Pelvis I Flashcards
Boundaries of the pelvis
ilium
pelvic floor
Where is the Iliac fossa
on the antermedial surface
Arcuate line
on antermedial surface for muscle attachment
Acetabulum
convergence of all 3 bony components
Ramus of ischium
contributes to obturator foramen
lined by membrane and muscle
forms portion of lateral pelvic wall
Ischial spine
important for muscle attachment
Rami of the pubis
2 of them
contriute to obturator foramen
superior rami of pubis
extends from body towards actebulum
inferior fami of pubis
extends from body towards ischial ramis
Sacroiliac joint
synovial
binds sacrum to ilium
transfers weight from torso to lower limb
Lumbosacral joint
junction between L5/S1
secondary cartilaginous joint
small IV disc
anterior longitudinal ligament maintains integrity
Sacrococcygeal joint
junction between coccyx/sacrum
secondary cartilagious joint
very small IV disc
pubic symphysis
fibrocartilagous joint
moveable
Relaxin
given during childbirth, increases mobility of pusbic symphysis
Sacrospinous ligament
from sacrum to IS
changes greater sciatic notch into greater sciatic foramen
Sacrotuberous ligament
from scarum to IT
changes less sciatic notch into lesser sciatic foramen
female ilium
more flared
more laterally placed
compressed/shortened
male ilium
elongated
female pelvic inlet
oval shaped
