To allow passage of the testes through the abdominal wall, a tunnel must be created - this tunnel is known as the ……. which passes obliquely through the muscular layer [1]
It is formed by an outpouching of …… (the processus vaginalis) passing through the layers of the abdominal wall, acquiring a covering from ……, ……… and …… aponeurosis along the way [4]
To allow passage of the testes through the abdominal wall, a tunnel must be created - this tunnel is known as the inguinal canal which passes obliquely through the muscular layer [1]
It is formed by an outpouching of peritoneum (the processus vaginalis) passing through the layers of the abdominal wall, acquiring a covering from transversalis fascia, internal oblique and external oblique aponeurosis along the way.

Where does the testicular artery come from? [1]
Acceptable responses: aorta, abdominal aorta, aorta l2, l2, l2 abdominal aorta
what are direct and indirect inguinal hernias formed from?
Indirect inguinal hernias:
An indirect inguinal hernia enters the deep ring, travels the length of the canal, and exits at the superficial ring, often extending into the scrotum. It is most common in infant males, due to a patent processus vaginalis
Direct inguinal hernias
Direct inguinal hernias do not pass through the deep ring. They bulge through another weak point of the anterior abdominal wall.
They then protrude through the superficial ring. Direct hernias are more common in people who are obese, and who have frequent increased intra-abdominal pressure, due to chronic cough or weightlifting, for example.
Which ligaments comprise the borders of the greater and lesser sciatic foramen? [2]
Acceptable responses: sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments
What effect does relaxin and progesterone have on pelvic ligaments during pregnancy?
Acceptable responses: Relax muscles and loosen ligaments and joints, Relax ligaments, Ligaments become lax

which structures provide muscle control for the flow of urine? [2]
The internal urethral sphincter and the external urethral sphincter both provide muscle control for the flow of urine. The internal sphincter is involuntary. It surrounds the opening of the bladder to the urethra and relaxes to allow urine to pass.
