27

is a large, oval cavity extending from the diaphragm down to the brim of the pelvis. It is bordered in back by the vertebral column and paravertebral muscles, and at the sides and front by the lower rib cage and abdominal muscles

-joined at the midline by a tendinous seam, the linea alba

A

29
Q

, forms a strip extending the length of the midline, and its edge is often palpable. The muscles protect and hold the organs in place, and they flex the vertebral column.

A

rectus abdominis

30
Q

, a double envelope of serous membrane that lines the abdominal wall (parietal peritoneum) and covers the surface of most abdominal organs (visceral peritoneum)

A

Internal to the abdominal musculature lies the peritoneum

31
Q

double layers of parietal peritoneum, extend from the abdominal wall as pathways for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics

33

A

38
Q

is just below the diaphragm, between the liver and spleen.

A

stomach location

39
Q

rests under the posterior surface of the liver, just lateral to the right MCL.

A

gallbladder location

40
Q

is located in all four quadrants
-extends from the pyloric valve of the stomach to the ileocecal valve in the right lower quadrant (RLQ), where it joins the colon.

A

small intestine (location)

41
Q

is a soft mass of lymphatic tissue on the left posterolateral wall of the abdominal cavity, immediately under the diaphragm

  • lies obliquely with its long axis behind and parallel to the 10th rib, lateral to the midaxillary line.
  • width extends from the 9th to the 11th rib, about 7 cm. It is not palpable normally.
  • If it becomes enlarged, its lower pole moves downward and toward the midline.
A

spleen (location)

42
Q

is just to the left of midline in the upper part of the abdomen
-descends behind the peritoneum, and at 2 cm below the umbilicus it bifurcates into the right and left common iliac arteries opposite the 4th lumbar vertebra.

A

aorta

43
Q

Their pulsations are easily palpated at a point halfway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the symphysis pubis.

A

right and left iliac arteries become the femoral arteries in the groin area

44
Q

is a soft, lobulated gland located behind the stomach. It stretches obliquely across the posterior abdominal wall to the left upper quadrant.

A

pancreas

45
Q

are retroperitoneal, or behind the peritoneal cavity along the posterior abdominal wall

A

bean-shaped kidneys

46
Q

well protected by the posterior ribs and musculature. The 12th rib forms an angle with the vertebral column, the costovertebral angle.

A

bean-shaped kidneys

47
Q

lies here at the 11th and 12th ribs. Because of the placement of the liver, the right kidney rests 1 to 2 cm lower than the left kidney and sometimes may be palpable.

A

left kidney (location)

48
Q

epigastric for the area between the costal margins, umbilical for the area around the umbilicus, and hypogastric or suprapubic for the area above the pubic bone.)

Q
  • liver takes up proportionately more space in the abdomen at birth than in later life
  • In a healthy term neonate the lower edge may be palpated 0.5 to 2.5 cm below the right costal margin.
  • urinary bladder is located higher in the abdomen than in the adult. It lies between the symphysis and the umbilicus.
  • during early childhood the abdominal wall is less muscular; therefore the organs may be easier to palpate.
A

infant organ development

55
Q
  • Nausea and vomiting, or “morning sickness,” is an early sign of pregnancy for most pregnant women, starting between the 1st and 2nd missed periods. = result of hormonal changes such as the production of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
  • another symptom acid indigestion” or heartburn (pyrosis) caused by esophageal reflux
  • Gastrointestinal (GI) motility decreases, which prolongs gastric emptying time. The decreased motility causes more water to be resorbed from the colon, which leads to constipation. The constipation, in addition to increased venous pressure in the lower pelvis, may lead to hemorrhoids.
  • enlarging uterus displaces the intestines upward and posteriorly.
  • Bowel sounds are diminished.
  • The appendix may be displaced upward and to the right, but any appendicitis-related pain during pregnancy would still be felt in the RLQ.
  • skin changes on the abdomen such as striae and linea nigra
A

Pregnant woman (signs and symptoms)

56
Q
  • Aging alters the appearance of the abdominal wall.
  • After middle age, some fat accumulates in the suprapubic area in females as a result of decreased estrogen levels.
  • Males also show some fat deposits in the abdominal area, which accentuates with a more sedentary lifestyle
  • further aging adipose tissue is redistributed away from the face and extremities and to the abdomen and hips. The abdominal musculature relaxes.
  • Age-related changes occur in the GI system but do not significantly affect function as long as no disease is present.
A

Aging alterations in abdomen

57
Q

have an increased risk of falling and thus of hip fracture).

A

older people taking benzodiazepines (caution)

58
Q

symptoms include reduced stool frequency (less than 3 bowel movements per week) and other common and troubling associated symptoms (i.e., straining, lumpy or hard stool, feeling of incomplete evacuation, feeling of anorectal blockage, use of manual maneuvers).

A

Rome III standardizes symptom criteria for functional constipation.

59
Q

include decreased physical activity, inadequate intake of water, a low-fiber diet, side effects of medications (opioids, tricyclic antidepressants), irritable bowel syndrome, bowel obstruction, hypothyroidism, and inadequate toilet facilities (i.e., difficulty ambulating to the toilet may cause the person to deliberately retain the stool until it becomes hard and difficult to pass).

A

Common causes of constipation

60
Q

is the digestive enzyme necessary for absorption of the carbohydrate lactose (milk sugar)
-lactase activity is high at birth but declines to low levels by adulthood

A
