Study Notes
Anatomy of the Pelvic Region: Nerves, Arteries, Lymphatic Trunks, and Perineal Structures
- Arterial supply to the pelvic region includes musculophrenic and pericardiacophrenic arteries, while venous drainage is through musculophrenic and pericardiacophrenic veins
- The lumbar plexus consists of nerves derived from ventral rami, such as the iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, femoral, obturator, and lumbosacral trunk, which innervate various structures
- Psoas major, quadratus lumborum, and iliacus are key muscles in the pelvic region, with specific origins, insertions, and actions
- Branches of the aorta and IVC supply the posterior abdominal wall, including inferior phrenic arteries, lumbar arteries, and middle sacral artery from the abdominal aorta, and lumbar veins and ascending lumbar veins from the IVC
- Intestinal and lumbar lymphatic trunks drain specific structures, such as the small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, and spleen to the cisterna chyli
- The perineum is separated from the pelvis by the thighs and buttocks
- The anal triangle is bounded by the ischium, obturator internus, external anal sphincter, sacrotuberous ligament, and pubic bones
- The perineal body is situated between the anal canal and the perineal membrane, connecting with the rectovesical or rectovaginal septum
- The superficial perineal pouch in males contains the root of the penis, spongy urethra, and various muscles, while in females, it contains the clitoris, bulbs of the vestibule, and greater vestibular glands
- A tear in the spongy urethra can lead to urine flow into the superficial perineal space, abdomen, and penis, and pelvic fractures can cause urine and blood to enter the deep perineal pouch
- The ischioanal (ischiorectal) fossa is bounded by the ischium, obturator internus, external anal sphincter, levator ani, sacrotuberous ligament, and pubic bones, and extends into the urogenital triangle
