Pelvis and female reproductive anatomy Flashcards
what 3 bones make up the bony pelvis
ischium
ilium
pubis
which of the 3 bones of the pelvis is posterior
ischium
which 2 bones of the bony pelvis meet at the acetabulum
ilium
pubis
the 3 bones that make up the bony pelvis are posteriorly bordered by
sacrum
coccyx
the lesser pelvis is also called the
true pelvis
the greater pelvis is also called the
false pelvis
the lesser pelvis houses what organs
reproductive organs
the greater pelvis houses what organs
abdominal organs
the greater/false pelvis is a continuation of what cavity
abdominal cavity
the false pelvis contains portions of the
colon
small intestine
what structures travel through the greater/false pelvis before entering the true pelvis
ureters
blood vessels
the true/lesser pelvis is separated from the false pelvis by the
pelvic inlet
the pelvic inlet is also called
the pelvic brim
what does the true/lesser pelvis contain
urinary bladder
distal colon
majority of reproductive organs
between the false and true pelvis, which has a high concentration of important organs and vessels
true pelvis
anterior border of the pelvic inlet
pubic symphysis
lateral border of the pelvic inlet
arcuate line of ilium and pectinate line of pubis
posterior border of the pelvic inlet
sacral promontory and ala
sacrospinous ligament
ischial spine –> sacrum/coccyx
sacrotuberous ligament
ischial tuberosity –> sacrum
3 sacroiliac ligaments
anterior
posterior
interosseous
which sacroiliac ligament provides structure for SI joint
interosseous sacroiliac ligament
pubic arch in male
generally < 70 degrees
is the pelvic inlet more or less narrow in a male
pelvic inlet is more narrow in a male
does a male or female pelvic bone have increased density and thickness
male pelvic bone has increased bone density and thickness
does a male or female pelvic have a more pronounced ischial spine
male pelvic has a more pronounced ischial spine
is the coccyx fixed in a male or female pelvis
coccyx is fixed in a male pelvis
pubic arch in female
generally > 80 degrees
is the pelvic inlet wider or narrower in a female pelvis
pelvic inlet is wider in a female pelvis
coccyx becomes more flexible due to what hormone
relaxin
components of the female reproductive tract
external structure/vulva
vagina
cervix
uterus
fallopian/uterine tubes
ovaries
which structures make up the external structure/vulva
mons pubis
glands
labia
clitoris
vestibule
which structure in the external female structure provides pelvic shock absorption
mons pubis
glands in external female reproductive structure
paraurethral (both sides of urethra)
greater vestibular
what structure of the external female reproductive structure allows for closure of vaginal orifice
labia
which structure in females is the pleasure center and signals the arousal cascade
clitoris
which structure in females contains the opening of the vagina proper
vestibule
homologous structure for clitoris
glans penis
homologous structure for prepuce
prepuce
homologous structure for body of penis
body of clitoris
