Anterior Abdominal Wall Flashcards
what are the layers of the abdominal wall from superficial to deep
skin, camper’s fascia (fatty SF), scarpa’s fascia (membranous SF)
-3 layers of muscle
- transversalis fascia
- extraperitoneal fat
-parietal peritoneum
where does the linea alba run from
the xyphoid process to pubic symphsis
what is located in camper’s fascia/superficial fascia fatty layer
cutaneous veins
describe scarpa’s fascia/ superficial fascia membranous layer
extremely thin
where does the rectus abdominis insert
on costal cartilages and xiphoid processes
describe the fibers of the rectus abdominis
fibers run vertically, about 3 times as wide superiorly as inferiorly
where are the 4 tendinous insertions of the rectus abdominis
in the superifcial division of the rectus sheath
where is the origin of the rectus abdominic
pubis
what is a aponeurosis
giant flat tendon continuation of muscle fibers
describe the internal abdominal oblique muscle
fibers are not parallel muscle is fan shaped so its not a 90 degree angle between internal and external oblique muscles
where do transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia meet
left and right structures meet at the linea alba
what is spatial relationship between the inguinal ligament and the pelvis
theres a gap between
where do external oblique muscles move in relation to skeletal muscle (superficial)
superior
where do internal oblique muscles move in relation to skeletal muscle (superficial)
inferior
where do transversus abdominis muscles move in relation to skeletal musce (superficial)
inferior
