Male and Female Pelvis and Perineum Flashcards
perineum division
line connecting ischial tuberosities
anal triangle
UG triangle
boundaries of anal triangle
anterior - posterior edge of UG diaphragm
posterolateral - ischial tuberosities and sacrotuberous ligament
posterior - coccyx
contents of anal triangle
anal canal
ischioanal fossa
vessels and nerves to perineum
external anal sphincter
voluntary muscle surrounding anal canal
divisions of anal triangle
subQ - circular fibers
superficial - tendon of perineum to coccyx
deep - encircles anal canal
attachment of tendon of perineum to coccyx
central tendon male
perineal body female
currugator cutis ani
superficial of external anal sphinchter
ischioanal fossa
below levator ani muscle
-between superficial anal triangle and pelvic diaphragm
posteriorly - left and right communicate
anterior - separation by anterior recesses
anterior ischioanal fossa
adipose tissue
- continuation of campers fascia
internal pudendal nerves
inferior rectal vessels
internal pudendal nerves
internal pudendal artery
1 of 2 terminal branches
-of internal iliac artery
leaves pelvis through greater sciatic foramen
-crosses ischial spine between sacrospinous ligament and sacrotuberous ligament
comes back into perineum via lesser sciatic foramen
alcocks canal
aka pudendal canal
- split of obturator fascia
- contains internal pudendal vessels and pudendal nerve
branches of internal pudendal artery
in ischioanal fossa
- inferior rectal - 1st branch
- perineal artery - 2nd branch
- deep and dorsal arteries of penis (clitoris)
inferior rectal artery
supplies sphincter, anal canal, skin of anus
first branch of internal pudendal artery
perineal artery
2nd branch of internal pudendal artery
arises - posterior edge of UG
- branches further:
- transverse perineal arteries
- posterior scrotal artery - males
- posteior labial artery - females
perineal artery blood supply to?
superficial perineal and deep perineal mm.
posterior scrotal (labial) artery
end branch of perineal artery from internal pudendal artery
terminal branch of internal pudendal arteries
deep and dorsal arteries of penis (clitoris)
nerves of anal triangle
similar to arterial distribution
pudendal nerve - S2-4
-same course as internal pudendal arteries
branches of pudendal nerve
inferior rectal nerves
perineal nerve
dorsal nerve of penis
perineal branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
innervate lateral aspect of anal and UG regions
-down onto medial thigh
UG triangle borders
anterior - pubis
lateral - ischiopubic ramus
posterior - dorsal edge UG diaphragm
superior - pubococcygeus of levator ani (pelvic diaphragm)
male UG triangle
pierced by urethra
-sphincter urethrae m. and compressor urethrae m.
posterior edge - deep transverse perineal m. and superficial transverse perineal m.
insertion of superficial perineal m. in male?
central tendon
superficial UG diaphragm fascia
from transversalis fascia
inferior UG diaphragm fascia
from colles fascia
aka perineal membrane
deep perineal space
space between perineal membrane and superior perineal fascia
superficial perineal space in male
penis
bulbospongiosus
ischiocavernosus
scrotum
penis
male copulatory organ
- superficial fascia with overlying skin
- 3 bodies
corpus spongiosum
along midline
-adherent to inferior fascia of UG diaphragm
contains urethra
enlarge proximal end - bulb of penis
enalrged distal - glans penis
-limited erectile function (mostly glans)
corpus cavernosa
2x
- start lateral and converge toward middle
- crura of penis - where they meet
anchored at ischiopubic rami
-converge at inferior margin of pubic symphysis**
each contain deep artery of penis
-from internal pudendal artery
tunica albuginea
thick CT around erectile tissue
spongiosum has thinner tunica albuginea
-prevents urethral collapse during erection
cavernosa in midline?
form vascular sinuses
-to equalize pressure on each side
support of penis
suspensory ligament - from deep fascia
-arises from pubic symphysis**
-deep to fundiform ligament (from superficial fascia)
suspensory ligament
inserts into deep fascia of penis
bulbospongiosus
surrounds bulb of penis
-compresses urethra
ischiocavernosus
erector of penis
fascia of penis
deep penile fascia - bucks
-forms suspensory ligament of penis
superficial penile fascia - colles
-dartos around scrotum
penis skin
hairless, thin skin
skin attached directly to erectile tissue at glans penis - prepuce (foreskin)
scrotum
skin and superficial fascia
split by midline septum - from dartos fascia
contains testes and ducts
scrotum vasculature
anterior scrotal branches from external pudendal artery
posterior scrotal branches from internal pudendal artery
