Anatomical spaces of the pelvic cavity Author: Lorenzo Crumbie MBBS, BSc Reviewer: Dimitrios Mytilinaios MD, PhD Last reviewed: July 27, 2022 Reading time: 11 minutes The pelvic cavity is formed by three bilateral pairs of bones (pubis, ilium and ischium) and two posteriorly located bones (sacrum and coccyx). Perimetrium is the outermost layer of the uterus which is folded anteriorly to form the vesicouterine pouch. 11106 1/1/2019 12/31/9999. The broad ligament serves as a mesentery for the uterus, ovaries, and the uterine tubes. The mesothelium is a membrane composed of simple squamous epithelial cells of mesodermal origin, which forms the lining of several body cavities: the pleura (pleural cavity around the lungs), peritoneum (abdominopelvic cavity including the mesentery, omenta, falciform ligament and the perimetrium) and pericardium (around the heart).. Mesothelial tissue also surrounds the male The upper end of the vagina is attached to the cervix of the uterus. The serous membrane that covers internal organs is called a visceral membrane; while the one that covers the cavity wall is called the parietal membrane. As is the case with most of the pelvic viscera, there are differences between male and female anatomy of the urinary bladder and urethra. 11951 1/1/2020 12/31/9999. Editor/authors are masked to the peer review process and editorial decision-making of their own work and are not able to access this work in the online manuscript submission system. Some sources consider it a part of the broad ligament of uterus while other sources just consider it a "termination" of the ligament. It helps in maintaining the uterus in its position, but it is not a major contributing factor. Leukoplakia is a firmly attached white patch on a mucous membrane Function: supports pelvic viscera, increases intraabdominal pressure, assists with fecal and urinary continence creating two peritoneal pouches: the rectouterine pouch of Douglas between the rectum and the uterus, and the vesicouterine pouch between the uterus and the bladder. The uterus, the compartment where every single individual in the past and present has developed and those in the foreseeable future will start to do so.It is the place where organ systems and a recognizable form start to form. The peritoneal cavity is not completely closed in females the uterine tubes open into the peritoneal cavity, providing a potential pathway between the female genital tract and the abdominal cavity.

The greater omentum (also the great omentum, omentum majus, gastrocolic omentum, epiploon, or, especially in animals, caul) is a large apron-like fold of visceral peritoneum that hangs down from the stomach. It is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, fibrous ligament, or true ligament.Other ligaments in the body include the: Peritoneal ligament: a fold of peritoneum or other membranes. A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. ; Periodontal ligament: a group of fibers that ; Periodontal ligament: a group of fibers that The suspensory ligament of the ovary, also infundibulopelvic ligament (commonly abbreviated IP ligament or simply IP), is a fold of peritoneum that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis..

As is the case with most of the pelvic viscera, there are differences between male and female anatomy of the urinary bladder and urethra. Retropubic space is a potential avascular space located between the pubic symphysis and the urinary bladder.The retropubic space is a preperitoneal space, located behind the transversalis fascia and in front of peritoneum.. Other names for the retropubic space are "Cave of Retzius" or "Retzius' space", named after the Swedish anatomist Anders Retzius (1796-1860). The uterus, also known as the womb, is an about 8 cm long hollow muscular organ in the female pelvis and lies dorsocranially on the bladder.It consists of several anatomical parts, such as the cervix, isthmus, and body. The serous membrane (or serosa) is a smooth tissue membrane of mesothelium lining the contents and inner walls of body cavities, which secrete serous fluid to allow lubricated sliding movements between opposing surfaces.
