the _________ m. continues into the inguinal region via the following:
an aponeurosis, the linea alba, the inguinal ligament, lacunar ligament, pectineal ligament and the superficial inguinal ring |
the external abdominal oblique m.
|
|
Poupart's ligament is another name for
|
the inguinal ligament
|
|
Gimbernal's ligament is another name for
|
the lacunar ligament
|
|
Cooper's ligament is another name for
|
the pectineal ligament
|
|
describe the 3 ligaments of the inguinal region
|
1) inguinal ligament: thickened border of the EAO m. and runs from the ant iliac spine to the pubic tubercule
2) lacunar ligament: originates from the inguinal lig. and runs to the pubic tubercule 3) pectineal lig: runs from pubic tubercule up the pectinate line between the inguinal and lacunar ligaments |
|
T/F
the ligaments of the inguinal region are not strong enough to hold sutures |
FALSE
they are strong enough to hold sutures and often do after hernia surgery |
|
the cremaster m. is associated with what m in the inguinal region?
|
the internal abdominal oblique m.
|
|
what does the cremaster m. do?
|
elevate the scrotum and testes
|
|
how can the reflex of the cremaster m. be tested?
|
stroking the superior and medial part of the thigh in a downward direction.
the normal response in males is a contraction of the cremasteric m. that pulls up the scrotum and testes on the side stroked. |
|
what nerve roots is the cremaster m. dependent on for innervation?
|
root L1 and L2
|
|
what can cause an absence of the cremaster m?
|
upper and lower motor neuron disorders
|
|
in children, what may an over-exaggerated cremaster reflex lead to the misdiagnosis of?
|
an undescended teste
|
|
the arcuate line and deep inguinal ring are continuous with what fascial layer?
|
the transversalis fascia
|
|
the superficial inguinal ring is associated with what muscle, and the deep inguinal ring is associated with what?
|
superf: EAO m
deep: tranversalis fascia |
|
the tendinous intersections, semilunr line, and arcuate line of Douglass are parts of was m?
|
rectus abodminis m
|
|
where is the inguinal canal located?
|
between the sup and deep inguinal rings
|
|
what does the inguinal canal contain?
|
the spermatic cord in males, round lig in females and blood and lymph vessels and the ilioinguinal nerve
|
|
there are 8 components of the spermatic cord.
-4 aa -1 v -nerve fibers -channels to nodes -1 misc |
-ductus deferens,
-artery of the ductus deferens (from vesicular) -testicular a. (from aorta) -cremasteric a. (from inferior epigastric a) -pampiniform plexus of veins -lymphatic channels to lumbar nodes -genital branch of genitofemoral to cremasteric a -viscerl afferent and effertent from T10,11 to epididymus and testis |
|
a ___________ is a dilated varicose pampiniform plexus of veins
|
varicocele
|
|
an undescended testes somewhere along the path of the prenatal descent, usually in the inguinal canal is called
|
cryptorchidism
|
|
what are the boundaries of Hesselbach's Triangle?
|
1) inferior epigastric a.
2) inguinal ligament 3) lateral border of the rectus abdominis m. |
|
which hernia (direct/indirect) goes through the inguinal canal, and which goes through the inginal (Hesselbach's) triangle?
|
direct hernia- through inguinal triangle
indirect hernia- through inguinal canal |
|
what is the difference between an acquired hernia and a congenital hernia
|
acquired: protrudes through an area of weakness
congenital: passes through a persistent canal |
|
abdominal wall & the scrotum:
what does the superficial fascia of the abdominal wall become in the scrotum? |
the Dartos tunic (Colle's fascia)
-gives wrinkled appearance |
|
abdominal wall & the scrotum:
what does the EAO m. of the abdominal wall become in the scrotum? |
the external spermatic fascia
|
|
abdominal wall & the scrotum:
what does the IAO m. of the abdominal wall become in the scrotum? |
the cremasteric layer
|
|
abdominal wall & the scrotum:
what does the transversalis fascia of the abdominal wall become in the scrotum? |
the internal spermatic fascia
|
|
abdominal wall & the scrotum:
what does the peritoneum of the abdominal wall become in the scrotum? |
tunic vaginalis (parietal layer)
|
|
a fluid-filled, persistent process in the tunica vaginalis that is transilluminational is called a
|
hydrocele
|
|
a blood-filled process in the tunica vaginalis that is non-transilluminational is called a
