Specific Objectives
- Students should be able to describe the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system.
- Students should be able to discuss the female pelvic bones, joints, and ligaments.
Classification of Female Genital Organs
- Supportive structures
- Internal organs
- External organs
Bony Pelvis
- Ilium, the largest part of the hipbone
- Ileac crest
- Sacrum, a large triangular bone
- Ischium, forms the lower part of pelvic girdle
Hip Bones
- Consists of ilium, ischium, and pubic bone
- Each hip bone is a fused structure
Sacrum
- Solid bone formed from five fused sacral vertebrae
- Has an intervening vertebral disc
Coccyx
- Composed of 4-5 fused, tapered, rounded bones
- Articulates with the sacrum
Functions of the Pelvis
- Supports the weight from the spinal column
- Protects the lower organs: urinary bladder, reproductive organs, developing fetus
Pelvic Joints
- Symphysis pubis: connects the two pubic bones
- Sacro-iliac joints:connect the sacrum to the ilium
- Sacrococcygeal joint: connects the sacrum to the coccyx
Pelvic Ligaments
- Interpubic ligaments
- Sacro-iliac ligaments
- Sacrococcygeal ligaments
- Sacrotuberous ligaments
- Sacrospinous ligaments
- Iliolumbar ligaments
Types of Pelvis
- Gynecoid: Round, adapted for childbirth
- Android: Heart-shaped outlet
- Anthropoid: Oval-shaped outlet
- Platypelloid: Wide transverse outlet, kidney shaped
Classification of the Pelvis
- Lesser pelvis (true pelvis): Area below the pelvic brim
- Greater pelvis (false pelvis): Area above the pelvic brim, bordered by the ilium
Division of the Female Pelvis
- Inlet (upper pelvic opening)
- Pelvic cavity
- Outlet
Pelvic Inlet/Outlet Landmarks
- Inlet: symphysis pubis, promontory, pelvic rim, arcuate line
- Outlet: coccyx, symphysis pubis, ischial tuberosities
Pelvic Diameters
- Different diameters (anteroposterior, transverse, oblique) are essential for childbirth.
