Ligaments
1.
Sacrospinous ligament 骶棘韧带
Extend from the lateral border of the
sacrum and coccyx to the spine of the
ischium
Sacrotuberous ligament 骶结节韧带
Extend from the posterior aspect of the
lower 3 sacral vertebrae to the ischial
tuberosity

the Pelvic inlet, the pelvic out let and the pelvic
cavity

Types of pelvis
1.
The gynecoid type (女型骨盆)
round, slightly ovoid or elliptical inlet.
adequate sacrosciatic notch. wide
interspinous diameters(≥10cm). 52%58.9%
The platypelloid type (扁平型骨盆)
distinct oval inlet. very wide subpubic
arch. 23.2%-29%
2.
Pelvis
3.
4.
The anthropoid type (类人猿型骨盆)
long, narrow, oval inlet. extended and
narrow anterior and posterior segment.
wide sacrosciatic notch. long , narrow
sacrum. Straight side walls.
The android type (男型骨盆)
Pelvic floor

The tissues closing down the pelvic
outlet (muscles and fasciae)
suspend and support the pelvic organs,
such as uterus and bladder and rectum

Posterior part (urogenital triangle)
urethra and vagina pass through

Anterior part (anal triangle)
rectum pass through
Pelvic floor

Tissues
1.
Outer layer
Bulbocavernosus muscle (球海绵体肌)
Ischiocavernosus muscle (坐骨海绵体肌)
Superficial transverse perineal muscle (会阴浅横肌)
External anal sphincter (肛门外括约肌)
mid layer
urogenital diaphragm 泌尿生殖膈

3.
1)
2)
3)
Inner layer (pelvic diaphragm 盆膈)
the main support of the pelvic floor
formed by the levator ani and
coccygenus muscles and covering
fasciae.
Levator ani: pubococcygenus (耻尾肌),
iliococcygenus (髂尾肌), puborectalis (坐
尾肌)
Pelvic floor

Perineum
general conception: the tissues closing down
the pelvic outlet
Clinical conception: the tissues between
vagina and anus.
External genitalia

阴阜
Clitotis
Labium majus
阴蒂
大阴唇
Labium minus
Urethral orifice

Fossa navicularis
Perineal body
舟状窝
会阴体

External genitalia

Labia majora
The venous drainage is extensive and forms
a plexus with numerous anastomoses.
Vulva hematoma

Vaginal vestibule
Bordered by the labia minora laterally, by
the frenulum labiorum pudendal (阴唇系带)
posteriorly, by the urethra and clitoris
anteriorly, by the hymenal ring inferiorly.
Internal genitalia
Internal genitalia
Internal genitalia

Vagina
1.
strong canal of muscle (7.5cm)
extend from the uterus to the vestibule of the external
genitalia. its long axis is almost parallel with that of the
lower part of the sacrum. the anterior wall of the vagina is
1.5-2cm shorter than the posterior wall.
vaginal fornix
the circular cul-de-sac formed around the cervix
4 regions: the anterior fornix, the posterior fornix and 2
lateral fornices.

submucous area ( with a dense plexus of veins
and lymphatics)

Internal genitalia

Uterus
1.
Pear-shaped,thick-walled, muscular
organ
Body and cervix:
Babyhood 1:2, manhood 2:1
Isthmus uteri
connect the body to cervix, 1cm (nonpregnancy)

Layers of uterine wall
The serous layer (perimetrium)
Thin and firmly adherent over the fundous and
most of the body
Uterovesical pouch of the peritoneum
Rectouterine pouch of the peritoneum (pouch of
Douglas)
The muscular layer
Outer layer (longitudinal fibers)
Inner layer (interlaced and various directions)
Internal genitalia
The mucous layer (endometrium)
compact layer: response to hormone
periodically, a single layer of ciliated
columnar epithelium
spongy layer: response to hormone
periodically. contains many tubular
glands
funous: non-response to hormone periodically
3)
Internal genitalia

Cervix
1.
lower 1/3 of uterus. connects uterus
to vagina via endocervical canal
External os: opening of
endocervical canal to ectocervix
Internal os: indistinct upper limit of
endocervical canal
