abdominal cavity 4 Flashcards
what do the kidneys do?
- eliminate waste of protein metabolism from blood, salts and water
- return nutrients to blood
- regulate blood pressure and RBCs
kidney innervation
symp: T10 to L1
para: vagus and S2-4
pararenal fat vs perirenal fat
pararenal fat-before the kidneys
peri- around kidneys
hilum
where everything goes in and out of the kidney
suprarenal (adrenal) gland
- on top of kidneys
- make corticosteroids and androgens (cortex)
- make epi and norepi (medulla)
blood supply to suprarenal (adrenal) gland and where do they branch from?
1) superior supra renal a.-from inferior phrenic a.
2) middle suprarenal artery (from aorta)
3) inferior suprarenal (from renal a)
what provides innervation to the suprarenal (adrenal) gland
medulla and cortex
diaphragm function
major muscle used in inspiration
what supplies blood to the diaphragm?
- superior phrenic artery-above diaphragm (off thoracic Ao)
- inferior phrenic a. below the diaphragm (off abdominal Ao)
what innervates the diaphragm?
- phrenic nerve C3-5 (motor and sensory)
- intercostal nerve (sensory)
what are the three holes in the diaphragm?
esophageal hiatus
aortic hiatus
vena caval hiatus
when entering the diaphragm, what goes with what?
- in the esophageal hiatus- the esophagus comes in with the vagal trunk
- deep to the esophageal hiatus, the aortic hiatus allows the aorta and the thoracic duct to come thru
what muscles wrap around the esophageal hiatus?
the left and right crus
lateral arcuate ligament
medial
median
-line down middle of posterior abdominal wall that separates diaphragm and the quadratus lumborum
medial arcuate ligament-diaphragm and psoas major
median arcuate ligament- formed by the crus at the esophageal hiatus
why do we get hiccups?
- thought to be evolutionary
- way of breathing in large amount of air (like dogs)
- help with suckling as a baby- take in lots of fluid and breath with diaphragm spasm
psoas major origin insertion innervation action
o: transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae and T12-S1
i: lesser trochanter of femur
innerv: lumbar plexus-ant. branches of nerves L2-4
axn: flexes thigh, flexes vert. column laterally to balance trunk, when sitting, acts inferiorly to flex trunk
Iliacus origin insertion innervation action
O: superior 2/3 of iliac fossa, ana of sacrum, and anterior sacroiliac ligments
insertion: lesser trochanter of femur and shaft inferior to it
innerv: femoral nerve L2-4
axn: flexes thigh and stabilizes hip joint; acts with psoas major
Quadratus lumborum origin insertion innervation action
O: 12th rib and tips of lumbar transverse processes
Ins: iliolumbar ligament and internal lip of iliac crest
inn: ant branches of T12 and L1-4
axn: extends laterally flexes vertebral column, fixes 12 rib for inspiration
