Rectum
Anal canal
Name the internal male reproductive parts
Vas deferens

Scrotum with testes
Epididymis
Name the female reproductive parts
Uterus
Fallopian tubes
Overies
Vagina
from anterior to posterior, label the viscera
bladder
vagina
rectum
what is the bladder pressed against
the pubic bone, it is anterior
what is the rectum the last part of
the gastrointestinal tract
what is superior to the bladder
the small intestine
what separates the organs of the pelvis to the organs of the abdomen
the peritoneum. the lining of the abdominal cavity which is draped over the organs of the pelvis
why is the uterus so muscular
for mass contractions, to squeeze the baby out of the birth canal in labour
what links the lumen inside the uterus to the vagina
the cervix
what does the perineum contain and where is it located
inferior to the pelvic cavity
Contains the external genitalia and external openings of thegenitourinary and gastrointestinal systems
what is the Fallopian tube
a hollow tube linking the space within the uterus with the ovaries
where are the ovaries located
superior to the anterior part of the uterus.
located towards the sides of the pelvic bowl
function of the ovaries
producing hormones
producing eggs/ovum
function of fallopian tube
collect eggs via the finbri, pass the egg along the tube and into the uterus
name the track of urine from the kidney
kidney
ureter
bladder
urethra
which way does the bladder expand
superiorly, blocked by pubic bone and organs in other directions
vas deferens location
long muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, posterior to the bladder.
function of the vas deferens
transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejacutaltion
what is the location of the prostate gland
inferior to the bladder
what tubes are located in the prostate gland
ejaculatory duct
urethra
where is the seminal vesicle located
posterior of the bladder
what is the function of the seminal vesicle
a little gland producing a secretion (which contributes to ejaculation) from its duct.
where is the bulbourethral glands located and what is their function
pea shaped exocrine glands located posteriorly and lateral to the urethra.
contribute to the final volume of semen.
what is the scrotum
the bag of skin that holds the testicles to protect them
name the blood supply given to organs inside the peritoneum
internal iliac artery branches. aorta runs laterally next to them and also enters perioteneum
what is the pubic symphysis
the joint located between left and right pelvic bone, it helps to absorbs some weight from your upper body before it travels to the lower body.
what type of joint is the pubis symphysis
secondary cartilaginous joint
where is the perineum located
sensitive skin between genitals and the anus
Name the 2 main functions of the pelvis
Anchorage for muscles and organs in the pelvis.
-Support the weight of the upper body and organs liek bladder, recto, anal canal, reproductive tracts
What does viscera mean
Organs
What systems are in the pelvis
Urinary
Reproductive
Gastrointestinal
What structure of the gastrointestinal system are housed in the pelvis
Sigmoid colon
Rectum
Anal canal
Where is the greater trochanter located
Infeirorly and laterally to the femoral head
Where is the lesser trochanter located
Inferiorly to the femoral head. Medially on the femur
