Perineum Flashcards
Levator ani forms
Floor of pelvis and roof of perineum
Blood supply and innervation of perienum
Internal pudendal artery
Pudendal nerve
How do internal pudendal artery and pudendal nerve leave pelvis and enter perineum
Greater sicatic foramen
Lesser sicatic foramen
Roof/floor of lesses sciatic foramen
Roof - sacrotuberous lig
Floor - Sacrospinous lig
Pudendal canal
Internal pudendal artery and pudendal nerve become covered with deep fascia and lie on obturator internus
Branches of internal pudendal artery nad pudendal nerve
Inferior rectal artery and nerve
Perineum boundaries
Pubic symphysis
L/R ischiopubic ramus
L/R ischial tuberosities
Coccyx
Two triangles of perineum
Urogenital triangle (anterior ) Anal triangle (posterior)
Orientations of triangle
Urogen - horizontal with floor
Anal - vertical
Urogenital triangle divided into
Deep and superficial pouch of perineum
Deep pouch location, composition, innervation
Below levator ani and expands entire urogen triangle
Muscle and conn tissue membrane
Voluntrary control by perineal branches of pudendal nerve
What must happen before micturition can occur?
Muscles of deep pouch must relax
Perineal membrane
Inferior membrane of deep pouch
External genitalia location
Below deep pouch
In the superficial pouch
Contents of deep pouch
Deep transverse perineal muscle External urethral sphincter muscle Compressor urethra (female) Membranous urethra Bulbourethral glands (males) Branches of pudendal nerve - dorsal nerve and arteries of the penis and clitoris
