25
Q

what is the anterolateral abdominal wall?

A

indefinite boundary between the anterior and lateral walls. 7-10th cartilages, xiphoid process, inguinal ligament and the superior margins of the pelvic girdle.

26
Q

what does the anterolateral abdominal wall consist of?

A

skin, subcutaneous tisse, deep fascia, fat, and parietal peritonuem.

27
Q

What is in the LUQ?

A

sigmoid colon, descending colon, ovary, uterine tube, ureter, uterus, urinary bladder.

30
Q

what are the two layers of the subcutaneous tissue?

A

superficial fatty layer and the deep membranous layer.

31
Q

what covers the three layers of the anterolateral abdominal wall and their aponeuroses?

A

superficial, intermediate, and deep layers of investing fascia.

32
Q

what are aponeuroses?

A

flat expanded tendons

33
Q

what is epimysium?

A

outer fibroud CT surrounding muscles

34
Q

what is the endoabdominal fascia?

A

membranous and areolar sheets lining the abdominal wall

35
Q

what is the transversalis fascia?

A

lining of the deep surface of the transversus abdominos muscle and its aponeurosis

36
Q

parietal peritoneum is made up of what?

A

single layer of epithelial cells and supporting CT.

37
Q

what are the five muscles in the anterolateral abdominal wall?

A

external oblique, internal oblique, transversus, abdominis, the large rectus abdominis, small pyramidalis.

38
Q

what is the linea alba?

A

line extending from the xiphoid process to the pubic symphysis

39
Q

what is the rectus sheath?

A

formed by the aponeuroses. it is tough, tendinous and aponeurotic. encloses the rectus abdonimis muscle.

40
Q

what is the origin and insertion of the external oblique?

A

external surfaces of the 5th-12th ribs.

linea alba, pubic tubercle and anterior half of the iliac crest.

41
Q

what is the innervation and action of the external oblique?

A

thoraco-abdominal nerves T7-T11 spinal nerves and subcostal nerve. it compresses and supports abdominal viscera. flexes and rotates trunk

42
Q

what is origin and insertion of the internal oblique?

A

thorcolumbar fascia, anterior 2/3 of iliac crest, CT deep to lateral third of inguinal ligament.

inferior borders of 10th-12th ribs, linea alba, pecten pubis via conjoint tendon

43
Q

what is the innervation and action of the internal oblique?

A

thoraco-abdominal nerves (anterior rami of T6-T12 spinal nerves) & first lumbar nerves.

it compresses and supports abdominal viscera. flexes and rotates trunk

44
Q

what is the origin and insertion of the transversus abdominis?

A

internal surfaces of the 7th-12th costal cartilages, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, CT deel to lateral third of inguinal ligament.

linea alba with aponeurosis of internal oblique, pubic crest, pecten pubis via conjoint joint.

45
Q

what is the innervation and action of the transversus abdominis?

A

thoraco-abdominal nerves (anterior rami of T6-T12 spinal nerves) & first lumbar nerves.

compresses and supports abdominal viscera

46
Q

what is the origin and insertion of the rectus abdominis?

A

pubic symphysis and pubic crest. xiphoid process and 5-7th costal cartilages

47
Q

what is the innervation and action of the rectus abdominis?

A

thoraco-abdominal nerves (anterior rami of T6-T12 spinal nerves)

48
Q

the external obliques aponeurosis attaches to?

A

pubic crest

49
Q

where is the inguinal ligament?

A

crease between thigh and trunk. it is continuous with deep fascia of thigh.

50
Q

what is a retinaculum?

A

retaining band.

51
Q

where is the transversus abdominis?

A

innermost of the three flat muscles.

52
Q

where is the neurovascular plane?

A

between internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles.

53
Q

what does the neurovascular plane contain?

A

nerves and arteries supplying the anterolateral abdominal wall. these lie mostly in the subcutaneous tissue

54
Q

what is the pyramidalis?

A

small, insignificant triangular muscle. missing in 20% of ppl.

55
Q

where is the pyramidalis?

A

anterior to the inferior part of the rectus abdominis. attaches to the pubis and pubic ligament. ends in the linea alba.

56
Q

where is the major site of fat storage?

A

subcutaneous tissue of the fascia of the anterolateral abdominal wall
