A

T10

22
Q

which segmental nerves supply the abdominal wall near the pubis

A

T12/L1

23
Q

why are males more prone to hernias than females

A

larger inguinal canal

peritoneal cavity sometimes continuous with tunica vaginalis of scrotum

24
Q

skin is continuous with

A

scrotal skin with darts muscle

25
Q

scrap’s and camper’s fascia are continuous with

A

colle’s fascia

26
Q

external oblique is continuous with

A

external spermatic fascia

27
Q

internal oblique is continuous with

A

cremaster muscle

28
Q

transversus abdominus is continuous with

A

nothing

29
Q

transversals fascia is continuous with

A

internal spermatic fascia

30
Q

exteraperitoneal fat is continuous with

A

testis

31
Q

peritoneum is continuous with

A

tunica vaginalis

32
Q

what’s the difference between the darts and cremaster smooth muscles

A

dartos is smooth muscle of the skin of scrotal/penis/foreskin - its wrinkes the skin to reduce the surface area for heat exchange if the ambient temp is cold
cremaster is skeletal muscle that can lift the testicle closer to the body when ambient temp is low, or relax and lower when temp is hot
