Posterior Ab wall Flashcards
Psoas Major and Minor origin insertion innervation action?
- O: transverse processes sides of verterbal bodies
- I: tendon to lesser trochanter of femur
- Anterior rami L1-3
- Flexor of hip
Iliacus OIAI?
- Superior 2/3 iliac fossa ala ASIS
- Lesser trochanter
- Femoral nerve L2-4
- Hip flexor
Quadratus lumborum
- Iliolumbar lig and lip of lilac crest
- Medial half of inferior surfacce of 12th rib and tips of lumbar TP
- Anterior T12, L1-4
Psoas Abscess signs and causes?
- Back or flank pain witha fever limp and inguinal mass
- Lower abdomen pain exacerbated by extending the thigh
- Causes:
- disease of organs
- Cancers
- Infections deep to psoas fascia
What is the Medial arcuate ligament?
- Fascial thieckening of the psoas fascia spanning the lumbar body and tip of L1 TP
- Lateral to median arcuate lig
Lateral arcuate ligament?
Fascial thickening of quadratus lumborum running from L1 TP to tip of 12th rib
Median arcuate ligament?
Tendinous arch of the crura of the diaphragm, unites right and left crura
What are the unpaired arteries of the posterior abdominal wall?
- Celiac Trunk T12
- SMA L1
- IMA L3
- Median sacral artery
What are the paired arteries of the post ab wall?
- Subcostal arteries
- Inferior phrenic arteries
- SUprarenal arteries
- Renal arteries L2
- Gonadal arteries L2
- Lumbar arteries
- Deep circumflex iliac arteries
Where does IVC begin, pass, and what are its tributaries?
- Anterior to L5 and to the right
- Passes through caal hiatus of diaphragm
- Paired visceral branches are suprarenal renal and gonadal veins
- Paired parietal branches are inferior phrenic 3&4th lumbar vein and common iliac vein
What two veins connect SVC and IVC?
Ascending lumbar vein and Azygos vein
What does the left gonadal vein do to get its blood into the IVC?
connects to the left renal vein
What passes through the Caval opening and where is it?
At T8, the IVC and right phrenic nerve enter the abdominal cavity
Esophageal hiatus contents?
Esophagus and Anterior and posterior vagal trunks at T10
Aortic Hiatus?
Aorta, thoracic duct, and sometimes the azygos and hemiazygos veins go behind the diaphragm at T12
What are the 3 parts to the diaphragm?
- Muscular portion:
- Sternal part attaching to xiphoid
- Costal attaching to inferior 6 costal cartilages
- Lumbar part attaching to lumbar vert. bodies
- Central tendon
- Crura:
- right crus L1-4 larger and longer some fibers run along the left of the aortic hiatus
- Left crus L1-3 bodies
