A: Cremaster muscle [4]
B: How is this muscle related to the Spermatic cord?
- Made from lower fibers of INTERNAL OBLIQUE m.
- innervated by [Genitofemoral n.>genital branch]
- Inserts @ Pubic Tubercle
- functions to suspend testes & is important in CREMASTERIC REFLEX
B: Cremaster m. fibers descend on Spermatic cord and forms loops around it!
1) What is the Rectus Sheath
2) What 3 groups are found in it?
3) In regards to WALLS of the Sheath: [Front vs. back]
A: What things are found ABOVE arcuate line?
B: What things are found beloww arcuate line?
1) Aponeurotic sheath formed from combined aponeuroses from [EXTernal oblique], internal oblique & [Transverse abd m.]
2)
A: 2 muscles= [Rectus abdominis / Pyramidalis]
B: 2 vessels= [SUP/inf epigastric vessels]
3)
Above Arcuate:
ºFront=Aponeuroses of EXT/internal Oblique m.
ºBack = Aponeuroses of internal Oblique m. & transverse abdominis m.
below arcuate:
ºfront= Aponueroses of EXT/internal Oblique m. AND transverse abdominis m.
ºback = Rectus abdominis contacting [transversalis fascia]
Rectus abdominis m. are related to 3 lines. Name and Describe them
- Linea Alba = tendon raphe between 2 rectus abdominis m. formed by fused aponeuroses from EXT oblique , internal oblique & transverse abd m.
- Extends from Xiphoid process to pubic symphysis - Linea Semilunaris= curved line along lateral rectus abdominis
- Arcuate Line = Crescent-shaped line marking the bottom ending limit of POST layer rectus sheath course—>ALL RECTUS SHEATH START RUNNING ANTERIOR TO RECTUS ABDOMINIS (vs. being split) AND [inf. epigastric a.] ascends & enters sheath
A: What are the 3 Key things to remember regarding Embryological Testis Descent
B: What other major pelvic events are occurring at this time?
A: 1. By 26 weeks testes have descended retroperitoneally (eXTernal to peritoneum) from SUP lumbar region
- Extends from SUP lumbar region–>POST abd wall
- —>deep inguinal rings - it drags its vessels & nerves from POST abd wall
———– —————- —————— ————- ————– ——–
B: at same time..fetal pelvis enlarges & body/trunk of embryo elongates
B: B: Processus vaginalis
————————————————————————————
C: How are these 2 related?
B: Pv= diverticulum/out pouch of peritoneum that develops IN FRONT of the gubernaculum
————————————————————————————
C: GT forms path thru ANT abd wall so Pv can follow during inguinal canal formation —> it Guides Testicle decent and Anchors Testicle to scrotum
A: When the testis and ____ ____ descend, they are ensheathed by ___ ____ of the abd wall.
B: Describe these 3 abd wall sheaths
A: When the testis and DUCTUS DEFERENS descend, they are ensheathed by FASCIAL EXTENSIONS of the abd wall.
B:
- transversalis fascia —becomes—->[ internal spermatic fascia]
- internal oblique m.—->cremasteric muscle
- EXTernal oblique aponeurosis—-> [EXTernal spermatic fascia]
Embryologically, how does the [tunica vaginalis] form? [2]
1st: Testes in scrotum projects into distal end of [processus vaginalis] 1st….
2nd: Then, in PERINATAL PERIOD, the connecting stalk between processus normally obliterates—–> leaves remaining white serous membrane[tunica vaginalis] that covers front & sides of testes
1) Inguinal Canal [4]
2) how is this related to pathway of descent of testes?
1)
ºOblique passage right above inguinal ligament
º4 cm long & directed downward, forward & medially (Like EXTernal oblique)
ºLarger in Males
ºStarts at [Deep inguinal ring] & ENDS at [Superficial inguinal ring]
2) inside[Deep]—>Out/superficial = pathway of descent of testes
Boundaries of inguinal canal
1: ANTERIOR [2]
2: POSTERIOR [2]
3: Roof [2]
4: FLoor
- inguinal canal*
1: ANT=EXT oblique aponeurosis & internal oblique
2: POST= Transversalis fascia & Conjoint tendon
3: Roof= [low arched fibers of internal oblique] & [ HIGH ARCHED Transversus abdominis]
4: FLoor= Inguinal Ligament
Describe these Inguinal Canal structures
A: Transversalis Fascia [3]
B: Deep Inguinal Ring
A: TF= ºHas deep inguinal ring & lines [transversus abdominis m.] inner surface
ºforms POST canal wall
ºrepresented in scrotum as [internal spermatic fascia]
————————————————————————————
Deep inguinal Ring
B: 1. oval opening in [transversalis fascia] that laterally shares inguinal triangle space with [inf epigastric vessels]
- Male Spermatic cord (female uterine round ligament)
, [Genitofemoral n.>genital branch] & Cremastric m. pass thru
1) Where is the [_____ Inguinal Triangle]/what are its boundaries?
A: Medially
B: Laterally
C: Inferiorly
2) What is the clinical significance of this area?
1) [Hesselbach’s Inguinal Triangle]
A: MEDIAL= linea semilunaris (lateral Rectus abdominis m.)
B: LATERALLY=lateral umbilical fold (formed by inf epigastric vessels)
C: INFERIORLY= Inguinal Ligament
2) MOST COMMON SITE FOR DIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA = area of potential weakness
A: MOST [Transversus Abdominis m.] fibers run TRANSVERSE except for which fibers?
B: What is the Conjoint Tendon? What does this tendon do once its formed?
C: Why are [Transversus Abdominis m.] fibers NOT found in the scrotum?
A: MOST [Transversus Abdominis m.] (TA) fibers run Transverse EXCEPT FIBERS ORGINATING FROM INGUINAL LIGAMENT= High Arching Fibers
B: ºconjoint tendon= fusion tendon made of [TA inguinal ligament High Arching Fibers ] & [internal oblique inguinal ligament low arching fibers]
ºBy descending behind it Conjoint Tendon SUPPORTS superficial inguinal ring so it itself can b attached to pubic crest & pectineal line
C: becuz it also has fibers originating from Inguinal Ligament (which are High Arching vs. transverse) = not represented in Scrotum
