Q

What are important measurements to obstetrically determine the capacity of a female to bear a child?

A

pelvic diameters

Vertical, transverse, oblique and conjugate

25
Why do pelvic fractures or crush fractures almost always involve multiple fractures?
articulated pelvis is a bony ring and therefore difficult to break in only one place. superior and inferior pubic rami often broken on both sides as a result
26
What is the interpubic disc?
fibrocartilaginous disc between right and left pubic symphyseal surfaces
27
Describe the lumbosacral joint
2 joints - intervertebral joint that is a symphysis - zygopophyseal joint that is planar synovial
28
Where is the anterior longitudinal l?
Travels on the ventral surface of vertebral bodies, onto ventral surface of the sacrum
29
Where is the posterior longitudinal l?
travels on the dorsal surface of the vertebral bodies, onto the anterior wall of the sacral canal
30
What is the ligamentum flavum?
pale yellow fibers which travel on the ventral surfaces of vertebral laminae, onto the posterior wall of sacral canal
31
Where is the iliolumbar l?
travels from L5 transverse processes to the iliac crest
32
Where is the lumbosacral l.?
L5 transverse process and body to sacral ala
33
Where is the inguinal l?
from ASIS to pubic tubercle
34
What are the ligaments of the pubic symphysis?
superior pubic l inferior pubic l interpubic disk
35
Describe the sacroiliac joint
compound joint - planar synovial - auricular surface of sacrum and articular (auricular?) surface of the ilium - Fibrous syndesmosis - posteriorly btwn the sacral and ischial tuberosities
36
Where are the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ls?
from ventral sacrum to ischial spine | from ventral sacrum to ischial tuberosity
37
Where is the posterior sacroiliac l?
arranged in two parts - long: two bands from PSIS and median sacral crest of S3,4 to blend inferiorly with sacrotuberous L - short: median sacral crest S1, 2 inserting on posterior surface of iliac crest and iliac tuberosity
38
Describe the joint between the sacrum and coccyx
sacrococcygeal joint - symphysis | 2 ligaments - anterior and posterior sacrococcygeal ls
39
What is the peritoneum?
dips down out of the abdomen into the pelvis to cover, but not surround the pelvic viscera
40
Describe the obturator fascia
membranous parietal pelvic fasica lines pelvic side of obturator internus m Continuous superiorly with transversalis fascia Forms walls of pudendal canal Forms tendinous arch of levator ani ms.
41
what fascia lines the muscular walls the pelvis: obturator internus m., piriformis, levator ani, and coccygeus ms.
Membranous parietal pelvic fascia
42
What type of fascia is the tendinous arch of pelvic fascia? | What are the parts
Membranous visceral pelvic fascia Male: puboprostatic l and rectoprostatic l Female: Pubovesical l and uterosacral l
43
What are the 4 fat filled potential spaces in the pelvis?
Retropubic space (prevesical space) Paravesical space Pelvirectal space Retrorectal space
44
What is condensed endopelvic fascia?
increased density of collagen and elastic fibers responsible for compartmentalizing the loose endopelvic fascia
45
What makes up the condensed endopelvic fascia? How is it different in males vs females?
Hypogastric sheath - anterior lamina: lateral L of the bladder - middle lamina: transverse cervical l in female vs rectovesical septum in males - Posterior lamina: lateral rectal l
46
What does the hypogastric sheath serve as a conduit for?
nerves and vessels going to lateral pelvic wall to pelvic viscera
47
What can be found in the anal triangle?
ischioanal foss and pudendal canal
48
Describe the ischioanal fossa
around the wall of anal canal, inferior to pelvic diaphragm, narrow superiorly, wide inferiorly filled with fat and loose connective tissues that allows for expansion of anal canal during defecation
49
Describe the pudendal canal
Space inside obturator fascia which transmits the internal pudendal a, v, and pudendal n
50
What can be found in the urogenital triangle?
``` Perineal membrane Superficial perineal fascia Deep perineal fascia Superficial perineal pouch Deep perineal pouch ```
51
What are the four points of the quadrangular space/perineum
Pubic symphysis Coccyx Two ischial tuberosities
52
Describe the perineal membrane
extends between the two sides of the pubic arch and coverst the anterior portion of the inferior pelvic aperture
53
Describe superficial perineal fascia
Continuous with the superficial fascia of the abdomen, made up of fatty and membranous component
54
Describe fatty superficial perineal fascia
In the female, it forms the fatty layers of the labia majora and the mons pubis Male - replaced by the penis and scrotum and only a thin layer lies beneath bulbospongiosus m.
55
Describe the membranous (deep) superficial perineal fascia
Forms the dartos fascia of the penis and scrotum
56
Describe the deep perineal fascia
Female - exists primarily as perineal membrane | Male - makes up the deep fascia of the penis and perineal membrane
57
What are the contents of the superficial perineal pouch in males?
bulb and crura of the penis superficial perineal muscles proximal spongy urethra branches of the internal pudendal a and v and of pudendal n
58
What are the contents of the superficial perineal pouch in females?
``` crura of the clitoris bulb of the vestibule superficial perineal muscles greater vestibular glands branches of the internal pudendal a and v and the pudendal n ```
59
What are the contents of the deep perineal pouch
male - membranous urethra, muscles of the urogenital diaphragm, bulbourethral glands Female - muscles of the urogenital diaphragm
