Q

Scarpa’s fascia continues into the peritoneum under a different name. What is it called and what does it connect to? Why is this significance of this?

A
  • Colles Fascia, connects to the perineal membrane

- if the urethra ruptured, since the fascia covers it, leaking urine can go up to the Scarpa’s fascia as well

Q

What is the ICE TIE pneumonic?

A
  • derivatives of the spermatic cord from the abdominal layers
  • Internal spermatic cord (Transversalis fascia)
  • Cremaster muscle (Internal oblique)
  • External spermatic cord (external oblique)
17
Q

How do the abdominal layers spread down to the peritoneal cavity?

A

-descent of the testes pulls the layers down

18
Q

What 3 things does the external oblique and aponeurosis form?

A
  • inguinal ligament
  • superficial inguinal ring
  • external spermatic fascia
19
Q

What makes up the rectus sheath?

A

The aponeurosis of all three abdominal muscles

20
Q

Where is the actuate line located?

A

-between the rectus sheath covering the superior 3/4s of the rectus abdominis and transversalis fascia covering the inferior 1/4

21
Q

What is the cremester reflex? What is the afferent and efferent limb of this reflex?What supplies the cremester muscle? What is the nerve root?

A
  • when you stroke the medical side of a male’s thigh, the testes elevate
  • afferent- ilioinguinal nerve, efferent-genitofemoral nerve
  • supplied by the genitofemoral nerve
  • L1 is tested with this reflex
22
Q

Where does the Subcostal nerve run over? What is it’s nerve root?

A
  • under 12th rib to below the umbilicus

- T12

23
Q

Where does the Iliohypogastric nerve drum through? What is it’s nerve root?

A
  • gosh through the transversus abdominis and through the external oblique aponeurosis
  • L1
24
Q

What is the nerve root for Thoraco-abdominal nerve? Ilio-inguinal nerve?

A
  • T7-T11

- L1

25
Q

What vein is the thoraco-epigastric and superficial epigastric vein derived from?

A

Femoral vein

26
Q

Lymphatic nodes below the umbilicus drain to what group of nodes? How about if they’re above the umbilicus?

A
  • below: superficial inguinal lymph nodes

- above: axillary lymph nodes

27
Q

What makes up the collateral pathway used to get blood back to the heart when the IVC is blocked? What main vein does this anastomosis drain into instead to get to the heart?

A
  • Superficial epigastric (femoral) vein land lateral(axillary) veins = THORACO-EPIGASTRIC VEIN
  • drain into the SVC or superior vena cava
28
Q

What is the difference between indirect and direct hernias?

A
  • indirect: herniation is lateral to inferior epigastric vessels, go through external inguinal ring ONLY, covered by external fascia
  • direct: (Hesselbach triangle) herniation is medial to inferior epigastric vessels, go through internal and external inguinal rings, covered by all 3 layers of the spermatic cord
29
Q

Where is the inguinal canal located?

A

Lies parallel and above medial 1/2 of the inguinal ligament

30
Q

What do the testes relocated from the lumbar region to deep inguinal ring (decent of testes)? Between what weeks does this happen?

A
  • increased abdominal temp and pressure, vertebral column growth, gubernaculum (cord that connect testes with scrotum and it fails to elongate and leads to descent)
  • 9-28 weeks
31
Q

What is the difference between a femoral hernia and an inguinal hernia?

A
  • inguinal: located ABOVE inguinal ligament

- femoral: located BELOW inguinal ligament

32
Q

What is Hydrocele of testes? Hematocele? Vasectomy? Varicocele?

A
  • hydrocele: fluid in the persistent processus vaginalis(tunica vaginalis), large scrotum, transmits light, doesn’t change in size when lying down
  • hematocele: blood in tunica vaginalis, no light transmission since isn’t water
  • vasectomy: ligated vas deferens, can be reversed
  • varicocele: engorgement of blood in pampiniform plexus of veins, no light but shrinks when lying down, causes low sperm count
