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
hematocele
what is the innervation to the anterior 1/3 of the scrotum?

what is the innervation to the posterior 2/3 of the scrotum?
ant 1/3: ilioinguinal n. L1

post. 2/3: perineal and posterior femoral cutaneous n. S3
define epididymitis
inflammation of the epididymis
define orchitis
inflammation of the testes
what fascia cover the testis and epididymis?
the tunica albuginea (deep) and
the tunica vaginalis (superficial)
what 2 tissue layers make up the penis?
corpus cavernosa penis and corpus spongiosum penis
which tissue is erectile tissue?
corpus cavernosa penis
what does the corpus spongiosum penis contain?
the penile urethra and it ends in the glans penis,
describes these areas of the vagina:
clitoris, urethra, vagina, labium minora, labium majora, mons pubis
self explanatory
what are the orientation of the vessels and nerves in the penis dorsally?

median, medial, and lateral?
median: deep dorsal v (1)
medial: deep dorsal a. (2)
deep dorsal n. (2)
