the deep perineal space allows passage of what structure in males and females? | urethra in both, vagina in females |
what forms the boundaries of the deep perineal space? | superior- inferior fascia of pelvis; inferior-perineal membrane |
what defines the deep perineal space in both sexes? | space between the inferior fascia of pelvis and perineal membrane |
in male, what are structures in the deep pouch? | deep transverse perineus muscles; fibers of the deep transverse perinei that encircle the membranous urethra, and bulbourethral glands |
deep transverse perineus muscles in male attach where? | right and left ischiopubic rami and meet in the midline |
fibers of the deep transverse perinei encircle what? what will this form? | membranous urethra; sphincter urethrae muscle |
bulbourethral ducts pass where? | inferior to the glands, pierce the perineal membrane to empty into penile urethra |
in female, deep perineal space consists of: | sphincter urethrae muscle and deep transverse perineus muscles |
how do the fibers of the sphincter urethre muscle run in females? | only covers anterior surface of urethra |

what connects the posterior sacrum with the ischial spine? | sacrospinous ligament |
what do the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligament prevent? | upward rotation of the lower end of the sacrum (nunation) |
the posterior sacroiliac ligament attaches wherre? | posterior to sacroiliac joint between posterior ilium and 3rd and 4th segments of the sacrum |
