2. Bony pelvis
Composition: formed by paired hip
bones, sacrum, coccyx, and their
articulations
Two portions

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

(pubovaginalis)

16. 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

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.

25. Internal iliac artery
Visceral branches
Umbilical a. → superior vesical
a.
Inferior vesical a.
Uterine a.
Internal pudendal a.
Inferior rectal a.

28. Internal iliac artery
Uterine a.
－about 2cm from neck of uterus it
crosses above and in front of ureter
Water below bridge

29. Uterine a.
ureter

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
①Rectal venous plexus →superior rectal vein→inferior mesenteric v.
→inferior rectal vein→internal iliac v.
→anal vein→internal pudendal v.
②Vesical venous plexus →vesical v.
③Uterine venous plexus →uterine v.

of the pelvis and groin.

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.
