3 functions of the abdominal wall
-houses and protects major viscera
-assists in breathing
-intra-abdominal pressure used to aid in urination, defecation, and childbirth and core strength
rectus abdominus blood supply
superior epigastric and inferior epigastric artery
blood supply from heart to superior epigastric
aorta -> subclavian artery -> internal thoracic artery -> superior epigastric artery
blood supply from heart to inferior epigastric
aorta -> common iliac -> external iliac -> inferior epigastric artery
organs protected by the ribs
liver, spleen, stomach, gall bladder
what makes up the pelvic inlet
sacrum, pubic symphysis, bony rim of pelvis
camper’s fascia
superficial fascia, more anterior part, fatty
scarpa’s fascia
posterior part of superficial fascia, membranous
what triangle can you find the internal oblique be found in
lumbar triangle
what nerves makes up the upper ab muscles
subcostal T12
intercostal T7-11
what makes up the lower abdominal innervation
subcostal T12
intercostal T7-11
ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric T12-L1
superficial portion of the inguinal area
external oblique
intermediate portion of the inguinal area
internal oblique
in what region does the rectus pass through?
rectus passes through deep inguinal area
epigastric pain
pain from abdominal region of foregut
umbilical region pain
pain from mid gut
pubic region pain
pain from hindgut
which peritoneum covers the organs directly?
visceral peritoneum
intraperitoneal contents
-Spleen
-Stomach
-Small intestine
-Liver
-Gall bladder
-Cecum (w/ appendix)
-Ovaries (and uterus/uterine tubes)
-Tail of pancreas
-Large intestine (transverse and sigmoid)
intraperitoneal is covered by
peritoneum and contains mesentary
retroperitoneal
no mesentery
difference between mesentery and omentum
-mesentery connects intraperitoneal organ to posterior abdominal wall and is visceral peritoneum
-omentum is double layer of peritoneum and extends from stomach to other organs
what is in the retroperitoneal
-Suprarenal/adrenal glands
-Aorta/IVC
-Duodenum
-Pancreas (except tail)
-Ureters
-Colon (ascending and descending)
-Kidneys
-Esophagus
-rectum
volvulus
intestine can become twisted around adhesion with resulting bowel obstruction
