Lec4PosteriorAbdominalWall Flashcards
Where does the sympathetic innervation of the diaphragm come from?
Sympathetic trunk
Where does the parasympathetic innervation of the diaphragm come from?
Vagus nerve (CN 10)
Appendix pain (appendicitis) can be felt as ______ pain
umbilicus (belly button)
If you damage or irritate diaphram, you can feel pain where and why can you feel it there?
Shoulder because phrenic nerve comes from C3,4,5 and nerves from each one of those can provide innervation to shoulder/arm region
What is hiatal hernia?
A part of the stomach moves backwards into the esophagus due to a weak esophageal sphincter (right crus tendon)
The posterior abdominal wall receives innervation from
lumbar plexus (L1-L4)
What are the branches off the abdominal aorta which supplies the abdomen
Celiac trunk (common hepatic a, splenic a, left gastric a)
Superior Mesenteric Artery
Inferior Mesenteric Artery
What are the posterior abdominal wall muscles?
quadratus lumborum, psoas major and minor, ilacus
What is the PA and DA of the quadratus lumborum?
PA: supero-medial border of rib 12
lumbar transverse processes
DA: iliolumbar ligament
internal lip of ilac crest
What is the innervation of the quadratus lumborum?
ventral primary rami (T12-L4)
Quadratus lumborum is _____ to psoas maj+min and _____ to kidney
lateral, posterior
What is the PA and DA of the psoas major and minor?
PA: vertebrae + intervertebral discs T12-L5
DA: lesser trochanter (femur)
What is the innervation of the posas major and minor?
ventral primary rami (L1-L3)
What is the PA and DA of iliacus?
PA: sup 2/3 iliac fossa
DA: lesser trochanter femur
What is the innervation of the ilacus?
femoral nerve (L2-4)
What is the diaphragm?
a dome shaped muscle arranged radially around a central tendon
What 3 parts is the diaphragm divided into
sternal part: post. surface of xiphoid process
costal part: inner costal cartilage and arcuate ligaments
lumbar part: right and left crural (tendons)
What are the diaphragm openings (hiatus) (hint: they run with the diaphragm)?
IVC (and phrenic n) T8
Esophagus (and vagus n) T10
Aorta T12
What are the arcuate ligaments and what do they pass over?
medial arcuate ligament: passes over posas major m
lateral arcuate ligament: passes over quadratus lumborum m
What is crura?
tendinous structures
What crura do we have and what do they wrap around?
right crus: wraps around esophageal hiatus (to act as esophageal sphincter)
left crus: wraps around aortic hiatus
The diaphragm receives innvervation from what two nervous system and what exact nerve?
Sympathetic=sympatheic trunk
Parasympathetic= vagus nerve (CNX)
The sympathetic innervation to the diaphragm comes from what region, the ganglia is located where, and provides what type of response?
comes from thoracolumbar region
ganglia is located along either side of the spine
provides fight or flight response
The parasympathetic innervation to the diaphragm comes from what region, the ganglia is located where, and provides what type of response?
comes from craniosacral region
ganglia is located in organs and tissues
provides rest and digest response
Each nerve has what type of nerve fibers?
afferent and efferent
