Q

Ilioinguinal nerve?

A
  • Branch of L1
  • Motor to Lower IO and TA, sensory to lower inguinal anterior scrotum/labia, and near the medial thigh
21
Q

What abdominal arteries are branches off of the Femoral artery?

A
  • superificial epigastric artery
  • Superificial circumflex iliac artery running along inguinal ligament
22
Q

What abdominal arteries come off of the abdomial aorta?

A

lumbar arteries

23
Q

What two abdominal arteries come off of the external iliac artery and where do they run?

A
  • Deep circumflex iliac artery
    • Runs deep along inguinal ligament
  • Inferior epigastric artery
    • runs posterior to rectus abdominis muslce and anastomosis with superior epigastric artery

Within the abdomen

24
Q

Where does the superior epigastric artery branch from?

A

Terminal branch of the internal thoracic artery

25
Q

Describe how drainage of lymph works in the abdomen?

A
  • Superficial vessels superficial to the umbilicus will drain up, into the axillary lymph nodes and parasternal nodes
  • Superficial vessels below the umbilicus will drain down into the superficial inguinal nodes
  • Deep lymph vesssels follow deep veins of abdominal wall such as the internal and external iliac veins
26
Q

What is the superficial ring?

A

External opening within the (inguinal ligament) aponeurosis for spermatic cord (M) or round ligament (F)

exit for inguinal canal

27
Q

What is the lacunar ligment?

A

Ligament btw pubic rami and inguinal ligament anchoring the inguinal ligament to the pubis

28
Q

Pectineal ligament?

A

Continuation of fibers from lacunar ligment running along pectin pubis

29
Q

Femoral canal?

A

Found immediately lateral to lacunar ligement

30
Q

What is the deep ring?

A
  • Entrance into the inginal canal and beginning of the invagintaion of peritoneum into transversalis fascia
  • Where vas deferens and gonadal vessels/nerves pass in males and round ligament in females
31
Q

Genitofemoral nerve? (L1,2)

A
  • Genital branch
    • motor to cremasteric muslce
    • Sensory to small part of medial thigh and scrotal labial fascia
32
Q

Where do testes form and how do they descend and what are the tunics?

A
  • Gonads form near T10
  • Gonads are connected to future scrotal swellings by the gubernaculum
  • They descend along with an outpocketing of peritoneal cavity (Processus vaginalis, when it is not closed off from abdominal cavity) into future scrotum carrying vessels and nerves
  • When the connection to the peritoneum is closed it is called the tunica vaginalis and it surrounds the scrotum
33
Q

What is cryptorchid testis?

A

Undescended testis - can increase risk of testicular cancer

34
Q

How does the spermatic cord form?

A

As the gonads herniate out (with its blood supply and vas deferens) it takes layers of the wall with it forming the cord.

  • Transversalis fascia forms internal spermaitc fascia
  • Internal oblique forms cremasteric muscle
  • External oblique forms external spermatic fascia
35
Q

What are the contents of the spermatic cord?

A
  • Vas deferens
  • Testicular artery and veins (Pampiniform Plexus)
  • Gonadal nerves and lymphatics
36
Q

What is a persistent processus vaginalis?

A

Patent connection btw tunica vaginalis and abdomen

37
Q

What is the difference btw Hydrocele and Hematocele?

A
  • Hydrocele is peritoneal fluid within tunica vaginalis
    • more common in babies
    • Detected with transillumination
  • Hematocele is accumulattion of blood in the tunica vaginalis
    • opaque
38
Q

Describe ovarian descent.

A
  • Descent begins in the Gubernaculum and becomes attached to developing uterus
  • Round ligament of uterus enters deep ring and exits superficial ring attaching to labial swellings
39
Q

What does the Gubernaculum form in females?

A

Gubernaculum forms the ovarian ligament and round ligament of uterus

40
Q

Describe the lymphatic drainage of the testes and scrotum.

A

The scrotum will drain into superficial inguinal nodes and travel into iliac and lumbar lymph nodes

Testes will drain into lumbar and pre-aortic lymh nodes

41
Q

What fold is due to the obliterated umbilical arteries?

A

Medial umbilical fold

42
Q

Median umbilical fold is due to the _____.

A

43
Q

Lateral umbilical fold is due to the ____.

A

44
Q

What is the deep inguinal ring?

A

beginning of canal for testicular vessels and vas deferens in males and round ligament in females to travel in

45
Q

What is Hasselbach’s triangle?

A
  • Made of the inguinal lilgament lateral border of rectus abdominis and lateral umbilical fold
46
