A

Rectus AbdominisExternal obliqueInternal obliquetransversus abdominisparietal peritoneum

70
Q

When do the abdominal muscles contract to “guard”

A

to protect the abdominal organs when injury threatensPeritonitis

71
Q

2 parts of the peritoneum

A

ParietalVisceral (both parts are continuous with each other)

72
Q

Does peritoneum contain nerves

A

Yes, also secretes a small amount of lubricating fluid

73
Q

In terms of the peritoneum,how are organs classified?

A

Intraperitoneal (almost completely covered in visceral peritoneum, minimally mobile) e.g. liverRetroperitoneal e.g. pancreas and kidneys (only has visceral peritoneum on its anterior surface - located in the retroperitoneum)With a messentery (e.g. parts of intestines, covered in visceral peritoneum which wraps itself behind the organ to form a double layer, mesentery suspends the organ fro the posterior abdominal wall = very mobile)

74
Q

What is are the name of 3 condensations of the peritoneum?

A

Greater omentumLesser omentumMessentery(double layers that attach organs to each other and to the abdominal wall)

75
Q

What do the omenta do?

A

Divide the peritoneal cavity into a greater sac and a much smaller lesser sac

76
Q

How do the 2 peritoneal sacs communicate

A

throughs the omental foramen

77
Q

What lies on the free edge of the lesser omentum

A

The portal triad

78
Q

What pouches (which are part of the greater sac) are formed when the inferior aspect of the peritoneum “drapes over” the superior aspect of the pelvic organs?

A

Rectovesical (in males)Rectouterine (pouch of douglas) and uterovesical (In females)

79
Q

Ascites

A

Excess fluid within the peritoneal cavity

80
Q

How is ascites fluid drained

A

Through paracentesis/ abdominocentesis

81
Q

During paracentesis, where is the needle placed and why?

A

Lateral to the rectus sheath to avoid the inferior epigastric artery which ascends deep to the rectus abdomens after it iris from the external iliac just medial to the deep inguinal ring)

82
Q

What are the characteristics of visceral pain

A

Hard to localise and dull, achy and nauseating (visceral includes visceral peritoneum)

83
Q

Characteristics of somatic pain

A

Easier to localise and sharp and stabbing

84
Q

What may colicky pain be caused by

A

A GI obstruction as peristalsis comes in waves

85
Q

How do the sympathetic nerves get from the CNS to the abdominal organs

A

Leave the spinal cord between levels T5 and L2 and enter the sympathetic chains (but don’t synapse) Leave the sympathetic chains within the abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves Synpase at prevertebral ganglia which are located anterior to the aorta at the exit points of the major branches of the abdominal aorta

86
Q

Where does the postsynaptic sympathetic nerve fibres pass?What do they form along with other nerve fibres?

A

From the prevertebral ganglia onto the surface of the arterial branches leaving the abdominal aorta They form periarterial plexuses as they hitch a ride with the arteries and their branches towards (or away from) the smooth muscles and glands of the organs

87
Q

What is the course of the sympathetic nerves that supply the adrenal gland

A

Leave the spinal cord at T10-L1Enter the abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves (do not synapse at the prevertberal ganglia) and instead are carried with periarterial plexuses to the adrenal gland and synapse directly onto cells

88
Q

What are the 2 ways by which the parasympathetic nerves get from the CNS to the abdominal organsHow much of the digestive tract does each supply?

A

CNX (vagus nerve) - up tot he distal end of the transverse colonPelvic Splanchnic nerves (S2,3,4) - smooth muscle/ glands of the descending colon to anal canal

89
Q

How does the vagus nerve provide parasympathetic nerve fibres to the abdominal organs

A

presynaptic parasympathetic nerve fibres enter abdominal cavity on surface of the oesophagus (“vagal trunks”)travel into the periarterial plexuses around the abdominal aortacarried to the walls of the organs where they synapse in ganglia

90
Q

Where does pain from the foregut, midgut and handgun tend to be felt

A

Foregut = epigastric regionMidgut = umbilical regionHindgut = pubic region

91
Q

How do visceral afferent nerve fibres get from the abdominal organs to the CNS

A

Pain fibres from the bast majority of the abdominal organs run alongside sympathetic fibres back to the spinal cord

92
Q

Where do visceral afferent nerve fibres from the foregut structures enter the spinal cord

A

At approx. T6-T9

93
Q

Where do visceral afferent nerve fibres from the midgut structures enter the spinal cord

A

T8-T12

94
Q

Where do visceral afferent nerve fibres from the hindgut structures enter the spinal cord

A

T10 - L2

95
Q

Where does pain from the organs tend to be perceived

A

In the dermatomes of the levels at which they enter the spinal cord (bit of overlap) - type of referred pain

96
Q

What pain can be felt in the right shoulder

A

Liver/ gallbladder pain

97
Q

What pain can be felt in the centre of the back

A

Stomach pain/ pancreatic pain

98
Q

Where is kidney and ureter pain felt

A

From groin right up back

99
Q

Where is appendicitis pain felt

A

In centre and then travels to right bottom corner as it irritates the peritoneum

100
Q

Where areThe somatic motor, somatic sensory and sympathetic nerve fibres supplying the structures of the abdominal part of the “body wall” are conveyed within?

A

The thoracoabdominal nerves (7th - 11th intercostal nerves -Travel anteriorly, then leave the intercostal spaces, travel in the plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis, as thoracoabdominal nerves)Subcostal nerve (T12 anterior ramus)Iliohypogastric nerve (half of L1 anterior rams)Ilioinguinal nerve (other half of L1 anterior ramus)
