pubic artery
external spermatic/ cremasteric artery
the femoral artery gives rise to what 2 arteries?
superifical epigastric
superficial external pudendal
this vein is responsible for caput medusa in liver cirrhosis
paraumbilical veins
lymph drainage above the umbilicus
pectoral nodes
lymph drainage below the umbilicus
superficial inguinal nodes
intercostal muscle nerve innervation
T7-T11
subcostal muscle nerve intervation
T12
iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerve innervation
L1
this abd muscle is the straigt muscle of the abdomen and has tendonous intersections
rectus abdominis
this muscle of the abdomen forms lateral portion of inguinal canal and the cremasteric muscle
internal oblique
this action of this abdominal muscle is flexion of the vertebral column
external oblique
this abdominal muscle forms the inguinal ligament and superficial ring of the inguinal canal
external oblique
this abdominal muscle flexes and laterally bends the trunk, supports, and increases intra-abdominal pressure
transverse abdominis
this abdominal muscle forms the deep ring of the inguinal canal
transverse abdominis
name the layers of the rectus sheath from superficial to deep
external oblique
internal oblique
transversus
this is where the rectus sheath becomes anterior only
arcuate line
what are 4 different types of abd hernias?
umbilical
incisional
linea alba
linea semilunaris
this type of abdominal incision is along the linea alba and avoids arteries
midline
this type of abdominal incision is a horizontal cut and avoids nerve damage
transverse
this type of abdominal incision is 2.5 cm below costal margin to avoid the 7th thoracic nerve and is used for gallbladder and spleen procedures
subcostal
this type of abdominal incision splits muscle fibers and is used for appendectomies
muscle splitting
what are the 3 umbilical ligaments?
median umbilical
paired medial umbilical
paired lateral umbilical
if this umbilical ligament fails to close it may lead to urine leakage, it is also used for landmark for laparotomy
median umbilical ligament
these umbilical ligments are remnants of the umbilical arteries
paired medial umbilical ligaments
the action of this posterior abd muscle is extension and flexion of the vertebral column
quadratus lumborum
this posterior abd muscle flexes the vertebral column and the thigh
psoas
this is a fan shaped posterior abd muscle
iliacus
this is formed by 2 posterior abd muscles and is the major flexor of the thigh
iliopsoas
this is the most important nerve of the lumbar plexus
femoral nerve
this major nerve of the lumbar plexus innervates the anterior, lateral and medial leg
femoral nerve
2 major peripheral branches of lumbar plexus
L1- ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric
this is a double layer of peritoneum connecting viscera to abd wall
mesentery
this is a double layer of peritoneum attached to the stomach
omentum
this part of the peritoneum forms a ligament and connects viscera to abd wall
peritoneal ligament
this recess is posterior to the appendix
retrocecal
this recess is the lowest point in peritoneal cavity when supine and is the recess of the greater sac to the right of the epiloic foramen
Morrison’s pouch/ hepatorenal recess
these recesses are lateral to the ascending and descending colon
paracolic gutters
this recess is between the diaphragm and liver
subphrenic
*subphrenic abscess
peritonitis generates sticky fluid containing _______
fibrin
greater splanchnic nerve includes….
T5-T9
lesser splanchnic nerve includes…
T10 and T11
least splanchnic nerve includes…
T12
lumbar splanchnic nerve includes….
L1-L3
where does the greater splanchnic nerve synapse?
celiac ganglia
where does the lesser splanchnic nerve synapse?
superior mesenteric ganglia
where does the least splanchnic nerve synapse?
superior mesenteric ganglia
where does the lumbar splanchnic nerve synapse?
inferior mesenteric ganglia
PS innervation of the abdomen includes what 2 major nerves?
vagus
pelvic splanchnic nerve (S2-S4)
what 2 plexuses does the vagus nerve utilize to innervate the GI tract?
celiac plexus
superior mesenteric plexus
what plexus does the pelvic splanchnic nerve utilize to innervate the gut?
inferior mesenteric plexus
what 3 arteries does the celiac trunk give rise to?
L gastric
splenic
common hepatic
* proper hepatic
* gastroduodenal- superior pancreaticoduodenal
* R gastric
branches of SMA
inferior pacreaticoduodenal
middle colic
R colic
iliocolic
branches of IMA
L colic
sigmoid branches
superior rectal artery
this is the junction between squamous epithelium and gastric columnar epithelium at the stomach
Z line
where is the MC site of gastric ulcers?
lesser curvature
if gastric ulcers are found here, they are considered cancerous until proven otherwise
greater curvature
rugae are almost absent along which stomach curvature
lesser
this is the 1st section of the small intestine
duodenum
this section of the small intestine has thick walls, more prominent plicae circulares and the mesentary has less fat, allowing branches of the emsenteric artery to be more clear
jejunum
this part of the small intestine has peyer’s patches and more arcades
ileum
these veins combine to form the portal vein
superior mesenteric
splenic (inferior mesenteric flows into splenic)
where is diverticulosis most of the time?
sigmoid colon
where is the appendix usually located?
retrocecal
