Everything Flashcards
Fossa in pelvis that femur articulates with
Acetabulum
Connection of ischium and pubis bones
Make infrapubic arch
Ischiopubic ramus
Joint between left and right pubis bones
Pubic symphysis
What nerve innervates respiratory diaphragm
Phrenic (C3-C5)
What perforates the respiratory diaphragm? Where?
Inferior vena cava T8
Esophagus T10
Aorta T12
Each has its own hiatus
Which muscles help with forced inhalation
Serratus posterior superior
External intercostals
Which muscles help with forced exhalation
Internal intercostals Innermost intercostals Transversus thoracis Abdominals Serratus posterior inferior
Muscle that originates at interior sternum and inserts on the ribs
Helps with forced exhalation
Transversus thoracis
What is the name of the line that divides the abdomen (muscles)
Arcuate line
What passes through the inguinal canal
Men - spermatic cord
Women - round ligament of uterus
Layers of abdomen superior - inferior
External oblique Internal oblique Rectus abdominis/ transversus abdominis Transversalis fascia Peritoneum
Which muscle does the superficial inguinal ring perforate
External oblique
Which muscle does the deep inguinal ring perforate
Transversus abdominis
What makes up the largest part of the pelvic diaphragm
What are it’s functions
Levator ani
Supports pelvic viscera, continence
What are the boundaries of the peritoneum
Pubic symphysis
Ischial tuberosity (either side)
Coccyx
What position are you in at the gyno
Lithotomy
What oversees the autonomic nervous system
Hypothalamus
What’s another name for the sympathetic autonomic division
Thoracolumbar
Where in the spinal cord in the sympathetic division
T1-L2
Which neurotransmitter do sympathetic postsynaptic neurons release
Norepinephrine
Describe the path of sympathetic nerves from spinal cord to target
Presynaptic Cell body in lateral horn
Presynaptic axon travels through anterior (ventral) root - communicating rami - sympathetic chain ganglia
Postsynaptic cell body in sympathetic chain ganglia
If target in body cavity - splachnic nerve
If target in skin/extremeties - communicating rami - spinal nerves
Effect of sympathetic nervous system on body
Increase sebaceous glands Decrease lacrimal gland Decrease salivary glands Dilate bronchioles Increase heart rate Decrease peristalsis Relax detrusor/muscular wall of rectum; construct sphincters Secretion of norepinephrine/epinephrine from adrenal medulla (chromaffin cells) Ejaculation
Where is the parasympathetic division in the spinal cord
Brain stem - cranial nerves
S2-S4
Cranio-sacral
