Organization of abdomen Flashcards
What vertebral level is the transpyloric plane
LV1
what vertebral level is the subcostal plane
LV3
what level is the transumbilical plane
LV3/LV4
what vertebral level is the supracristal plane
LV4
what vertebral level is the transtubercular plane
LV5
Interspinous plane
SV1
what are the osseous structures in the anterolateral abdominal wall
LV1-5
Ribs 7-12
pelvic girdle
what are the layers of fascia in abdomen
superficial–>campers
deeper–>scarpas
where does the deep layer of fascia in abdomen attach
iliac crest, fascia lata below inguinal ligament and pubic tubercle
what and where is the transversalis fascia
lines all abdominopelvic cavity, deep to muscle layer
where and what is the subserous fascia
loose fatty CT between transversalis fascia and peritoneum
what is the peritoneum
serous membrane which lines abdominopelvic cavity
What is the origin and insertion of the external abdominal obliques
origin: outer surfaces of ribs 1-5
insertion: anterior iliac crest
what is the action of the external abdominal obliques
flexion of vertebral column and pelvis, compression and support of the viscera
one side causes lateral flexion of trunk and rotation to opposite side
what is the innervation for external abdominal obliques
intercostal, subcostal and iliohypogastric
what is the origin and insertion of the internal abdominal oblique
thoracolumbar fascia, anterior iliac crest and lateral inguinal ligament
insertion: inferior borders of ribs 9-12
what is the action on internal abdominal oblique
flexion of vertebral column and pelvis, compression and support of abdominal viscera
one side acting alone does lateral flexion of trunk and rotation to same side
what is the innervation of the internal abdominal obliques
intercostal, subcostal, iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal
what is the origin and innervation of transversus abdominis
inner ribs 7-12, thoracolumbar fascia, anterior iliac crest and lateral inguinal ligament
insertion: aponeurosis to linea alba
what is the action of transverses abdominins
compression and support of abdominal viscera
what is the innervation of transversus abdominis
intercostal, subcostal, iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal
origin and insertion of rectus abdominis
origin: pubic symphysis and pubic crest
insertion: costal cartilages 5-7 and xiphoid cartilage
what is the action of rectus abdominis
flexion of vertebral column and pelvis
what is the innervation of rectus abdomins
ventral rami T6-T12 (intercostal and subcostal)
what structure is imbedded in rectus abdominis
tendinous intersections
origin and insertion of pyramidalis
pubic bone anterior to rectus abdominis
insertion on the linea alba
what is the action of pyramidalis
tense the linea alba
what innervates pyramidalis
subcostal n
What is clinically important about th emusculature of the anterolateral wall of abdomen
muscle fibers should be split parallel to fiber direction and so each layer has to be split differently
where is the arcuate line
midway between umbilicus and pubic symphysis
describe the rectus sheath above the arcuate line
internal abdominal oblique aponeurosis splits into anterior and posterior laminae
Anterior:composed of external and internal abdominal oblique aponeuroses
Posterior: internal abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis aponeuroses
what is the rectus sheath like below the arcuate line
all 3 muscle aponeuroses pass anterior so the anterior: internal and external abdominal oblique and transversus abdomens aponeuroses
posterior: transversalis fascia
where is the linea alba and what attaches to it
midline from xiphoid process to pubic symphysis
attachment of external, internal and transverses aponeuroses
what is the line semilunaris
lateral, fused border of rectus sheath
What is the median umbilical fold and what runs in it
from apex of the bladder to the umbilicus and the median umbilical ligament (urachus) is found in the fold
how many medial umbilical folds are there
2
what are the medial umbilical folds
run toward umbilicus–> occluded parts of the umbilical aa
what are found within the lateral umbilical folds
inferior epigastric aa
where is the supravesical fossa
between median and medial umbilical folds
