40
What is the inguinal canal?
oblique passage through the lower part of the anterior abdominal wall
41
What is the clinical significance of inguinal canal?
Herniations Inguinal canal in a cadaver: While dissecting the inguinal canal, you will find the vas deferens coursing laterally to the inferior epigastric vessels. In addition, the hard, cord-like and firm thread felt on palpation is the vas deferens.
42
Which muscle layer does the superficial inguinal ring break?
External oblique * *OpeningsDeep inguinal ring** - at the midpoint of the inguinal ligament * *Superficial inguinal ring - 'V**' shaped defect in the external oblique aponeurosis within the Hasselbach's triangle
43
The deep inguinal ring is an oval shaped opening in which muscle layer?
Transverse fascia
44
What are the anterior wall borders of the inguinal canal?
Anterior - formed by Aponeuroses: internal oblique, external oblique
45
What is the posterior wall border of the inguinal canal?
Posterior - formed by Tendon and transversalis fascia Mnemonic: MALT
46
What is the floor border of the inguinal canal?
Floor - formed by Ligaments: inguinal ligament, lacunar ligament Mnemonic: MALT
47
What is the roof border of the inguinal canal?
Roof - formed by Muscles: internal oblique, transversus abdominis Mnemonic: MALT
48
What are the male contents of the inguinal canal?
Male: spermatic cord and ilioinguinal nerve Illioinguinal nerve Blood and lymphatics
49
What are the female contents of the inguinal canal?
Female: round ligament of the uterus and ilioinguinal nerve (\*ilioinguinal nerve enters the scrotum through superficial ring, but does not travel through the inguinal canal) Illioingual canal Blood and lympathics
50
Name the layers of the spermatic cord
Internal spermatic fascia Cremasteric fascia Cremaster muscle External spermatic fascia 3 arteries: testicular, cremasteric, ductus deferens artery 3 fascial layers: external spermatic, cremasteric, internal spermatic 3 nerves: genital branch of genitofemoral nerve, sympathetic fibers, ilioinguinal nerve

What is the function of psoas minor?
flexes trunk
52
What is the function of psoas major?
hip flexion
53
What is the function of quandratus lumborum?
Extension and lateral flexion of vertebral column
54
What vertebral level does the caval opening occur?
**T8** Diaphragm apertures spinal levels: Aortic hiatus = 12 letters = T12 Oesophagus = 10 letters = T10 Vena cava = 8 letters – T8
55
What vertebral level does the esophogeal opening occur?

56
What vertebral level does the aortic opening occur?
**T12** Diaphragm apertures spinal levels: Aortic hiatus = 12 letters = T12 Oesophagus = 10 letters = T10 Vena cava = 8 letters – T8
57
What vessels merge to form the IVC? What level does this occur?

58
What is the portal vein formed by?
union of the **superior mesenteric** and **splenic veins** = receives nutrient-rich venous blood from the spleen, pancreas, gallbladder and upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract
59
What is a portal system?
A portal system carries blood from one capillary bed to another
60
What is the effect of vagotomised on gastric secretion?
Decreases it
61
What is a vagotomy
Vagotomy A surgical procedure where a portion of the vagus nerve is severed to reduce acid secretion in the stomach. performed to help manage peptic ulcer disease. There are different types of vagotomies that are performed depending on the condition of the patient. The basic types of vagotomy include truncal vagotomy, selective vagotomy and highly selective vagotomy. A truncal vagotomy cuts the trunk of the vagus nerve before it enters the abdomen. Selective vagotomy involves severing between the anterior and posterior nerves of Laterjet and denervating the pylorus. Highly selective vagotomy involves denervation of the fundus and body of the stomach, while preserving the antrum and pylorus.
62
What type of gland is the adrenal gland?
endocrine
63
What levels do the kidneys lie?
T12-L3
64
What layer of the peritoneum is more sensitive to pressure, pain, hear and cold?
Parietal
65
Where does the greater omentum attach?
greater curvature of stomach to transverse colon
66
Where does the lesser omentum attach?
Smaller of the omenta **Attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach** and the **liver** Divided into hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments Forms anterior border of the epiploic foramen
67
What are the heptaoduodenal and hepatogastic ligaments part of?
Lesser omentum Divided into hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments Forms anterior border of the epiploic foramen
68
What is the falciform ligament?
attaches liver to anterior abdominal wall and diaphragm
69
What is the falciform ligament a remnant of?
umbilical vein During embryonic development, the left umbilical vein drains blood into the left portal vein.about two months after birth, the vein degenerates and forms the ligamentum teres hepatis = continues in the inferior border of the falciform ligament
70
What is the transpyloric plane?
A transverse plane lying halfway between the suprasternal notch and the pubic symphysis L1 The superior mesenteric vein terminates at the transpyloric plane (around the lower margin of the L1 vertebra) by merging with the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein.
71
Give examples of structures in the transpyloric plane?
Duodenum Pancreas Kidneys
72
Which costal cartilage is the surface marking of the gallbladder?
A clinical landmark for the **fundus** of the gallbladder is at the level of the **9th costal**, at the intersection of the lateral border of the right rectus abdominis and the costal margin.
73
Does the liver move with respiration?
Yes
