Q

diaphragm: features

A
  • seals inferior thoracic aperture

Q

41
Q

inguinal region: features

A
  • junction btw abdomen and thigh
  • ab wall is weakened -> testes/ ovaries descend from initial high position of post abdominal wall
  • peritoneal outpouching (processus vaginalis) forms protruding through layers of ant abdominal wall
42
Q

inguinal canal: initially, features

A
  • processus vaginalis acquires coverings from
  • transversalis fascia (deepest)
  • musculature of internal oblique
  • aponeurosis of ext oblique (superficial)

becomes tubular structure w multiple layers - basic structure of inguinal canal

A
  • descent of testes into scrotum/ ovaries into pelvic cavity

men:
- descend with assoc. ducts/vessels/nerves which also pass through inguinal canal -> same fascial layers of ab wall

women:
- become assoc. w developing uterus, round lig (remnant of gubernaculum)

44
Q

inguinal canal: concludes

A
  • vaginalis obliterates

- if not, potential weakness and hernia may occur

45
