Anterior Abdomen and Peritoneum Flashcards
Ab organs protected by
Thoracic cage and pelvis
9 regions of abdoment
Epigastric Umbilical Pubic Left/R hypochondriac R/L lateral (lumbar) L/R Inguinal
Sucostal plane
Divides top and middle row
Transtubercular plane
Divides middle and lower rows
Midclavicular pplanes divide
Right and Left from middle row
Anterolateral ab wall superficial fascai
Fatty superficial (Camper's) Deep membranous (Scarpas)
What is Scarpas renamed
Colles in inguinal region
Anterolateral deep fascia
Deep investing fascia
External abdominal oblique fibers run
Inferiorly and medially (hands in pockets)
Internal abdominal oblique fibers run
Perpindicular to external oblique (superiorly and medially)
Internal ab oblique changes direction at ____ to _____
ASIS
Medial and inferior
Transversus abdominus fibers run ____ and how to do they change?
Horizontally…inferiro to ASIS, fibers run same as internal oblique
Inguinal ligament formed by
Inferior free border of aponeuorsis of external ab obqliue between ASIS and pubic tubercle
Rectus abdominis runs ____ and enclosed by _____
Vertical
Enclosedb y aponeuroses of muscle
Tendinous intersections
Interruptions of rect abdom by horizontal bands
Rectus sheath composed of what and formed by what?
Longitudinal pocket of anterior rectus sheath and posterior rectus sheath
Formed by aponeuroses of ext ab oblique, internal ab oblique, and transversus abdominus
Linea semilunaris
Where anterolateral ab wall muscles continuous with retus sheath
Actions of anterlateral ab muscles
Support and compress viscera
Flex vertebral column with bilateral contraction
Lateral flexion of column with unilat contract
Rotation of trunk when internal ab oblique and contralateral external ab oblique contract simulataneous (turns toward internal ab oblique side)
Innervation of anterolateral wall muscles
Intercostal nerves T7-T12 and L1
Ipsilateral contraction of external and internal oblique results in
Lateral trunk flexion toward side of contraction
Contralateral contraction of external and internal oblique results in
Twitsting of trunk toward the internal side
How are internal oblique and contralateral external oblique connected?
Aponeuroses - digastric muscle
During rotation, rectus abdominis acts as a
Fixed post
Peritoneum
Serous lining of ab cavity and organs
Types of peritoneum and description
Parietal - lines ab wall and drapes into pelvis
Visceral - covers external surface of ab viscera
Functions of periotoneum
Reduce friction
Resists infection by exuding fluid and cells
Stores fat
Layers of abdominopevlic fascia
Transversalis fascia Diaphragmatic fascia Quadratus lumborum fascia Pelvic fascia Fascia lata
Blood, lymph, nerves relative to fascial lining of abdominopelvic
Blood and lymph vessels lie in the lining
Nerves lie outside
Abdominopelvic fascia special function
Below ASIS, it is only anterior wall strucutre posterior to rectus abdominus
Dorms inguinal ring and extends ofver spermatic cord as internal spermatic fascia
Arcuate line
Line at ASIS
Inferior to arcuate, what separates rectus abdominus from ab contents
Transversalis fascia and peritoneum
Transversalis fascia
Internal later of deep investing fascia of ab wall muscles
Similar to endothoracic fascia of thorax
What is continous with endopelvic fascia of pelivs
Transversalis fascia
Posterior rectus sheath below acruate line
Disappears
Most important arteires of ab cavity
Superior epigastric and inferior epigastric
