What dermatome is the umbilicus in?
T10
T10 for bellybut-TEN
The vertebral level of the umbilicus is
l3-l4
innervation of external oblique
Thoraco-abdominal
and subcostal nerves
Anterior rami of T7-
T12
innervation of internal oblique
Thoraco-abdominal nerves- anterior rami of T7-T11
Subcostal and first lumbar
innervation of transverse abdominus
Thoraco-abdominal nerves- anterior rami of T7-T11
innervation of rectus abdominis
what are they branches of
Thoraco-abdominalnerves
Anterior rami of T7-T12
action of external oblique
Compress and support organs
Flexion and rotation
action of internal oblique
Compress and support organs
Flexion and rotation
action of transversus abdominis
Compression and support
forced expiration
action of rectus abdominis x3
Flexes lumbar vertebra
Compresses organs
Stabilizes and controls tilt of pelvis
whats the linea alba made from
and it’s overall function
aponeuroses of external oblique, internal oblique and transversus abdominis
attachment site for muscles
what 2 muscles lies within the rectus sheath
- Rectus abdominus
- pyramidalis
name for horizontal line in rectus sheath
linea alba
function of the pyramidalis
tense the linea alba
what does the rectus sheath end in
arcuate line
Above the umbilicus the lymphatic drainage goes to the
anterior or … nodes
axillary
Below the umbilicus the lymphatic drainage goes to the
…… nodes.
superficial inguial
whats the inguinal canal
a canal that provides a passage for structures from the abdomen
to the genital region
origin and attachment of inguinal ligament
originates at the anterior superior iliac spine
attaches to the pubic terbucle.
The inguinal ligament is formed from the aponeurosis of which muscle?
EO
The superficial inguinal ring is a break in the aponeurosis of what muscle layer?
EO
What anatomical point is used surgically to determine the location of the superficial inguinal ring?
pubic terbecle
Where is the deep inguinal ring positioned in relation to the pubic tubercle?
above midpoint- between pubic terbecle and ant sup iliac spine
The deep inguinal ring is an oval shaped opening in which muscle layer’s fascia?
transversalis fascia
The 4 borders of the inguinal canal
- Anterior wall: medially aponeurosis of the external oblique, laterally internal oblique muscle
- Posterior wall: transversalis fascia
- Roof: transversalis fascia, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis.
- Floor: inguinal ligament
contents of inguinal canal x3: males
- spermatic chord
- Ilioinguinal and Genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve
- blood and lymphatics
contents of inguinal canal x3: females
- round ligament
- Ilioinguinal and Genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve
- blood and lymphatics
psoas major nerve supply
ventral rami of L1-3
3 muscles on post abdo wall
psoas major
illiacus
quadratus lumborum
action of psoas major
flexes thigh, spine and trunk (with illiacus)
and provides balance to trunk
action of illiacus x3
flexes thigh
stabilises hip
acts with psoas to flex trunk
vertebral level of caval opening
T8
vertebral level of oesophageal haitus
T10
vertebral level of aortic hiatus
T12
action of quadratus lumborum
extends and laterally flexes spine
and fixes 12 rib during inspiration
mnemonic for diaphragm openings
‘I ate 10 Eggs At 12’
I ate(8)- IVC (caval) T8
10 Eggs T10
At 12 - Aorta T12
what sits more ant- IVC or aorta
IVC
fore gut, midgut and hindgut lengths
- The foregut runs from the oesophagus to the duodenum (including liver, gall bladder, spleen and pancreas)
- The midgut runs from the duodenum to the rfirst 2/3rds transverse colon
- The hindgut runs from the last 1/3 transverse colon to the upper anal canal
3 vessels that come off aorta
what area of gut they supply
and vertebral level
- Celiac- foregut, T12
- Superior mesentary- midgut, L2
- Inferior mesentary- hindgut, L3
3 branches of ceoliac trunk
- splenic
- hepatic
- Left gastric
At what vertebral level does the abdominal aorta divide into 2 common iliac arteries?
L4
The portal vein is formed by the union of which 2 major veins of the abdominal cavity?
- splenic Vein
- superior mesenteric Vein
Where does the inferior mesenteric vein drain to?
Splenic vein
portal venous system blood journey
carries venous blood (rich in nutrients that have
been extracted from food)
to the liver for processing
what parts of trunk drain blood via systemic venous system
Blood from the gut tube superior to the diaphragm
and inferior to the pelvic floor
what parts of trunk drain via portal system
Blood from the abdominopelvic gastrointestinal tract
4 sites of the portal-systemic anastomoses?
- Oesophageal
- rectal
- retroperitoneal
- paraumbilical
