A

skin–> fatty layer of superficial fascia (camper’s) –> membranous layer of superficial fascia (Scarpa’s) –> Aponeurosis of ext. abdominal oblique fascia (2 layers) –> 1 layer of internal abdominal oblique Aponeurosis –> Rectus abdominis muscle –> 1 layer of internal abdominal oblique Aponeurosis –> Aponeurosis of transversus abdominis (2 layers)–> transversalis fascia –> extraperitoneal tissue –> parietal peritoneum

28
Q

List the arrangement of layers BELOW THE ARCUATE LINE (slide 48)

A

Skin–> fatty layer of superficial fascia (camper’s) –> membranous layer of superficial fascia (Scarpa’s) –> Aponeurosis of ext. abdominal oblique (2 layers) –> Aponeurosis of int. Abdominal oblique (2 layers) –> Aponeurosis of transversus abdominis (2 layers) –> rectus abdominis muscle –> transversalis fascia –> extraperitoneal tissue –> parietal peritoneum

29
Q

Where does deep venous drainage occur in the abdomen?

A

within the abdominal wall muscles along with arteries

30
Q

Where does superficial drainage occur in the abdomen?

A

Within Camper’s fascia

31
Q

Sensory dermatome for Xiphoid region is ___

A

T7

32
Q

Sensory dermatome for umbilical region is ___

A

T10

33
Q

Sensory dermatome for inguinal fold region is ___

A

L1

34
Q

List the spinal cord contributions for:
A) Iliohypogastric n.
B) Ilioinguinal n.
C) Genitofemoral n.

A

A) Iliohypogastric n=L1 (sometimes T12)
B) Ilioinguinal n=L1
C) Genitofemoral n.=L1 and L2

35
Q

This anterior abdominal wall nerve exits the posterior abdominal wall between QUADRATUS lumborum and psoas muscles, enters the anterolateral abdominal wall and runs between muscles, exits to become cutaneous

A

Iliohypogastric n. (L1, maybe T12) ; gives off a lateral cutaneous branch and anterior cutaneous branch (supplies suprapubic region)

36
Q

This anterior abdominal wall nerve exits the posterior abdominal wall between QUADRATUS lumborum and psoas muscles, enters the anterolateral abdominal wall between muscles, and enters the inguinal canal and emerges through the superficial inguinal ring; it also supplies the groin, thigh & scrotum/labium majus

A

Ilioinguinal n. (L1)

37
Q

This anterior abdominal wall nerve exits the posterior abdominal wall through psoas m. And runs between the peritoneum and the psoas m.

A

Genitofemoral n. (L1 and L2)

Genital branch –> enters inguinal canal through deep inguinal ring and exits through superficial inguinal ring; innervates Cremaster m. Or is cutaneous to labium majus

Femoral branch(es)–> exits inferior to inguinal ligament, cutaneous to femoral triangle area

38
Q

This type of anterior abdominal wall hernia is usually small and wider transversely and usually heals spontaneously

A

Umbilical hernia in INFANT

39
Q

This type of anterior abdominal wall hernia results from weakened abdominal wall around the umbilicus, usually superior to umbilical scar and requires surgical repair

A

Umbilical hernia in ADULTS

More common in WOMEN

40
Q

This type of anterior abdominal wall hernia does not involve the umbilicus, protrudes through the lines alba, is usually superior to the umbilicus, and repaired surgically if large or symptomatic
