Pelvis Flashcards
posterior edge of pelvis
os coxae
3 bones of os coxae
big top part: ilium
low posterior: ischium (sit on)
low anterior: pubis
posterior notches
greater/lesser sciatic notch
ischial spine in between
most caudal: ischial tuberosity
anterior notch and foramen
pubic symphysis
obturator foramen
in females, wider what?
greater sciatic notch
subpubic angle
circular pelvic inlet
where do we find pelvic viscera?
infraperitoneal
draping of peritoneum creates pouches infections might drain into
name of pouches (M vs. F)
m: rectovesicular
f: vesiculouterine & rectouterine
urethra size in M v F
female: short (UTI’s more common)
male: long, thru prostate & penis
male urethra parts (4)
- preprostatic (thru internal sphincter)
- prostatic (thru prostate)
- membranous part (passing thru external sphincter)
- spongy part (thru penis)
what contracts during ejaculation?
internal urethral sphincter
so don’t get sperm up in bladder
route of sperm
testis (develop)
epididymis (mature/stored)
ductus/VD in spermatic cord via inguinal canal
behind bladder to ejactulatory ducts
urethra: prostatic, membranous, spongy/penile
accessory glands contributing to semen
nutrition/transport/protection
2 seminal vesicles (post to bladder) single prostate (inf to bladder) 2 bulbourethral (communicate to spongy urethra)
bulbo glands do what?
clear out any remaining urine
benign prostatic hypertrophy
what is compressed?
common in M 55+
extra growth –> compressed prostatic urethra
prostate cancer
not overall hypertrophy
instead localized tumor may/may not compress urethra
slow-growing, but if metastasizes spreads FAST
digital rectal exam feels posterior half
uterus
body –> cervix –> vagina
round ligament of the uterus attaches where?
base of uterus
broad ligament
ovary to fallopian tube
