21
Q

3 Regions of the Diaphragm:

A
  1. Sternal Part - Xiphoid process
  2. Costal Part - Internal Surface of 7th-12th ribs
  3. Lumbar part- Medial Arcuate Ligament & Lateral Arcuate Ligament
22
Q

Median Arcuate Ligament:

A

connects crura @ midline, arches anterior to the AORTA, completes the aortic hiatus

23
Q

Medial Arcute Ligaments (right & left):

A

arch from crus to transverse process of L1, arch anterior to the psoas major muscle

24
Q

Lateral arcuate ligament:

A

tendinous arch from transverse process of L1 to 12th rib, arches anterior to quadratus Lumborum muscle

25
Q

Aortic haitus (major opening):

A

Located @: At T12, posterior to median arcuate ligament

Structures passing through: Aorta, Thoracic Duct, and sometimes azygos v.

26
Q

Esophageal hiatus:

A

located @: AT T10, within right crus

Structures passing through: Esophagus, vagal trunks, esophageal vessels

27
Q

Caval opening:

A

Located @: At T8, in central tendon (Rt)

Structures passing through: IVC, right phrenic nerve

28
Q

Motor (efferent) innervation of the Diaphragm

A

Phrenic n (C3-5) solely

29
Q

Sensory (afferent) innervation of the Diaphragm

from fascia lining the diaphragm

A
  • Centrally: phrenic nerve
  • Periphery: Intercostal nn 7 – 11 and subcostal
    (T12)
30
Q

Blood supply of the Diaphragm superior surface

A
  • Musculophrenic and pericardiophrenic aa from Internal thoracic
  • Superior phrenic from Thoracic aorta
31
Q

Blood supply of the Diaphragm inferior surface

A

Inferior phrenic aa from
Abdominal Aorta

32
Q

Refer to Slide 18 for innervation of the posterior abdominal wall

A
33
Q

Arteries of the Posterior Abdominal Wall

A

ABDOMINAL AORTA
* Begins at T12 (aortic hiatus)
* Ends at L4, bifurcating into two common iliac aa.

34
Q

Branches of PAW: branches of abdominal aorta

A

Branches of Abdominal Aorta
* Parietal branches
* Inferior phrenic aa (right & left) at T12
* Lumbar aa (4 pairs)
* Median sacral a. (single artery) at L4
* Paired visceral branches
* Middle suprarenal aa.(adrenal) at L1
* Renal aa(L1/2)
* Gonadal aa(L2)
* Unpaired visceral branches
* Celiac a. at L1
* SMA at L1
* Inferior mesenteric a. at L3

35
Q

Nerves of posterior abdominal wall

A

Lumbar plexus:
contribution from ventral rami of
L1 – L4 –> 50% receive contribution from T12

36
Q

Branches of Lumbar Plexus

A
  • Iliohypogastric (L1)
  • Ilioinguinal (L1)
  • Genitofemoral (L1-2)
  • Lateral cutaneous nerve of the
    thigh (L2,3)
  • Femoral nerve (L2-4)
  • Obturator nerve (L2-4)
