links the two major division

32
Q

iguinal canal

A

ring of ligament with a tube passing through it

33
Q

inguinal canal in males

A

genital nerve and branch and spermatic cord

34
Q

inguinal canal in females

A

round ligament of uterus

35
Q

deeper muscles

A

-rectus abdominus
-pyramindalis

36
Q

rectus abdominus

A

run longitudinally, compresses abdomen and flex vertebral column

37
Q

pyramindalis

A

synergist to muscles pulling on the Linea alba by tensing it

38
Q

external oblique

A

meet at the midline s an aponeurosis

39
Q

aponeurosis

A

sheet of fibrous connective tissue instead of a ligament or tendon

40
Q

linea alba

A

white line though central band of aponeurosis

41
Q

internal oblique

A

deeper than external, in plane with ribs
-individual causes lateral flexion and rotation
-attach to linea alba

42
Q

transverse abdominus

A

muscles deepest, below the place of ribs
-compresses abdomne

43
Q

transverse abdominus

A

muscles deepest, below the place of ribs
-compresses abdomen
-attach linea alba

44
Q

artery supply in abdomen

A

three major arteries
-celiac
-superior mesenteric
-inferior mesenteric

45
Q

celiac

A

foregut

46
Q

superior mesenteric

A

midgut

47
Q

inferior mesentric

A

hindgut

48
Q

venous supply in abdomen

A

largely paired vessels ending at the inferior vena cava
Exceptions- small veins and venules form G.I system

49
Q

venours supply to liver

A

all veins from the gastrointestinal system are routed to the liver first
-collect into the hepatic portal
-allows material absorbed to be screen for toxic compounds and processed

50
Q

connection with limbs

A

features from abdomen extend into lower limbs
-passes through the inguinal aperture under the inguinal ligament
- weak spot in males

lateral pelvic inlet

A

rim of pelvic bones

54
Q

abdomen

A

bordered by inferior thoracic aperture and pelvic inlet
-encloses a single large peritoneal cavity

55
Q

function of abdomen

A

houses and protects major viscera
-digestive system
-spleen
-part of urinary system
Plays an important role in breathing

56
Q

inferior thoracic aperture

A

sealed off by the diaphram

57
Q

arcuate ligament

A

jumps over the aorta and vena cava while anchoring the posterior side of the diaphragm ro vertebral column

58
Q

visceral arterial supply

A

abdominal portion of descending aorta
-forks into left and right common iliac arteries towards limbs
-mesenteric arteries arise directly off the aorta

59
Q

celia trunk

60
Q

superior mesenteric feeds

A

the small intestine
ascending colon
transverse colon

61
Q

inferior mesenteric artery feeeds

A

descending colon and rectum

62
Q

visceral venous return

A

hepatic portal veins
splenic veins
gastic/gastro- omental veins

66
Q

posterior abdominal wall

A

encloses a compartment between peritoneum and back
-holds the kidneys and great vessels

67
Q

posterior abdominal wall skeltal

A

llia
lumbar vertebra
floating ribs

68
Q

what forms posterior wall

A

quandratus laborum and intercostal muscles
-depresses rib XII and lateral rotation of lumbar region

69
Q

what forms lateral wall
