what are some important planes to be aware of in the abomen?
|
1. subcostal - below inferior edge of costal margin
2. transpyloric - halfway tween xiphisternal junction and umbilicus 3. transumbilical 4. transtubercular - most lateral aspect of iliac crest |
|
what are the dermatomes above, at, and below the umbilicus?
|
umbilicus = T10
T7-T9 above umbilicus T11-L1 below umbilicus |
|
where's the inguinal ligament as far as surface anatomy is concerned?
|
ASIS to pubic tubercle
|
|
where's the superficial inguinal ring as far as surface anatomy is concerned?
|
above pubic tubercle just lateral to lateral edge of rectus abdominis
|
|
where's McBurney's point? what's it important for?
|
is 1/3 distance from ASIS to umbilicus on right
this is the site of the appendix |
|
where's the liver in surface anatomy?
|
on right, is with dome of diaphragm
goes through xiphisternal junction past the median plane for a variable distance the inferior border is just under the common costal margin on right |
|
what landmarks did we use to draw the liver on?
|
top of 5th rib in MCL - right
xiphisternal junction bottom of 5th rib in MCL - left transpyloric plane in middle of body on right, lowest point of right costal margin |
|
where's the gall bladder?
|
intersection of linea semilunaries and costal margin
|
|
what's murphy's sign?
|
it's a sign of pain at the gallbladder
sudden arrest of inspiration during deep palpation over site of gallbladder this suggests inflammation of gall bladder = cholecystitis |
|
where's the stomach?
|
pylorus is at transpyloric plane
fundus is under LEFT dome of diaphragm cardiac opening is posterior to LEFT 7th costal cartilage - behind lobe of liver |
|
where's the transverse colon?
|
varies - but somewhere around umbilicus
|
|
where's the right colic flexure? or hepatic flexure?
|
under lateral aspect of right lobe of liver just below TTP
|
|
where's the left or splenic flexure?
|
under spleen just above TTP
|
|
where's the spleen?
|
parallel to posterior ribs 9, 10, 11 behind MAL
|
|
what's important to know about the surface anatomy during pregnancy?
|
around 20 weeks, is at umbilicus
at 36 weeks, uterus top can be found just under xiphisternal junction |
