Lecture 28: Abdomen I Functional Anatomy of the Wall Flashcards
functions of abdominal wall during contraction (4)
-compression of abdominal viscera
-expiration, urination, defecation, parturition
3 ventral abdominal wall regions (surface anatomy)
-cranial abdominal region
-middle abdominal region
-caudal abdominal region
ventral abdominal wall cranial abdominal region: 3 subregions
-xiphoid
-left and right hypochondriac region
ventral abdominal wall middle abdominal region: 4 subregions
-umbilicus
-left and right lateral regions
-umbilical region
ventral abdominal wall caudal abdominal region: 3 subregions
-left and right inguinal regions
-pubic region
which regions are inguinal ligament and superficial inguinal ring found in
left and right inguinal regions
lateral abdominal wall surface anatomy: 3 areas
-dorsal
-ventral
-xiphoid process
lateral abdominal wall surface anatomy: dorsal region
lumbar
lateral abdominal wall: 3 subregions of ventral region
-cranial
-middle
-caudal
lateral abdominal wall surface anatomy beginning at xiphoid process
Xiphoid process –> last rib –> umbilicus –> lumbar spinous process –> lumbar transverse process (large) –> iliac crest (tuber coxae) –> pubis (medial to hindlimb) –> Greater trochanter (femur) –> tuber ischiarum
what is a trait/feature that defines all mammals
mammary glands
mammary glands: anatomy definition
modified, enlarged sweat glands
mammary glands: 2 products of interest
-colostrum
-milk
colostrum: definition and function (when is it produced)
-modified milk produced immediately after parturition
-passive transfer of immunity to newborn
-alkaline secretion with higher protein, vitamin A and antibodies
mammary gland composition
-compound tubuloalveolar gland
-consists of secretory units grouped into lobules by intervening connective tissue septa
bovine udder: what kind of teats
supernumerary
supernumerary teats: definition
-more developed glands
problem with supernumerary teats
may interfere with milking –> often removed from udders of cows and goats
udders specialization: venous drainage
drains to internal thoracic and external + internal pudendal veins
udders specialization: lymphatic drainage
from mammary lymph node
innervation of abdominal wall: flank and udder (5)
Last intercostal
Costoabdominal
Iliohypogastric
Ilioinguinal
Genitofemoral
3 holes in abdominal diaphragm
-caval foramen
-esophageal hiatus
-aortic hiatus
what passes through caval foramen
caudal vena cava
what passes through esophageal hiatus
-esophagus
-vagal trunks
what passes through aortic hiatus
-aorta
-azygous vein
-thoracic duct
right and left crura: definition and function
-tendinous insertions that connect diaphragm to body wall
caval-caval anastamosis: definition
venous blood can be returned to heart from either cranial or caudal vena cava
2 caval-caval anastamoses in abdominal wall
-superficial
-deep
superficial caval-caval anastamosis: definition, vessels, supply to
-within superficial fascia of ventral abdominal wall
-between cranial and caudal superficial epigastric vessels
-supply blood to superficial layers including mammary glands
