Quiz 5 Flashcards
What arteries supply the abdominal muscles (wall)
- cranial abdominal artery
- cranial epigastric artery
- caudal epigastric artery
- deep circumflex iliac artery
What nerves supply the ventral and lateral abdominal wall
- cranial iliohypogastric nerve (L1)
- caudal iliohypogastric nerve (L2)
- ilioinguinal nerve (L3)
- lateral cutaneous femoral nerve (L4)
What is the order of the deep vessels of the abdominal wall
abdominal aorta external iliac artery - femoral artery deep femoral artery pudendoepigastric trunk - caudal epigastric artery - external pudendal artery -> caudal superficial epigastric artery (cse)
What does the caudal superficial epigastric artery supply?
- cranial and caudal abdominal
- inguinal mammae and prepuce in male
small dorsal branch of cse supplies
- scrotum in males
- labia in females
Where does the external pudendal artery originate and emerge
originates from pudoendoepigastric trunk
emerges from superficial inguinal ring
What does external pudendal artery give rise to and supply
gives rise to caudal superficial epigastric artey
supplies blood to gracilis muscle
What is the vaginal tunic
double peritoneal fold which encloses the spermatic cord and testis
What makes up the vaginal tunic
- a visceral layer which is adherent to the testis and cord
- a parietal layer which lines the scrotum and the inguinal canal
What is the vaginal process
the diverticulum which encloses the round ligament of the uterus
Where is the vaginal process found
in the free edge of the broad ligament
it passes from caudal pole of the ovary to the inguinal canal
What are the structures passing through the inguinal canal in males
- external pudendal artery and vein
- genitofemoral nerve
- cremaster muscle
- spermatic cord
What are the structures passing through the inguinal canal in females
- external pudendal artery and vein
- genitofemoral nerve
- vaginal process
Where does the genitofemoral nerve arise
ventral branch part of L3 and L4
what does the genitofemoral nerve innervate
the cremaster muscle
part of the prepuce
Where does the cremaster muscle arise and where does it attach
arises from the internal abdominal oblique muscle muscle
attaches to the parietal vaginal tunic near the testis
What is the role of the cremaster muscle
raise and lower the scrotum in order to regulate the temperature of the testis and promote spermatogenesis
What carries the spermatic cord through the inguinal canal
the descent of the testis
What does the spermatic cord contain
- vas deferens
- testicular artery
- testicular vein (pampiniform plexus)
- testicular lymph vessels
- testicular nerve plexus (L3-L5)-ANS
What does the genitofemoral nerve innervate
the pubic area
What is in the vaginal process
peritoneal diverticulum accompanied by round ligament of uterus
What is the falciform ligament
fold of peritoneum that passes from the umbilicus to the diaphragm and also attaches to the liver
what is the round ligament of the liver and where is it found
- fetal remnant of the umbilical vein
- found in the free margin of falciform ligament
what does the median ligament of the bladder contain in the fetus
in the fetus it contains the urachus (stalk of the embryonic allantois)
what is the round ligament of bladder
the remnants of the umbilical arteries in the lateral ligaments of the blasser
