Anatomy Pratical 3 Flashcards
why is the right kidney lower than the left
because there is the liver on the right side of the body which pushes the kidney down
what is the posterior abdominal wall formed by
• The posterior abdominal is formed by the five lumbar vertebrae and muscles: psoas major, quadratus lumborum, iliacus, transversus abdominis and the diaphragm.
where does poses major arise and insert
arises from the lumbar vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs, passes under the inguinal ligament and inserts on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
where does quadrates lumborum arise and insert
originates on the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae and the last rib and inserts on the iliac crest of the pelvis
what spinal nerves is the lumbar plexus composed of
is composed of the spinal nerve roots L1, L2, L3, L4 and these are derived from anterior primary rami from the spinal cord.

- anatomy - lies on posts major splits into the genital branch and femoral brand, genital branches travels in the spermatic cord in the inguinal canal
- motor - genetial branch innervates cremaster muscle
- sensory
Genital branch:
Scrotum (males); skin mons pubis and labia majora (females)
Femoral branch:
Upper anterior thigh (over femoral triangle)
Describe lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh
- roots

- motor
- sensory
- roots L2 L3
- anatomy - Emerges lateral border of psoas major at its middle, crosses ileacus muscle, towards the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) passing under the inguinal ligament
- motor - none
- sensory - lateral thigh
Describe obstrurator
- roots
- anatomy
- motor
- sensory
- roots L2 L3 L4
- anatomy - Emerges medially to psoas major, passes behind the common ileac vessels to the obturator canal
- motor - medial compartment (adductors)
- sensory - medial thigh
Describe femoral
- roots
- anatomy
- motor
- sensory
- roots L2 L3 L4
- anatomy - Emerges lateral to psoas major, passes under the inguinal ligament and into the femoral triangle
- motor - anterior compartment thigh
- sensory - anterior thigh
what is pain due to damage of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh called
Pain because of damage to this nerve is called meralgia paresthetica
what are the paired arteries that come of the abdominal artery
Renal arteries (L1) and suprarenal/adrenal arteries
Gonadal arteries (L2)
Four paired lumbar arteries
what level is the IVC formed at
The IVC is formed by the common iliac veins at the L5 level.
where does the IVC end its course
It ends its course by penetrating the diaphragm at the vertebral level T8 and then entering the right atrium of the heart.
