70
When do the abdominal muscles contract to "guard"
to protect the abdominal organs when injury threatens
| Peritonitis
71
2 parts of the peritoneum
Parietal
| Visceral (both parts are continuous with each other)
72
Does peritoneum contain nerves
Yes, also secretes a small amount of lubricating fluid
73
In terms of the peritoneum,how are organs classified?
Intraperitoneal (almost completely covered in visceral peritoneum, minimally mobile) e.g. liver
Retroperitoneal 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
What is are the name of 3 condensations of the peritoneum?
Greater omentum
Lesser omentum
Messentery
(double layers that attach organs to each other and to the abdominal wall)
75
What do the omenta do?
Divide the peritoneal cavity into a greater sac and a much smaller lesser sac
76
How do the 2 peritoneal sacs communicate
throughs the omental foramen
77
What lies on the free edge of the lesser omentum
The portal triad
78

| Rectouterine (pouch of douglas) and uterovesical (In females)
79

Excess fluid within the peritoneal cavity
80

Through paracentesis/ abdominocentesis
81
During paracentesis, where is the needle placed and why?
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
What are the characteristics of visceral pain
Hard to localise and dull, achy and nauseating (visceral includes visceral peritoneum)
83
Characteristics of somatic pain
Easier to localise and sharp and stabbing
84
What may colicky pain be caused by
A GI obstruction as peristalsis comes in waves
85
How do the sympathetic nerves get from the CNS to the abdominal organs
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
Where does the postsynaptic sympathetic nerve fibres pass?
| What do they form along with other nerve fibres?
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
What is the course of the sympathetic nerves that supply the adrenal gland
Leave the spinal cord at T10-L1
Enter 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
What are the 2 ways by which the parasympathetic nerves get from the CNS to the abdominal organs
How much of the digestive tract does each supply?
CNX (vagus nerve) - up tot he distal end of the transverse colon
Pelvic Splanchnic nerves (S2,3,4) - smooth muscle/ glands of the descending colon to anal canal
89
How does the vagus nerve provide parasympathetic nerve fibres to the abdominal organs
presynaptic parasympathetic nerve fibres enter abdominal cavity on surface of the oesophagus (“vagal trunks”)
travel into the periarterial plexuses around the abdominal aorta
carried to the walls of the organs where they synapse in ganglia
90
Where does pain from the foregut, midgut and handgun tend to be felt
```
Foregut = epigastric region
Midgut = umbilical region
Hindgut = pubic region
```
91
How do visceral afferent nerve fibres get from the abdominal organs to the CNS
Pain fibres from the bast majority of the abdominal organs run alongside sympathetic fibres back to the spinal cord
92

At approx. T6-T9
93
Where do visceral afferent nerve fibres from the midgut structures enter the spinal cord
T8-T12
94
Where do visceral afferent nerve fibres from the hindgut structures enter the spinal cord
T10 - L2
95
Where does pain from the organs tend to be perceived
In the dermatomes of the levels at which they enter the spinal cord (bit of overlap) - type of referred pain
96
What pain can be felt in the right shoulder

97
What pain can be felt in the centre of the back

100
Where areThe somatic motor, somatic sensory and sympathetic nerve fibres supplying the structures of the abdominal part of the “body wall” are conveyed within?
```
