Organization of the Abdomen I Flashcards
division of abdomen into 4 regions
horizontal line and vertical line
right and left upper and lower quadrants
division of abdomen into 9 regions
2 horizontal and 2 vertical planes
vertical - two midclavicular
horizontal - subcostal at LV3 and transtubercular plane at LV5
subcostal plane?
at LV3; lowest limit of costal margin
transtubercular plane?
at LV5
different 9 regions of abdomen?
epigastric umbilical pubic hypochondriac r/l inguinal r/l lateral regions r/l
transpyloric plane
LV1
subcostal plane
LV3
transumbilical plane
LV3-LV4
supracristal plane
LV4
transtubercular plane
LV5
interspinous plane
SV1
vertebral level?
can be a disc

-
osseous structures?
lumbar vertebrae 1-5
- above abdomen ribs 7-12
- below abdomen pelvic girdle
above and below provide support
campers fascia
superficial fatty layer
loose CT
scarpas fascia
deeper membranous layer (thin)
-covers muscles of abdomen
- continuous with colles and dartos fascia of perineum
- attaches to iliac crest, fascia lata below inguinal ligament, pubic tubercle
fundiform ligament
specialization of scarpas fascia
muscles of abdomen
(superficial to deep)
external
internal
transversus abdominus muscle
fascia of abdomen?
2 layers superficial
3 layers deep
deep facia of abdomen?
beneath the muscle (superficial to deep)
- transversalis fascia
- extraperitoneal fascia (subserous fascia)
- parietal peritoneum - serous membrane of abdomen
external abdominal oblique attachments
origin - outer surfaces of ribs 5-12
insertion - anterior iliac crest, external abdominal aponeurosis attaches to linea alba from xiphoid process to pubic symphysis
hands in front pockets
external abdominal oblique action
flex vertebral column and pelvis
-compression and support of abdominal viscera
one side acting - lateral flexion of trunk and rotation to opposite side
innervation of external abdominal oblique
intercostal n subcostal n iliohypogastric n (ventral ramus L1)
internal abdominal oblique attachments
origin - thoracolumbar fascia, anterior iliac crest, lateral inguinal ligament
insertion - inferior border of ribs 9-12; via internal abdominal oblique aponeurosis to linea alba from xiphoid process to pubic symphysis
hands in back pockets
internal abdominal oblique action
flexion of vertebral column
compression and support of abdomen viscera
one side acting alone causes lateral flexion of trunk and rotation to same side
internal abdominal oblique innervation
intercostal n
subcostal n
iliohypogastric n
ilioinguinal n
transversus abdominis attachments?
origin - inner surface ribs 7-12, thoracolumbar fascia, anterior iliac crest, lateral inguinal ligament
insertion - aponeurosis of linea alba
transversus abdominis action?
compression and support of abdomen viscera
transversus abdominis innervation?
intercostal n
subcostal n
iliohypogastric n
ilioinguinal n
rectus abdominis attachment?
origin - pubic symphysis and pubic crest
insertion - costal cartilages 5-7; xiphoid process
rectus abdominis action?
flexion of vertebral column
rectus abdominis innervation?
ventral rami T6-T12
intercostal n
subcostal n
tendinous intersections of rectus abdominis
3-4
attachments of rectus abdominis to rectus sheath
pyramidalis
makes linea alba tight
pyramidalis attachments
origin - pubic bone, anterior to rectus abdominis
insertion - linea alba
pyramidalis action
tenses linea alba
pyramidalis innervation
subcostal n
surgery in abdomen?
must be careful with fiber direction of muscles
- muscles should be split parallel to their fiber direction
- each layer will require to be split in different direction
rectus sheath
fascia surrounding rectus abdominis and pyramidalis
-formed from decussation of external and internal abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis aponeurosis
composition changes midway between umbilicus and pubic symphysis (arcuate line)
arcuate line
change in composition of rectus sheath
