Test2 Flashcards
aka vesicouterine recess. potential space between the uterus and urinary bladder
anterior cul-de-sac
on the opposite side
contralateral
on the same side
ipsilateral
aka greater or major pelvis. area superior to and anterior to the pelvic brim
false pelvis
aka lesser or minor pelvis. portion of the pelvis cavity interior and posterior to the pelvic brim
true pelvis
aka pelvic brim or linea terminalis. the inner surface of the pubic and iluim bones contains a bony ridge, which serves as the line dividing the true and false pelvis
iliopectineal line
combination of the psoas major, psoas minor and iliacus muscle
iliopsoas muscle
increase in size
hypertrophy
aka innominate line. line drawn from the pubic crest to the arcuate line dividing the true and false pelvis
linea terminalis
aka posterior cul-da-sac or retrounterine recess. potential space between rectum and uterus
pouch of douglas
aka properitoneal space. space between the pubic symphysis and urinary bladder
space of retzius
a ring composed of four bones
osseous pelvis
sacrum,coccyx, and two innomitate bones form
osseous pelvis
how many sacral vertebrae are in the sacrum
5
how many fused coccygeal vertebrea compose the coccyx?
4
three main functions of the female pelvis
protects reproductive organs
directs pathway for fetus
weight bearing bridge between spine and lower limbs
what lines above linea terminalis
false pelvis
made up of the pectineal line and the arcuate line
linea terminalis
abdominanopelvic region contains what muscles
rectus abdominis
psoas major
what muscles lie within the false pelvis
iliacus
what muscles lie within the true pelvis
obturator internus
piriformis
coccygeus
levator ani
urinary bladder is anterior to
uterus
what is posterior to uterus
rectum
contraindications for transvag
prepuberty
rupture of membranes in pregnancy
TV and EV advantages
higher frequency = better detail
better res
proximal to area of interest
TV and EV disadvantages
small field of view
discomfort for pt
limited pt population
Trans abdominal advantages
global view
can be preformed on everyone
trans abdominal disadvantages
lower frequency req for penitration
less anatomic res
discomfort due to extremely full bladder
pelvic organs include
external genitalia urinary bladder and urethra uterus, FT, and vagina ovaries colon and rectum
organs of false pelvis
illeum
sigmoid colon
organs of true pelvis
pelic colon rectum bladder uterus ovaries fallopian tubes vagina suspensory ligaments
4 segments of the uterus
fundus
corpus (body)
isthmus
cervix
most cephalad portion of the uterus
fundus
largest part of the uterus
body
