pelvis and perineum Flashcards
fold of perineum that extens from side of uterus to lateral wall of pelvis and surrounds uterine tube
broad ligament
broad ligament over ovary
suspensory ligament
parts of broad ligament
mesovarium, mesoalpinx, and mesometrium
Uterosacral ligament
from cervix to middle of sacrum
ligament in the broad ligament- and connects ovary to ligament
ovarian ligament
continued ovarian ligament
round ligament
ligament from certive to middle of sacrum
uterosaral ligament
forms base of penile (clitoral) musculature and penis (clitoris)
perineal membrane
immediately anterior to rectum
cervix
most anterior organ in pelvis
bladder
bone connecting two pubic bones
pubic symphosis
lowest extent of peritoneal cavity
pouches
space that allows bladder to expand
paravesicular fossa
Organ that is extraperiotoneal and encircles the urethra

umbilical
The pelvic splanchnic nerves primarily carry ____________ to the _____________ plexus.
presympa to superior hypogastric plexus
bounderies of the perineum are as follows.
Anterior: pubic symphysis; Anterolateral: ischiopubic rami; Lateral: ischial tuberosities; Posterolateral: sacrotuberous ligament; Posterior: tip of the coccyx.
The artery which supplies blood to the major erectile body in both the male and female is the
deep artery of the penis/clitoris
