Q

Why does midgut volvulus cause necrosis and or ischaemia in the gut?

A

the gut is being twisted off from any blood supply, so the tissue dies

Q

What causes vomiting in midgut volvulus?

A

because the gut has been twisted off, the passage is obstructed
so food coming one way has to go back the way it came

Q

Why is the role of muscles in the anterior abdominal wall important physiologically?

A

they compress the viscera and increase intra abdominal pressure
this is very important in coughing and defaecation
every time these functions occur, the abdominal muscles are tensed

Q

How are the lesser and greater sacs formed?

AAR of organ rotation of all the viscera within the abdomen

Q

How do the greater and lesser sac communicate information between eachother?

A

via the epiploic foramen of Winslow

Q

What is the lesser omentum made up of?

A

projections of the visceral peritoneum extending from the liver down to the stomach

62
Q

What is the greater omentum made up of?

A

63
Q

How many layers of peritoneum is the lesser omentum made up of compared to that of the greater?

A

lesser - 2

greater - 4

Q

What is the superior boundary of the inguinal canal?

A

transversalis fascia, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis

90
Q

What is the inferior boundary of the inguinal canal?

A

the inguinal ligament thickened medially by the lacunar ligament

91
Q

What is the inguinal ligament made up of?

A

a ‘rolled up’ portion of the external oblique aponeurosis

92
Q

What is the length of the lacunar ligament?

A

about 1.25 cm
