OBG-anatomy Flashcards
What does the posterior wall of the pelvis contain?
Sacrum and coccyx
Upper part of the pelvis is the ______ pelvis, the lower is the ______ pelvis.
False (superior), true (inferior)
What does the anterior wall of the pelvis contain?
2 pubic bones
What does the inferior wall of the pelvis contain?
2 iliac wings and ischium
What divides the pelvis into the true and false pelvis?
Linea terminalis or iliopectineal line
What is at the anterior wall of the false pelvis?
Rectus abs
What does the inferior wall of the true pelvis contain?
Pelvic diaphragm, levator ani muscle, coccygeal muscle, and perineal muscle
What are the osseous ligaments?
Sacroiliac (between the sacrum and ilium), sacrosanct (or sacrotuberous), sacrococcygeal, and pubic symphysis
what are the suspensory ligaments?
Cardinal ligament (lateral cervical ligament), broad ligament (extends from lateral pelvic walls), uterosacral ligament (posterior), round ligament (anterior to broad ligament), ovarian ligament, and infundibulopelvic ligament
what is the broad ligament made out of?
peritoneum
what does the round ligament attach?
the upper uterus to anterior pelvic wall
what does the ovarian ligament attach?
upper/anterior uterus to ovary
what does the infundibuloplevic ligament attach?
lateral aspect of the ovary to the pelvic wall transmits the ovarian artery and vein to ovary
This muscle is from anterior wall to pelvis, extends from xiphoid process to pubic symphysis, responsible for the refraction/ “ghosting” artifact occasionally seen while imaging the middle pelvis in a transverse plane
rectus abdominum muscle
this muscle originates from the lower throracic and lumbar vertebra (posterior wall), joins the iliacus muscle in the pelvis forming the iliopsoas muscle
psoas muscle
inserts on the lesser pouch anterior to the femur
iliopsoas muscle
sits in the anterior iliac fossa (lateral wall), arises at the liiac creast and extends inferiorly to join the psoas muscle forming the iliopsoas, part of the false pelvis
iliacus
triangular muscle anchoring pelvic brim, lateral side wall of the true pelvis
obturator internus muscle
deep and posterior in true pelvis “turn out muscle”
piriformis muscle
holds pelvic organs inside, made out of levator muscle (anterior and middle floor), coccygeal muscle (posterior floor), perineal muscle (outerside)
pelvic diaphragm
what 3 structures pass through the pelvic diaphragm?
urethra (anterior), vagina (middle), rectum (posterior)
hollow muscle membranous organ, located posterior to pubic symphysis, anterior to the vagina, superior convexity is the dome, utterers insert on the inferior posterior of this organ
urinary bladder
what are the 3 layers of the bladder wall?
outer epithelial layer, middle muscular layer, and inner mucosal layer
describe the bladder when it is full and empty
empty bladder- can see folds (rugae) on sonogram
full bladder- cannot see the mucosa
______ arises along the inferior and middle part of the bladder
urethra
7-10 cm canal of smooth muscle, extends from the external introitus to the cervix
vagina
