Q

What are the two layers of superficial fascia?

A

Superficial fatty = fascia of campers
- continues into scrotum where if forms dartos fascia

dee membranous = fascia of scarpas

  • continues into srotum where it helps to form dartos muscle by tracing it backwords
  • continuous with fascia of perineum (colles fascia)

Why does dartos replace fascia for helping the cremaster?

41
How big is the inguinal canal?
4 cm long directed downwards, forwards, medially (like external oblique) bigger in males than females
42
What are the start and end points of the inquinal canal?
begins at deep inguinal ring | ends at superficial inguinal ring
43
what are the boundaries of the inguinal canal?

44
What are the 3 features of the transversalis fascia?
1 lines the inner surface of transversus abdominis muscle as posterior wall of the canal 2 represented in scrotum as internal spermatic fasia 3 has the eep inguinal ring
45
Describe the deep inguinal ring?
oval opening in the trasversalis fascia lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels spermatic cord in males (or round ligment of uterus) pass through deep inguinal ring
46
What structures pass through the deep inguinal ring?
spermazotc cord in males | round ligament of uterus in females
47
What are the boundaries of the inquinal triangle (Hasselbachs triangle)?
medial: ilnea semilunaris = lateral edge of rectus abdominis lateral: lateral umbilical fold (inferior epigastric vessels) inferiorly: inguinal ligament
48
What is a common site of direct inguinal hernia?
inguinal triangle -area of potential weakness = common site hernia takes path of chord
49
Which way do fibers of transversus abdominis run?
transverse except those that originate from inguinal ligament and are high arching high arching + internal oblique = forms conjoint tendon forms roof of canal NOT represented in scrotum
50
Where do internal oblique fibers run?
most run upward, forward, medially except those that originate from inguinal ligament = low arching fibers forms roof of canal with transverse abdominis
51
What forms the conjoint tendon and where does it go?
arching fibers + transversus abdominis descends behind the superficial inguinal ring to be attqched to pubic crest and pectineal line aids in extra support to the superficial inguinal ring roof of canal
52

anterior, above, posterior
53
What does the internal oblique represent as in the scrotum?
cremaster muscle

67
What is an inguinal hernia?
protrusion of abdominal contents (usually intestine) within a sac of peritoneum into the inguinal region (canal) much more common in males due to larger canal
68
What is an indirect hernia?
passes through deep ring, inguinal canal, and superficial ring (transverses canal) lies lateral to the inferior epigastric artery more common (2/3 hernias// 20 x more common in males) congenital- associated with persistence of processus vaginalis sac = within spermatic cord so commonly passing into the scrotum
69
What is a direct hernia?
acquired MEDIAL to inferior epigastric artery occurs through weakened area of abdominal wall muscles as the hernia pushes its way directly through the posterior wall of the inguinal canal Through inguinal triangle hernial sac = external and parallel to spermatic cord. unusual to reach scrotum
70
Why do surgeons use the inferior epigastric artery?
landmark for hernias ``` lateral = indirect medial = direct ```
71
What are the 2 tunicas of the testes?
tunica vaginalis = comes from perieem | tunica albuginea = white covering testical
72
What are the 5 folds of the parietal peritoneum in the suprapubic region?
median umbilical fold 2 medial umbilical folds 2 lateral umbilical ligaments
73
What is the median umbilical fold?
raised by median umbilical ligament fibrosed urachus extend from apex of the urinary bladder towards the umbilicus
74
What is the medial umblical fold?
raised by medial umbilical ligaments | obliterated umbilical artery
75
what is the lateral umbilical ligament?
raised by inferior epigastric arteries on their way to rectus sheath epigastric artery = landmark
76
What goes through the deep ring during testical descent?
perineu,m and transversalis fascia
77

tunica vaginalis parietal and visceral
78
What does transversalis fasica become?
