Exam 2: Lecture 9 and 10 Flashcards
How is the (Tunica) Dortos Muscle formed?
Campers and Scarpas Fascia continue into the scrotum to form the dortos muscle
What is the purpose of the Dortos muscle?
It acts to regulate the temperature of the testis to promote spermatogenesis
What is the directionality of the fibers of the tranverssus abdominus?
horzitontal
What is the action of the Tranversalis abdominus?
Compresses abdomen
What abdominal structures are found in the RUQ?
liver, gall bladder
What abdominal structures are found in the LUQ?
stomach, spleen (posterior)
How is the femoral artery formed?
common iliac artery branched to external and internal iliac artery at the inguinal ligament where it becomes the femoral artery
What abdominal structures are found in the LLQ?
descending colon, sigmoid colon
Where is the tranumblical l and vertical plane of the abdomen formed?
transumbilical plane is through the umbilicus and intervertebral disc between L3 and L4
Vertical plane is from xiphoid process to pubic symphysis
What abdominal structures are found in the RLQ?
appendix, ascending colon
What does the scrapes fascia become in the perineum?
Continues in anterior perineum as Colles fascia
What does the scrapes fascia become in the thigh?
Continues into the thigh and fuses with fascia lata
What is the rectus abdominus?
Long, flat, vertical muscle
Paired, separated at midline by linea alba
Runs from pubic symphysis to costal margin
What aponeurosis makes up the rectus abdominus?
Enclosed in the rectus sheath (ant and post- continuous with internal oblique aponeurosis)
What is the action of the rectus abdominus?
compress abdomen, flex trunk
What lymphatics drain below the umbilicus?
Superficial below umbilicus drain via superficial inguinal nodes
What lymphatics drain above the umbilicus?
Superficial above umbilicus drain via axillary nodes
What lymphatics drain deep in the umbilicus?
Deep drain via parasternal nodes
What is the action of the cremaster muscle?
Raises and lowers the testes in response to temperature of the body (sperm needs to be three degrees cooler than the body to develop)
What are the accessory digestive organs?
Liver, Gall bladder (biliary tree), Pancreas, (Appendix)
What are the Superficial inferior vasculature?
superficial epigastric artery (medial) and superficial circumflex artery (lateral); Branches of femoral artery
What is the passageway through the abdominal wall?
Passageway through abdominal wall in the inguinal region is called the inguinal canal
What components make up the foregut?
Esophagus to duodenum (until major duodenal papilla), liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen
How is the inguinal ligament formed?
Formed by lower border of external oblique aponeurosis
