Q

Between which two points does the inguinal ligament stretch?

A

BEtween iliac spine and public tubercle

24
Q

What marks the pelvic inlet?

A

Pectineal line of pelvic bone

25
Q

What is the lacunar ligament?

A

Extension of inguinal ligament to the pectineal line

26
Q

Layers through which developing testes needed to descend. 1 2 3 4 5

A

1) Peritoneum 2) Extraperitoneal fat 3) Transversalis fascia 4) Transversus abdominis 5) Internal, external obliques

27
Q

How do the testes get past the transversalis fascia in development?

A

Deficiency in fascia transversalis through which testes descned is halfway between anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and public tubercle. A finger’s breadth above the inguinal ligament.

28
Q

ASIS

A

Anterior superior iliac spine

29
Q

Where do the testes descend, relative to the inguinal ligament?

A

Descend underneath inguinal ligament

30
Q

How do the testes get past the internal obliques in development?

A

Internal oblique, transversus abdominis form a tunnel at the inguinal ligament. They then arch upwards, around, downwards to join the pubic tubercle.

31
Q

How do the testes get past the internal obliques in development?

A

Internal oblique, transversus abdominis form a tunnel at the inguinal ligament. They then arch upwards, around, downwards to join the pubic tubercle. Testes don’t have to penetrate. Travel through the tunnel, go through triangular deficiency between public tubercle and public crest

32
Q

What forms the fascia surrounding the testes?

A

Each layer the testes pass through in development gives the testes another layer of fascia

33
Q

Layers of fascia around testes 1 2 3

A

1) Internal spermatic fascia 2) Cremasteric fascia 3) External spermatic fascia

34
Q

Where does the internal spermatic fascia come from?

A

Fascia transversalis

35
Q

Where does the cremastic fascia come from?

A

From transversus abdominis and internal oblique

36
Q

Fascia responsible for the contraction of the scrotum

A

Cremastic fascia

37
Q

Where does the external spermatic fascia come from?

A

External oblique

38
Q

Abdominal hernia

A

Unusual protrusion of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall

39
Q

Inguinal hernia

A

Herniation through the inguinal canal

40
Q

*How do the femoral artery and vein pass from the abdomen to the lower limb?

A
41
Q

Superficial ring

A

Medial opening in external oblique aponeurosis (in the inguinal canal)

42
Q

Deep ring

A

Deficiency (“outpouching”) in fascia transversalis (in the inguinal canal)

43
Q

Inguinal canal

A

Slit-like passage extending downwards and medially above and parallel to medial half of inguinal ligament

44
Q

Floor of inguinal canal

A

Inguinal ligament

45
Q

Roof of inguinal canal

A

Arching fibres of internal oblique and transversus abdominus

46
Q

Anterior wall of inguinal canal

A

External oblique aponeurosis, internal oblique muscle(lat)

47
Q

Posterior wall of inguinal canal

A

Transversalis fascia, Conjoined tendon (medially)

48
Q

Indirect inguinal hernia

A

A protrusion through the deep ring into the inguinal canal

49
Q

Superficial ring

A

Medial opening in external oblique aponeurosis (into the inguinal canal)

50
Q

Deep ring

A

Deficiency (“outpouching”) in fascia transversalis (into the inguinal canal)

51
Q

Indirect inguinal hernia

A

A protrusion through the deep ring into the inguinal canal

52
Q

Indirect herniae

A

Herniae that arise from incomplete closure of the processus vaginalis, hence the herniated peritoneal contents extend into the scrotum (or labia)

53
Q

Direct herniae

A

A protrusion forwards into the inguinal canal through an area of weakness in its posterior wall
