Q

Why does the SI joint turn into a fibrous joint in 70% of the population between ages 40-45?

A

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.

26
What is prolapsus referring to?
the inferior displacement of the pelvic viscera
27
Why do we have the peraneum muscles?
Because of the weak midline in the pelvic diaphragm due to the structures passing through.
28
What structures are located in the urogenital triangle?
Urethra and vaginal canal
29
What is the name given to the posterior half of the diamond formed by the inferior pelvic region?
anal triangle
30
What is the purpose of the superficial transverse perinei muscle?
stabilize perinei body so other muscles can use it as a base
31
Paralysis of what muscle would lead to urinary incontinence?
deep transverse perinei
32
What muscle maintains an erection? (aka alex's favourite)
ischio-cavernosus
33
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.
34
All perineal muscles are innervated by what nerve?
Pudental
35
Where is the superficial perineal pouch located?
Between skin and perineal fascia
36
What does the superficial perineal pouch contain?

37
Where is the deep perineal pouch located?
Above fascia
38
What is found in the deep perineal pouch?
deep transverse and superficial transverse perinei
39

43
Posterior cutaneous n?
S1,S2,S3
44
Pudendal n.?
S2,S3,S4
45
Nerve to piriformis?
S1, S2
46
Perforating cutaneous n.?

Skin of lateral surface of the lower limb
58
What is the inferior boundary of the gluteal/hip region?
Skin fold known as gluteal fold
