Lecture 7 - Diaphragm, kidneys, and posterior ab wall Flashcards
what kind of plexus is the lumbar plexus?
somatic - (sensory and motor)
all fibers of diaphragm insert at
central tendon
when diaphragm is contracting what is the body doing
inspiration
innervation of diaphragm
phrenic nerve
phrenic nerves are passing through diaphragm from
thoracic cavity
phrenic nerve is coming from
ventral rami of cervical plexus of nerves (C3,C4,C4)
which nerves keep you breathing and alive
C3,C4,C5
phrenic nerve has both motor and sensory, and anatomizes with some intercostal sensory nerve at
periphery of diaphragm
the phrenic nerve is majority sensory or motor?
motor but has both
IVC passes through the diaphragm where
vena cava foramen T8
esophagus passes through diaphragm where
esophageal hiatus T10
Aorta passes through diaphragm where
aortic hiatus T12
arcuate ligaments or lumbocostal ligaments;
1; arches over aorta
2; arch over psoas mm
3; arch over quadratus lumborum mm.
1= 1 median arcuate lig.
arches over aorta
2= 2 medial arcuate ligs.
arch over psoas mm.
3= 2 lateral arcuate ligs.
arch over quadratus lumborum mm.
supply superior surface of diaphragm:
pericardiacophrenic and superior phrenic aa.
branch of internal thoracis aa that supplies superior surface of diaphragm
pericardiacophrenic aa
branch off aorta in thoracic cavity that supplies superior surface of diaphragm
superior phrenic aa
supply inferior surface of diaphragm
inferior phrenic aa (paired)
first paired branches of arteries off the abdominal aorta
paired inferior phrenic aa
supply periphery of diaphragm ( branch off what)
musculophrenic aa branch of internal thoracic a.
venous drainage is same name as artiers that supply diaphragm and dump into
IVC
paired organs but not symmetrically arranged
kidneys
where is superior pole of left kidney found
11th rib
where is superior pole of right kidney found
12th rib, right is a little more inferior
kidney’s are encapsulated by
perirenal fat and renal fascia
kidneys __ from pelvis during development
ascend
if kidneys do not develop correctly and remain in pelvic
ectopic pelvic
when the two kidney’s look like they are connected and get caught below __
horseshoe, IMA
transplanted kidneys are placed where
in lower abdomen
another name of adrenal glands
suprarenal glands because sit right on top of kidneys
enter and exit point of organs
hylum
fat of kidney that is outside renal fascia
paranephric fat
