27
Q

The abdominal aorta divides at

A

Divides at the level of L4 vertebrae into right, and left common iliac arteries

28
Q

internal iliac supplies

A

Viscera of the pelvic cavity

29
Q

External iliac passes

A

under the inguinal ligament, and enters anterior compartment of the thigh

Changes name to the femoral artery when crossing under the inguinal ligament

30
Q

Inferior epigastric artery

A

Arises from the external iliac artery before it enters the anterior thigh compartment

It supplies the inferior aspect of the anterior abdominal wall

31
Q

inferior vena cava

A

Largest vein in the body

Returns blood from both lower extremities anterior abdominal wall and abdominal pelvic viscera

32
Q

The inferior vena cava arises from

A

about L5 vertebrae from a union of the common iliac veins

Ascends through the vena cava foramen in the diaphragm, and continues to the heart

33
Q

Diaphragm

A

Musculotendinous partition separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities

Major muscle of respiration

34
Q

The diagram is composed of

A

Central tendon- the shape of a boomerang into which the peripheral muscular portion inserts

Peripheral muscular portion

35
Q

peripheral muscular portion of diaphragm

A

Sternal portion
Costal portion
Lumbar portion

36
Q

Sternal portion of peripheral muscular

A

Fibers arising from xiphoid and inserting into the Central Tendon

37
Q

Costal portion of peripheral muscular

A

Arises from the internal surface of the lower six ribs and costal cartilage and lateral and medial arcuate ligaments

38
Q

Lumbar portion of peripheral muscular

A

arises from the lumbar vertebrae into the form of a right Crus and left Crus
right crus arise from LV 1-3 and their intravertebral discs
left crus arise from LV 1-2 and their intervertebral discs

39
Q

openings in the diaphragm

A

Sternocostal hiatus
Foramen for the inferior vena cava
Esophageal hiatus
aortic hiatus

40
Q

Sternocostal hiatus

A

passage of the superior Epigastric vessels, and some lymphatics

41
Q

Foramen for the inferior vena cava

A

Passage for the inferior vena cava, and right phrenic nerve

42
Q

Esophageal hiatus

A

Passage for the esophagus and vagal trunks

43
Q

Aortic hiatus

A

Passage for the aorta and thoracic ducts

44
Q

sympathetic trunk passes

A

Posterior to the medial arcuate ligament
