A

Pyramidalis

34
Q

A

Linea Alba

36
Q

Most fibers of the ___ ___ muscle run inferomedially—in the same direction as the fingers do when the hands are in one’s side pockets

A

Anterior Superior

38
Q

The inferior margin of the aponeurosis of the external oblique folds under and back on itself to form the ___ ___.

It is a fibrous band extending between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle (of pubic bone).

A

Inguinal Ligament

39
Q

The superior epigastric artery is a continuation of the ___ ___ ___. It enters the rectus sheath, and provides arterial blood to the rectus abdominis and superior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall.

A

Internal Thoracic Artery

40
Q

The inferior epigastric artery arises from the ___ ___ and runs superiorly to enter the rectus sheath. It supplies the lower part of the rectus abdominis.

Q

_____ between the superior and inferior epigastric arteries is approximately in the umbilical region

Hepatic Portal

55
Q

What are the two portal systems in the body:

A

Hepatic portal system

Hypophyseal portal system.

56
Q

A ___ system is formed when one venous capillary system coalesces and then branches out to form another capillary system without the heart being between them.

A

Portal

57
Q

Capillaries of the intestines coalesce to form the inferior and superior mesenteric veins, then come together (with the ___ ___) to form the hepatic portal vein.

It then goes to the liver and forms sinusoidal capillaries (no heart between capillary systems).

A

Splenic Vein

58
Q

Capillaries of the intestines coalesce to form the inferior and superior mesenteric veins, then come together (with the splenic vein) to form the hepatic portal vein.

It then goes to the liver and forms ___ capillaries (no heart between capillary systems).

A

Sinusoidal

59
Q

After passing through the liver for processing, blood drains into the hepatic veins which empty into the ___ ___ ___.

A

Inferior Vena Cava

60
Q

The portal venous system is not limited to spanning the interval between the intestines and the liver. It connects with the systemic venous system (conventional system of veins) at a number of locations: between esophageal veins that drain into the ___ vein, rectal veins, and paraumbilical veins of the anterior abdominal wall.

A

Azygos vein

61
Q

Esophageal varices are extremely dilated sub-mucosal veins in the (upper/middle/lower)? third of the esophagus, most commonly consequence of portal hypertension. These veins have a strong tendency for bleeding.

A

Lower 1/3rd

62
Q

Most of the blood from the esophagus is drained by esophageal veins which enter the azygos vein, then to the superior vena cava. These veins have no part in esophageal varices.

A

slide 292

63
Q

Varices in the rectal area are termed ____

A

Hemorrhoids

64
Q

Scarring and fibrosis from cirrhosis obstruct the portal vein in the liver, causing pressure in the portal vein to rise.

In severe cases of portal obstruction, the paraumbilical veins become varicose and look somewhat like small snakes radiating under the skin around the umbilicus. This is referred to as ___ ___ due to its resemblance to the serpents on the head of Medusa in Greek mythology.

A

Caput Medusae

65
Q

Caput medusae is caused by the umbilical vein becoming recanalised due to portal ____.

A

Hypertension

66
Q

Esophageal varices result when submucosal veins in the esophagus become ____.

Because such varices are easily eroded leading to massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage, they are a serious problem produced by portal hypertension

Dilated
