Trunk wall II Flashcards
diaphragm: features
- seals inferior thoracic aperture
- post attachment more inferior than ant (coz of angulation of aperture)
- R dome high than L
- muscle fibres arise radially, converge to central tendon
- diaphragm contracts, height of dome decreases, increase volume of thorax
- pericardium attached to middle part of central tendon
diaphragm: list all attachments
- xiphoid
- costal margin of thoracic wall
- rib 11-12 ends
- ligaments across post ab wall
- lumbar vertebra
diaphragm: post attachment
- crura: anchors to anterolateral surface of vertebral column
- L3 (R), L2 (L)
arcuate ligs:
- median arcuate lig (btw crura)
- medial arcuate lig (TP L1)
- lateral arcuate lig (rib 12)
diaphragm: openings
inf vena cava:
- in central tendon
oesophagus:
- muscular part
aorta:
- posteriorly
respiration: general features
- pressure difference btw lungs + atmosphere
inhalation (inspiration): decrease alveolar pressure (increase lung size, contract diaphragm, elevation/outward of ribcage, intercostals)
exhalation (expiration): opposition, increase alveolar pressure
respiration: accessory muscles of inspiration
- sternocleidomastoid
- scalene
- pec minor
respiration: role of abdomen in inspiration
- relaxes
- accomodate expansion of thoracic cavity
- inferior displacement of abdominal viscera during diaphragm contraction
respiration: role of abdomen in expiration
- contracts
- assist in elevating domes of diaphragm
- reduce thoracic volume
Valsalva manoeuvre:
- contraction of ab muscles increase intra-abdominal pressure when diaphragm is in a fixed position
abdominal wall: consists of
- skin
- superficial (subcutaneous) fascia
- muscles
- deep fascia
- extraperitoneal fascia
- parietal fascia
abdominal wall: skeletal elements
- 5 lumbar vertebra + IV discs
- superior parts of pelvis
- inferior parts of thoracic cage
abdominal wall: muscle elements parts
- posterior
- lateral
- anterior
abdominal wall: post muscle elements
- lateral to vertebral column
- quadratus lumborum
- psoas major
- iliacus
abdominal wall: lateral muscle elements
- transverse abdominus
- internal oblique
- external oblique
abdominal wall: anterior muscle elements
rectus abdominus
what continues btw posterior, lateral and anterior parts of ab wall:
- fascia posteriorly
- aponeurosis from muscles in lateral wall
anterior abdominal wall: features
flat muscles, posterolateral -> replaced by aponeurosis towards midline
- external oblique
- internal oblique
- transversus abdominus
vertical muscles near midline -> enclosed in tendinous sheath from aponeurosis of flat muscles
- rectus abdominus
- pyramidalis
external oblique: sup attach
- muscular slips from outer surfaces rib 5-12
external oblique: inf attach
- lateral lip of iliac crest
- aponeurosis ending in linea alba (midline raphe)
external oblique: innervation
anterior rami of lower 6 thoracic spinal nerves (T7-T12)
external oblique: action
- compress abdominal contents
- flex trunk together
- each ipsilateral bend -> turning ant part of abdomen to opposite side
internal oblique: sup attach
- thoracolumbar fascia
- iliac crest
- inguinal lig (lateral 2/3)
internal oblique: inf attach
- lower 3/4 ribs
- aponeurosis ending in linea alba/ pubic line/ pectineal line
internal oblique: innervation
- anterior rami of lower 6 thoracic spinal nerves (T7-T12)
internal oblique: action
compress ab contents
- flex trunk together
- each mm bends trunk to same side, turning ant part of abdomen to same side
transversus abdominis: sup attach
- thoracolumbar fascia
- iliac crest
- inguinal lig (medial 1/3)
- costal cartilage of lower 6 ribs
transversus abdominis: inf attach
aponeurosis ending in linea alba/ pubic crest/ pectineal line
transversus abdominis: innervation
anterior rami of lower 6 thoracic spinal nerves (T7-T12)
