Term

The right gastric artery is a 

Definition

branch of the common hepatic artery. 

Term
The blood supply f the stomach is derived from what?
Definition

hree branches of the coeliac curvature

  

Common hepatic arteries

o   Splenic

Term

Gastroduodenal artery arises from 

Definition

the hepatic artery. 

Term

Branches of the left gastric artery supply the 

Definition

the lower oesophageal gut by passing up through the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm. 

Term
borders of the abdomen. Superior and inferior
Definition
Diaphram to the pelvic inlet
Term
This is the largest and most superficial of the 3 flat abdominal muscles
Definition
External abdominal oblique
Term
By intercostal nerves T7-11, subcostal nerve (T12), and iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves (L1)
Definition
Internal oblique
Term
where does the aponeuroses of the internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles fuse to form the conjoint tendon.
Definition
In the inguinal region
Term
what can lead to hernias?
Definition
A weakness in the anterior abdominal wall
Term
what is a hernia?
Definition
underlying viscera and fat may protrude anteriorly and cause a bulge or rupture of the anterior muscle layers. invagination of the parietal peritoneum
Term
The most common types of abdominal wall hernias are
Definition
inguinal hernias, umbilical hernias, linea alba hernias (usually occur in the epigastric region), and incisional hernias (occur at the site of a previous surgical scar).
Term
The subcostal line is
Definition
an imaginary horizontal line across the lower margin of the costal cartilages; it crosses the descending duodenum.
Term
The transumbilical plane is
Definition
horizontal line passing through the umbilicus and the L3-4 intervertebral disc.
Term
The transtubercular plane passes through
Definition
the iliac tubercles of the iliac crest and corresponds to the body of the 5th lumbar vertebra.
Term
(median) plane
Definition
xiphoid process to the pubic symphysis
Term
horizontal plane
Definition
transumbilical
Term
Above the arcuate line
Definition
the anterior layer of the rectus sheath comprises the fused aponeuroses of the external and internal abdominal oblique muscles, whereas the posterior layer comprises the fused aponeuroses of the internal abdominal oblique and the transversus abdominis muscles
Term
Below the arcuate line
Definition
the aponeuroses of all 3 muscles fuse to form the anterior layer of the sheath; and the rectus abdominis muscle rests only on the thin transversalis fascia
Term
he inferior epigastric vessels form the lateral umbilical fold and anastomose with
Definition
the superior epigastric vessels, which are continuous with the internal thoracic (mammary) vessels. This arterial vascular anastomosis is important in providing blood to the abdominal wall, because these arteries have connections all along their route with intercostal arteries (in the thorax) and segmental lumbar branches in the abdomen.
Term
the muscular diaphragm draws the central tendon downward and forward during inspiration. This increases the volume of the thoracic cavity and decreases the volume of the
Definition
abdominal cavity

Definition
inferior vena cava (at the level of the T8 vertebra
Term
esophageal hiatus opening for what vessel and at what vertebral level?
Definition
esophagus (at the level of the T10 vertebra
Term
aortic hiatus opening for what vessel and at what vertebral level?
Definition
aorta (in front of the T12 vertebra).
Term
Where the diaphragm passes over the aorta
Definition
it forms an arch called the median arcuate ligamen
Term
the anterolateral abdominal wall is bound superiorly by? inferiorly by?
Definition
cartilages of 7th to 10th ribs and xiphoid process of sternum.
inguinal ligament superior margins of the anterolateral aspects of the pelvic girdle (iliac crest, pubic crests and pubic symphysis.
Term
