GA - Bony Pelvis and Pelvic Wall Flashcards
What is the difference between the False Pelvis and the True Pelvis?
False pelvis is the space between the left and right Iliums of the the pelvis, above the Pelvic Brim. The False pelvis is actually part of the abdomen
The True Pelvis is the space between the pelvic brim and the Pelvic Diaphragm
How do you define the Perineum?
The space between the thighs, below the Pelvic Diaphragm (where the “naughty bits” are)
What are the attachments of the Inguinal Ligament?
ASIS and Pubic Tubercle
What do you call the bone connecting the Body of the Pubis to the Ilium and Ischium?
Superior Pubic Ramus connects the Body of the Pubis to both the Ilium and Superior, medial portion of the Ischium
Inferior Pubic Ramus connects the Body of the Pubis to the Inferior, medial portion of the Ischium
What the the 4 spines of the Ilium called?
Anterior Superior Iliac Spine
Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine
Posterior Superior Iliac Spine
Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine
What is the auricular surface?
Surface that resembles the ear on the posterior, medial portion of the Ilium.
The Auricular surface the portion of the Ilium that interacts with the the Sacrum
What is the Arcuate Line?
Arcuate Line is a bony feature that connects the Auricular surface and the Superior Pubic Ramus.\
It forms part of the pelvic brim
What is the Pubic Symphyseal Surface?
Pubic symphyseal surface is the most medial portion of the ox coxa
It the surface where the pubic symphysis is found, connecting the pubis of both ox coxi
What is the Pectin Pubis?
AKA Pectineal Line of the Pubis
It is the line that follows the Superior, Posterior portion of the Superior Pubic Ramus
It contributes to the Pelvic Brim
What is the Acetabulum?
The socket where the femur attaches to the Ox Coxa
What is the Linea Terminalus?
The combination of the Pectin Pubis and the Arcuate Line of the Ilium
Forms the Pelvic Brim
What is Spondylolisthesis?
Dislocation/slipping between adjacent vertebrae
Can happen with L5 and Sacrum
What is the Superior Pelvic Aperature?
Imaginary opening of the pelvis formed by the Pelvic Brim
What is the inferior Pelvic Aperature?
Imaginary opening of the pelvis spanning from the inferior edge of the pubic symphysis to the tip of the cocyx
What three features make up the pelvic brim?
Arcuate Line of the Ilium
Pectin Pubis
Sacrum
