abdominal wall, inguinal region Flashcards

1
Q

the importance of abdominal wall

A
  • protection and stabilization of abdominal contents
    -surgical access to abdominal contents
  • trunk rotation and flexion (anterior and lateral)
  • maintain and control intra abdominal pressure for parturition and defecation
  • respiration: opposes diaphragm

Q

clinical importance of “potential space”

A
  • between: membranous scarpa’s fascia and aponeurosis of eternal oblique
  • fluid can accumulate in the potential space (a ruptured urethra)
  • no barriers to prevent superior spreading of the fluid
  • deep fascia of the thigh prevents inferior spreading
