  • Deep/Superficial circumflex iliac
  • Superficial epigastric
A
  • Superior epigastric FROM internal thoracic
  • Inferior epigastric FROM external iliac

19
Q

Nerves of the Anterolateral Wall?

A

Anterior rami of T7-T12 and L1

20
Q

Point of entry to and exit from abdominal cavity?

Importance?

A

The Inguinal Region

  • Point of entry to and exit from abdominal cavity
  • Clinically important re:herniation
21
Q

22
Q

What direction does the inguinal canal covey structures? What structures are conveyed?

A

Canal conveys structures deep to superficial-from the abdominal cavity across the abdominal wall

Structures:

Spermatic cord

Round ligament of uterus

23
Q

Boundaries of the Inguinal Canal?

A
24
Q

__________: Abnormal protrusion of a viscus through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it

A

Hernias: Abnormal protrusion of a viscus through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it

25
Q

What pulls the testes on their descent during development?

A

Gerbernaculum

26
Q

Causes of Indirect Inguinal Hernia?

A

Passage of Testes Through Inguinal Canal Leads to Development of Spermatic Fascia

27
Q

Direct v. Indirect Inguinal Hernia

A

Indirect: Genetic: Loop of intestine follows testes on their descent: Present at birth

Direct: COmmon in old age. Herneating bowel pushes through peritoneum and transversal to enter inguinal canal
