ERG RS2 Flashcards
list the functions of a strong and coordinated abdominal core
-assists in breathing -control the rises in intra-abdominal pressure - assist in stabilizing the abdominopelvic organs -assist in micturition, defecation, and child birth -support the low back
which 3 muscles in the core work together to control abdominal cavity pressure
roof= diaphragm floor= pelvic floor sides= transverse abdominus
what pathology can increased abdominal pressure lead to
hiatal hernia
how are the abdominal organs protected
stomach, pancreas, liver, and kidneys are protected by the bones (ribs, pelvic, L1-L50) and muscles protect the rest
why is the linea alba a safe zone for cutting
has less vessels and nerves
what are the 2 layers of superficial fascia covering of the abdominal cavity
fatty layer= campers fascia membranous layer= scarpas fascia
name the layers of the abdominal wall in order
skin superficial fascia external oblique abdominal muscle internal oblique abdominis muscle transversus abdominis muscle transversalis fascia extraperitoneal fatty tissue peritoneum (parietal layer)
what spinal segment is the umbilicus at
T10
what spinal segment is the pubic line at
L1
name the green, blue, and purple structures
green: abdominal skin blue: spermatic cord purple: femoral triangle (top to bottom= nerve artery, vein)
identify the green, blue, and purple labels
green: external oblique muscle with aponeurosis reflected
blue: linea semilunaris (lateral edge rectus sheath)
purple: linea alba (medial edge of rectus sheath cut longitudinally)
name the purple, green, and blue labels
purple: reflected external oblique muscle and aponeurosis
green: internal oblique muscle, aponeurosis partially removed
blue: rectus sheath overing the rectus abdominus (6 pack)
what direction are the external oblique muscle fibers
anterolateral (hands in pocket)
what direction are the internal oblique muscel fibers
superomedial (hands in mouth, perpendiculaar to external oblique)
what direction are the transverse abdominus fibers
horizontal (toward the midline)
what makes up the anterior and posterior rectus sheaths
fusions of appeneurosis of anterolateral muscles
name the anterolateral muscles superior to deep
external oblique
internal oblique
transverse abdominus
what is surrounded by the anterior and posterior rectus sheath
rectus abdominus
what forms the anterior rectus sheath above the arcuate line
external oblique ap and half of the internal oblique ap
where is the arcuate line
between the umbilicus and pubic symphasis
what makes up the posterior rectus sheath above the arcuate line
half of the internal oblique ap and transversus abdominus ap
what makes up the anterior sheath below arcuate line
all three anterolateral muscle aps
what makes up the posterior rectus sheath below the pectinate line
nothing, it stops after arcuate line
tendonus intersections
connective tissue running horizontally on rectus abdominus (6 pack lines)
what is th elinea alba
where appeneurosis fuse, on the midline
semilunar line
white line that runs longitudinally along lateral rectus abdominus and on lateral anterior wall of rectus abdominus,
what artery and vein run on the posterior of the rectus abdominus where do they enter
the inferior epigastric artery and vein runs superiorly along rectus abdominus and enters ar arcuate line
what makes up the inguinal ligament
external oblique muscle appeneurosis
where is the superficial inguinal ring
external oblique appenerosis
where does the ingiunal ligament span
between anterior superior iliac spine and pubic tubercle
what is the inguinal canal
extens from superficial inguinal ring to deep inguinal ring
where is the deep inguinal ring
inside the pelvis
what are the contents of the spermatic cord
vas deferens, testicular artery, pampiniform plexus of veins, cremaster muscle
