44
Q

Where is the inguinal canal weak

A

lateral to conjoint tendon; posterior wall

45

A

opening in transversalis fascia at the start of inguinal canal

46
Q

What is the superficial inguinal ring

A

opening in external oblique

47
Q

What is the superficial inguinal ring bordered by

A

medial and lateral crus, intercrural fibers, reflected inguinal ligament

48
Q

A

cremaster muscle

50
Q

What layers of the abdomen will contribute to the layers surrounding the spermatic cord

A

external oblique
internal oblique
transversalis fascia
subcutaneous tissue

51
Q

What does the external oblique contribute to the spermatic cord

A

external spermatic fascia

52
Q

What does the internal oblique muscle contribute to the spermatic cord

A

cremaster muscle

53
Q

What does the transversalis fascia contibute to the spermatic cord

A

internal spermatic fascia

54
Q

What does subcutaneous tissue contribute to the spermatic cord

A

dartos muscle and fascia

55

testicular vein (pampiniform plexus)
vas deferens
processus vaginalis
cremateric artery
lymphatics
ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerve
57
Q

What is the function of the cremaster muscle

A

elevates testicles for temperature control; also involved in cremaster reflex

58
Q

What is the cremaster reflex

A

gentle scraping of thigh will cause testes to pull upwards to abdomen

A

cool blood in the arteries

63
Q

What is the processus vaginalis

A

evagination of the peritoneum at the inguinal canal when testes descend to scrotum and will be obliterated

64
Q

What does the processus vaginalis become

A

tunica vaginalis

65
Q

What is the gubernaculum

A

a cord of tissue that guides the testes down through the inguinal canal and into the scrotum

66
Q

What may occur if the processus vaginalis remains open

What is hydrocele

A

accumulation between visceral and paietal layers of tunica vaginalis

70
Q

Where does a hydrocele occur in females

A

canal of nuck

71
Q

What is testicular torsion

A

twisting of spermatic cord results in loss of blood flow and nerve function to the testicle

72
Q

What is a predisposition to testicular torsion

A

tunica vaginalis is attached higher than usual allowing more mobility in the testicle

73
Q

How will testicular torsion present

A

rapid onset of severe pain

dimpling

74
Q

What causes dimpling in testicular torsion

A

gubernaculum pulling on scrotum

75
Q

What are the characteristics of direct inguinal hernia

A

occur in older men due to weak abdominal muscles
occurs medial to the inferior epigastric vessels through the Hesselbach triangle
rarely reaches scrotum

76
Q

What are the characteristics of indirect inguinal hernia

A

occur in younger individuals more than adults and in males more than females
travel through inguinal canal to scrotum
occur lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels

77
Q

What rings will be affected by direct and indirect hernias

A

direct: may affect superficial
Indirect: deep and superficial

78
Q

In which inguinal fossa will direct and indirect hernias occur

A

direct: medial
indirect: lateral

79
Q

What layers will be seen on an indirect inguinal hernia

A

same layers as the spermatic cord plus periotneum and transversalis fascia

80
Q

What layers will be seen on a direct inguinal hernia

A

only peritoneum and transversalis fascia

81
Q

Where do femoral hernias occur

A

in femoral canal

82
Q
