Q

genital branch genitofemoral

A

cremaster muscle

L1-2

17
Q

anterior scrotal branch iliolinguinal

A

inside canal?

L1

18
Q

spermatic cord contents

A

vas deferens (+ art and vein)
genital branch-genitofemoral
external and internal spermatic fascia
cremaster muscle/art/vein
vestige processus vaginalis, tunica vaginalis
testicular plexus
testicular artery
testicular vein/pampiniform plexus

19
Q

muscles

inguinal region

A

pyramidalis
cremaster
dartos

20
Q

pyramidalis

A

tenses linea alba
subcostal T12

not important

21
Q

dartos muscle

A

shrivels testes when cold to hold heat

from scarpa’s fasica

22
Q

gubernaculum

A

ligamentous primordia attaches developing testis/ovary and scrotal/labial folds

marks site of future inguinal canal

23
Q

inguinal canal formation

A

7th week- parietal peritoneum projects out into processus vaginalis to make pocket thru body wall
9th month- pocket/procesus vaginalis seals

next to gubernaculum

24
Q

peritoneum

becomes

A

tunica vaginalis

25
Q

camper’s fascia

becomes

A

nothing in spermatic cord

26
Q

layers in labia majora

A

external fascia
cremasteric muscle and fascia
internal fascia
round ligament

labia major same as scrotum
round lig from gubernaculum

27
Q

inguinal canal in females

formation

A

upper gubernaculum > ovarian ligament
lower gubernaculumm > round ligament
8th week start > 15th week end

28
Q

hernia

A

protrusion of tissue or organ thru weakness or opening in layers normally contained in

29
Q

hernia

causes

A

erect posture
inc intra-ab pressure (constipation, birth, coughing)
processus vaginalis not sealing
muscular deficiency
tissue abnormality

30
Q

common hernias

A

direct inguinal
indirect inguinal
femoral

31
Q

direct hernias

A

thru weaking in hasselbach triange
thru body wall
parallel to cord never within

unilateral bc acquired somehow

32
Q

hasselbach triangle borders

A

inferior epigastric superior
rectus abdominus medial
inguinal ligament lateral/inferior

33
Q

indirect hernia

congenital

A

thru deep ring
within cord
bilateral presentation

34
Q

femoral hernia

A

thru femoral ring
more common in older women

35
Q

hydrocele

clinical correlate

A

build up of fluid
can go away on it’s own
less dangerous
can be associated w/ hernias

36
Q

hematocele

clinical correlate

A

filled with blood
more dangerous

37
Q

spermatocele

clinical correlate

A

epididymis cyst
build up of sperm and assoc fluids
feels hard so mistaken for cancer
common
