Thorax: Pelvis and perineum Flashcards
pelvis: name parts
- greater pelvis
- lesser pelvis
pelvis: greater pelvis
- false pelvis
- ilium and pubis above linea terminalis
- part of abdominal cavity
pelvis: lesser pelvis
- true pelvis
- sacrum and coccyx
- where pelvic floor exists
pelvis: structure which separates greater and lesser pelvis
pelvic inlet
pelvis: pelvic inlet and list borders
- superior pelvic aperture
- post/ lateral/ ant borders
pelvic inlet: post border
- pelvic brim
- sacral promontory
pelvic inlet: lateral border
- iliopectineal line
pelvic inlet: anterior border
- pubic symphysis
pelvic outlet: list borders
- inferior pelvic aperture
- post/ lateral/ ant borders
pelvic outlet: post border
- coccyx
- sacrum
pelvic outlet: lateral border
- ischial tuberosities and sciatic notch
pelvic outlet: anterior border
- pelvic arch btw converging pubic rami
orientation of pelvis tilt:
- coronal plane
- ASIS and pubic tubercle in same plane
obturator foramen: male
round
obturator foramen: female
oval
pelvic inlet: female
oval
pelvic inlet: male
heart shaped
pelvic outlet: which larger?
female
ischial spine projection: female
does not project far medially unlike males
lumbosacral joints: types
- zygapophyseal
- intervertebral discs
lumbosacral joints: classify IVD
- secondary cartilaginous (symphysis)
lumbosacral joints: ligaments associated
- iliolumbar
- ant longitudinal lig
- lumbosacral lig
sacroiliac joint: classification
synovial plane
sacroiliac joint: articulating surfaces
auricular surface of ilium + sacrum
sacroiliac joint: ligaments (5)
- interosseous lig
- ant sacroiliac
- post sacroiliac
- sacrotuberous lig
- sacrospinous
sacroiliac joint: movements
- gliding, slight rotation
- may ossify with aging
sacrococcygeal joint: classification
- IV disc
- 2ndary cartilaginous joint
pubic symphysis: classification
cartilaginous (symphysis)
pubic symphysis: articulating surfaces
- pubic bones (hyaline cartilage)
- symphyseal surfaces (fibrocartilage disc)
pubic symphysis: ligaments
- superior/ inferior pubic
pelvic ligaments during pregnancy: features
- pelvic joints/ ligs relax
- pelvic movement increase
- coccyx moves post during childbirth (accomodate for movement of foetus -> travel down birth canal)
- all these changes occur as result of increase in sex hormones and hormone relaxin
