Posterior Wall Abdomen/Urinary Flashcards
what does the cortex of the adrenal gland secrete
corticoids - mineralo, gluco, gonado
what does the medulla of the adrenal gland secret
epinephrine and norepinephrine
what cells secrete epi and norepi
chromaffin cells
shape of right adrenal gland
pyramidal
shape of left adrenal gland
semilunar
blood supply to the adrenal glands
- superior suprarenal arteries from the inferior phrenic artery
- middle suprarenal artery from the aorta
- inferior suprarenal artery from the renal artery
venous supply to adrenal glands
- right suprarenal vein straight from aorta
2. left suprarenal vein from left renal vein
2 nutcracker phenomenons
- SMA crosses the left renal vein, aorta behind
2. SMA crosses the 3rd part of duod, aorta behind
what blood supply does the IVC recieve?
lower limbs, posterior abdominal wall, kidneys, suprarenal glands NOT GUT OR LIVER
formation of IVC
union of common iliac v at L5
nerves of the lumbar plexus
ventral rami from L1-L4
what do paraoartic nodes drain?
all abdominal structures and receive lower limb vessel drainage
what do preaortic nodes drain?
GI tract
trace lymph flow in abdomen
lower limb vessels and abdominal structures->paraoartic nodes and GI tract->preaortic nodes –> both drain upward into thoracic duct
location of lumbar plexus
under posas major
nerve root of iliohypogastric nerve
L1
nerve root ilioinguinal nerve
L1
nerve root genitofemoral n
L1-L2
nerve root lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
L2-L3
nerve root femoral nerve
L2-L4
nerve root obturator nerve
L2-L4
location iliohypogastric nerve
between transversus abdominus and internal abdominal oblique across quadratus lumborum
location ilioinguinal nerve
IS A BRANCH OF ILIOHYPOGASTRIC between transversus abd and internal ab obliques, travels in inguinal canal through superficial inguinal ring
innvervation of ilioinguinal nerve
- labia majora
- anterior scrotum
- superficial groin area
innervation of genitofemoral n
- testes
- labia majora
- femoral branches supply anterior thigh
