Abdomen, peritoneum, Organs Flashcards
What are the layers of the abdominal wall Superficial to deep
Superficial to deep
● Skin
● Subcutaneous layer
● Muscles
● Transversalis fascia
● Extraperitoneal fat
● Parietal peritoneum (lines the abdominal cavity)
what is caput medusa?
swelling of superficial veins on abdomen
what nerves innervate the abdominal wall?
thoracoabdominal (T7-T11)
subcostal (T12)
ilioinguinal nerves (L1)
what does t7 dermatome supply?
tip of ziphoid process
what does the t10 dermatome innervate?
umbilicus
what does the l1 dermatome innervate?
pubic bone, inguinal fold
what is the job of the internal and external oblique muscles?
Compress and support abdominal visceral,
flex and rotate trunk
which muscle’s aponeurosis makes up the inguinal ligament?
external abdominal oblique
what is the function of transversus abdominus?
compress and support abdominal viscera
what is the rectus sheath made of?
Formed by the aponeuroses of the external and internal obliques, and the transversus abdominis
what arteries supply the abdominal wall?
superior/inferior epigastric arteries
what makes the superior and deep inguinal ring?
superficial: external adnominal oblique aponeurosis
Deep: transceralis fascia
what is in the inguinal canal in males?
spermatic cord, a, v, n,
in males and females what runs through the inguinal canal?
ilioinguinal nerve
what muscle makes something important in the male inguinal region?
internal oblique extends to become cremaster muscle (brings testes up and down in temperature response)
what is a direct inguinal hernia?
medial to inferior epigastric artery
what is a indirect hernia?
lateral to inferior epigastric artery (however these are more likely to get into the testicle)d
describe where the liver is
right under the right ribs, covered by diagram
“Extends inferiorly to
costal margin on right
and across midline to
left midclavicular line”
where is the gallbladder?
Fundus located at tip of
right 9th costal cartilage
on transpyloric plane
(L1)
where is the spleen?
left side, 9-10 rib
parallel to 10 rib
inferior pole no further forward than midaxillary line
Locate the upper pole of
kidneys by rib levels:
* Left: ________
* Right: __________
Locate the hilum of the kidneys: __________
10th intercostal space
11th intercostal space
L1
where is the esophageal hiatus?
T10
what level is the pylorus?
transpyloric plane L1
where are the parts of the duodenum?
1st part:
* L1 (transpyloric plane)
3rd part:
* L3 (subcostal plane)
2nd part:
* L3
4th part:
* L2
where is the pancreas?
Head: L1-3
Neck: L1
tail heads to hilum of spleen
where is the appendix?
arises from cecum 1/3 distance from right anterior superior iliac spine to umbilicus
What is the mesentery?
double layer of peritoneum that enclose the organ and its vasculature connecting to body wall
what is the nervous innervation of the parietal peritoneum ? what does this allow?
somatic afferent
allows sensation of temp/pain with specificity (sharp localized)
what is the nervous innervation of the visceral peritoneum ? what does this allow?
visceral do not sense temperature, pain, ONLY stretch and chemical
(dull poorly localized)
