Q

four quadrants of the abdomen

A

The median plane is a vertical line drawn through the umbilicus and the transumbilical plane is a horizontal line drawn through the umbilicus. These lines divide the abdomen into the right upper quadrant (RUQ), left upper quadrant (LUQ), right lower quadrant (RLQ) and left lower quadrant (LLQ).

Q

anterolateral abdominal wall

A

thoracic cage contributes to the superior part. bound by costal margin and xiphisternum superiorly. Inferiorly by iliac and pubic crests, pubic symphasis and inguinal ligament. skin - campers - scarpas fascia - areolar connective tissue - muscles ( I,E oblique, transversus abdominus, rectus abdominus and pyramidalis-80% people). anteriorly the I E oblique and transversus abdominus become apeunurotic-fibrous sheeth that encloses rectus abdominus.

Q

what forms the floors of the inguinal canal

A

The anterior wall is formed by the aponeurosis of the external oblique, and reinforced by the internal oblique muscle laterally.
The posterior wall is formed by the transversalis fascia.
The roof is formed by the transversalis fascia, internal oblique and transversus abdominis.
The floor is formed by the inguinal ligament

Q

rings of inguinal canal

A

The two openings to the inguinal canal are known as rings. The deep (internal) ring is found above the midpoint of the inguinal ligament. which is lateral to the epigastric vessels. The ring is created by the transversalis fascia, which invaginates to form a covering of the contents of the inguinal canal.

The superficial (external) ring marks the end of the inguinal canal, and lies just superior to the pubic tubercle. It is a triangle shaped opening, formed by the evagination of the external oblique, which forms another covering of the inguinal canal contents. This opening contains intercrural fibres, which run perpendicular to the aponeurosis of the external oblique and prevent the ring from widening.

Q

What name is given to the endoabdominal fascia that is located in the region of the anterolateral abdominal wall?

A

transversalis fascia

18
Q

four layers of the GI tract

A

mucosa, submucosa, muscularis ecterna, serous/adventitia

19
Q

rectus sheath

A

Anteriorly the external and internal oblique muscles and the transversus abdominis muscles become aponeurotic. The aponeurotic fibres merge together to from a strong fibrous sheath that encloses the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles. The anterior and posterior components of the sheath differ according to location. look at colouring book for more details
