Unit 3 Exam Flashcards
What occurs into the potential space between scarpa’s fascia and deep fascia of the abdomen?
Extravasaion of urine
Can extravasation of urine spread inferiorly into the thigh?
NO, due to the firm adhesion of scarpa’s fascia and the fascia lata
What innervates the external oblique muscle?
Anterior primary rami of the Lower 6 thoracic nerves
What is the origin of the internal oblique muscles?
Lumbar fascia, iliac crest, and lateral two-thirds of inguinal ligament
Transverus abdominis muscle
“Acts as an internal backbone”
Or: lower 6 costal cartilages, lumbar fascia, iliac crest, lateral third of inguinal ligament
In: into línea alba by aponeurosis
Nerve: anterior primary rami of Lower 6 thoracic and first lumbar nerves
Function of the rectus abdominis muscle?
Compresses the abdomen, supports abdominal viscera, anterior flexor of the trunk
Anterior layer of the rectus sheath?
Composed of the aponeurosis of the external and internal oblique muscles
Median umbilical fold?
Extends form the APEX of the bladder and contains the obliterated umbilical artery
Ligamentum Teres?
Lies above the umbilicus and contains the obliterated umbilical vein. Free edge of the falciforme ligament, which is attached to the liver
Blood supply to the anterior abdominal wall?
- Superior epigastric A (from internal thoracic A)
- Inferior epigastric A (from external iliac A)
- Lumbar A (from Abdominal aorta)
- Deep Circumflex iliac A (from external Iliac A)
Inguinal ligament
Formed by the lower edge of the external oblique aponeurosis
Conjoint tendon (Inguinal Falx)?
Formed by the fusion of the aponeurosis of the internal oblique and trans versus abdominis muscles as they insert into the pubic crest and pecten.
Boundaries of the inguinal canal?
Anterior wall - aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle
Posterior wall - conjoint tendon and transversalis fascia
Roof - internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles
Floor - inguinal and lacunar ligaments
Direct inguinal hernia
Passes medial to the inferior epigastric vessels, through the inguinal triangle
25% of inguinal hernias
Indirect inguinal hernias
Passes through the deep inguinal ring, inguinal canal, and superficial ring
75% of inguinal hernias
Ductus deferens
The muscular duct that transports sperm from the epidiymis to the ejaculatory duct
Ilioinguinal Nerve
Runs through the inguinal canal and superficial ring accompanying the spermatic cord BUT IS NOT PART OF IT
Layer of the anterior abdominal wall that is continues with the cremasteric fascia and cremaster muscle?
Internal oblique muscle
Layer of the scrotum that is continuous with the internal oblique muscle?
Cremasteric fascia and cremaster muscle
Two muscles that function in temperature regulation in the scrotum?
Dartos (smooth muscle)
Cremaster (skeletal muscle)
Cryptochidism
Testes are undescended at birth
3% of full term babies
30% of premies
Ascites (FIB)
The accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity
Causes Malnutrition CHF Liver failure Kidney failure Peritonitis
Parietal peritoneum
Very sensitive to pain
Visceral peritoneum
Insensitive to pain
Omental bursa
Irregular shaped space which lies POSTERIOR to the liver, lesser momentum, and stomach
Right paracolic gutter
Longitudinal depression lateral to the ASCENDING colon
R-A
Left paracolic gutter
Longitudinal depression lateral tot he DESCENDING colon (L-D)
What structures pass through the porta hepatis?
Bile duct
Hepatic Artery
Portal Vein
Blood supply for the midgut
Superior mesenteric A
Blood supply for the foregut
Celiac trunk
Blood supply for the hind gut?
Inferior mesenteric Artery
Sympathetic innervation of the Foregut?
Greater splenetic nerves (T5-T9) and Lesser splanchnic nerves (T10-T11)
Sympathetic innervation of the midgut?
Greater splanchnic nerves (T5-T9) and lesser splanchnic (T10-T11)
Sympathetic innervation of the hindgut?
Lumbar splanchnic nerves (L1-L2)
