perineum Flashcards
the perineum is defined a the entire
outlet of the pelvic cavity
what separates the perineum from main pelvic cavity
pelvic diaphragm
anterior boundary of perineum
symphysis pubis
anteriorlateral border of perineium
inferior pubic rami
lateral bounder of perineum
ischial tuberosityies
posterolateral border of perineuum
sacrotuberous lig, inferior border of glut max
posterior border of perineum
tip of coccyx
the perineum can be broken into two parts
urogenital triangle and anal triangle
lithotomy position
like when give birth
what is the alcocks canal
wedge shaped space between glut max and pelvic diaphragm filled with fat (near ischial tuberosity)
what goes through the alcocks canal
the pudendal nerve and internal pudendal a, v
what muscle is in the anal triangle and find rectum
levator ani
contents of the anal triangle
anal canal: pectinate line, anal valves, anal columns
cutaneous nerves: inferior rectal n, perineal branch of s4, anococcygeal n
external anal sphincter: superficial portion, deep portion
ischioanal fossa/ischiorectal fossa: pudendal canal/alcock’s canal (contains pudendal n and vess)
site of () can occur at alcocks canal
abscesses
the gse fibers from the pudendal nerve supplies the
external anal sphincter
the internal anal sphincter is a layer of () muscles inntervated by () nerves
smooth, autonomic
anal columns aka
columns of morgagny
name of line where anal columns are connected forming the anal valves
dentate line
inner part of rectum is what tissue type
strat squamous nonk
lower part of rectum is what tissues type
strat squamous kera
what line separates the strat squam NK and strat sqaum ker
anocutaneous line or mucocutaneous line
what does fistula mean
abnormal connection b/w two cavities
what can cause abscesses
anal fissure at rectum and alcocks can communicate with iscioanal fossa
lower half of anal canal is from what embryo origin
ectoderm
the upper half is from what embryo orig
endoderm
the highest par tof anal canal is what tiss type
simple columnar
boundaries of urogenital tirangle
superficial fascia (fatty campers, membranous colles)
superficial perineal pouch/space
urogenital diaphragm
deep perineal pouch space
the space filled with muscles is
deep perineal pouch
what two things do u find in the deep perineal pouch
external urethral sphincter and deep transverse perineal muscle
where do u find the bulb of vestibule of vagina
superficial perineal space
the bulb of the vestibule is covered by muscle called
bulbospongiosus muscles
more lateral then the bulbospong adhering to inferior pubic rami is the () of the clit
crura of the clitoris/penis
what muscle covers the crura
ischiocavernosus
