Abdomen I Flashcards
If a person gets stabbed on the posterior wall of the Abdominal Cavity, what parts of his body will most likely be affected?
Vertebral Column & Abdominal wall
Many of the abdominal organs are protected by what?
Thoracic wall and Diaphragm
What does Peritoneum covers?
Covers Abdominal organs which are suspended in peritoneal cavity by mesenteries.
if a person is affected superior to rib 10 & L3, what part of the abdominal cavity is the person affected?
Above Subcostal Plane- Right and Left Hypochondrium, and Epigastric region.
what part/s of abdominal cavity is found inferior to intertubercular plane?
Right groin/inguinal, Pubic region, and Left groin/inguinal
what part/s of abdominal cavity is/are found inferior to subcostal plane?
Right Flank/Lumbar, Umbilical Region, and Left Flank/Lumbar
What does Midclavicular plane cover?
Midpoint of Clavicles to point between Pubic Symphysis and Anterior Superior Iliac Spine
Midclavicular Planes consists of
Epigastric region, umbilical region, and Pubic Region
Bony Components of Abdominal Wall are made up of
Lumbar vertebrae, Upper wings of Pelvic Bones, Costal margin, and Ribs 11 and 12
What muscles makes up the posterior part of the Abdominal Wall?
Quadratus Lumborum & Iliopsoas (deep Hip plexus)
When a person get stabbed laterally to the abdominal wall, what part of his abdominal muscles are affected?
External Oblique, Internal Oblique, & Transversus Abdominus
John has been working out for past 2 hours. While he has done plenty of upper body and abs workouts, he focused primarily on working on his planks and sit ups. What part of muscle was John trying to work on?
Rectus Abdominus (aka 6-pack muscle)
Most Superficial Fascia which is protective of all abdomen made up of fatty layer
Campers Fascia
Deep Layer of Superficial Fascia is
Scarpas Fascia
What does Scarpas fascia turns into as it crosses the thigh region?
Fascia Lata
As Scarpas fascia continues into Anterior Peritoneum, it is called
Colles Fascia (Inf. of the Pelvis)
Dartos Muscle is found between
between Scarpas + Campers Fascia of Scrotum in males
Actions of External Oblique
Twist and Compress Abdomen
What gets attaches to Linea Alba?
thick, flat tendinous insertion called Aponeurosis
Inguinal Ligament
Lower border of External Oblique aponeurosis. Travels from Anterior superior Iliac Spine to pubic tubercle.
Fibers Direction of External Oblique vs. Internal oblique
Inferomedially vs. Supromedially
Linea Alba is made up of
a line of tendon that runs from Xiphoid Process—Pubic Bone
What layers of muscle are found directly beneath the External Oblique?
Internal Oblique and Rectus Abdominus.
Actions of Internal Oblique
Compress Abdomen and Twists
Why does Rectus Abdominus have 4-5 Tendinous Insertions?
To avoid over contraction/Flexion. Also create the 6-Pack
Actions of Rectus Abdominus
Compress Abdomen and Flex Trunk
A patient comes to the doctor complaining, he can’t compress Abdomen at all. Doctor asked follow up question how he feels during abdomen flexion and twists, and patient bluntly responded he feels no pain anywhere else but ONLY unable to
compress Abdomen. What muscle of the patient is affected the most to cause unable to compress only?
Transversus Abdominus
Deepest muscle muscle found in the Abdominal cavity
Transversus Abdominus
A person Ventral Rami in L1 is damaged. What would he unable to do as a result of that?
Compress and Twist Abdomen
If nerve supply of Ventral Rami gets damaged from T7-T12, what would a person be unable to do?
Compress Abdomen, Twist Abdomen, Flex vertebral column, and tense abdominal wall
What innervates Internal Oblique
Ventral Rami of T7-T12, L1 (Illiohypogastric and Ilioinguinal)
Origin of External Oblique
Outer Surface or Lower 8 ribs
Origin of Internal Oblique
Iliac Crest, Inguinal Ligament, Thoracolumbar Fascia
Insertion for External Oblique
Iliac crest, linea alba
Insertion for Internal Oblique
Inferior Border of lower 3-4 ribs, linea alba, pubic crest, pectineal line
Insertion for Transversus Oblique
Linea Alba, Pubic crest, pectineal line
Origin for Transversus Abdominus
Thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, inguinal ligament, costal cartilage of lower 6 ribs
