and uterus
rectouterine pouch
douglas pouch
between rectum and uterus
extension of the peritoneum
ligaments of bladder
pubovesical ligament (pubic bone to bladder)
pubovaginal ligament (pubic bone to vagina)
vesicouterine ligament
urachus (connects apex to umbilicus to form median umbilical ligament)
interior of the bladder
the mucosa of bladder is thrown into folds except at trigone (smooth)
openings of ureters and urethra form a
trigone
slight elevation may be seen in posterior portion of internal urethral orifice in male subjects called
uvula
uterus divided into
fundus, body, and cervix
where is the fundus of the uterus
above the enterance of the uterine tubes
body of the uterus
below entrance of uterine tubes
