Pelvis, pelvic diaphragm & female external genitalia
Product code: HP0903
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The pelvis houses and protects organs of the reproductive, urinary, and gastrointestinal systems, while simultaneously contributing to the structure of the trunk, transmitting forces between the trunk and lower limb, and providing attachment points for muscles acting on the lower limb and trunk. The pelvic diaphragm provides essential dynamic support to many pelvic viscera and contributes to continence. This Silicone Plastinate focusses on the structure and relations of the female pelvis and pelvic diaphragm. The external genitalia are also revealed, alongside the musculature of the gluteal region and proximal thigh, and key regions including the femoral triangle and inguinal canal.

Key features include
General
- Half pelvis with gluteal region and proximal thigh.
- Female pelvic viscera and veins mostly removed.
Muscles and regions - pelvis
- Transverse section of the vertebral column and abdominal wall at the level of the inferior lumbar vertebrae (approximately L3/L4).
- Cross (transverse) sectional view of the cauda equina with its meningeal coverings in the vertebral canal, and various epaxial muscles of the back.
- Muscles and aponeuroses of the inferior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall, and their layered arrangement.
- Position and structure of the inguinal canal and inguinal rings.
- Muscles of the lower limb originating from the pelvis and vertebral column (e.g., iliopsoas).
- Position, borders and neurovascular content of the greater and lesser sciatic foramina.
- Structure and morphology of pelvic diaphragm, including levator ani, its tendinous arch and the urogenital and anorectal hiatuses and associated structures.
- Ischioanal fossae and their neurovascular contents.
Muscles and regions - lower limb
- Superficial to deep level muscles of the gluteal region and proximal thigh, with different levels shown across the left and right sides.
- Various muscles (e.g. gluteus maximus) are lifted/reflected/partly removed to reveal underlying structures and regions, and their layered arrangement.
- Proximal attachment and position of the iliotibial tract and its associated muscles.
- Boundaries (most) and neurovascular contents of the femoral triangle.
- Femoral canal, femoral sheath, and fascial plane location of the femoral nerve.
- Proximal part and contents of the adductor canal.
Organs
- Female pelvic viscera mostly removed.
- Urethra, vagina, and anal canal passing through the pelvic diaphragm.
- Position and orientation of the anal canal and external anal sphincter.
- Labia majora, labia minora, and vaginal vestibule.
- Clitoris, including its dorsal neurovasculature, erectile tissues and associated muscles.
Neurovasculature
- Course, relations, and branches of key arteries including the common iliac, external iliac, internal iliac, gluteal, internal pudendal, obturator, and femoral arteries.
- Various branches of the internal iliac artery.
- Position and main branches of the inferior part of the lumbar plexus, including its relationship with psoas major.
- Course, relations, and branches of key nerves including the superior gluteal, inferior gluteal, obturator, femoral, sciatic, and pudendal nerves.
- Position of key cutaneous nerves including the lateral and posterior femoral cutaneous nerves.
Possible variants or pathology (not guaranteed)
