Lecture 2 - Anterior Abdominal Wall Flashcards
The ___ spans from just under the diaphragm superiorly to the pelvic inlet inferiorly.
abdominal cavity
organization of the abdomen wall
skin
camper’s Fascia (superficial fatty layer)
Scarpa’s fascia (membranous layer)
layers of the muscular layer of abdomen wall
external oblique
internal oblique
transversus oblique
what is deep to transvesus oblique muscle
transversalis fascia (endo-abdominal fascia)
what is deep to transversalis fascia
extraperitoneal fat
deepest later of abdomen wall
parietal peritoneum
a tendious like sheet
aponeurosis
in the midline of the anterior abdomen wall we have __ which is the median plane attachment point of all these connective tissues
linea alba
what muscle is on the midline or in between the obliques
rectus abdominis m.
all connective tissues anterior and posterior to the abdominis rectus m
rectus sheath
the rectus abdominis sheet separates into superior and inferior by ___, found between the umbilicus and pubic symphysis
arcuate line
what give the “6 pack” look on the rectus abdominis
tendinous intersection
Anterolaterally- 3 muscles with medial aponeurosis inserting onto linea alba (tendinous
external oblique
internal oblique
transversus abdominis
Medially- Rectus abdominis muscle surrounded by the 3 layers of ___, called Rectus Sheath
aponeurosis
what is superficial and deep to rectus abdominis SUPERIOR to arcuate line
superior (anterior) =external oblique and 1/2 of internal oblique
Deep (posterior)= 1/2 of internal oblique and transversus abdominins, as well as transversalis fascia and parietal peritoneum
what is superficial and deep to rectus abdominis when you are INFERIOR of arcuate line
superficial (anterior) = external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis
deep (posterior) = transversalsis fascia and parietal peritoneum
Infraumbilical peritoneal folds:
from urinary bladder to umbilicus
covers median umbilical ligament
median umbilical fold
Infraumbilical peritoneal folds: covers medial umbilical ligaments
occluded portions of umbilical aa.
medial umbilical folds (2)
Infraumbilical peritoneal folds: covers inferior epigastric vessels
lateral umbilical folds (2)
All vessels run in ___ fat & fascia
superficial
