Intro of Pelvis Flashcards
false (greater pelvis)
superior aspect of pelvic bone& lower vertebra
part of abdominal cavity
true (lesser) pelvic
inf. region of pelvic bone, sacrum, coccyx
has an inlet & outlet
forms pelvic cavity
continuous with abdominal cavity
oulet of pelvic cavity
closed by pelvic floor
separates pelvic cavity to perineum below
perineum
describe sup and inf border
what does it contain
diamond shaped region between pelvic floor and thighs
contains external genitalia, opening for genitourinary & GI system
pelvic bone
composed of what parts
ilium: articulate with sacrum (sacroilliac joint
pubis: form by 2 rami (sup&inf) form by pubic symphysis & obturator foramen
ischium: forms the sit bone
acetabulum
suture in pelvic bone that will fuse illium, pubis, ischium at 16-18 years of age
illiac wing
concave anteriorly, forms illiac fossa
iliac crest
superior edge of iliac wing
anterior sup. iliac spine (ASIS)
ant. end of illiac crest
posterior sup. iliac spine
post end of iliac crest
acruate& pectineal lines
bisects ilium&pubic regions respectively
ischial spine
posterior bony projection
separates greater & lesser ciatic notches
ichial tuberosity
large swelling posterioinferiorly
obturator foramen
between pubic rami
closed by obturator membrane
sacrum
5 sacral vertebrae between fused vertebrae: sacral foramina base articulates with L5 apex: coccyx lateral surfaces articulate with pelvic bone- forming pelvic girdle
coccyx
small terminal part of vetebral column formed by fusion of 4 vetebrae
base articulates with sacrum
true pelvis
cylindrical channel
composed of inlet, wall and outlet
pelvic inlet
opening between abdominal & pelvic cavities
completely surrounded by bone & joints
Borders of pelvic inlet
upper border of true pelvis
composed of:
promontory (1st sacral) vertebra)
sacral transverse proccesses: alae (wings)
linea terminalis: bony rim on pelvic bone
arcuate line: rim on ilium region
pectineal line: rim on pubic region
pubic crest: sup. aspect of pubic symphysis
pelvic girdle
pelvic bone sacrum
female pubic arch and pelvic inlet
obtuse angle (80-85) inlet more circular
male pubic arch and pelvic inlet
angle between index & middle finger, acute
pelvic inlet more heart-shaped
pelvic wall muscles
orginate from pelvic cavity but attached to femur
obturator internus/ piriformis
obturator internus
flat fan-shaped orginating from deep surface of obturator membrane and perpheriry of foramen
contributes to anterolateral pelvic wall
leaves pelvic cavity through lesser sciatic foramen
bend around ischium to reach femur
