FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Sameena.isat@student.manchester.ac.ukLEARNING OBJECTIVES • Describe the anatomical arrangement of the pelvic walls & floor • Describe the anatomical arrangement of the perineum and female external genitalia • Relate the changes in fundal height during pregnancy to anatomical landmarks PELVIC WALLS • Which bones contribute to the: oPosterolateral wall & roof ▪ sacrum and coccyx oLateral wall ▪ Ilium and ischium oAnteroinferior ▪ Pubic bodies, superior and inferior •Symphysis pubis is not a rami. bony componentWHAT ARE TH E FUNCT IONS OF T HE PELVIC MUS CLES 1. SUPPORT PELVIC ORGANS – Bladder, intestines, rectum and uterus 2. CONTINENCE – Controles the sphincters of the urethra and anus 3. RESISTANCE TO INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE – During activities like lifting, sneezing etc 4. MOVEMENT – Contributes to hip movement 5. PATHWAYS FOR NEUROVASCULAR STRUCTURES – transmits nerves and blood vesselsThe 4 muscles excluding piriformis go in alphabetical order Anococcygeal body is a mass of fibrous tissue which lies between the PELVIC FLOOR anus and the coccyx • Made up for 4 muscles. Three of which form the Levator ani.

LIGAMENT S • Sacrotuberous – Lateral wall of sacrum and coccyx - Ischial tuberosity • Sacrospinous – Lateral margins of the sacrum and coccyx - Ischial spine • Sacroiliac – Sacrum to the posterior iliumANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?W HAT IS THE PERINEUM? • A compartment of the pelvis that lies inferior to the pelvic floor • Diamond shaped when observed from below WHAT IS THE FUNCTION? • It has a function of protecting and supporting your urogenital (uterus, vagina, rectum and bladder) and gastrointestinal systems • Therefore, it plays a role in micturition, defecation, sexual intercourse and childbirthLABEL THE BOUNDARIES • ANTERIOR – Pubic symphysis • ANTEROLATERAL – Ischiopubic rami • LATERAL – Ischial tuberosities • POSTEROLATERAL – Sacro tuberous ligament • POSTERIOR – Coccyx • ROOF – Pelvic diaphragm • FLOOR – Skin of the genital area ANAL AN D UROGEN ITAL TR IAN GLES - Imaginary line drawn between the ischial tuberosities - Anal triangle same in both males and females - Urogenital – bit different - The midpoint of the 'line' marks the perineal body – a fibromuscular mass.ANAL TRIANGLE • Anal canal & External anal sphincter • Ischioanal fossa is a wedge shaped space that lies either side of the anus. IT contains fat and loose connective tissue which supports the anal canal and permits distention during defecation. • Roof is formed by the fascia covering the pelvic diaphragm Not covered inferiorly • Pudendal nerve • Internal pudendal artery • Internal pudendal veinUROGEN ITAL T RIAN GLE - External genitalia - Transverse perineal muscles, Ischiocavernosus, bulobspongiosus - Orifices of the urethra and vagina in females - Covered inferiorly by a tough sheet of fascia – PERINEAL MEMBRANE - Superficial perineal pouch – Inferior to the mebrane - Deep perineal pouch – superior to the membraneCON TEN T S OF TH E PERIN EAL POUCHES SUPERFICIAL POUCH DEEP POUCH • Bulbs of vestibule • External urethral sphincter • Ischiocavernosus muscle • Deep transverse perineal muscle • Clitoris • Perineal body • Superficial transverse perineal muscles • Bulbospongiosus • Greater vestibular glands UROGEN ITAL MUSCLES MUSCLE ORIGIN INSERTION SUPERFICIAL TRANSVERSE ischial tuberosity perineal body PERINEAL DEEP TRANSVERSE PERINEAL Ischial ramus Perineal bdy ISCHIOCAERNOSUS ischial tuberosity ischial rami BULBOSPONGIOSUS Male: Perineal Male: Perineal membrane, dorsal aspect of corpus body, median spongiosum and corpora cavernosa, fascia of bulb of perineal raphe penis Female: Pubic arch, fascia of corpora cavernosa Female: Perineal and clitoris body EXTERNAL ANAL SPHINCETR EXTERNAL URETHRAL SPHINCTERP UD ENDAL NERVE • Main nerve to the perineum • Arises from ventral rami of S2,3&4 • Route: exits pelvic cavity through Greater sciatic foramen, passes through gluteal region and then enters erineum through the lesser sciatic foramen • Gives of 3 branches: o Inferior rectal - external anal sphincter, mucous membrane of the lower half of the anal canal, perianal skin o Dorsal nerve of clitoris – supplies clitoris o Perineal nerve - muscles of urogenital diagram, skin on posterior surface of the labia majoraFEMALE EXTERNAL GENITALIA • Clitoris – formed of erectile corpora cavernosa tissue that fills with blood during sexual stimulation • Mons pubis – subcutaneous fat.It is the part that bears most of the pubic hair. • Labia majora – external skin folds. Hair baring. • Labia Minora – internal hairless skin folds. Anteriorly fused to form the clitoris. Posteriorly merge to form a fold of skin called the fourchette. • Vestibule – enclosed by the labia minora. Contains vaginal and urethral openings. • Bartholion glands/greater vestibular glands – secrete lubricating mucus from small ducts during sexual arousal into the vestibule • Skenes glands/lesser vestibular gland – secrete a fluid during sexual arousal Pudendal cleft – the opening between the labia majora.GESTATIONAL AGE FUNDAL HEIGHT 12-14 WEEKS Pubic symphysis 16 WKS Between umbilicus and pubic symphysis 20-22 WKS Umbilicus 36 WEEKS Xiphoid process
