SUGER: Anatomy Flashcards
What is the aperture in the transversalis fascia called?
Deep Inguinal
Where is the superficial ring located
In the external oblique aponeurosis
What happens to the spermatic cord as it passes through the abdominal walls
It recieves a covering from three layers of the abdominal wall
What does the spermatic cord form in females
Round Ligament
What nerve is found in the inguinal canal
Ilio-Inguinal nerve
What structure of the pelvis does the spermatic cord move medial and anterior to
Pubic Tubercle
What five main structures are found in the testes
Testicular (gonadal) arteries Vas Deferens Pampiniform plexus of veins Nerves Lymphatics of the testes
Describe the venal route from the pampiniform plexus of veins in the testes
They join together to form the testicular vein and then drain into:
Inferior Vena Cava on the right
Left Renal Vein on the left and then onto the inferior vena cava
Role of the vas deferens
Carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
Role of the epididymis
Connects testicles to vas deferens and stores sperm
What are the three coverings of the testes from in to out
Inner: Tunica vaginalis
Middle: Tunica Albuginea
Outer: Tunica Vasculosa
What separates the two testicles
The testicular septum
Are dartos muscles voluntary or involuntary
Involuntary smooth muscle
Where are dartos muscles located
JUST under the superficial skin layer
Where is the cremaster muscle derived from
The internal oblique muscle
Where do the Internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle meet
Their aponeurosis join at the conjoint tendon
What defines a direct hernia
A hernia medial to the inferior epigastric artery
What defines an indirect hernia
A hernia lateral to the inferior epigastric artery
Where does the testicular artery branch off from
Aorta at L2
Where does the cremasteric artery branch from
Inferior epigastric artery
Function of the ilio-inguinal nerve
Supplies skin sensation to the anterior 1/3 of the external genitalia
Function of the genitofemoral nerve
Supplies the cremaster muscle
Function of sympathetic nerves
Supplies vas and testicular pain
What two structures pass through the inguinal canal of females
Round ligament
Ilioinguinal nerve
What is the corpora cavernosum and corpora spongiosum supplied by (arterial supply)
Cavernosum:
Deep arteries of the penis
Spongiosum:
Dorsal artery of penis
Both are branches of the internal PEUDENDAL artery
What is the venous drainage of the penis
Internal peudendal veins
Where is the urethra located
Corpus spongiosum
Are kidneys retro or intraperitoneal
Retroperitoneal
Where do the kidneys extend
From T12 to L3
Where are the adrenal glands located
Above the kidneys
What is contained within the renal fascia
Adrenal Glands
Kidneys
What is the advantage of the renal capsule being fibrous
Prevents the spread of cancer
Role of the renal hilum
Acts as a gateway to the kidney
What lies anterior to the right kidney
Liver, duodenum and coils of the intestines
What lies anterior to the left kidney
Stomach, spleen, pancreas and coils of the intestines
What shape are the adrenal glands
Right: Tetrahedral shaped
Left: Crescent-shaped
Where does the left adrenal gland lie behind
Stomach and pancreas
Where does the right adrenal gland lie behind
Liver and inferior vena cava
How many arteries and veins supply each gland
Three arteries
One vein
What arcuate ligament is unpaired
The median arcuate ligament
What branch of the genitofemoral nerve supplies the cremaster muscle
The genital branch
What does the femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve supply
Skin sensation to upper anterior thighs
Which arcuate ligament arcs over the quadrates lumborum
Lateral Arcuate Ligament
Which arcuate ligament arcs over the posts major muscles
Medial arcuate ligament
Define a polar artery
Some people have two renal arteries to one kidney, one large and one smaller, inferior to the larger - polar artery
Where can the pelvis of the kidney be located
L2-L3
What does the lateral cutaneous nerve supply
skin sensation over the lateral thigh
What part of the lumbar plexus does the iliohypogastric nerve branch off at
T12 and L1
What part of the lumbar plexus does the ilioinguinal nerve branch off at
T12 and L1
