Normal GYN Anatomy Flashcards
What are the bony boundaries
Sacrum
Coccyx
Inominate bones (ilium, ischium,pubic symphysis)
This is an imaginary line from pubic symphysis and sacral prominence and divides true and false pelvis
Linea terminalis
This pelvis contains bladder, small bowel, ascending and descending colon, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, internal iliac and the 5 muscles.
True pelvis
What muscles make up the pelvic diaphgram and can lead to prolapse
Coccyges and levator ani muscles
These muscles are at the top (OPI)
Obturator interns
Piriformis
Iliopsoas
This muscle is lateral to the bladder
Obturator internus
The muscle is posterolateral
Piriformis
This muscle is anterolateral
Iliopsoas
Aka space of retzius, and is anterior to bladder
Space of retzius
lower quadrants of abdomen and lateral space to uterus, the ovaries are within this structure
Adnexa
aka rectouterine pouch or pouch of Douglas , between uterus and rectum posterior to uterus
Posterior cul-de-sac
aka vesicuterine pouch between bladder and uterus (anterior to uterus)
anterior - cul - de - sac
these are branches of internal iliac artery (aka hypogastric)
uterine arteries
These originate from the aorta aka gonadal arteries
Uterine arteries
Ovaries receive a dual blood supply from what to arteries
Ovarian and uterine arteries
Uterine vein returns or drains into
Intermal iliac veins
Right ovarian vein drains into
IVC
left ovarian vein drains into
left renal vein
Which vein is the longest pelvic vessel
Lt ovarian vein
This is a pearshaped retroperitoneal organ that is located anterior to rectum, posterior to the bladder, bounded anteriorly by bladder, and bounded laterally by the broad ligament
Uterus
This is the most superior and widest
Fundus
the body largest area
Corpus
aka lower uterine segment in pregnancy
Isthmus
Most superior portion of cervix
Internal os
Most inferior portion of cervix opens into vaginal canal
External os
aka periemtrium, outer most layer of uterus
Serosa
most muscular layer of uterus
Myometrium
