2. Posterior Ab Wall/ Pelvis Flashcards
which posterior abdominal wall muscle is the primary hip flexor
psoas major
muscle which sits within the iliac fossa and attaches to lesser trochanter
iliacus
muscle originates on T12 and L1 vertebra, inserts on pectineal line of superior rams of pubis, and acts to extend/flex trunk
psoas minor
most lateral muscle of post ab wall, innervated by T12-L4
quadratus lumborum
posterior abdominal wall muscle innervated by femoral n.
iliacus
the 3 peripheral origins (sternal, costal, lumbar) of the diaphragm insert on
central tendon
which diaphragm crus is longer, wrapping around the anterior portion of the aortic hiatus
right
which ligament of diaphragm is over the aorta
median arcuate
which ligament of diaphragm is over the psoas major and sympathetic trunks
medial arcuate
which ligament of diaphragm is over the quadrates lumborum and subcostal n.
lateral arcuate
this area of the diaphragm has potential to herniate (not a hiatus)
vertebrocostal triangle
diaphragm opening for aortic hiatus (and thoracic duct) occurs at
T12
diaphragm opening for esophageal hiatus (and vagal trunk and lymphatics) occurs at
T10
diaphragm opening for caval hiatus (and phrenic n. and lymph from liver) occurs at
T8
the superior epigastric vessels cross the diaphragm at the ____ hiatus
sternocostal
while motor information to diaphragm is all from phrenic n. sensory information utilizes both the phrenic nerve and
intercostal nerves (peripheral diaphragm)
4 unpaired arteries of the abdominal aorta
celiac trunk, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, and median sacral
left and right gonadal arteries arise directly from the abdominal aorta unlike gonadal veins: the left drains to ___ and the right drains to ___
L renal v. , IVC
sympathetic innervation to the ___ does not synapse before reaching its destination allowing quick injection of adrenaline into bloodstream
suprarenal gland
two pathways involved in sympathetic innervation to gut
splanchnic and suprarenal
two pathways involved in parasympathetic innervation to gut
pelvic splanchnic and vagus n.
the ureter descends from the kidney posterior to ___ and then anterior to ___
gonadal aa. ; common iliac a.
the ___ kidney is inferior to the other by ~1 vertebral segment because of the ___
right, liver
5 renal segments
superior/ apical, antero-superior, antero-inferior, inferior, posterior
there are 4 ___ segments but only 3 ___ segments of each kidney
anterior, posterior
