What’s found in the RUQ? (10 things)
liver right lobe gallbladder pylorus of stomach duodenum parts 1-3 pancreas right suprarenal gland right kidney right colic flexure superior ascending colon right half of transverse colon
What’s found in the RLQ?
cecum appendix ileum inferior ascending colon right ovary right uterine tube abdominal part of right ureter and spermatic cord uterus and bladder if enlarged/full
What is found in LUQ?
left lobe of liver spleen stomach jeju ileum pancreas body and tail left kidney left suprarenal gland left colic (splenic) flexure left half of transverse colon superior part of descending colon
What is found in LLQ?
sigmoid colon descending colon (inf) left ovary left uterine tube/spermatic cord left ureter uterus and bladder if enlarged/full
What level is the transpyloric plane? What is found there?
L1
gall bladder fundus, pylorus, pancreatic neck, SMA origin, hepatic portal vein, root of transverse mesocolon, hila of kidneys
What level is the subcostal plane? What is found there?
inferior border of 10th costal cartilage
transverse colon
Where do you find the transtubercle plane? What is it the level of?
between the iliac tubercles
ileocecal junction
What lines the abdominal abdominal pelvic cavities?
peritoneum, walls are mostly bone, muscle and CT
What are the boundaries of the anteriolateral abdominal wall?
Upper= 7-10 costal cartilages Lower= inguinal ligament and pelvic bones
What are the layers of the anteriolateral abdominal wall (sup to deep)?
Skin
Camper’s Fascia
Scarpa’s fascia
What is Scarpa’s fascia?
Membraneous underlying CT layer of superficial fascia that is continuous with Colle’s of perineum but fused with fascia of LL
Prevents fluid from going from abdomen into the leg, fluid can flow in out out of superficial perineum
What does the aponeurosis of the anteriolateral wall form?
Rectus sheath which overlies rectus abdominis
What is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the External Oblique muscle?
O: outer surface lower 6 ribs
I: aponeurosis and linea alba, ant iliac crest and pubic tubercle. Lower portion rolled under to make inguinal ligament attached to ASIS and pubic tubercle, opening for superficial inguinal ring
N: ventral rami T7-12 of intercostal nerves (same as rectus abdominus)
A: compress abdomen, increase intra-abdominal pressure, move trunk and retain posture, important when get punched in stomach
What does the external oblique muscle interdigitate with?
serratus anterior
What is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the internal oblique muscle?
O= iliac crest and thoracolumbar fascia
I= lower 10-12 ribs, aponeurosis, linea alba, punic crest, lower part becomes conjoint tendon, some fibers go to make cremasteric m.
N= T7-L1 (same as transversus abdominis)
A= compress and support viscera, laterally flex and rotate
What is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the trasnversus abdominis muscle?
O= lower 7-12 ribs
I= linea alba, pectin pubs, pubic crest, aponeurosis contributes to rectus sheath
N= T7-L1 (same as internal oblique)
A= compress and support viscera
What is the origin, insertion, innervation, and action of the Rectus Abdominis?
O: pubic symphysis and pubic crest
I: xiphoid process and outer surface of 5th-7th intercostal cartilages, tendinous intersections form part of rectus sheath at umbilical
N: ventral rami T7-T12
A: flex abdomen and compresses it
