The Pelvic Wall Anatomy

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show False (greater): above pelvic brim, portion of abdomen between iliac fossa. True Pelvis: below pelvic rim  
🗑
show Pelvic inlet: pubic symphisis and crest, iliopectineal lines, sacral promontory (1st sacral vertebra). Pelvic outlet: pubic symphisis , ishiopubic ramus, ischial tuberosities, sacrotuberous ligaments, coccyx  
🗑
show The Pelvic Diaphragm  
🗑
show Pubic bone, pubic symphisis  
🗑
What structures form the lateral wall of the pelvis?   show
🗑
What structures form the posterior wall of the pelvis?   show
🗑
show Fibrous sheet, almost completely encloses obturator foramen, but leaves a small gap (obturator canal) for the passage of obturator nerve and vessels  
🗑
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
🗑
show Incomplete anteriorly at the urogenital hiatus to allow for the passage of the urethra (males and females) and the vagina (females)  
🗑
What nerve supplies the pelvic diaphragm?   show
🗑
show Parietal pelvic fascia, visceral pelvic fascia, and superitoneal fascia  
🗑
Describe the parietal pelvic fascia   show
🗑
show Thickening of the obturator internus fascia; important as the origin of a large portion of the levator ani muscle  
🗑
show Looser connective tissue investing the pelvic viscera (bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum)  
🗑
Describe the subperitoneal pelvic fascia   show
🗑
show bifurcates at the pelvic rim in front of the sacroiliac joint into external and internal arteries  
🗑
Describe the path of the external iliac artery   show
🗑
Describe the path of the internal iliac artery   show
🗑
show OA (branch of the abdominal aorta), SRA (terminal branch of the inferior mesenteric artery), and MSA (branch of the abdominal aorta  
🗑
show Divides into posterior and anterior divisions, though there is a lot of variation.  
🗑
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.  
🗑
show iliolumbar artery, lateral sacral artery, superior gluteal artery  
🗑
Describe the path of the lateral sacral arteries   show
🗑
show Usually separates the lubosacral trunk from the ventral ramus of S1; leaves greater sciatic foramen above the piriformis muscles  
🗑
show Umbilical artery, obturator artery, inferior vesical artery, middle rectal artery, uterine artery, vaginal artery, internal pudental artery, inferior gluteal artery  
🗑
Describe the path of the umbilical artery   show
🗑
Describe the path of the obturator artery; what is an anomalous obturator artery and why is it significant?   show
🗑
show Gives off artery to the ductus deferens  
🗑
Describe the areas supplied by the middle rectal artery   show
🗑
show passes medially within cardinal ligament below the root of the broad ligament; passes above the ureter near the lateral fornix of the vagina  
🗑
Describe the path and area supplied by the vaginal artery   show
🗑
show Exits the pelvis between the piriformis and coccygeus muscles running with the pudental nerve  
🗑
Describe the path and area supplied by the inferior gluteal artery   show
🗑
show Correspond closely with the arteries; tirbutaries of internal iliac vein communicated freely with each other and others outside of their territory of drainage-->vertebral venous plexus and internal iliac vein anastomose, often leading to metastases  
🗑
What nerves comprise the sacral plexus   show
🗑
Where do the sacral plexus branches exit through?   show
🗑
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
🗑
