Osteology and Arthrology Flashcards
Where is the perineum?
between thighs and buttocks, from coccyx to the pubis, inferior to the pelvic diaphragm
Where is the pelvic cavity?
inferiorposterior to the abdomen, between the pelvic brim and pelvic diaphragm
What contains the iliacus m?
iliac fossa
What is the superior attachment for inguinal L?
anterior superior iliac spine
What does the obturator groove transmit?
Obturator n, a, and v; it is not covered by obturator membrane
What forms the obturator foramen?
Superior and inferior pubic rami, ischial ramus, and body of ischium
What is the pubic arch?
bony arch btwn right and left inferior pubic and ischial rami
Apex is at pubic symphysis
What is the subpubic angle?
angle immediately inferior to pubic symphysis
What forms the median sacral crest?
fused sacral spinous processes
What forms the intermediate/medial sacral crest?
Fused sacral articulating processes
What forms the lateral sacral crest?
fused sacral transverse processes
What does the sacral tuberosity articulate with?
forms fibrous articulation with iliac tuberosity
What sacral formaina are smaller? Dorsal or ventral?
Dorsal
What is the resultant gap left by absence of lamina and spinous process of S5?
sacral hiatus
What is the sacral cornua?
Inferior articulating process of S5
What transmits the cauda equina?
Sacral canal - the continuation of vertebral foramina
What is it called when the vertebral arch separates from the vertebral body?
Spondylolysis
What is it called when there is an abnormal anteriorly directed separation of the L5 vertebral segment from the sacrum?
Spondylolisthesis
Describe the superior pelvic inlet
exists at the pelvic brim
btwn greatter and lesser pelvis
Formed by sacral promentory, superior edge of sacral ala, arcuate line of ilium, pectin pubis, pubic crest and superior edge of pubic symphysis
Describe the inferior pelvic inlet
Bound by inferior edge of pubic symphysis, inferior pubic and iscial rami, ischial tuberosities, sacrotuberous ls. and the coccyx
What is the passage between superior and inferior inlets called?
pelvic canal
Describe a typical male pelvis
Thicker, heavier Deeper greater pelvis Narrower and deeper lesser pelvis Android pelvic inlet small pelvic outlet narrow pubic arch round obturator foramen large acetabulum
Describe a typical female pelvis
Thinner, lighter shallower greater pelvis wider and shallow lesser pelvis gynecoid pelvic inlet large pelvic outlet wide pubic arch oval obturator foramen small acetabulum
