perineum Flashcards
perineum
btwn coccyx and pubis
clinically often used to refer to central tendon of female
perineum boundaries
ant- pubis
lateral- ischiopubic rami and ischial tuberosities
post- coccyx and caudal sacrum
post/lat- sacrotuberous ligaments
superior- separated from pelvic cavity by pelvic diaphragm
UG diaphragm
stretches ant btwn 2 ischiopubic rami creating urogenital and anal regions
anal triangel boundaries
ant- posterior edge of UG diaphragm
post- boundaries of perineum
lat- ischiopubic rami and obtorator internus m below arcus tendineus
sup- inferior aspect of pelvic diaphragm
inf- skin and superficial fasica of peritoneum
ischioanal fossa
filled w/adipose tissue
sup- levator ani and pelvic diaphram
inf- skin of perineum
post- right and left ischioanal fossa communicate
ant- externa anal sphincter and UG diaphragm fuse, prevents communication
anterior recess
extends anteriorly btwn levator ani and UG diaphragm
anal triangle contents
external anal sphinchter
internal pudendal vessels
pudendal n
perineal branch of S4
external anal sphincter
divided into superficial, subcutaneous, and deep
superficial from central tendon of perineum to coccyx
deep encircles anal canal (major component)
internal pudendal vessels
brr of internal iliac
leaves pelvis thru greater sciatic foramen
crosses ischial spine and passes thru lesser sciatic foramen in pudendal canal
inferior rectal, perineal and deep and dorsal aa of penis
pudendal canal
aka alcocks canal
fascial canal created by splitting of obturator fascia
inferior rectal aa
first br after entering pudendal canal
supplies sphincter, anal canal, and skin of anus
perineal aa
arise near posterior edge of UG diaphragm
br from transverse perineal aa and posterior scrotal aa
deep and dorsal aa of penis
terminal brr of internal pudendal
run superior to UG diaphragm
pudendal n
follows same course as internal pudendal aa brr: inferior rectal perineal dorsal n to penis
inferior rectal nn
pierces pudendal canal to have same distribution of inf rectal aa
perineal n
distributes similarly to perineal aa
brr:
transverse perineal nn
posterior scrotal/labial nn
perineal br of S4
cutanous distribution to skin of posterior anal triangle
may contribute to innervation of external sphincter
perineal brr of femoral cutaneous
innervates most lateral aspect of anal and UF regions down onto medial thigh
