What is the abdominal wall composed of?
- Cranially:
- Diaphragm
- Dorsal:
- Lumbar vertebrae
- Lumbar muscles
- Laterally and ventrally:
- Abdominal muscles
- Caudal
- Continuous with pelvic cavity
Dorsal abdominal wall
Roof of abdominal cavity, consisting of :
- Skin
- Superficial and deep thoracolumbar faciae
-
Epaxial muscles
- M. iliocostalis
- M. longissimus
- M. multifidus
-
Hypaxial muscles
- M. quadratus lumborum
- m. iliopsoas
- m. psoas minor
- Lumbar vertebrae with processus transversus
- Iliac faciae
Lateral and ventral abdominal wall
Attached:
- Cranially to the ribs and sternum
- Dorsally of lumbar transverse process
- Caudally to the pelvis
Consists of:
- Skin
- Superficial and deep fascia (superficial fascia encloses m. cutaneous trunci)
- Internal layer of fascia = fascia transversus
- Abdominal muscles
Where is peritoneum located
- Serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity
- Forms a large peritoneal sac enclosing cavum peritonei = the peritoneal cavity
- Extends caudally into pelvic cavity
Peritoneum
Male dogs
- Each inguinal canal in the male permits a peritoneal invagination (tunica vaginalis) to reach the scrotum
- The peritoneal cavity is closed
Peritoneum
Female dogs
It is open to the outside by the genital tract (small openings of uterine tube)
Give the openings found in peritoneum
- Hiatus aorticus
- Hiatus esophageus
- Foramen venae cavae
- The pleura and peritoneum form a seal around these openings
Give the subdivisions of peritoneum
- Peritoneum parietale
- Peritoneum viscerale
What does peritoneum parietale cover?
The abdominal wall
What does peritoneum viscerale covers
Organs
Give the subdivisions of peritoneum viscerale, and what do they cover?
- Intraperitoneal:
- Most organs
- Retroperitoneal:
- Kidney, ureter (in the retroperitoneal space)
- Extraperitoneal:
- Ovaries
What is the function of the omenrtum?
- Protect organs
- Filled with lymph vessels
- Fat storage
- Omentalization (covers injuries)
What does the greater and lesser omentum cover?
- Greater:
- Most of the organs
- Lesser:
- Situated cranially, has cranial recess
What is the divisions of the greater omentum?
- Superficial layer:
- Parietal
- Omental bursa / lesser peritoneal cavity (cranial and caudal recess)
- Parietal
- Deep layer:
- Visceral
Omentum minus
What is it a part of?
Ventral mesogastrium
Omentum minus
Where does it pass?
- Passes from:
- Curvatura minor of the stomach
- Cranial part of duodenum
-
Passes to:
- Fascies visceralis of the liver
Omentum minus
Compartmenst
- Vestibulum bursae omentalis
- Vestibule of omental bursae
- Enclosed by lesser omentum, stomach and liver
- Lig. hepatogastricum
- Left
- Lig. hepatoduodenale
- Right
- Contains bile duct
- Recessus cranialis omentalis
Omentum minus
Recessus cranialis omentalis
- The ligaments create the borders (lig. hepatogastricum and lig. hepatoduodenale)
- Contains:
- Processus papillaris of the liver
-
Foramen epiploicum:
- Demonstrate by putting fingers between vena cava caudalis and vena portae
- Connecting greater peritoneal sac and vestibulum bursae omentalis
Omentum majus
What is it an extension of?
Extended fold of dorsal mesogastrium
Omentum majus
Where does it attach?
To curvatura major of the stomach
Omentum majus
Where is paries superficialis found?
Between jejunum and ventral abdominal wall
Enclosing bursa omentalis
Omentum majus
Paries profundus
Dorsal to stomach, contains left lobe of pancreas
Omentum majus
Give the ligaments
-
Lig. gastrolienalis
- Stomach → spleen
-
Lig. Gastrophrenicus
- Stomach → diaphragm
-
Lig. phrenicolienalis
- Diaphragm → spleen
