Definition

xiphoid process /costal margin

pelvis

Term
[image]
Definition

blue- ilium

yellew- pubis

red- ischium

Term
[image]
Definition

red- iliac crest

yellow- Anterior superior iliac spine- ASIS

Blue- pubic tubercles

green- pubic symphysis

 

Term
location of umbillicaus in fit person
Definition
L4
Term
transpyloric plane
Definition
through L1 passes through pylorus of stomach, and othe importnat organs
Term
layers in abdomen from skin in
Definition

camper fascia- fatty layer

scarpa fascia

superficial fascia

external oblique m

intermediate fascia

internal oblique

deep fascia

transverse abdominus

transaversalis fascia

 

 

Term
what keeps infection of the stomach from leg?
Definition
scarpa fascia of abdomen connect to pubis synthesis, iliac crest, and inguinal ligament,  then continues to fasica of leg.  Creats a barrior between leg and abdomen
Term
functions of abdominal muscles-4
Definition

  • maintain posture and control movement of torso
  • protect abdominal organs
  • active durring forced expiration
  • decease volume of abdominal cavity-> increasing pressure for defecation, micturition (urination), and paturition

Term
three main layers of muscle in abdomen
Definition

external oblique and aponeurosis

interal oblique and aponeurosis

transverse abdominus and aponerosis

Term
describe the rectus abdominus
Definition

on either side of abdomen

interupted by tendonous intersections

Term
describe the rectus sheath
Definition

formed by aponeurosises of external and internal obliques, and transverse abdominus

Term

what is the name of the line where the rectus abdominus sheets meet at midline?

 

Definition
linea alba
Term
[image]
Definition

arculate line

superior- aponeurosis  of internal oblique splits to enclose rectus abdominus

inferior- all 3 aponeurosis pass anterior to rectus abdominus, only transversalis fascia

Term
layers of the scrotum superficial to deep
Definition

skin

dartos fascia

dartos muscle

external spermatic fascia

cremaster muscle/ fascia

internal spermatic fascia

tunica vaginalis partietal/visceral

permatic cord, testes, and epididymis

Term
labia major contents
Definition
fat smooth muscle and round ligament of uterus
Term
what is the dermatome at the umbilicus?
Definition
T10
Term
what is the dermatome at the superior part of the abdomen?
Definition
T7- T9
Term
What is the dermatome at the lower part of the abdomen?
Definition
T11- L1
Term
What woudl happen if you lost one nerve to the body wall?
Definition

The nerves innervate a segement of the muscle not the entire muscle, so the muscle would generally work

but the paralyzed portion coudl create a weakened area and lead to a hernia

Term
[image]
Definition

green- superior epigastic 

yellow- posterior intercostal, subcostal

blue- inferior epigastric

pink-superficial epigastric

 

Term
where does superior epigastic branch from?
Definition
internal thoracic arteries
Term
where does the inferior epigastic artery branch from?
Definition

external iliac arteries

also connects with superior epigastic arteries within rectus sheath

Term
anastomose
Definition
connects in veins means that the blood can go wither way if there is a blockage
Term
where does the superficial epigastric artery branch from?
Definition
femoral artery
Term
[image]
Definition

blue- superior epigastric vein

green- inferior epigastric vein

Term
Caval-calval anastomsis
Definition
if blood flowing through IVC is blocked, blood in the inferior epigastric vein can be shunted to superior epigastric then to SVC
Term

what is the portal system?

 

Definition
blood flow through the liver
Term
portal-caval anastomosis
Definition
if blood flow through portal system is blocked blood in the paraumbilical veins can be shunted to superficial epigastric veins.  Veins radiating from umbilicus dialate creating caput medusae
Term
[image]
Definition
portal system
Term
[image]
Definition

Caput Medusae from portal caval anastomosis

aka paraumbilical and superificial eipgastric

Term
where does lymph from superior part of abdomen drain?
Definition
axillary lymph node, in arm pit
Term
where does lymph from inferior abdomen drain?
Definition
superficial inguinal lymph nodes
Term
Where is inguinal ligament?
Definition
between pubic tubercle and  ASIS
Term
What is the inferior part of the external oblique aponeurosis?
Definition
inguinal ligament
Term
where do structures enter inguinal canal
Definition
deep inguinal ring
Term
where is the deep ring located?
Definition
superior to midpoint of inguinal ligament and lateral to inferior epigastic vessels
Term
where do structures leave the the inguinal canal?
Definition
superficial inguinal ring
Term
what si the slit like opening in the oblique aponeurosis
Definition
superficial inguinal ring
Term
what connect the testes to the scrotum durring development?
Definition
gubernaculum
Term
describe how the testes descend
Definition
while developing the testes are connecte to the gubernaculum, and as the fetus grown the gubernaculum doesn't so the testes and associated arteries veins nerves, ductus deferens and lymph are pulled through the inuginal canal to the testes.  As they go through the canal they bring fascial coverign to the scrotum
Term
what did the external spermatic fascia develop from?
Definition
external oblique aponeruosis
Term
what did the cremaster muscle and fascia develop from?
Definition
internal oblique muscle
Term
what does the cremaster muscle do?
Definition
when contracts testes are raised
Term
what is the internal spermatic fascia developed from?
Definition
transversalis fascia
Term
what is the gublernaculum connected to in females
Definition
the ovaries, uterus and the labia major
Term
T/F the ovaries descend
Definition
T- just not as far as males
Term
adult derivitives of gubernaculum in females? (2)
Definition

  1. ovarian ligament between ovaries and uterus
  2. round ligament of the uterus- between uterus and labia major

Term
Indirect hernia
Definition

enter deep inguinal ring lateral to inferior epigastric vessels and traverses inguinal canal may become covered in fascia

may ener scrotum or labia majus

Term
congenital hernia is another term for?
Definition
indirect hernia
Term
Direct ingunal hernia
Definition

from inguinal triangle,

mass pushes through peritoneum and transversalis fascia medial to inferior epigastric vessels

rarely enter scrotum

not covered by fascia

Term
ingunal triangle
Definition

area of weakness bounded by rectus abdominus

inferior epigastric vessels

inguinal ligament

Term
acquired inguinal hernia is another term for?
Definition
direct hernia
Term
ways to tell difference between direct and indirect hernias
Definition

if in scrotum is it covered is fascia?

does it enter medial or lateral to inferior epigastric vessels?
