Abdomen Flashcards
where does the abdominal cavity extend to*
from thoracic cage to the 5th intercostal space in the supine position
what is the falciform ligament
attaches to anterior abdominal wall and divides liver into L and L lobes
Umbilicus level
L3 L4
linear semilunaris extension*
from 9th costal cartilage to pubis
it is 5-8 cm from medial plane ( represents lateral border of rectus abdominis muscle)
Where is the pubic tubercle *
2.5 cm laterally of the pubic symphysis
where is the Iliac tubercle located *
6 cm posterior to ASIS
Where is the subcostal plane located *
inferior margin of 10th costal cartilage thru L2-L3
where is the Transtubercular plane located *
through the iliac tubercles through body of L5
Where is the transpyloric plane located *****
midway between xiphosternal joint an the umbilicus through the inferior borders of L1*
many abdominal viscera are related to it*
Trans umbilical plane location *
through umbilicus L3 L4
The abdomen is divided into 4 quadrants by which horizontal plane
Trans umbillical plane L3 L4
the abdomen is divided into 9 regions why which horizontal planes
Subcostal plane L2/L3
trans tubercular plane L5
