Q

Psoas major attachment, innervation and functions

A

Attaches to lesser trochanter

Innervated by L2-L4 anterior rami

Functions to:

  • bilaterally flex and externally rotate hips
  • raises trunk from a supine position
  • unilaterally bends trunk to ipsilateral side

Q

Three muscle layers of diaphragm

A

Sternal, coastal and lumbar

17
Q

Ligaments of lumbar diaphragm

A

Median arcuate: midline union of right and left Crura

Medial arcuate: between lumbar bodies and transverse processes.

Lateral arcuate: from T12 transverse process to rib 12

18
Q

Muscles that pass respective diaphragm ligaments

A

Median: none

Medial: psoas major and lumbar sympathetic trunk

Lateral: quadratus lumborum

19
Q

3 passage ways in the diaphragm

A 
Canal opening (around T8) 
- IVC passes here 
Esophageal hiatus (around T10)
- esophagus, gastric vessels and some lymphatics pass here

Aortic hiatus: (between right and left crura)
- aorta passes here

20
Q

Sensory and motor innervation for diaphragm

A

Motor: right and left phrenic (T3-5)

Sensory: intercoastal nerves, phrenic nerve and subcostal nerves
T3-T12

21
Q

Vasculature of diaphragm

A

Thoracic surface: pericadiacophrenic, musculophrenic and superior phrenic arteries/veins

Abdominal surface: inferior right and left phrenic arteries and veins

22
Q

Abdominal aorta positioning

A

Begins at T12 via aorta hiatus

Depends until L4 where it divides into right and left common iliac arteries

23
Q

Unpaired visceral branches of abdominal aorta

A

Celiac trunk, superior mesentery and inferior mesentery.

24
Q

Paired visceral branches of the abdominal aorta

A

Right and left middle suprarenal arteries

Right and left renal arteries

Right and left testicular/ovarian arteries

25
Q

Parietal branches of abdominal aorta

A

Unpaired median sacral artery

right and left inferior phrenic arteries

Right and left lumbar arteries

26
Q

Right and left sympathetic chains join where and become what?

A

Join at the anterior coccyx as the ganglion impar

27
Q

Myenteric (Auerbach) plexus

A

Located within muscularis externa

  • control motility and blood flow within muscularis externa
28
Q

Submucosal (Meissner) Plexus

A

Located within the submucosal layer of the gut.

Secretion, blood flow, micromotility and immune activity within the muscosa

29
Q

Enteric nervous system overview

A

Found in the wall of the GI tract and consists of two plexus (Myenteric and submucosal)

  • operates independently from CNS (no spinal nerves)
  • does receive input from postsynaptic sympathetic fibers and postsynaptic parasympathetics still
30
Q

What is the abdominal policeman of the abdominal cavity?

A

Greater omentum

Will wall off infected portion if a part is infected, preventing spread.

31
Q

Psoas major

A

Origin in the lumbar transverse processes

Insertion in the lesser trochanter of the femur

Bilaterally flexes and external rotates hip
Raises trunk when supine
Unilaterally bends trunk to same side

Innervated by anterior rami of L2-L4

32
Q

Illiacus (iliopsoas)

A

Origin is the illiac crest

Insertion is the lesser trochanter of the femur

Bilaterally hip flexion

Innervated by femoral nerve

33
Q

Quadratics lumborum

A

Origin is rib 12

Insertion is iliac crest

Unilaterally bends trunk to same side

Innervated by T12-L4 anterior rami
