pelvics
2. Bony pelvis
Composition: formed by paired hip
bones, sacrum, coccyx, and their
articulations
Two portions
Greater pelvis
Lesser pelvis
Terminal line ( pelvic inlet): formed
by promontory of sacrum, arcuate
line, pecten pubis, pubic tubercle,
pubic crest, upper border of pubic
symphysis
Pelvic outlet: formed by tip of
coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament,
ischial tuberosity, ramus of ischium,
inferior ramus of pubic symphysis
14. Pelivic diaphragm
Formed by
Superior fascia of pelvic diaphragm
Levator ani and coccygeus
Inferior fascia of pelvic diaphragm
Hiatus of pelvic diaphragm
17. Pelvic fascia
Parietal pelvic fascia Lines the
pelvic walls and is regionally named
according to the muscle it overlies.
Above the pelvic inlet, it is
continuous with the fascia lining the
abdominal walls.
Superior fascia of pelvic diaphragm
Inferior fascia of pelvic diaphragm
18. Pelvic fascia
Visceral pelvic fascia
A layer of loose connective tissue that
covers and supports all the pelvic viscera.
Ensheathes retroperitoneal viscera and
forms septa between retroperitoneal
organs
Rectovesical septum
Rectovaginal septum
Vesicovaginal septum
19.
20. Spaces of pelvic fascia
Retropubic space
Lies between pubic symphysis
and urinary bladder
Pararectal space
Lies around the rectum
Retrorectal space
22. Common iliac artery
Continuation of abdominal
aorta at level of L4 vertebra
Run downward and
laterally to end opposite the
sacroiliac joint by dividing
into internal and external
iliac arteries.
23. Internal iliac artery
Parietal branches
Obturator a.
Iliolumber a.
Lateral sacral a.
Superior gluteal a.
Inferior gluteal a.
Internal pudendal a.
24.
25. Internal iliac artery
Visceral branches
Umbilical a. → superior vesical
a.
Inferior vesical a.
Uterine a.
Internal pudendal a.
Inferior rectal a.
26.
27.
28. Internal iliac artery
Uterine a.
-about 2cm from neck of uterus it
crosses above and in front of ureter
Water below bridge
31. Internal iliac artery
Internal pudendal artery
Course: leaves the pelvis through the
infrapiriform foramen and enters the
gluteal region. It enters the perineum
through the lesser sciatic foramen and
then passes forward in the pudendal
canal with the pudendal nerve.
Branches
Anal artery
Perineal artery
Dorsal artery of penis (clitoris)
33. Veins of pelvis
Internal iliac vein
Parietal tributaries: accompany
with arteries
Visceral tributaries
External iliac vein–
accompany the artery
Common iliac vein
Formed by union of internal and
external iliac veins in front of
sacroiliac joint
End upon L4~L5 by uniting each
other to form inferior vena cava
34. Veins of pelvis
Internal iliac vein
Parietal tributaries: accompany with arteries
Visceral tributaries
① Rectal venous plexus →superior rectal vein→inferior mesenteric v.
→inferior rectal vein→internal iliac v.
→anal vein→internal pudendal v.
② Vesical venous plexus →vesical v.
③ Uterine venous plexus →uterine v.
35. Venogram showing the veins
of the pelvis and groin.
Contrast medium has been
injected into the bodies of
the pubic bones.
36. The lymphatic drainage of pelvis
Internal iliac lymph node
Surround internal iliac vessels
Receive afferents from pelvic viscera,
perineum, buttock and back of thigh
External iliac lymph nodes
Lie along external iliac artery
Receive afferents from lower limb and
some parts of pelvic viscera
Sacral lymph node
Common iliac lymph node
Lie along common iliac artery
Receive afferents from all the above
nodes
Efferent pass to lumbar lymph node
37. Sacral plexus
Formation:
formed by anterior rami of L4 and L5
spinal nerves (the lumbrosacral trunk)
and anterior rami of sacral and
coccygeal nerves
Position:
lies in pelvic cavity, anterior to
sacrum and piriformis

38. It is located in the
pelvis, where it is
closely related to the
anterior surface of
the piriformis.
The position of Sacral plexus
39. It is formed by
lumbosacral trunk and
anterior branches of
sacral and coccygeal
nerves.
Ⅴ The sacral plexus
42. Autonomic plexuses of plevic
Hypogastric plexus
Superior hypogastric plexus :
lies in front of L5 between common iliac
ateries
Inferior hypogastric plexus (pelvic
plexus): lie on each side of rectum
Sacral sympathetic trunk
Is continuous above with the abdominal
part
Has 4 or 5 ganglion
46. Relations of rectum
Anteriorly in male
Fundus of bladder
Seminal vesicle
Prostate
Ampulla ductus deferentis
Pelvic part of ureter
Anteriorly in female
Neck of uterus
Vagina
47. Relations of rectum
Posteriorly
Sacrum and coccyx
Piriformis
Median and lateral sacral vessels
Anterior branches of sacral and
coccygeal nerves
Sacral sympathetic trunk and ganglion
impar
Laterally
Pelvic plexus
Superior and inferior rectal vessels
Levator ani
48. Vessels and lymphatics of rectum
Arteries
Superior rectal a.
Inferior rectal a.
Median sacral a.
Lymphatic drainge
Pararectal ln.
Superior → superior rectal ln.
Inferior → internal iliac ln.
Posterior → sacral ln.
49. Relations of urinary bladder
Superior surface (covered by
peritoneum)
Small intestine
Sigmoid colon
Body of uterus, when bladder if empty
Posterior surface
In males
Seminal vesicle
Ampulla of ductus deferens
Rectum
In females
Vagina
Neck of uterus
50. Relations of urinary bladder
Inferolateral surfaces (devoid of
peritoneum)
Anteriorly-retropubic pad of fat
and pubic bone
Posteriorly -fascia overlying
obturator internus and levator ani
muscles
Apex -pubic symphysis
Neck (below and least mobile)
In the male, rests of prostate and
urogenital diaphragm
In the female,rests directly on
pelvic fascia surrounding the short
urethra
51. Relations of uterus
Anteriorly
- separated by vesicouterine
pouch from superior surface of
urinary bladder
Posteriorly
- separated by rectouterine pouch
and rectovaginal septum from
rectum
