Study These Flashcards
A

Depressed area lined with peritoneum b/w the urnary bladder and uterus

25
What is the rectouterine pouch?
Cul de sac of Douglas | Depressed area lined with peritoneum b/w uterus and rectum
26
What are the components of membranous pelvic fascia?
Parietal pelvic fascia including obturator fascia and tendinous arch of pelvic fascia + visceral pelvic fascia
27
What is parietal pelvic fascia?
Lines the muscular walls of the pelvis including the obturator internus, piriformis, levator ani and coccygeus muscles Includes obturator fascia and tendinous arch of pelvic fascia
28
What is obturator fascia?
Lines the pelvic side of the obturator internus M Continuous superiorly with transversalis fascia Forms the walls of the pudendal canal Forms the tendinous arch of the levator ani M
29
What is the tendinous arch of pelvic fascia?
Made of the puboprostatic L (anterior part in males), pubovesicle (anterior part in females) and the sacrogenital L (composed of rectoprostatic L in males and uterosacral* L in females)
30
What is the visceral pelvic fascia?
Surrounds pelvic viscera except where the pelvic viscera penetrate the pelvic diaphragm and the parietal and visceral layers come together to form the tendinous arch of pelvic fascia
31
Which two ligaments can become damaged during pregnancy/child birth?
Uterosacral and transverse cervical L
32
What are the two components of pelvic fascia?
Membranous pelvic fascia + endopelvic fascia
33
What is endopelvic fascia?
Composed of loose and condensed parts
34
What is loose endopelvic fascia?
Fat filled potential spaces | Includes retropubic space, paravesical space, pelvirectal space, retrorectal space
35
What is the retropubic space?
Prevesical space Between pubis and urinary bladder Continuous posterolaterally with the paravesical space
36
What is the paravesical space?
Between obturator fascia and anterior part of the hypogastric sheath Separated from the pelvirectal space by the hypogastric sheath
37
What is the pelvirectal space?
Surrounding the rectum | Separated into anterior and posterior parts by the lateral rectal L
38
What is the rectorectal space?
Presacral sapce Between the sacrum and rectum Continuous anterolaterally with the pelvirectal space
39
What is condensed endopelvic fascia?
Increased density of collagen and elastic fibers Responsible for compartmentalizing the loose endopelvic fascia Includes hypogastric sheath
40
What is the hypogastric sheath?
Thick band of condensed fascia Serves as conduit for nerves and vessels going from the lateral pelvic wall to the pelvic viscera including the uterus and in the male the ductus deferens Divided into anterior, middle and posterior lamina
41
What is the lateral L of the bladder?
Extension of the hypogastric sheath to the urinary bladder
42
What is the middle lamina of the hypogastric sheath?
Includes rectovesical septum in males between the rectum and urinary bladder And the transverse cervical L (cardinal L) which is an extension of the hypogastric sheath to the cervix
43
What is the lateral rectal L?
Extension of the hypogastric sheath to the posterior aspect of the rectum
44
What is the perineum?
``` A quadrangular space when viewed from the inferior aspect Pubic symphysis (anterior), the coccyx (posteriorly), the two ischial tuberosities (laterally) Divided into two triangular spaces including the urogenital triangle (anterior) and anal triangle (posterior) ```
45
What is the anal triangle?
Includes the ischioanal fossa and pudendal canal
46
What is the ischioanal fossa?
Around the wall of the anal canal inferior to the pelvic diaphragm Narrow superiorly, wide inferiorly Filled with fat and loose CT that allows for expansion of the anal canal during defecation
47
What is the pudendal canal?
Space inside the obturator fascia which transmits the internal pudendal A, V and pudendal N
48
What is the urogenital triangle?
Includes the perineal membrane, superficial perineal fascia, deep perineal fascia, superficial and deep perineal pouch
49
What is the perineal membrane?
Extends between the two sides of the pubic arch | Covers the anterior portion of the inferior pelvic aperture
50
What is the superficial perineal fascia?
Continuous with the superficial fascia of the abdomen Made up of fatty and membranous component Fatty fascia forms the fatty layers of the labia major and mons pubis, replaced by penis and scrotum in the male Membranous fascia forms dartos fascia and penis + scrotum
51
What is the deep perineal fascia?
In the female exists as the perineal membrane | In the male makes up the deep fascia of the penis and perineal membrane
52
What is the superficial perineal pouch?
Between membranous superficial perineal fascia and perineal membrane
53
What are the contents of the superficial perineal pouch in the male?
Bulb and crura of penis, superficial perineal muscles, proximal spongy urethra, branches of internal pudendal A and V, and of the pudendal N
54
What are the contents of the superficial perineal pouch in the female?
Crura of clitoris, bulbs of the vestibule, superficial perineal muscles, greater vestibular glands, branches of internal pudendal A and V, and of the pudendnal N
55
What is the deep perineal pouch?
Open superiorly and lies inferoanteriorly to the urinary bladder
56
What are the contents of the deep perineal pouch in the male?
