1. components of pelvic girdle
right and left hip bones, sacrum, pubic symphysis
2. what connects sacrum and hip bone
sacro-iliac joint - no movement
3. what is the pubic angle; narrow in males, wide in females
angle between pubic symphysis (no movement) and inferior rami of the ischium
4. structure of hip bone
3 bones: ilium (main bone beneath iliac crest), pubis (anterior), ischium (posterior); fuse forming acetabulum
5. what is the false/greater pelvis
superior to margin of pelvic inlet; iliac fossa, ASIS
6. what is the true/lesser pelvis
inferior to margin of pelvic inlet; sacrum, coccyx, pubic tubercle, ischiopubic ramus, ischial tuberosity
7. what 3 foramen are present in true pelvis
greater and lesser sciatic foramen; obturator foramen
8. what ligament connects sacrum to ischial tuberosity
sacrotuberous ligament
9. what ligament connect sacrum to spine
sacrospinous ligament
10. what makes up the pelvic wall
sacrum and coccyx, pelvic bones, sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments
11. what angle is the pelvic cavity axis back from abdominal cavity axis
45 degrees
12. what is the boundary between abdominal and pelvic cavities
pelvic inlet
13. what is the boundary of the end of the pelvis (before reaching perineum)
pelvic outlet
14. what is the pelvic inlet comprised of antero-laterally
pubic tubercle, pubic symphysis, linea terminalis. sacrum
15. what are the 3 sections of the linea terminalis
pubic crest, pecten pubis, arcuate line
16. what are the boundaries of the pelvic outlet
coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament, ischial tuberosity, body of pubis, pubic symphysis, pubic arch
