lec 5 Flashcards
the obturator internus leaves the pelvic cavity through ———–
lesser sciatic foramen
nerve supply of obturator internus
L5 +S1
action of obturator internus
lateral rotator of the thigh at hip joint
action of piriformis
lateral rotator of the thigh at hip joint
nerve supply of piriformis
L5-S1 and 2
the piriformis goes transversely through
greater sciatic notch
which muscle forms the levator prostate (pubourethralis)
The most anterior fibers of the levator ani that arise from the body of pubis
the anterior fibers that arise from the body of pubis of levator ani form
male it is around ———– and forms —>
female it is around ———- and forms —>
the prostate —> levator prostate (pubourethralis)
posterior wall of the vagina –> pubovaginalis
the posterior fibers that arise from the body of pubis form
puborectalis muscle
puborectalis muscles holds the anorectal junction angled ——-
forward
anococcygeal raphe is btw ————,———–
anal canal and the tip of the coccyx
the levator ani is supplied by
mainly S4 ——> perineal branch
inferior rectal branch of the pudendal
coccygeus muscle is overlapped anteriorly by
iliococcygeus
the gluteal surface of coccygeus forms
sacrospinous ligament
coccygeus is supplied by
S4 and 5 spinal nerves
puborectalis part of levator ani action —–>
pubovaginalis action —–>
sphincter action on anorectal junction
sphincter action on the vagina
The pelvic diaphragm ———— during coughing and sneezing , and ——– in micturition, defaecation and partitution
contracts
relaxes
coccygeus action during defecation
pulls the coccyx forwards after it has been pushed backwards during defaecation
