Posterior Abdominal Wall Flashcards
posterior abdominal wall is formed by which bones
Lumbar vertebrae
sacrum
wings of the ileum
ribs
posterior abdominal wall is formed by which muscles
Diaphragm
Iliacus
psoas major
Quadratus lumborum
Pelvic girdle is made up of what
two os coxae
each os coxae articulates with
The other at the pubic synthesis anteriorly,
with the sacrum posteriorly
with the femur inferiorly
Psoas major
o- transverse processes bodies intravertebral disc of T12 to L5
i- lesser trochanter with iliacus
n- financial primary rami of L2 to L4
a- flexion of the thigh, lateral flexion and flexion of the trunk
psoas minor
o- bodies of vertebra T12 and L2 and the disc in between
i- pubic bone
n- ventral primary ramus L1
a- flexion of the pelvis and vertebral column
illiacus
o- iliac fossa
i- lesser trochanter with psoas major
n- femoral nerve
a- flexion of thigh
Quadratus lumborum
o- iliac crest iliolumbar ligament, transverse processes of lower lumbar vertebrae
i- rib 12, transverse process of upper lumbar vertebrae
n- subcostal and upper lumbar ventral primary rami
a- flexion of trunk latterly, extend vertebral column, elevate hip, stabilize 12th rib against inspiration
lumbar plexus
L 1 2 3 and part of L4
sacral plexus
L4 to S4
Illiohypogastric nerve root
L1
Ilioinguinal nerve root
L1
Genitofemoral nerve Root
L1, L2
lateral femoral, cutaneous nerve root
L2, L3
femoral nerve root
L2, L3, L4
Obturator nerve root
L2, L3, L4
Lumbosacral trunk
Part of the ventral primary ramus of L4 joins ventral primary ramus of L5 to form the lumbosacral trunk,
which joins S1 to 4 to form the sacral plexus
