Structure and Compartmentation - Pelvis and Perineum III Flashcards
pelvic vasculature
internal iliac artery
-branch from common iliac artery
divides at upper border of piriformis
- posterior trunk
- anterior trunk
posterior trunk of internal iliac
iliolumbar artery
lateral sacral artery
superior gluteal artery
iliolumbar artery
first branch of posterior trunk internal iliac a
lumbar branch - psoas and quadratus lumborum
iliac branch - to iliacus m.
lateral sacral artery
branch of posterior trunk internal iliac artery
2 from one trunk:
- 1st enter first anterior sacral foramen
- to vertebral canal and skin/muscles of dorsal sacrum
- anastomose with superior gluteal
- 2nd descends sacrum
- medial to anterior foraminae
- branches similar to first
superior gluteal artery
continuation of posterior trunk of internal iliac
leaves pelvis - greater sciatic foramen
-exits above piriformis
inferior gluteal artery
may be termination of posterior trunk internal iliac but usually terminal branch of anterior trunk
exits greater sciatic foramen below piriformis
anterior trunk of internal iliac artery
arises along lateral pelvic wall lateral to pelvic plexus
typically give rise to all pelvic visceral branches
very variable**
-rely on where they go
branches of anterior trunk
umbilical artery middle rectal artery inferior rectal artery obturator artery internal pudendal artery superior vesicle artery vaginal artery (F) inferior vesicle artery (M) middle vesicle artery inferior gluteal artery
middle sacral artery
arises from aorta along surface of sacrum
-small communicating branches to lateral sacral arteries
superior rectal artery
branch of inferior mesenteric artery
-to posterior wall of rectum
internal iliac vein
tributaries roughly follow arteries
iliolumbar vein
companion of lumbar branch of iliolumbar artery
formation of ascending lumbar vein in abdominal region
anastomotic venous connections
link:
visceral pelvis plexus
bony pelvic plexus
spinal venous plexus
possible routes of transmission - infections and metastatic cells
cruciate collateral circulation
ovarian artery with uterine artery
in females
important if ligate during surgery
innervation of pelvis
lumbar plexus
sacral plexus
lumbar plexus
ventral rami - T12-L5
in substances of psoas major m.
linked superiorly to T12 and L1
lumbosacral trunk - ventral rami L4,5
-contribute to lumbosacral plexus
sacral plexus
ventral rami S1,2,3
joined by lumbosacral trunk
forms within pelvis - anterior surface sacrum and lateral borders of sacrum
lumbosacral trunk
ventral rami L4,5
5 major nerves from lumbosacral plexus
anterior division:
obturator n.
tibial n. (medial and lateral plantar nn.)
posterior division:
femoral n.
common fibular n.
sciatic nerve
largest nerve to exit plexus
-bundle of tibial and common fibular nerve**
femoral nerve
posterior division of lumbar plexus
obturator nerve
anterior division of lumbar plexus
common fibular nerve
posterior division of sacral plexus
tibial nerve
anterior division of sacral plexus
