Pelvis - non muscles Flashcards
What is the pelvic cavity separated by ?
pelvic brim (/inlet/superior pelvic aperture)
What are the parts of the pelvic cavity ?
- True pelvis
2. Fale pelvis
Whats another name for true pelvis?
Lesser
Whats another name for false pelvic?
Greater
What is the false pelvic continuous with
abdominal cavity
What are the 4 anatomical landmarks that form the superior pelvic aperture?
- Sacral promontory
- Anterior border of sacral ala
- Terminal line
- Symphysis pubis
What is the terminal line formed by?
- Arcutate line
- Iliopubic eminence
- Pecten of pubis
What 5 things is the inferior pelvic aperture formed by?
- Symphysis pubis
- Ischiopubic ramus
- Ischial tuberosity
- Sacro-tuberous ligament
- Coccyx
The SI joint is what type of joint?
Synovial planar/ gliding joint
What surfaces are the SI joint formed by?
- Auricular surface of ilium
2. Auricular surface of sacrum
_________ = when promontory moves anteriorly and inferiorly into pelvic space
nutation
________ = promontory moves posteriorly and superiorly.
counternutation
Why is the SI joint so critical?
Passes body weight from spinet lower limbs
Around age 40-45, what type of joint may the SI joint turn into (in 70% of the population)?
fibrous joint
Why does the SI joint turn into a fibrous joint in 70% of the population between ages 40-45?
Around this age we lose muscle mass and as a result the support that is normally provided by muscles to the join does not exist anymore; since we need a lot of stability in this joint the solution is to turn into fibrous joint.
The symphysis pubis is a _________ joint between the bodies of pubic bones.
Cartilaginous
The articular surfaces of the symphysis pubis are covered by _______ cartilage.
hyaline
A larger of _______ cartilage binds the pubic bones together.
fibro
The sub-pubic angle is formed between the two inferior pubic ______ and is wider in (males/females).
rami; women
What degree is the sub-pubic angle in men? in women?
90; 110
What are the 7 ligaments in the SI joint area?
- Anterior sacro-iliac
- Posterior sacro-iliac
- Sacro-Spinous
- Sacro-tuberous
- Ilio-lumbar
- Anterior longitudinal
- Interosseous sacro-iliac
Expansion of what ligaments causes the change of the SI from a synovial to a fibrous joint?
interosseous
What two ligaments are expansions of the poster SI ligament?
- Sacro-tuberous
2. Sacro-spinous
What two muscle groups is the pelvic diaphragm made up of?
- Levator ani
2. Coccygeus
What are the 3 sets of muscles that make up levator ani?
- Pubo-rectalis
- Pubo-coccygeus
- Ilio-coccygeus
What is prolapsus referring to?
the inferior displacement of the pelvic viscera
Why do we have the peraneum muscles?
Because of the weak midline in the pelvic diaphragm due to the structures passing through.
What structures are located in the urogenital triangle?
Urethra and vaginal canal
What is the name given to the posterior half of the diamond formed by the inferior pelvic region?
anal triangle
What is the purpose of the superficial transverse perinei muscle?
stabilize perinei body so other muscles can use it as a base
Paralysis of what muscle would lead to urinary incontinence?
deep transverse perinei
What muscle maintains an erection? (aka alex’s favourite)
ischio-cavernosus
Paralysis of what muscle would lead to increased UTI’s? Why?
Bulbospongiousus (males); squeezes out last bit of urine, if this does not occur their is always some urine left in the urethra, leading to an increased risk of UTI’s.
All perineal muscles are innervated by what nerve?
Pudental
Where is the superficial perineal pouch located?
Between skin and perineal fascia
