    Study Notes

    Pelvic Structures

    • The iliac crest, posterior superior iliac spine, sacrospinous ligament, ischial spine, and sacrotuberous ligament are pelvic structures.

    Pelvic Bones

    • The bony pelvis comprises the innominate bones (two), sacrum, and coccyx.

    Innominate Bone Landmarks

    • The innominate bone possesses landmarks such as the anterior superior iliac spine, symphysis pubis, obturator foramen, inferior pubic ramus, posterior superior iliac spine, and posterior inferior iliac spine. It is formed by the fusion of the ileum, ischium, and pubis around the acetabulum.

    Pelvic Joints

    • The sacroiliac joint transmits body weight through the pelvis and lower limbs, permitting only minimal movement.
    • The sacrococcygeal joint, a synovial hinge joint, allows for flexion and extension, increasing the pelvic outlet's anterior-posterior diameter, assisting in parturition.
    • The symphysis pubis, a cartilaginous joint with no synovial membrane, exhibits very little movement. Posterior and superior ligaments are weak; strong anterior ligaments are reinforced by the rectus abdominis and external oblique muscles. Arcuate pubic ligaments strengthen the inferior pubic arch.

    Pelvic Floor Muscles (Superficial)

    • The superficial pelvic floor muscles include the gluteus maximus, coccyx, bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, deep transverse perineal, and superficial transverse perineal muscles.

    Pelvic Floor Muscles (Deep)

    • Deep pelvic floor muscles include: ischial tuberosity, gluteus maximus, coccyx, bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, deep transverse perineal, superficial transverse perineal, levator ani, obturator internus, piriformis, sacrotuberous ligament, sacrospinous ligament, anococcygeal ligament.

    Pelvic Pelvic Function

    • The bony pelvis supports and maintains internal female reproductive organs, bladder, and intestines. Also, aids voluntary control of micturition and defecation and maintains optimal intra-abdominal pressure.

    Pelvic Diameters

    • Anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, left oblique diameter, right oblique diameter, posterior sagittal diameter, and anterior sagittal diameter are important pelvic measurements. The obstetric conjugate, a crucial anteroposterior diameter for fetal passage, is approximately 11 cm. Diagonal conjugate is 12.5 cm. Important diameters also include the interspinous, subpubic angle, and bituberous diameters.

    Pelvic Types

    • Gynecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid are the four primary pelvic types. Gynecoid pelvic structure is favorable for vaginal delivery.

    Pelvic Inlet and Outlet

    • The pelvic inlet (pelvic brim), pelvic cavity, and pelvic outlet are parts of the true pelvis through which the fetus passes. The pelvic outlet's least dimensions are significant in the birthing process.

    Urogenital Triangle

    • The urogenital triangle incorporates the openings for the vagina, urethra, clitoris crura, vestibule bulbs, Bartholin's glands, urogenital diaphragm, and perineal body. The vestibule lies between the labia minora and extends from the clitoris to the fourchette.

    Pelvic Muscles

    • The pelvic floor muscles include the external anal sphincter, levator ani (pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and ischiococcygeus), and superficial and deep transverse perineal muscles. The pubococcygeus muscle, supports the perineum and creates functional sphincters for fecal and urinary continence.

    Other Structures/Details

    • The linea terminalis divides the false and true pelvis.
    • The pudendal nerve and pudendal artery innervate and perfuse the perineum.
    • Landmarks of the ischium assist in evaluating fetal positioning during labor and childbirth.

    Fetal Skull

    • Landmarks and diameters of the fetal skull, like the anterior and posterior fontanelles, sagittal suture, coronal suture, lambdoidal suture, and biparietal diameter, are essential to assess fetal engagement and birthing process dynamics. The largest transverse diameter is biparietal, and the largest AP diameter is verticomental. The smallest AP diameter is suboccipitobregmatic. The plane of least dimensions is important in birth process because of its effect on the birthing canal.
