Anatomy Practical Flashcards
What are two branches of L1?
Iliohypogastric nerve
Ilioinguinal nerve
Where does Camper’s fascia continue? What does it form?
It continues into thigh and perineum. It forms the fatty layer of the labia majora.
Where is scrapa’s fascia confined to?
Lower abdominal wall
What does scarpa’s fascia connect to?
Attaches to the deep fascia of the thigh (fascia lata) just below the inguinal ligament
What is the clinical significance of the potential space between Scarpa’s and Camper’s layers?
Potential space is susceptible to fluid, infection, pus, urine and blood accumulation (fluid can get stuck in this abdominal wall - doesn’t flow down thigh)
What does the suspensory ligament of the ovary contain?
Ovarian vessels
Where does the sacrospinous ligament travel?
From the Ischial spine to the sacrum.
What does the superior epigastric artery supply?
Anterior part of the abdominal wall and some of the diaphragm. It anastomosis with the inferior epigastric artery below.
Where does the ilioinguinal nerve run?
From L1 of the lumbar plexus. Then it pierces the transversus abdominis muscle and the internal abdominal oblique muscle. Ends up traveling through the superficial inguinal ring with the spermatic cord.
What does the ilioinguinal nerve supply?
- Upper & medial part of the thigh
- Skin over root of penis and upper part of the scrotum, skin covering mons pubis and labia magus
Where is the lacunar ligament?
Over the top of the spermatic cord
Where is the pectineal ligament?
Running below spermatic cord
Where is the conjoint (conjoined) tendon?
Running over the lacunar ligament
Where is the deep (internal) inguinal ring?
In the transversalis fascia
What does the anterior superior iliac spine provide attachment for?
Inguinal ligament
-Sartorius muscle
