inguinal region

A

between ASIS and pubic tubercle
-often referred to as the groin

two ligaments:

  • lnguinal ligament
  • iliopubic tract - thickening of transversalis fascia
84
Q

myopectineal orifice

area of weakness

location of femoral hernia

85

lateral continuation of lacunar ligament fibers attaching to pectineal line of superior pubic ramus

floor of femoral canal

88
Q

lacunar ligament

A

medial border of femoral canal

89
Q

inguinal canal

A

forms during gonadal descent from abdomen to scrotum (or labia)

area of weakness formed whenever something is pulled through body wall

90
Q

gubernaculum

attaches gonad to anterior body wall

pulled through to form inguinal canal

91
Q
