Module 10 Pelvis and Perineum Flashcards
What is the “line” that divides the pelvis?
Iliopectineal line (AKA pelvic brim)
What is the region above the iliopectineal line referred to as?
Pelvic major (false pelvis)
What is the region below the iliopectineal line referred to as?
Pelvic minor (true pelvis)
What are you sitting on right now?
Ischial tuberosity
What does the iliopectineal line transform into in the pubis?
pectineal line
What are the boundaries of the superior pelvic aperture-pelvic inlet (brim)
Poster-Promontor and ant border of ala
Lat-Iliopectineal line
Anter-Pubic symph, pectin puis, pubic crest
What are the boundaries of the inferior pelvic aperture-pelvic outlet?
Post-sacrum and coccyx
Lat-ischial tuberosities, sacrotuberous ligaments
Ant-pubic symp, arcuate ligament, rami of pubis and ischium
So the superior pelvic outlet is looking from the ________ to the _______
top to the bottom
The inferior pelvic outlet is looking from the ______ to the _____
bottom to the top
What are the boundaries of the major pelvis (false pelvis)
above the pelvic brim
and wall, iliac fossa, and L5-S1
What is contained in the major (false) pelvis?
Abdominal viscera (ileum of SI and sigmoid colon)
What are the boundaries of the minor (true) pelvis?
Below the pelvic brim
Above the pelvic outlet (floor)
Pelvic surfaces of hip bones, sacrum and coccyx
What is contained in the minor (true) pelvis?
Mostly reproductive organs
What forms the acetabulum?
Junction of 3 hip bones (hip socket)
Acetabular notch
lunate
margin
What forms the obturator foramen?
Rami of pubis and ischium
So the obturator foramen is different than the obturator canal how?
The foramen in the small hole in the ligamentous material contained in the foramen. The canal is where the obturator nerve comes through.
M/F? Larger bones?
Male
M/F? Shallower false pelvis?
Female
M/F? Oval shaped pelvic inlet?
Female
What shape is the males pelvic inlet?
heart shaped
What shape is the female obturator foramen?
Oval or triangular
What shape is the male obturator foramen?
round
What two ligaments maintain stability between Left and R pelvic bone?
Superior pubic ligament and Inferior pubic ligament
Where is most of the support in regards to the vertebropelvic ligaments?
Posterior region
Attachments-Iliolumbar ligament
L4/5-iliac crest
Attachments-Sacrotuberous ligament
Lateral sacrum/coccyx-Ischial tuberosity
Attachments-sacrospinous ligament
Caudal border of sacrum to ischial spine
What forms the anterior pelvic wall?
Pubic symphysis
Obturator internus
Body and rami of pubic bones
What forms the lateral pelvic wall?
Obturator internus
Attachm-obturator internus
Pelvic surface of ilium and ischium and obturator membrane—>Greater trochanter of femur
Innervation -obturator internus?
Obturator nerve
What forms the lateral pelvic wall?
Sacrum and portion of the ilium
SI joints and their ligaments
Piriformis muscle
Attach: Piriformis m.
sacral pelvis numb. 2 and 4, superior margin of sciatic notch, and sacrotuberous ligament–>Greater trochanter of femur
So both the muscles of the lateral and anterior pelvic wall attach up top and run down to where?
The Greater trochanter of the femur
What muscles make up the floor of the pelvis?
Puborectalis
Pubococcygeus
Iliococcygeus
Ischicoccygeus
What muscles are considered Levator Ani?
Pubrectalis
Pubococcygeus
Iliococcygeus
