This section covers one main area of the pelvis the perineum.
Pelvic floor muscles teach me anatomy.
The pelvic floor is a funnel shaped structure.
The main focus of this article will be the pelvic floor muscles on that topic there are several important questions that need to be answered.
This region contains structures that support the urogenital and gastrointestinal systems and it therefore plays an important role in functions as such micturition.
The pelvis s frame is made up of the bones of the pelvis which connect the axial skeleton to the femurs and therefore acts in weight bearing of the upper body.
The perineum is separated from the pelvic cavity superiorly by the pelvic floor.
Its arterial supply is largely via the internal iliac artery with some smaller arteries providing additional supply.
In order to allow for urination and defecation there are a few gaps in the pelvic floor.
Anteriorly by the pubic symphysis posteriorly by the coccyx and laterally by some of the bones and ligaments of the pelvis.
The pelvic cavity contains the organs of reproduction urinary bladder pelvic colon rectum and numerous muscles.
They support the pelvic organs especially during increases in intra abdominal pressure and also aid in urinary and faecal continence.
The pelvic floor is primarily made up of thick skeletal muscles along with nearby ligaments and their investing fascia.
Located between the thighs it acts as the inferior outlet of the pelvis.
Picture it like a sling or hammock that connects to each side of your pelvis and keeps your uterus bladder and bowel snugly in place.
It is formed by its anatomical borders.
In this article we will look at the anatomy of the pelvic arteries detailing their anatomical course branches and their clinical relevance.
It is located between the thighs and represents the most inferior part of the pelvic outlet.
It connects the axial skeleton to the lower limbs.
In this section learn more about the pelvic floor and the muscles of the pelvis.
There are many muscles that form the pelvic floor including puborectalis pubococcygeus iliococcygeus and coccygeus.
The pelvis is the lower portion of the trunk located between the abdomen and the lower limbs.
The perineum is an anatomical region in the pelvis.
It attaches to the walls of the lesser pelvis separating the pelvic cavity from the perineum inferiorly region which includes the genitalia and anus.
The pelvic girdle is a ring like bony structure located in the lower part of the trunk.
