Functional anatomy of the female pelvic floor.
The anatomic structures in the female that prevent incontinence and genital organ prolapse on increases in abdominal pressure during daily activities include sphincteric and supportive systems. In the urethra, the action of the vesical neck and urethral sphincteric mechanisms maintains urethral closure pressure above bladder pressure. Decreases in the number of striated muscle fibers of the sph...
متن کاملThe functional anatomy of the female pelvic floor and stress continence control system.
This paper provides an overview of the functional anatomy of the structures responsible for controlling urinary continence under stress. The stress continence control system can be divided into two parts: the system responsible for bladder neck support, and the system responsible for sphincteric closure. Age- and injury-related changes in each of these systems are discussed. Understanding the p...
متن کاملAnatomy and neurocontrol of the pelvic floor.
Neural control of pelvic organs is affected by a unique coordination of somatic and autonomic motor nervous systems. Sensory information and feedback is supplied by both visceral and somatic sensory fibers. The anatomical features of the pelvic floor and perineal muscles, and their innervation are described. Altogether more detailed information is known in humans on the peripheral innervation a...
متن کاملThe Nature and Aim of Investigations on the Structural Anatomy of the Female Pelvic Floor
I. The Aim of Structural Anatomy.?This necessitates, in the first place, a definition of what we mean by the term " Pelvic Floor." As the structural anatomy has its special bearing on the functions of the pelvic floor, it is to be defined so as to satisfy clinical and not dissectional requirements. The abdominal cavity has its inner aspect defined by peritoneum, and therefore I would define the...
متن کاملDynamics of the Female Pelvic Floor
Female urinary incontinence has been recently termed a “silent epidemic”, requiring systematic attention and a multidisciplinary approach towards economically ameliorating its impact. In this paper we examine the role of the pelvic floor (PF) in maintaining urinary continence by evaluating the dynamics produced during its voluntary and reflex activation. Analytical methods for the acquisition a...
