Q

describe the ant. and post . of the rectus sheath :

A

comprised of different combinations of the aponeuroses

depending on the lev

19
Q

what does contraction of the abdominal wall muscles allow :

A
  • Defecation
  • Micturition
  • Parturition
20
Q

when do we have forced expiration

A

When the abdominal muscles contract

and diaphragm relaxes simultaneously

21
Q

Blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall : superficial superior

A

. Superior part of the wall –
musculophrenic (terminal
branch of internal thoracic)

22
Q

Blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall : superficial inferior

A

superficial epigastric artery +

superficial circumflex iliac artery

23
Q

Blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall;

superior deep

A
superior
epigastric artery (terminal branch of
the internal thoracic artery)
24
Q

Blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall;deep lateral

A

intercostal

arteries + subcostal artery

25
Q

Blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall;deep inferior

A

inferior
epigastric artery + deep circumflex
iliac artery (both branches of the
external iliac artery)

26
Q

which two abdominal arteries anastomose and enter the rectus sheath

A

The superior +

inferior epigastric arteries

26
Q

which two abdominal arteries anastomose and enter the rectus sheath

A

The superior +

inferior epigastric arteries

27
Q

lymphatic drainage of abdominal wall : areas above the umbiicus drain to ?

A

to the
axilla or parasternal
nodes

28
Q

lymphatic drainage of abdominal wall:areas below the umbilicus drain into

A

superficial inguinal

nodes

29
Q

Median abdominal incision

A

At the linea alba good for exploratory
laparotomy; advantage is that no blood vessels
cross the area, good suture repair

30
Q

Pfannenstiel abdominal incision

A
  • Above the pubic symphysis

- Caesarean section

31
Q

Mc Burney’s point abdominal incisions

A
-2/3 between the umbilicus
and ASIS
β€’Appendectomy
β€’ Avoids ilioinguinal nerve (#12)
and iliohypogastric nerve
32
Q

Kocher abdominal incision

A
  • Subcostal

β€’ For access to the gallbladder

33
Q

Arcuate line

A

Termination of the aponeurotic portion of rectus sheath

Transversalis fascia continues

34
Q

Hesselbach’s triangle

A

Medial border: lateral edge of the rectus sheath
Inferior border: inguinal ligament
Lateral border: inferior epigastric artery

35
Q

Inguinal region

A

-Provides passage from the abdominal
cavity to the lower limb and perineum
-Males: spermatic cord, ilioinguinal nerve
-Females: round ligament, ilioinguinal nerve

36
Q

How do the testes develop:

A

-Descends into the scrotum by passing through the
abdominal wall
-Creates the inguinal canal
-Spermatic cord is formed as the testes pass through
the different layers, obtaining a portion of each

37
Q

what forms the External spermatic

fascia

A

formed by external abdominal

oblique aponeurosis

38
Q

what form the Internal spermatic fascia

A

formed by transversalis fascia

39
Q

what forms the Tunica vaginalis

A
formed by parietal
peritoneum
contains a small amount of
fluid that gets reabsorbed
when proximal part
becomes obliterated
40
Q

what forms the Cremaster muscle

A

formed by internal
abdominal oblique muscle
and aponeurosis

41
Q

function of the Dartos muscle

A

muscle layer that allows for

puckering of the skin

42
Q

Inguinal hernias

A

protrusion of parietal peritoneum, gastrointestinal
viscera (small and/or large intestines), fat through
inguinal canal and possibly into the scrotum

43
Q

Direct Inguinal hernias

A
  • Medial to the inferior epigastric vessels
  • Only through the superficial ring
  • Acquired
  • Strain - picking up a heavy object
44
Q

Indirect inguinal hernias

A

β€’ Lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels
β€’ Passes through both deep and superficial
rings
β€’ Congenital
β€’ Patent processus vaginalis

44
Q

Hydrocele

A

Collection of fluid in the tunica vaginalis

Usually in infants
