Anterior Abdominal wall and Abdominal organs Flashcards
What 3 bones fused to form the pelvis bone?
Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis
The the flat muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall
External abdominal oblique
Internal abdominal oblique
Transverse abdominis
What is the strong sheet like at the ending of the anterolateral flat muscles?
Aponeurosis
What is the convergence point of the aponeuroses?
Linea alba
External oblique(Attachment)
- ribs 5-12
- Linea alba, pubic tubercle, iliac crest
External oblique(innervation)
segmental thoracoabdominal nerves
External oblique (Action)
- Compress, support abdominal viscera
- Flex and rotate trunk to the OPPOSITE side
What does the lower border of the external oblique aponeurosis form?
the inguinal ligament
one of each side
Where does the inguinal ligament pass between
ASIS and the pubic tubercle.
What forms the boundaries of the inguinal canal?
The aponeurosis of the external oblique
what are the two openings of the inguinal canal?
Deep inguinal ring and superficial inguinal ring
Contents of the inguinal canal
in males: Spermatic cord -ductus deferens -Testicular artery -Sympathetic nerve fibers In females: round ligament of the uterus
Internal oblique(Attachment)
- Thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, inguinal ligament
- Ribs 10-12, linea alba
Internal oblique(Innervation)
segmental thoracoabdominal nerves
Internal oblique(Action)
- Compress, support abdominal viscera
- Flex and rotate trunk to SAME side
Transversus abdominis (attachment)
- Ribs 7-12 costal cartilage, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia
- Linea alba, pubic crest
Transversus abdominis (innervation)
-Segmental thoracoabdominal nerves
Transversus abdominis (action)
-compress, support abdominal viscera
What are the three flat muscles covered in anteriorly and posteriorly ?
Fascia
what is the only distinguishable layer of fascia of the flat muscles and describe it?
Transversalis fascia
It is the layer deep to the transversalis abdominis muscle
continuous with the fascia of the internal aspect of the abdominal wall, the endoabdominal fascia
what is deep to the tranversalis fascia and function?
Extraperitoneal fascia
stores varying amounts of fat.
What is deep to the extraperitoneal fascia and describe it?
Peritoneum
a thin serous membrane lining the abdominal walls and some viscera in the abdominal cavity.
Rectus abdominal(Attachments)
- pubic symphysis and pubic crest
- xiphoid process and costal cartilages 5-7
Rectus abdominal(innervation)
segmental thoracoabdomial nerves
