Q

At which point in the abdominal wall is the:

  • Deep inguinal ring

Q

Describe how the external oblique, internal oblique and transvesus abdominis surround the spermatic cord [3]

A

External oblique: : aponeurosis surrounds spermatic cord

Internal oblique: muscle fibres cover spermatic cord

Q

Explain the journey of the testes through the inguinal canal [2]

What is the origin of each of the following? (They’re not in order)

  • external spermatic fascia
  • internal spermatic fascia
  • cremaster muscle
  • tunica vaginalis
A
  1. The testes develop on the **posterior abdominal wall **and descend through the inguinal canal to reach the scrotum, guided by the gubernaculum
  2. As they descend, take venous and arterial supply, nerve supply and lymphatic drainage
  3. The peritoneum sticks to the testes and creates the processus vaginalis
  4. Goes through the transervalis fascia, which becomes the internal spermatic fascia
  5. Takes muscular covering from internal oblique, which becomes the cremaster muscle
  6. The external oblique becomes the external spermatic fascia
  7. The processus vaginalis gets longer and longer until the top pinches off: get sac of peritoneum called tunica vaginalis

Q

How does the round ligament of uterus develop?

A

Ovaries descent also guided by gubernaculum into pelvis.

Q

Name 3 other types of hernias that exist other than inguinal hernias

A

Incisional: Following surgery to the abdomen the scar creates a weakness in the abdominal wall

Umbilical: Usually in babies, when the rectus abdominis is not fully joined in the midline

Femoral: Herniation into the femoral canal (beneath the inguinal ligament so below and lateral to pubic tubercle) most common in females

A

The MRI image below shows parotid adenocarcinoma. Which of the following cranial nerve signs would you expect to see in this patient?

Unilateral facial paralysis
Uvular deviation
Reduced facial sensation
Bitemporal heminaopia

Despite not innervating the Partoid glad the Facial nerve runs through the gland. This relationship is important as swelling or surgery on the parotid gland can compress facial nerve branches

As the food bolus is pushed into the pharynx the epiglottis of the larynx is pulled inferiorly to prevent food being aspirated. Which nerve is responsible for closure of the larynx? Superior laryngeal nerve Recurrent laryngeal nerve Glossopharnygeal nerve Vagus nerve
As the food bolus is pushed into the pharynx the epiglottis of the larynx is pulled inferiorly to prevent food being aspirated. Which nerve is responsible for closure of the larynx? Superior laryngeal nerve **Recurrent laryngeal nerve** Glossopharnygeal nerve Vagus nerve As the recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates all muscles of the larynx (except cricothyroid) it is responsible for the closure during swallowing.

What is a volvulus?
Because of its mobility, the sigmoid colon can rotate around its mesentery. This may correct itself spontaneously, or the rotation may continue until the blood supply to the sigmoid colon is completely shut off. The rotation commonly occurs clockwise and is referred to as a volvulus.
