Q

What muscle forms the superficial inguinal ring?

A

external abdominal oblique (divides into medial and lateral crura)

22
Q

Where is the external spermatic fascia derived from?

A

external abdominal oblique

23
Q

T or F: the external abdominal oblique contributes to the entire length of the anterior wall of the inguinal canal.

A

True

24
Q

T or F: laterally fibers from the internal abdominal oblique are also part of the anterior wall of the inguinal canal.

A

True

25
Q

What is the lacunar ligament?

A

where the medial fibers of the inguinal ligament flatten horizontally and extend deep

26
Q

What is the lacunar ligament’s deep attachment?

A

The pectineal line

27
Q

What does the lacunar ligament continue upward and laterally as?

A

pectineal ligament

28
Q

What part of the inguinal canal does the lacunar ligament contribute to?

A
  • The medial part of the floor

NOTE: floor is mostly inguinal ligament

29
Q

T or F: the deep inguinal ring is formed by the reflection of the transversus fascia?

A

FALSE - its the transversalis fascia this is not associated with the muscle

30
Q

What makes the internal spermatic fascia of the testical?

A

Transversalis fascia

31
Q

What vessels are immediately medial to the deep ring?

A

inferior epigastric artery and vein

32
Q

T or F: the inferior epigastric artery and vein enter the rectus sheath

A

True

33
Q

What part of the inguinal canal is formed by the combined arching fibers of the internal abdominal obique and transversus abdominis?

A

The roof

  • Note: these arch from lateral to medial off of the inguinal ligament to form the conjoint tendon (falx inguinalis)
34
Q

Where does falx inguinalis/conjoint tendon insert?

A

Pubic crest

35
Q

What does the internal abdominal oblique give rise to in the spermatic cord?

A

cremaster muscle

36
Q

What structure strengthens the posterior wall of the inguinal ring medially?

A

falx inguinalis/conjoint tendon

37
Q

What structure strengthens the posterior wall of the inguinal ring posteriorly?

A

epigastric vessels

38
Q

What are the borders of the “weak area?”

A
Inguinal ligament laterally
Inferior epigastric artery superiorly/laterally
Falx inguinalis superiorly/medially
Roof: Falx inguinalis
Floor: Inguinal ligament
lacunar ligament medially
39
Q

A
  • transversalis fascia

- deep inguinal ring

40
Q

Where is the cremaster formed and where?

A
  • internal abdominal oblique aponeurosis in the canal
41
Q
