26
Q

N F rectus abdominis

A

N- inferior 6 thoracic nerves F- flexes trunk and compresses abdominal viscera

27
Q

the EOM forms what inferiorly?

A

the INGUINAL LIGAMENT (axis to pubic tubercle) and superficial inguinal ring

28
Q

borders of superficial inguinal ring

A

Lateral- lateral crus medial- medial crus inferior- pubis

29
Q

lateral crus inserts on*

A

pubic tubercle

30
Q

medial crus inserts on*

A

pubic symphysis

31
Q

contents of superficial inguinal ring

A

spermatic cord- Male round ligament- female ilioinguinal nerve

32
Q

function of ilioinguinal nerve*

A

Supplies skin over superomedial aspect of thigh, also skin of lower inguinal region , mons pubis, scrotum and labia majora

33
Q

Cremasteric muscle is formed by what?*

A

Internal oblique muscle=

the spermatic chord passes thru these fibers forming the spermatic chord

the inguinal canal passes through and is formed in part by IOM

34
Q

what is the conjoint tendon*

A

it is the insertion of IOM and transversus abdominis onto the pubic symphysis

35
Q

The rectus sheath is made by

A

aponeurosis of EOM, IOM and transversus abdominis as they insert into the linea alba

36
Q

Upper 2/3 rectus sheath made by ( between costal margins and ASIS

A

EOM anteriorly

IOM - splits one part anteriorly, one part posteriorly

transversus abdominus posteriorly

37
Q

Lower 1/3 rectus sheath made by ( from ASIS to pubic symphysis)

A

Aponeurosis of all three abdominal muscles go anteriorly

the posterior part of rectus sheath is ONLY the transversalis fascia

38
Q

The internal spermatic fascia of spermatic cord is derived from what*

A

from the fascia transversalis

39
Q

Iliohypogastric nerve*

A

L1

skin over the upper inguinal region, skin over iliac crest in between internal and external oblique

40
Q

Ilioinguinal nerve *

A

L1 skin over the superomedial aspect of thigh

skin over lower inguinal region mons pubis and labia majora

NOT a content of the spermatic chord *

41
Q

Superior epigastric artery*

where it comes from and where it goes

A

branch of internal thoracic artery

enters rectus sheath superiorly and inferior to 7th CC

42
Q

Inferior epigastric artery*

comes from and where it goes

A

runs superiorly on transversalis fascia and enters arcuate line to get into rectus sheath

43
Q

What peritoneal folds are superior to umbillicus

A

Large median fold- contains falciform ligament

the free edge of falciform ligament is called the round ligament or ligamentum teres

44
Q

what does the ligamentum teres contain

A

the remnant of umbillical vein

45
Q

Peritoneal folds inferior to umbillicus and their contents *

A

Median umbillical fold- Urachus - (drains urine in fetus- )

medial umbilical fold- umbillical artery

lateral umbillical fold- inferior epigastric artery - patent

46
Q

Hesselbacks triangle*

A

inguinal triangle

medial border- rectus abdominis muscle

lateral border- inferior epigastric vessels

inferior border- inguinal ligament

47
Q

Hernias male v female

A

Female more likely to have femoral hernias due to their anatomy

males more likely to have inguinal hernias

48
Q

contents of inguinal canal

A

spermatic chord Male

round ligament female

ilioinguinal nerve

49
Q

Deep inguinal ring*

A

slit like opening in the fascia transversalis

50
Q

superficial inguinal ring

A

triangular opening of EOM

51
Q

indirect inguinal hernias*

A

More common*

leave abdominal cavity LATERAL to inferior epigastric vessels

transverse deep inguinal ring, inguinal canal and superficial inguinal ring

(follow same path as spermatic chord- so they would have the similar coverings)

indirect is within the spermatic chord*

52
Q

Direct inguinal hernias*

A

pass through hesselbachs triangle

leave abdominal cavity MEDIAL to inferior epigastric vessels

protrude ateriorly to posterior wall of inguinal canal

Direct parallels the spermatic cord*

53
Q

Contents of the spermatic cord*

A

Vas deferens

testicular artery

testicular veins that from the pampinifrom plexus*

genital branch of genitofemoral nerve ( supplies cremaster muscle)

arteroes to vas deferens

remnant of processus vaginalis

lymphatic vessels -

autonomic sympathetic nerves

54
Q

Where does the right testicular vein drain into*

A

leaves panpiniform plexus as a single vein and drains directly into IVC at L1

55
Q

Where does right testicular vein drain into

A

drains into left renal vein at L1

more chance of back up

56
Q

what should you know about the ilioinguinal nerve

A

its a content of inguinal canal but NOT a content of the spermatic chord

57
Q

cremasteric abdominal reflex

A

absence indicates corticospinal injury - strike the thigh- causes that testicle to rise

From genitofemoral nerve (L1- L2)

femoral branch (afferent)- supplies skin of thigh

genital branch ( efferent) supplies cremaster muscle
