35
what covers the obturator foramen
obturator membrane
36
what are the contents of the obturator foramen
passage of obturator nerve to leave pelvis and enter thigh
37
what forms the inferior wall
formed by pelvic diaphragm
38
function of pelvic diaphragm
divides true pelvis into main cavity and perineum
39
function of inferior wall
supports the pelvic viscera
40

platypelloid
46
identify the type of pelvis favors transverse presentations
platypelloid
47
identify the type of pelvis occurs 24% in white and 41% in black women - 2nd most common

android
52
identify the type of pelvis aka male or funnel shaped pelvis
android
53
relate delivery to an android pelvis
larger babies have hard time bcs of bony prominence kase funnel shaped but smaller can squeeze through
54
what makes up the pelvic diaphragm
levatores ani and occygeous muscles and their fascia
55
why is the pelvic diaphragm incomplete anteriorly
allows passage of urethra in males and urethra and vagina in females
56
location of anterior fibers of levator ani
forms a sling around the prostate or vagina
57
function of anterior fibers of levator ani
support prostate, constricts vagina and stabilizes perineal body
58
location of puborectalis fibers of levator ani
sling around rectum and anal canal
59
function of puborectalis fibers of levator ani
sphincter for poop

puborectalis and pubococcygeous
61
location of posterior fibers of levator ani
iliococcygeus is from iluem to coccyx
62
action of levator ani
form muscle sling that supports and maintains pelvic viscera in positions resist rise in intrapelvic pressure - resist GI organs in reaching pelvis sphincter action

64
it is continous with fascia of abdomen and perineum
