Coccyx
What makes up the inferior border of the pelvic outlet?
Pelvic diaphragm (3 muscles)
What separates the pelvic cavity and perineum?
Pelvic diaphragm
Which organ is most posterior in the pelvis?
Rectum
What 2 structures support fecal matter in the rectum?
Transverse folds
Rectal ampulla
The pelvic diaphragm acts on the anorectal juncture how?
Pulls it anteriorly
As the anorectal juncture is pulled anteriorly by the pelvic diaphragm, what happens to the anal canal?
Moved posteriorly
The ureters pass anteriorly to which structure?
Bifurcation of common iliac arteries
How do the ureters cross the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries?
Anteriorly
The ureter runs posterior to which structures?
Ductus deferens (male) Uterine artery (female)
Why do the ureters run obliquely into the bladder?
Prevents backflow of urine from bladder into urethra when it distends

Apex
Base
Neck
The apex of the bladder lies?
Most anteriorly
