22
Q

three flat muscles of the the anterolateral abdominal wall and what direction do the fibers go?

A

external oblique muscle - hands in pockets
internal oblique muscle - hand on chest
transverse abdominal muscle - runs horizontally

23
Q

two layers of the superficial fascia of the anterior lateral abdominal wall?

A

camper fascia (fatty layer) and scarpa fascia (membranous layer)

24
Q

rectus abdominis

A

flexes and stabilizes trunk

vertical muscles

25
linea alba
separates the rectus abdomens | no nerves or blood vessels here
26
tendinous inscriptions
create the 6-pack | attaches rectus abdominis to the inner surface of the rectus sheath
27
the rectus sheath is formed by
fibers of the aponeuroses of the abdominal wall muscles that interlace
28
where do the aponeurosis fibers pass above the arcuate line?
anterior and posterior to the rectus abdominis
29
where do the aponeurosis fibers pass below the arcuate line?
all 3 pass anterior to the rectus abdominis
30
three parts of the sternum
manubrium - broad/ superior body - longitudinally oriented xiphoid process - inferiorly positioned
31
intercostal spaces are numbered according to the rib
above
32
where do intercostal nerves lie
costal groove, along the inferior margin of the superior rib, pass in the plane between the inner two layers of the muscles
33
three layers of muscle that connect the lower and upper ribs and what direction their fibers go
external intercostal - hands in pocket internal intercostal - hand on chest innermost intercostal - vertical
34
myotome
all muscles innervated by a spinal nerve (motor)
35
dermatome
all skin innervated by a spinal nerve (sensory)
36
attachments of the diaphragm
``` xiphoid process of the sternum costal margin of the thoracic wall ends of ribs 11 and 12 vertebrae of the lumbar region posterior attachment - median arcuate ligament ```
37
what does the diaphragm fill
the inferior thoracic aperture
38
what nerve innervates the diaphragm?
phrenic nerve (C 3,4,5)
39
diaphragm activation
inspiration diaphragm lowers increases volume of the thoracic cavity
40
diaphragm relaxation
expiration diaphragm higher decreases volume of thoracic cavity
41
pump handle/ bucket handle
increases A-P and M-L diameter of thoracic cavity
42
what is the inguinal ligament made of?
under-turned inferior margin of the external oblique aponeurosis
43
the inguinal ligament forms a reticulum of the
hip joint
44
the inguinal ligament extends between
anterior superior iliac spine of the ilium and the pubic tubercle
45
entrance of the inguinal canal is called
deep inguinal ring (proximal opening)
46
exit of the inguinal canal is called
superficial inguinal ring (distal opening)
47
what happens to the inguinal canal with increased intra-abdominal pressure?
posterior wall of the canal pushes against the anterior wall to prevent herniation
48
what is the inguinal (hasselbach's) triangle ?
small area of potential weakness in the abdominal wall that leaves the wall vulnerable to herniation
49
what is the only thing reinforcing the inguinal triangle?
transversals fascia (posteriorly)
50
what borders the inguinal triangle?
rectus abdominis, inguinal canal, and inferior epigastric vessels
51
indirect hernia
intestines enter the canal via the def inguinal ring present at or shortly after birth enters the scrotum
52
direct hernia
intestines pass through hasselbach's triangle, but seldom enter the scrotum acquired (could be to injury)
