Pelvis Flashcards
Divergance laterally with the gap in between the urogenital diaphragm
Subfasical space
Separates the deep and superficial perineal spaces
Deep perineal fascia (perineal membrane)
Separates the superficial perineal and subcutaneous perineal spaces
Colle’s Fascia (superficial perineal fascia)
Superior surface of the pelvis
Falase (Greater) pelvis
Inferior surface of the pelvis
True (lesser) pelvis
Dividing line between the true and false pelvises
Linea Terminalis (Pelvic brim/Pelvic inlet)
What cavities does the linea terminalis demarcate?
Peritoneal cavity (into greater pelvis) and pelvic cavity(lesser pelvis)
What 3 bony landmarks does the linea terminalis incorporate?
Pubic tubercle, pectineal line, arcuate line
Term for the arcuate line and continuation of the pectineal line
Iliopectineal line
Elevation on the superior margin of the pubic symphysis which serves as the main attachment site for the inguinal ligament
Pubic tubercle
Ridge of bone extending from the pubic tubercle along the superior ramus of the pubis to the level of the acetabulum; lacunar ligament attaches here
Pectineal line
Along the medial surface of the ilium from the acetabulum to the sacroiliac joint, posterior continuation of the pectineal line
Arcuate line
Separates the greater and lesser sciatic notches
Ischial spine
Spans from the anterlateral surface of the sacrum to the ischial spine
Sacrospinous ligament
Spans from the posterior surface of the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity
Sacrotuberous ligament
