16
Q

Describe the mesentery and its functions

A

Double layer of peritoneum
Dorsal and ventral
Relative to the gut tube

It suspends gut organs
Pathway for VAN and lymph

17
Q

What is part of the ventral mesentery that doesn’t degenerate during development?

A

The foregut

18
Q

Describe the dorsal mesentery and its functions

A

Attaches to organs, posterior to abdominal wall,
gives rise to a set of organs:
Mesentery of small and large intestine

Gastrosplenic

Lienorenal

Greater Omentum

19
Q

Where is the ventral mesentery located?

and what does it become

A

Foregut only

Gives rise to Falciform ligament

Ligaments around the liver

Degenerates during development- ecept foregut

20
Q

Generally describe the abdomen

A

Trunk below diaphragm

21
Q

What is the abdominal cavity occasionally called?

A

Abdominopelvic

22
Q

What is the abdominopelvic divided into

A

Abdomen proper

and Greater pelvis

23
Q

The greater pelvis is continuous with

A

Lesser pelvis

24
Q

Describe the barriers of the abdominal wall

A

Flat abdominal muscles
&
Lumbar vertebral column

25
Q

what are the muscles anterior to the abdominal wall

A

External oblique
Internal oblique
Transversus abdominis
Rectus abdominis

26
Q

What is the function of the External oblique and description

A

From- outer surface of lower ribs
to: Linea alba-down midline:
ending at the iliac crest
and pubic tubercle

Works with internal oblique for torsional movement of trunk

27
Q

Func and descrip of internal oblique

A
From: lateral 1/3 inguinal ligament 
ant 2/3 iliac crest 
To: linea alba 
coastal margin
Rest of pubic bone 

Flex and rotate trunk
compress viscera

28
Q
Transversus abdominis 
func and descrip
A

From: Lat 1/3 inguinal ligament
Int surface lower 6 ribs
Iliac crest
To: Linea alba Crest of pubic bone

Compress and support viscera

29
Q

Rectus abdominis func and descrip

A

From: Pubic symphysis + crest
To: xiphoid process
5th-7th costal cartilages

Flexes trunk
compresses viscera

30
Q

VAN of structures anterior to abdominal wall

A

V-Thoracoepigastric
A-Sup and inf epigastric, intercostal and circumflec iliac
N- Thoracoabdominal

31
Q

What additional nerves supply the rectus abdominis

A

Thoracic and subcoastal nerves

32
Q

What are the lesser and greater sacs

A

Formed via organ rotation
Lesser-behind stomach
Rest of peritoneal cavity- greater sac

33
Q

What do the sacs communicate via

A

Epiloic foramen

34
Q

What is the inguinal canal

A

Serves as a passage way for the spermatic cord to reach scrotum in male

Round ligament of uterus to reach labia majora in female

35
Q

What are the inguinal canals limited by

A

Superficial and deep inguinal rings
