What is the Transpyloric plane?
- L1
- Level of gall bladder fundus, pylorus, pancreatic neck, SMA origin, HPV, root of transverse mesocolon, hila of kidneys
Subcostal plane?
Passes inferior border of 10th costal cartilage and left transverse colon
Transtubercle plane?
Btw iliac tubercles at the L5 level of iliocecal junction
Interspinous plane
Btw ASIS at level of appendix and sigmoid colon
What fascia is the membranous underlying CT layer of superficial fascia?
Scarpa’s fascia
continuous w/ Colle’s fascia of perineum, fused with fascia lata of lower limb
fluid would not enter fascia lata if building up in scarpa’s fascia
What is camper’s fascia?
fatty layer of superficial fascia
What fascia is continuous with colle’s fascia of perineum and fuses with fascia lata of lower limb?
Scarpa’s
External Oblique innervation and action?
- I: Ventral rami of T7-12of intercostal nerves
- A: Compresses abdomen and increases intra abdominal pressure; moves trunk, and maintains posture
Internal Oblique innervation and action
- I: T7-12 and L1
- A: Compresses and supports viscera, laterally flexes and rotates trunk
Tell apart from external by the fibers, they go upwards at an angle while external fibers run at an angle downwards
Transversus abdominis muscle
- Runs Transverso-medially
- Innervated by T7-L1
- A: Compresses and supports viscera
Rectus Abdominis muscle
- A: Flexes abdomen and compresses it
- Innervated by ventral rami of T7-12
Covered by the rectus sheath
Linea semilunaris - lateral border
What is the Arcuate line?
A sharp transition where the EO, IO, and TA aponeuroses become anterior to rectus abdominis m.
below the line, the rectus abdominis is in contact with transversalis fascia
What are Thoraco-abdominal nerves (T7-11)?
continuation of intercostal nerves; both motor and sensory innervation.
They run between Transverse abdominis and Interal oblique
What is the subcostal nerve?
T12, which runs along inferior 12th rib motor
sensory part is superior to the iliac crest
Iliohypogastric nerve?
- L1 Ventral rami
- Runs between IO and TA giving motor to those muscles, sensory to the upper iniguinal and hypogastric regions
- skin above pubis
