Lab 00, Station 2: Pelvic Cavity and Anal Triangle of Perineum
Lab 12 navigation Station 2: Pelvic Cavity and Pelvic Floor; Anal Triangle of Perineum Complete anatomy Muscles of the pelvic cavity Pelvic Cavity The pelvic cavity is below the pelvic brim, within the confines of the pelvic skeleton. It is continuous with the abdominal cavity above = the abdominal and pelvic cavities communicate via the […]

21. Pelvic vessels, nerves, and lymphatics
Optional Reading Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 8th ed., chapter 6, Neurovascular structures of pelvis section through Clinical box: Neurovascular structures of pelvis. Vascular supply of the pelvis Arteries The internal iliac arteries are the prime sources of blood to pelvic structures. They also supply musculoskeletal structures outside the pelvic cavity (hip and gluteal regions). Arising from […]

zLab 11: Peritoneal Cavity and Overview of GI
Download this lab as a PDF Goals Open the anterior abdominal wall and study its internal aspect. Examine the peritoneum, peritoneal cavity, mesenteries, omenta, and peritoneal ligaments. Locate the subparts of the greater sac. Study the lesser omentum and demonstrate the lesser sac. Study the organs of the abdominal cavity: liver, gallbladder, stomach, small intestines, […]
Autonomic innervation of thoracic organs
Now let’s take the principles of the ANS that we learned in Principles of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and apply them specifically to innervating thoracic organs. Autonomic nerve plexuses Autonomic motor and visceral afferent fibers reach and leave thoracic organs through autonomic nerve plexuses. Concept In autonomic plexuses, parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers and visceral […]
Heart and pericardium
Location of the heart and pericardium The heart and pericardium are located in the mediastinum, resting atop the diaphragm, between the lungs and pleural cavities. Owing to its development, most of the heart is located to the left side of the body’s midline. The size of the heart is described as that of the person’s […]
