Pelvis 4 Flashcards
perineum
-region inferior to the pelvic diaphragm and is associated with the external genitalia and the anus
-divided into urogenital triangle and anal triangle
urogenital triangle
-anterior half of perineum
-bound by ischiopubic rami, pubic symphysis, and line drawn through ischial tuberosities
perineal membrane
-layer of tough fascia perforated by the urethra and vagina
-membrane separates deep and superficial perineal pouches
deep perineal pouch
-potential space between deep fascia of peliv diaphragm and perineal membrane
-contains part of urethra, external urethral sphincter, vagina, bulbourethral gland, and deep transverse perineal muscle
superficial perineal pouch
-potential space between perineal membrane (superior) and superficial perineal fascia (inferiorly) and ischiocavernosus, bulbospongiosus, and superficial transverse perineal muscles and erectile tissues that contribute to penis and clit
greater vestibular glands
located in superficial perineal pouch
superficial pouch bound posteriorly to
perineal body
perineal body
fibromuscular mass that acts as a point of attachment for muscle fibers from pelvic floor and the perineum
labia majora and labia minora frame…
..frames the vestibules that contains external urethral orifice, vaginal opening, ischiocavernosus, bulbospongiosus, and superficial transverse
clitoris located
under clitoral prepuce and consists of body and glans
proximal clit formation
bilateral corpora cavernosa and commissure of bulbs
distal clit formation
commissure of bulbs from the glans
posterior formation of the clit
corpora cavernosa expand to form the crura of clit and commissure of bulbs form vestibular bulbs
scrotum
-outpouching of the anterior abdominal wall
-contain superficial fascia and dartos muscles
dartos muscle
scrunches pepe
