Where does the duodenum run?
In c-shape from pyloric valve to jejunum
What is the first part of the duodenum and what does is receive?
Dudoenal cap, fluids from stomach
What are the features of the second part of the duodenum?
Recieves secretions from the main pancreatic duct and bile duct opening at the hepatoduodenal ampulla of Vater
Which vessles does the third part of the duodenum cross?
Superior mesenteric vessels as it crosses the mesentery
What is the arterial supply of the duodenum?
Gastroduodenal (from hepatic) and superior mesenteric arteries
Where does lymph from the duodenum go?
pre-aortic nodes at T12 L1
What is the inguinal canal?
Oblique passage through anterior abdominal wall for structures to pass from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum/labia majora
Where does the inguinal canal begin and end?
Deep inguinal ring (defect in transversalis fascia) to superficial inguinal ring (defect in aponeurosis of external oblique)
What are the boundaries of the inguinal canal?
Anterior wall is external oblique, lateral is internal oblique, roof is internal oblique and transversus abdominis, floor is inguinal ligament, posterior wall is transversalis fascia and conjoint tendon
What is the contents of the inguinal canal?
Spermatic cord (male) or round ligament (female) and ilioinguinal nerve
Where does the abdominal aorta branch to give rise to the renal arteries?
L1
Where does the abdominal aorta branch to give rise to the gonadal arteries?
L2
Where does the abdominal aorta branch to give rise to the inferior phrenic artery?
T12
Where does the abdominal aorta branch to give rise to the lumbar arteries?
L1-L5
Where does quadratus lumborum muscle attach?
Iliac crest and 12th rib, L1-L4 transverse processes
Which nerves supply quadratus lumborum?
T12-L4 anterior rami for motor innervation
What is the action of quadratus lumborum?
Unilateral - bends trunk to same side
Bilateral - assists in forced expiration and supports 12th rib
What is the lesser omentum?
double layer of peritoneum passing between liver and lesser curvature of stomach
What are the other names for the lesser omentum?
hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments
What is contained in the free edge of the lesser omentum?
hepatic artery, bile duct and portal vein
What is the sympathetic chain?
System of interconnected ganglia on either side of vertebral column
Where does the sympathetic chain run?
From cervical ganglia in the neck through the thorax and abdomen to the ganglion impar on the surface of the sacrum/coccyx
What does the sympathetic chain do?
Acts as a pathway for sympathetic fibres from spinal cord (via white rami communicans at T1-L1/2) to pass into the spinal nerves and body viscera via grey rami communicans
What type of joint is the manubriosternal?
secondary cartilaginous
