Female pelvic diaphragm & perineum
Product code: HP0907
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The pelvic diaphragm separates the pelvic cavity and perineum, and in conjunction with the perineal membrane and ischioanal fossae provides dynamic support to the pelvic viscera, contributes to continence, and accommodates defecation, reproduction, and childbirth. This Silicone Plastinate provides clear views of the structure and relations of the female pelvic diaphragm and perineum. The external genitalia are also shown, alongside various musculature of the gluteal region and proximal thigh, and part of the femoral triangle.

Key features include
General
- Lesser pelvis, perineum, and parts of the gluteal region and proximal thigh.
- Pelvic viscera (female) and veins removed to reveal the pelvic diaphragm.
Muscles and regions - pelvis
- Greater pelvis mostly removed via an oblique (anteroinferior) cut to reveal the lesser pelvis and pelvic diaphragm.
- Structure, position, and attachments of the pelvic diaphragm, including levator ani and its tendinous arch.
- Anal canal, vagina, and urethra passing through the urogenital and anorectal hiatuses.
- Position, attachments, and relations of obturator internus.
- Obturator canal and its neurovascular contents.
- Oblique cross-sectional views of the hip joint, sacroiliac joint, pubic symphysis, and sacral spinal nerves in the sacral canal.
- Position, borders, and neurovascular content of the greater and lesser sciatic foramina.
- Ischioanal fossae and their neurovascular contents.
- Hip joints partly abducted to provide clear views of the perineal region.
Muscles and regions - lower limb
- Superficial to deep level muscles of the gluteal region and proximal thigh.
- Various muscles (e.g. gluteus maximus) are lifted/reflected/removed to reveal underlying structures and their layered arrangement.
- Proximal part and contents of the adductor canal.
Organs
- Female pelvic viscera mostly removed.
- Vagina, urethra, and anal canal passing through the pelvic diaphragm.
- Position and orientation of the anal canal and external anal sphincter.
- Female external genitalia (not dissected).
Neurovasculature
- Veins removed to provide clear views of underlying structures.
- Course, relations, and branches of key arteries including the gluteal, internal pudendal, obturator, and femoral arteries.
