33
Q

What is the rectus sheath formed from?

A

aponeuroses of external oblique, internal oblique, & transversus abdominus

34
Q

What would you find in the rectus sheath?

A
  1. Rectus abdominus (sup. 2/3)
  2. Sup/Inf epigastric A.V.
  3. Lymphatic Vessels
  4. Distal portions of thoracoabdominal nerves
35
Q

What is the arcuate line?

A

Point where rectus abdominus travels within rectus sheath (deep)

36
Q

Superficial veins of the abdominal wall radiate out from the….

A

umbilicus

37
Q

If you are a blood cell in a vein traveling superior to the umbilicus, where are you drained into?

A

Axillary V. Via the lateral thoracic V.

38
Q

If you are a blood cell in a vein traveling inferior to the umbilicus, where are you drained into?

A

Femoral V. via the superficial epigastric V.

39
Q

The paraumbilical vv. connects what? why is it important?

A

Connects the network through the umbilicus and along the ligaemntum teres of the liver to the portal vein
*Forms an important portal-systemic venous anastomosis

40
Q

What a. & v. supply the lateral wall of the abdomen?
(ext oblique, int oblique, transversus abdominus)

A

Intercostal & lumbar a./v.

41
Q

What is the blood supply to the rectus abdominus?

A

Superior & Inferior epigastric

42
Q

The epigastrics anastomosis in the abdomen. Where does the superficial arise from? inferior?

A

S: internal thoracic
I: external iliac

43
Q

Lymphatic drainage moves __________ from the umbilicus

A

AWAY

44
Q

Drainage above the umbilicus (lymph) drains to…

A

anterior axillary lymph nodes

45
Q

Drainage below the umbilicus (lymph) drains to…

A

superficial inguinal lymph nodes

46
Q

Why do the lymphatic drainage between the testes and scrotum differ?

A

Teste lymphatic drainage goes to the superficial inguinal lymph nodes. Lymphatic drainage from the testes goes to the lumbar lymph nodes. This is b/c the scrotum is an outpouching. The testes org. in the lumbar area and move down during development
(i.e., blame embryo)
