27
Q

WHAT IS A HERNIA

A

PROTRUSION OF TISSUE THROUGH A DEFECT IN HTE WALL IN WHICH IS IT NORMALLY CONTAINED

28
Q

WHAT IS THE PERITONEUM

A

CONSISTS OF TWO CONTINUOUS LAYERS; PARIETAL AND VISCERAL PERITONEUM WHICH LINES THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY AND COVERS THE VISCERA

29
Q

WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT PAIN AND THE ABDOMINAL VISCERA

A

PAIN IS POORLY LOCALISED

REFERS INTO SKIN DERMATOMES

30
Q

WHAT IS AN INTRAPERITONEAL ORGAN

A

ORGANS ENVELOPED BY PERIOTONEUM WHICH COVERS THE ORGAN BOTH ANTERIORLY AND POSTERIORLY

31
Q

WHAT IS A RETROPERITONEAL ORGAN

A

ORGANS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE VISCERAL PERIOTONEUM AND ARE COVERED ONLY BY PARIETAL PERIOTONEUM ANTERIORLY

32
Q

WHAT IS PRIMARILY RETROPERITONEAL

A

STRUCTURES THAT DEVELOPED AND REMAINED OUTSIDE OF THE PERITONEUM

33
Q

WHAT IS SECONDARILY RETROPERITONEAL

A

STRUCTURES THAT DEVELOPED INSIDE THE PERITONEUM BUT THEN EXITED THE MESENTERY

34

51
Q

WHAT ARE HAUSTRATIONS

A

THE LARGE INTESTINE IS COMPRESSED LONGITUDINALLY AS A RESULT OF THE TAENIA COLI GIVING RISE TO REPEATED BULGES
