Pelvis Flashcards
What two bony structures does the inguinal ligament connect to?
- ASIS
2. Pubic Tubercle
What rests on top of the PIRIFORMIS muscle?
Sacral Plexus (L4,L5, S1, S2, S3, S4)
The performs travels through the GREATER SCIATIC FORAMEN to the Greater trochanter of the Femur? What is its function?
Piriformis
LATERAL ROTATOR OF THE THIGH
What two muscles insert onto the Greater Trochanter? Onto the lesser trochanter?
- Obturator & Piriformis
2. Iliacus M. & Psoas Major
What innervates the Obturator Internus? What is the function of this muscle?
Nerve to Obturator Internus
fx: LATERAL ROTATOR
What innervates the Piriformis muscle?
Ventral Rami L5, S1, S2
What nerve innervates Psoas & Iliacus?
- Psoas = Ventral Rami of L1
2. Iliacus = FEMORAL N.
What two muscles form the pelvic diaphragm?
- Coccygeus Muscle
&
- Levator Ani
What is the mnemonic for the order of vessels & nerve in regards to Femoral Nerve?
NAVL
(from lateral to medial)
Femoral Nerve
Femoral Artery
Femoral Vein
Lymphatics*
What structures pass through the Obturator Canal? Where is the nerve passing through this canal found in relation to the PSOAS muscle?
Obturator Nerve & Artery
- found MEDIAL to Psoas Major
The limbo sacral trunk is the first section of the Sciatic Nerve. What lumbar branches make up this trunk?
L4 & L5
What is the nerve responsible for the sex organs?
PUDENDAL NERVE
- S2,3,4 keeps the junk off the floor*
What is everything ABOVE the Piriformis muscle? Below?
Above = Superior Gluteal Nerve & Artery
BELOW = Inferior Gluteal
What muscle makes a 90 degree turn out the lesser sciatic foramen to the Greater Trochanter?
OBTURATOR muscle
- sits over Obturator Foramen
What provides the ADDED support to the Pelvic Diaphragm? ( reinforces Levator Ani & Coccyges)
UROGENITAL Diaphragm
What artery becomes the FEMORAL Artery once it crosses the Inguinal Ligament?
EXTERNAL ILIAC
What artery is found between the Lumbosacral Trunk & S1 root, which leaves out the Greater Sciatic Foramen?
Superior Gluteal Artery
What artery leaves the Greater Sciatic foramen, loops around the Sacrospinous Ligament, and returns back through the Lesser Sciatic Foramen?
Internal Pudendal Artery
What is the largest artery that also provides the Medial umbilical Fold? What division of the Internal Iliac A. is it?
UMBILICAL ARTERY
- ANTERIOR DIVISION
What arteries are part of the posterior division of the Internal Iliac? Of the ANTERIOR?
Posterior:
- Iliolumbar
- Lateral Sacral
- Superior Gluteal
Anterior:
- Umbilical
- Superior Vesicle - Obturator
- Inferior Vesicle (Vaginal & Uterine A in female*** test)
- Middle Rectal
- Inferior Gluteal
- Internal Pudendal A.
What artery is not found in females but instead is the Vaginal & Uterine Artery in females?
Inferior Vesicle
replaced by Uterine A.
Where does the Superior Rectal, Middle Rectal, & Inferior Rectal Originate from?
Superior Rectal = IMA
Middle Rectal = Anterior Division of Internal Iliac
Inferior Rectal = off of INTERNAL PUDENDAL
