Lect 7 Flashcards
Arcuate Line?
Separates False Pelvis ( superior) and True Pelvis (Inferior)

What are the borders of the Greater Sciatic Foramen?
Sacrospinous, sacrotuberous and sciatic notch

The Sacrospinous Ligament is Posterior or Anterior to Sacrotuberous Ligament?
Anterior

What goes through the Greater Sciatic Foramen?
Sciatic Nerve
Piriformis Muscle
Pudendal Nerve

What goes through the Lesser Sciatic Foramen?
Tendon of Obturator Internus Muscle
Pudendal Nerve
Pudendal Nerve innervates both GSF and LSF. How?
Goes out the GSF and turns back into the pelvis through the LSF, does this because it has to supply most of the genital and perineal area.
List the Gluteal Region From Superior to Inferior.
Superior to Inferior Muscles :
Piriformis
Superior Gemalis
Obturator Internus Muscle
Inferior Gemalis
Quadratus Femoris

Gluteal Region is vascularized by arterial branches from?
Internal Iliac Artery

External Iliac Artery –> goes to what artery.
What does it have to do with the gluteal region?
Goes to the Femoral Artery.
Just wants to pass through to get to the thigh.
Abdominal Aorta ->
Common Iliac Artery → External and Internal Iliac Artery.
Internal Iliac Artery –> two arteries come off of this. What are they?
Superior and Inferior Gluteal Artery come off of here.
Internal Iliac Artery–>
Superior and Inferior Gluteal Artery –> Internal Pudendal Artery–>
Obturator Artery

All somatic nerve plexus are formed by
VENTRAL PRIMARY RAMI.
Pelvic Splanchnics give off what kind of sensory aspect?
Parasympathetic
Posterior Femoral Cutaneous →
First, what does PFC do?
What nerve comes off of it?
What nerve came before PFC?
It gives sensory to the back of the thigh –>
Inferior Cluneal Nerve comes off of it
Sciatic Nerve –> PFC –> Inferior Cluneal nerve
What does Inferior Cluneal Nerve do?
What did it come off of?
supplying sensory innervation of the lower gluteal region
it came off the PFC
Middle and Superior Cluneal Nerve are from what nerve?
Dorsal Primary Rami
What are the roots of the sciatic nerve?
Sciatic nerve
L4- S3
Label this. This nerve comes from?

GSF and between the Piriformis and Superior Gemullis.

Obturator Nerve goes through?
Obturator Foramen
Psoas Major. Label the borders.
Genitofemoral Nerve ( Superior)
Obturator Nerve ( Medial)
Femoral Nerve (Lateral)

Anterior Thigh: Innervation and Arterial Supply?
Femoral nerve and Femoral Artery
Medial Thigh Innervation and Arterial Supply?
Obturator Nerve and Obturator Artery
Posterior thigh innervation and arterial supply?
Posterior Thigh
Perforating Branches of Deep Femoral Artery
Sciatic Nerve
