Tuesday Lecture 6/2 Flashcards
What is the abdominal cavity bounded by?
- abdominal walls
- diaphragm
- pelvis
The five muscles in the anterolateral abdominal wall
Three Flat Muscles: -External oblique -Internal oblique -transverse abdominis Two vertical muscles: -rectus abdominis -pyramidalis
External oblique origin
- superficial layer
- external surfaces of the 5th and 12th ribs
what is the inguinal ligament?
-the external oblique’s inferior margin is thickened as an undercurving fibrous band that spans between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle
external oblique insertion
linea alba
pubic tubercle
anterior half of iliac crest
external oblique innervation
thoracoabdominal nerves (Anterior rami of T7-T11) and subcostal nerve
external oblique action
compress and support abdominal visera
flex opposite side and rotate trunk
internal oblique origin
- thoracodorsal fasica
- anterior two thirds of iliac crest
- connective tissue deep to inguinal ligament
internal oblique insertion
- inferior borders of 10th-12th ribs
- linea alba
- pubis via conjoint tendon
internal oblique innervation
- thoraco-abdominal nerve (anterior rami of T7-T11)
- Subcostal and fist lumbar nerve
interal oblique action
compress and support abdominal visera
flex and rotate trunk
transversus abdominis origin
- internal surfaces of 7th-12th costal cartilages
- thoracolumbar fasica
- iliac crest
- Connective tissue deep to inguinl ligament
transversus abdominis insertion
- linea alba wth aponerous of internal oblique
- public crest
- pubis vas conjoint tendon
transversus abdominis innervation
- thoraco-abdominal nerve (anterior rami of T7-T11)
- Subcostal and fist lumbar nerve
transversus abdominis action
compresses and supports abdominal viscera
Rectus abdominis origin
public symphysis and public crest
Rectus abdominis insertion
xiphoid procress and 5th-7th costal cartiladges
Rectus abdominis innervation
-Thoraco-abdominal and subcostal nerves
Rectus abdominis action
- Flexes trunk and compresses abdominal viscera
- Stablizes and controls tilt of pelvis
Pyramidalis
- small triangular muscle
- absent in 20% of people
- Arise from the pubic crest
- Attaches along the linea alba
Borders of the superior thoracic aperture
Posterior: T1 vertebrae
Laterally: first pair of ribs and their costal cartilages
Anteriorly: superior border of the manubrium
Thoracic inlet
What runs through the superior thoracic aperture?
Trachea, esophagus, vessels and nerves
inferior thoracic aperture borders
- posteriorly: T12 vertebrae
- posterolaterally: 11th and 12th pairs of ribs
- anteriorlaterally: the joined costal cartiladges of ribs 7-10 (forming the costal margin)
- anteriorly: xiphisternal joint
- thoracic outlet
What is important about the inside of a rib bone?
-its spongy and contains bone marrow which forms blood cells
True ribs
- Vertebrosternal
- 1st-7th ribs
- attach directly to the sternum anteriorly with there own costal cartiladge
False Ribs
- Vertebrochondral
- 8th-10th ribs
- cartilages on their anterior ends join with the cartiladge of the rib just superior to them (so they indirectly connect to the sternum)
Floating Ribs
- Free
- 11th and 12th, sometimes the 10th too
- they do not connect directly or indirectly to the sternum
Parts of a typical rib
- 3rd-9th
- head, neck, tubercle. body
Atypical Rib: 1st
- board and shortest
- scalene tubercle
- articulates only with T1
Atypical Rib: 2nd
- thinner
- has attachments for serratus anterior and posterior scalenes
