Unit 5 Flashcards
2 parts of pelvis
false and true
False pelvis
- superior
- upper pelvis and lower lumbar
True pelvis
- inferior
- sacrum, coccyx
- inlet and outlet
Pelvic cavity
- enclosed by the true pelvis- consists of pelvic inlet, walls and floor
- continuous superiorly with abdominal cavity
- contains support elements for urinary, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems
Perineum
inferior to floor of pelvic cavity its boundaries form pelvic outlet contains and supports -external genitalia -external opening of genitourinary tract - gastrointestinal systems
Pelvic bone
irregular bone
- 2 major parts separated by oblique line
1) Above line- lateral wall of false pelvis, and part of abdominal cavity
2) Below line- lateral wall of true pelvis. and part of pelvic cavity
Components of the pelvic bone
1) Ilium
2) Pubis
3) Ischium
linea terminalis v. arcuate line
arcuate ligament forms part of linea teriminalis and pelvic brim
anteriomedial surface of iliac wing
iliac fossa
external surface of iliac wing
gluteal surface
-related to gluteal surface of lower limb
iliac crest
superior margin of ilium - attachment for muscles and fascia of -back -lower limb -abdomen terminates as 1) anteriorly- anterior superior iliac spine 2) posteriorly- posterior superior iliac spine
lateral projection of iliac crest
tuberculum of iliac crest
thickening of posterior end of iliac crest
iliac tuberosity
anterior inferior iliac spine
inferior to anterior superior iliac spine
-point of attachment for rectus femoris
AND iliofemoral ligament
posterior inferior iliac spine
inferior to posterior superior iliac spine
Bone marrow biopsy
iliac crest often used for bone marrow biopsies b/c -close to surface -palpable -easily accessed
Pubis
anterior inferior part of pelvic bone
Parts:
1) body
2) 2 arms
pubic symphysis
where bodies of pubic bones from each side articulate with one another
Pubic tubercle
where body of pubis ends
pectan pubis
superior surface of superior pubic ramus
superior pubic ramus
projects posteriorly from pubic tubercle
-joins with ilium and ischium
inferior pubic ramus
joins with ramus of ischium
posterior and inferior part of pelvic bone
ischium
2 parts of ischium
1) body- joins with iliums and superior pubic ramus
2) ramus of ischium- joins with body of ischium and inferior pubic ramus
ischeal spine
marks posterior margin of ischium
-seperates greater and lesser siatic notches
ischeal tuberosity
posteroinferior aspect of ischium
Attachment of lower limb muscles
Ala
winglike process on sacrum
Promontory
anterior edge of sacral vertebral body
anterior sacral foramina
on anterior side of sacrum
-for anterior ramia
posterior sacral foramina
on posterior surface of sacrum
-for posterior rami
sacral canal
continuation of vertebral canal
terminates as sacral hiatus
articulation points of sacrum with coccyx
cornua
-modified articular processes
Zygapophyseal joint
joint between inferior and superior vertebral processes
Lumbrosacral joints
1) zygapophyseal joints
2) intervetebral disc
- reinforced by iliolumbar and lumbrosacral ligaments
iliolumbar
extend from transverse processes of vert L5 to ilium
lumbrosacral ligaments
extent from transverse processes of vert L5 to sacrum
Pelvic joints
1) lumbosacral joints
2) sacro-iliac joints
3) Pubic symphysis joint
sacro-iliac joints
synovial joints between articular facets of sacrum and ilium of pelvis
-interlock with irregular contours to resist movement
sacro-iliac ligaments
stabalize sacro-iliac joints 3 for each joint 1) anterior sacro-iliac ligament 2) interosseus sacro-iliac ligament 3) posterior sacro-iliac ligament
