Ligaments of pelvis
1-Sacrotuberous lig.
2-Sacrospinous lig.
3-Sacroiliac lig.
4-Sacrococcygeal lig
2

Sacrotuberous lig:

Sacrum&coccyx---------------Ischial tuberosity

Sacrospinous lig

Sacrum &coccyx--------------Ischial spine

Obturator membrane: Fibrous sheet closes the obturator


foramen & leaving a small gap called (obturator canal)

Diameters of pelvic brim (pelvic inlet)

1-Anteroposterior dia.
Extends from promontory of sacrum------------upper border
of symphysis pubis

2-Oblique dia.(12cm)
Sacroiliac joint-----------------iliopectineal eminence

3-Transverse dia.(13cm)

Extends between furthest points on opposite ileopectneal


lines

Action :
 Acts as a sling that support pelvic organs
 Resists the rise in intrapelvic pressure during
strain(couphing)
 Acts as a sphincter (anorectal sphincter & vaginal
sphincter)
Coccygeus M.
Ischial spine----------------------lower end of sacrum&coccyx
Action: Supports pelvic organs
 Anococcygeal body:Mass of fibrous tissue lies between
tip of coccyx& anal cnal
 Perineal body:Mass of fibrous tissue lies anterior to anal
canal
 Piriformis M.:
Sacrum---------passes through greater sciatic foramen--------
inserted into greater trochanter of femur
Action:Lateral rotates the femur at the hip

 Obturator internus
Pelvic surface of obturator membrane+Adjacent hip bone

Lesser sciatic foramen

Greater trochanter

Pelvic fascia

 It is formed of connective tissue


Above ---with fascia lining abdominal wall
Continuous
Below----with fascia of perineum
 Pelvic fascia is divided into parietal & visceral layers
15

Parietal pelvic fascia:


Lines the wall of pelvis & overlies the muscles of pelvis.it
is named according to the Underlying muscles
(example:obturator internus fascia)
Pelvic fascia above pelvic diaphragm is called
(superior fascial layer) which is continuous through
deficient anteriorly with( inferior fascial layer) that lies
on inferior surface of pelvic diaphragm

In perineum below pelvic diaph.


Parietal pelvic fascia covers sphincter urethra & perineal
membrane(perineal layer of parietal pelvic fascia)which
forms the superior fascial layer of fascia of urogenital
diaphragm
16

Visceral layer of pelvic fascia


It is formed of loose connective tissue covers all pelvic
organs
It is thickened to form ligaments & extends between
pelvic wall & pelvic organs
These ligaments are pubovesical & sacrocervical
