Pelvis and Practical #2 Review Flashcards
Urinary bladder
Broad ligament
Divisions of the internal iliac artery
Posterior division of the internal iliac artery
Iliolumbar artery
Superior gluteal artery
Lateral sacaral artery
Anterior division of the internal iliac artery
Umbilical artery
Obturator artery
Exits pelvic cavity to supply lower extrimity (through obturator canal)
Uterine and vaginal arteries
Uterine artery is larger
Inferior vesicle artery comes off of vaginal artery in females
inferior and superior vesicle arteries
Middle rectal artery
Obturator internus
i. Attaches to bone around the obturator foramen and distally to the greater trochanter of the femur
ii. Innervation is the nerve to obturator internus (L5, S1, S2) from sacral plexus
Piriformis muscle
i. attaches along the anterolateral edge of the sacrum and the greater trochanter of the femur
ii. innervation—ventral rami from S1, S2 or nerve to piriformis
Levator ani muscles – form the pelvic floor attach
Puborectalis
Pubococcygeus
Iliococcygeus
Coccygeus muscle
Iliococcygeus
Muscles of the pelvic diaphragm
Innervated by anterior rami of S3 and S4 spinal segments
Quadratus Lumborum
Flexes laterally (trunk) when unilaterally activated
Innervated by T12 (subcostal n) and L1-4 anterior rami
Psoas major
Attaches to the transverse processes (superior attachement) of the lumbar spine and less trochanter of the femus (distal attachement)
Innervated by L2-4 (penetrates muscle before L2-4 forms the femoral nerve)
Major hip flexor
Psoas minor
Flexes the L-spine (attaches distally to pelvis)
Innervated by L2-4 (penetrates muscle before L2-4 forms the femoral nerve)
Iliacus
Innervated by the femoral nerve (L2-4)
Joins the psoas major in attaching to the trochanter of the femur to aid in hip flexion
What drains the superficial surface of the anterior abdominal wall and thorax
Thoracoepigastric veins
