25
anterior wall of inguinal canal
external oblique muscle aponeurosis
26
posterior wall of inguinal canal
transversalis fascia and conjoint tendon
27
floor of inguinal canal
inguinal ligament and lacunar ligaments
28
roof of inguinal canal
-internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles
29
development of testes
-develop on posterior abdominal wall -gubernaculum attaches to inferior pole of testes and guides the descent into the scrotum -follow path of processes vaginalis and takes the layers of the abdominal wall with it, creating the inguinal canal
30
gubernaculum
fineroud connective tissue that guides the testes into the scrotum
31
processus vaginalis
outpouching of the perotinium through the anterior abdominal musculature
32
ovary development
-develop on posterior abdominal wall -attached to uterus via gubernaculum to prevent descent and are moved into the pelvic cavity
33
gubernaculum in women
-becomes the round ligament of the uterus -passes through the inguinal canal to the labia majora
34
spermatic cord
-bundle of ducts, nerves, and vasculature connecting testes to abdominal cavity -nerves from the sympathetic ad genital branch
35
how is spermatic cord formed
-at deep inguinal ring, passes through inguinal canal, enters scrotum via the superficial inguinal ring and ends in the scrotum at the posterior border of the testes
36
fasicial coverings
layers derived from the anterolateral wall during prenatal descent
37
external spermatic fascia
derived from external oblique aponeurosis
38
cremaster muscle and fascia
derived from internal oblique muscle and dartos muscle
39
dartos muscle
-schurnches pepe -also from internal oblique muscle
40
internal spermatic fascia
derived from transversalis fascia
41
round ligament fasical coverings
similar coverings as the spermatic cord
42
structures of the spermatic cord
-ductus deferens -testicular arteries -pampiniform venous plexus -sympathetic nerve fibers -genital branch of genitofemoral nerve -lymphatic vessels
43
ductus deferens
sperm from epididymis to ejaculatory duct
44
testicular arteries
from aorta
45
pampiniform venous plexus
network that drain into testicular veins
46
in the scrotum, what are testes and epididymis covered by?
visceral layer of tunica vaginalis
47
tunica albuginae
fibrous capsule surrounding testes and projecting inwards forming numerous lobules
48
lobules in testes
contain seminiferous tubules that produce sperm
49
immature sperm leave
the rete testes through the efferent ductules and mature in the epididymis
50
epididymis
has a head, body, neck, and tail
51
peritoneum
the serous membrane lining the cavity of the abdomen and covering the abdominal organs
52
peritoneal cavity
potential space between the parietal and visceral peritoneal layers
53
mesentery
double layer of peritoneum that suspends organs from the body wall and conducts vasculature and nerves
54
posterior mesenteries
greater omentum, mesentery proper, transverse mesocolon
55
anterior mesenteries
lesser omentum, falciform ligament
56
falciform ligament
attaches the liver to the anterior abdominal wall
57
peritoneal ligament
double layer of peritoneum that connects one organ to another (falciform ligament)
58
subperitoneal space
continuous interconnecting space beneath peritoneum
59
grater and lesser sac of the peritoneum are
connected by the omental foramen
60
greater sac
general cavity of the abdomin
61
lesser sac
omental bursa
62
omental foramen names
epiploic foramin or foramen of winslow
63
greater omentum
-from greater curvature of the stomach -extends inferior/anterior to transverse colon/small intestine -ascends back up to connect visceral layer of transverse colon -split into gastrosplenic, gastrophrenic, and gastrocolic ligaments
64
gastrosplenic ligament
attach stomach to spleen
65
gastrophernic ligament
attach stomach to diaphragm
66
gastrocolic
-largest portion of greater omentum -atach stomach to trasnverse colon
67
lesser omentum
-from lesser curvature of stomach and proximal duodenum to liver -subdivided into hepatoduodenual and hepatogastric ligaments
68
hepatoduodenal ligament
-forms boundary of omental foramen -contains portal triad
69
portal triad
-common bile duct -hepatic artery -hepatic portal vein
70
omental foramen
leads into the omental bursa (or lesser sac) from the greater sac
71
greater sac subdivisions via lesser sac
supracolic compartment and infracolic compartment
72
supracolic compartment
stomach liver spleen
73
infracolic compartment
small intestine, ascending colon, descending colon
74
mesentery proper
-small intestine mesentery -suspends jejunum and ileum from posterior abdominal wall
75
trasnverse mesocolon
suspends transverse colon from posterior abdominal wall
76
sigmoid mesocolon
suspends sigmoid colon from posterior abdominal wall
77
endocrine means
hormone production
