Inguinal Region (Abdomen) Flashcards
where do structures exist and enter the abdominal cavity
the inguinal area
75% of abdominal hernias happens in
inguinal area
86% of inguinal hernia occur in
males, because of the passage of the spermatic cord through inguinal canal
male gonads travel through what to get from the abdomen to the perinuem
the inguinal canal
the ingiunal ligament and illopubic tract is the lowest portion of what
our external oblique
last portion of the external oblique aponeruosis
lacunar ligament forms what
the medial boundary of the subinguinal space
pectineal ligament of Cooper
most lateral of the fibers and it runs along pecten pubis
the thickened inferior margin of the transversalis fascia that appears as a fibrous band and runs parellel to the inguinal ligament is the
iliopubic tract
iliopubic tract can be viewed?
posteriorly
the inguinal lig and iliopubic tract span an area of innate weakness in the groin area called
myopectineal orifice
the myopectineal orifice is the sight of what
groin hernias
femoral hernia is more common in
female ( due to size of pelvis
the dragging process of gonads occurs where
inguinal canal ( formed for dragging)
what lies parallel and superior to the inguinal ligament
the inguinal canal
the round lig ( women) and spermatic cord ( males) is main occupant of
inguinal canal
the inguinal canal also has
blood and lymphatic vessels
gubernaculum (male)
a fibrous cord that connects the primordial testies to the anterolateral abdominal wall
all blood vessels for testes and ovaries come from
the posterior side of lumbar area (dragging area)- they are not the structure of pelvis
testes are in pelvis when
12th week
testes are close to inguinal ring when
28th week ( 7 months)
testies begin to pass through inguinal canal when
28th week
how long does it take for testes to pass through inguinal canal
3 days
as the testis, ductus deference and its vessels/nerves descend they are ensheathed in what
musculofascial extensions from the anteriorlateral abdomen wall
( making adult scrotum)
