Question
Answer
What are the general locations of the false pelvis? The true pelvis?   show
🗑
What are the borders of the true pelvis?   show
🗑
show The Pelvic Diaphragm  
🗑
show Pubic bone, pubic symphisis  
🗑
show Hip bone below the pelvic inlet, obturator membrane, obturator internus muscle (N. nerve to obturator internus), A. laterally rotates thigh)  
🗑
show Sacrum and coccyx; piriformis muscle (N. nerve to the piriformis, A. laterally rotates thigh).  
🗑
What is the obturator membrane?   show
🗑
This ligament extends from the lateral part of the sacrum and coccyx to the ischeal tuberosity   show
🗑
show Sacrospinous ligament  
🗑
What are the functions of the sacrotuberous and the sacrospinal ligaments?   show
🗑
What muscles comprise the pelvic diaphragm?   show
🗑
What structures pass through the diaphragm?   show
🗑
Where is the diaphragm incomplete? Why?   show
🗑
show Pelvic surface: ventral rami of S3 and S4; Perineal surface: perineal branch of the pudental nerve  
🗑
show Parietal pelvic fascia, visceral pelvic fascia, and superitoneal fascia  
🗑
Describe the parietal pelvic fascia   show
🗑
What is the arcus tendinous?   show
🗑
show Looser connective tissue investing the pelvic viscera (bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum)  
🗑
show Continued extraperitoneal fascia from abdomen into pelvis; condensation of the fascia form ligaments (e.g. Females have pubovescial, transverse cervical [Mackenrodt's], and sacrouterine ligaments); ligaments blend with parietal and visceral fascia  
🗑
Describe the blood supply of the major branching/branches of the common iliac artery   show
🗑
show Continues the path of the common iliac artery along the pelvic brim  
🗑
show Passes down into pelvis and contributes most of blood supply to the pelvis EXCEPT for ovarian artery, superior rectal artery, median sacral artery  
🗑
show OA (branch of the abdominal aorta), SRA (terminal branch of the inferior mesenteric artery), and MSA (branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
Describe the path and the divisions of the internal iliac artery   show
🗑
show Ascends along lumbosacral trunk in front of ala of sacrum; often separates lumbosacral trunk from obturator nerve medial to the psoas major m., supplies iliacus and psoas major m.  
🗑
What are the (3) major branches of the posterior division of the internal iliac artery?   show
🗑
Describe the path of the lateral sacral arteries   show
🗑
Describe the path and areas supplied by the superior gluteal artery   show
🗑
show Umbilical artery, obturator artery, inferior vesical artery, middle rectal artery, uterine artery, vaginal artery, internal pudental artery, inferior gluteal artery  
🗑
show gives off superior vesical arteris (supplies urinary bladder) and continues forward as the medial umbilical ligament  
🗑
Describe the path of the obturator artery; what is an anomalous obturator artery and why is it significant?   show
🗑
Describe the path / area supplied by the inferior vesical artery (males only)   show
🗑
show Actually supplies reproductive organs  
🗑
Describe the areas supplied by the uterine artery   show
🗑
show homolog of inferior vesical artery in the male; runs to the side of the vagina and then descends into perineum; helps supply the bladder  
🗑
Describe the path and area supplied by the internal pudental artery   show
🗑
Describe the path and area supplied by the inferior gluteal artery   show
🗑
Describe the veins of the pelvis (briefly)   show
🗑
What nerves comprise the sacral plexus   show
🗑
show GReater sciatic foramen  
🗑
What is the lumbosacral trunk?   show
🗑
show (S2-S4) and internal pudental vessels: exit via greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis m., hooks around sacrospinous ligament; enters perineum via lesser sciatic forament and enters pudental canal along wall of ischiorectal fossa  
🗑
show Preganglionic parasympathetics from S2 - S4  
🗑
Where does the obturator nerve originate from?   show
🗑
Describe the path of the pelvic sympathetic trunk   show
🗑
