Peritoneum

Understanding the development and the surgical repair of an inguinal hernia requires understanding the embryology of testicular descent and the formation of the processus vaginalis(Brandt,2008). The processus vaginalis is a fold of the peritoneum proteruded as finger like projection, attached to the testicle that trails behind as it descends from the retroperitoneum into the scrotum(Lakhoo,2009).. Testicular descent involves 2 phases: intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal (Hughes ,2008). During the intra-abdominal phase, the testis originating at the urogenital ridge, is attached to the diaphragm by the craniosuspensory ligament, its regression results in transabdominal migration of the testis between 8 and 15 weeks…

Mesothelioma Discomfort as well as Difficulties Mesothelioma can be a sort of melanoma brought about on account of contact with asbestos. Mesothelioma primarily affects the actual mesothelium the industry protecting coating spanning all body organs from the body. Generally, this generates from the pleura, and that is the actual between your outside part of the voice & the actual torso cavity. Mesothelioma may also attack with or maybe the lining involving belly cavity (peritoneum) or maybe the…

centimeters from the pharynx to the stomach. It passes through the diaphragm, and has two curvatures which allow the esophagus to correspond with the vertebrae. The esophagus then attaches to the stomach at the cardiac orifice. The stomach is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen and measures two to six centimeters thick non-distended on ultrasound. It is divided into three parts: the fundus, the body, and the antrum. The fundus is the largest, most superior portion of the stomach.…

The Coronary Arteries The main branches of the aorta are supply routes to the heart muscle itself. There are two fundamental coronary corridors: the left principle (LM) and right coronary veins (RCA). The left primary coronary supply route separates into two fundamental branches: the left foremost diving (LAD), which keeps running down the front of the heart, and the circumflex course (CX) which keeps running behind the heart. Branches of the LAD are called corner to corner conduits and…

Intussusception is an important cause of acute abdomen in the pediatric emergency department. Children between the age group 6 months to 3 years of age present with recent onset of pain abdomen and vomiting (1). Intussusception was considered adverse prognosis previously with fatal outcomes in the past. Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment has lead to better management in the present time (2). In this article, we review the role of ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of intussusception and its…

increase submucosa helps to secrete enzymes for digestion. it consists of nerver, blood vesselss and lymph that help in regulation of absorption. mucularis helps in peristalsis serosa is the outer most of the gastrointestinal tract. Helps in protection 6. How is the enteric nervous system regulated by the autonomic nervous system? 7. What is a gastrointestinal reflex pathway? GI reflex pathway consists of numerous neurons of the ENS that control the gastrointestinal secretion and mobility…

assess your progress question number 13 chapter 24 The walls and organs of the abdominal cavity are lined with serous membranes. These membranes are very smooth and secrete a serous fluid, which provides a lubricating film between the layers of membranes. The membranes and fluid reduce friction as organs move within the abdomen. The serous membrane that covers the organs is the visceral peritoneum and the one that covers the interior surface of the wall of the abdominal cavity is the parietal…

One of the fatal types of mesothelioma is Peritoneal Mesothelioma in which the cancerous cells attack the lining of the abdomen called Peritoneum. Peritoneum is the thin membrane, which shields various organs of the abdomen and also provides a lubricating fluid to enable the organs to move and work properly. Peritoneal Mesothelioma, which affects this lining, is yet now a relatively rare disease that accounts for about 1/5 of all mesotheliomas. Its only known cause in the U.S. till date is…

in the human body. Pleural mesothelioma develops on the lining of the lungs called the pleura (Asbestos.com). Exposure to asbestos causes fluid to build up between the two layers of the pleura (Asbestos.com). This build up of fluid is called pleural effusion (Asbestos.com). Too much fluid in the pleura can make it difficult to breathe (Asbestos.com). The pleura protects and supports the lungs. It helps the lungs move smoothly as people breathe (Asbestos.com). When pleural effusion occurs, it…

Abstract This paper talks about a clinical case study that describes the condition of a 60 year old man. I have identified that this patient presents symptoms of peritonitis. Peritonitis is the inflammation of the peritoneum and is usually caused by diverticulitis which this patient has, also the patient has a cloudy peritoneal fluid which indicates the sign of a bacterium called Bacteroides fragilis. This bacterium is obligately anaerobic and is typically found in the digestive tract of humans.…
