Maternal Anatomy Chapter 2 Review Williams Obstetrics Felicia Katz 8/10/11
Blood Supply • Femoral artery branches • Superficial epigastric • External pudendal • Supply skin and subcutaneous tissue over lower abdominal wall and mons • External Iliac branches • Inferior epigastric vessels • Supply muscles and fascia of lower abdominal wall
Innervation • T7-12 • Ilioinguinal (L1) • Skin of lower abdominal wall, upper portion of labia majora, and inner thigh • Iliohypogastric(L1) • Skin over suprapubic area • Course between layers of rectus sheath lateral to rectus muscle
Vagina • Non-keratinized squamousepithelium, smooth muscle layer • Upper 1/3 mullerian derived • Lower 2/3 urogenitalsinus derived • Lubricated by transudate across subepithelial capillary plexus
Vascular Supply • Proximal portion supplied by cervical branch of uterine artery • Remainder by vaginal artery (variable origin) • Lower third and vulva lymphatics drain to inguinal nodes; remainder iliac nodes
Anus • IAS: constant resting tone for fecal continence; may be torn with 4th deg lacs • Anal cushions: venous plexus; cause of hemorrhoids • Dentate line: external hemorrhoids painful 2/2 innervated stratefiedsquamous epithelium
Uterus • Posterior aspect covered by visceral peritoneum (serosa) • Lower portion of anterior wall adjacent to bladder (dissected during c/s) • Nulliparous 6-8cm; multiparous 9-10cm • Majority of muscle fibers located at fundus, and at anterior and posterior walls as compared to lateral walls • Innervation • T11/T12 transmit pain sensation from contractions • Pudendal nerve transmits pain from lower vagina and skin
Cervix • Squamous epithelium on ectocervix • Columnar epithelium on endocervix
Blood Supply • Uterine artery • Branch of internal iliac • Courses along base of broad ligament toward cervix then branches in two and runs along uterine wall • Crosses over ureter 2cm from cervix • Ovarian artery • Direct branch from aorta • Enters broad ligament through IP ligament • Anastamoses with branch of uterine artery
Pelvic Inlet • Posterior boundary = sacral promontory • Anterior boundary = pubic symphysis • Lateral boundary = lineaterminalis Measure adequacy of inlet via the obsetrical conjugate (subtract 1.5-2cm from diagonal conjugate)
Mid-Pelvis • Ischial spines (10cm)
Outlet • Posterior boundary = coccyx • Anterior boundary = pubic arch
