function of abs
support, protect, maintain pressure by opposing diaphragm, or use to cough/pee if close throat
what is the outermost ab muscle and how are the fibers oriented?
external abdominal oblique, hands in pocket
what is the middle ab muscle and how is it oriented ?
internal abdominal oblique
perpendicular to the external abdominal obliques, sometimes looks radial
what is the innermost ab muscle and how is it oriented?
transversus abdominis
horizontal fibers
has it's own fascia
transversalis fascia
Draw a line to:
an aponeurosis
the inguinal ligament
rectus sheath
arcuate line of douglas
tendinous intersections of RA
linea alba
Draw a line to:
an aponeurosis
the inguinal ligament
rectus sheath
arcuate line of douglas
tendinous intersections of RA
linea alba
where does the inguinal ligament start and end?
from ASIS to pubic tubercle
from ASIS to pubic tubercle
What is the ing. lig formed by?
the free inferior edge of the the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique
What attaches onto the inguinal ligament?
the inner abdominal obliques
the transversus abdominis
What is the rectus sheath? and what is it formed by?
connective tissue sleeve encloses RA and its vasculature
formed aponeuroses of EAO, IAO, TA
What is the Acruate line (of douglas)?
the end of the posterior part of the rectus sheath-now all three layers are anterior to the muscle (no sleeve on the inner side of the rectus muscles
-half way btw umbilicum and pubic symphasis
the end of the posterior part of the rectus sheath-now all three layers are anterior to the muscle (no sleeve on the inner side of the rectus muscles
-half way btw umbilicum and pubic symphasis
What is the rectus abdominis?
the center "six pack" muscle group
has vertical fibers
What are the thoracoabdominal nerves?
anterior parts of the T7-T11 intercostal nerves
anterior parts of the T12 subcostal

*both of these come off of the ventral rami of that spinal nerve
what two abdominal nerves come off of L1?
iliohypogastric (superior branch) and ilioinguinal (inferior branch)
iliohypogastric (superior branch) and ilioinguinal (inferior branch)
What do the somatic and visceral divisions of the ventral rami do for the ant abdomen ?
SOMATIC
GSE(somatic efferent): motor to all muscles of ab wall
GSA(somatic afferent): sensory from all skin and muscles of the ab wall

VISCERAL:
GVE(sympathetic): to skin of the ab wall: sweat, oil, arector pili
where do the thoracoabdominal nerves run in the thoracic wall?
between 2 and 3 of three layers
the internal abdomen oblique and the Transversus abdominis (just like how the intercostals run btw the internal and innermost)
where do the superior epigastric vessels originate? where do they go?
the superior epigastric vessels originate from the internal thoracic vessels
-they descend from thorax to the abdomen
the superior epigastric vessels originate from the internal thoracic vessels
-they descend from thorax to the abdomen
where do the inferior epigastric vessels originate? where do they go?
originate in external iliac vessels and move upward to the abdomen

SEV and IEV anastamose in the rectus sheath
originate in external iliac vessels and move upward to the abdomen

SEV and IEV anastamose in the rectus sheath
label the deep, superficial inguinal rings
label the deep, superficial inguinal rings
note that the inguinal ring is superior to the inguinal ligament
note that the inguinal ring is superior to the inguinal ligament
what does the inguinal ring contain?
males: spermatic cord
females: round ligament of the uterus
how do the indifferent gonads begin?
how do the indifferent gonads begin?
begin embedded in the extraperitoneal fat on the posterior abdominal wall
*connected to the anterior wall far below by the gubernaculum, a string of connective tissue
what becomes of the gubernaculum?
women: gubernaculum attaches the horns of the uterus to the labia majora (ovaries stay in pelvis)

men: the testicular ligament secures the testes to the inferior part of the scrotum (testes follow gubernaculus to descend into the scrotum)
What is the first layer the testes pull with them in their embryonic descent?
parietal peritoneum ( process vaginalis )
what do the testes never bring with them?
the transversus abdominis stays because they pass inferior to its border(very innermost muscle layer is below the path)
The peritoneum connection degenerates leaving what behind?
the tunica vaginalis
show the scrotal/testicular ligament in red. What does it do?
it connects the testes to the scrotum (was the gubernaculum)
it connects the testes to the scrotum (was the gubernaculum)
what happens to the abdominal wall with descent?
what happens to the abdominal wall with descent?
what happens to the abdominal wall with descent?
what is an indirect inguinal hernia?
watch and wait, may need surgery
watch and wait, may need surgery
what are the coverings (s-->deep) of the testes?
what are the coverings (s-->deep) of the testes?
external spermatic fascia (from EAO aponeurosis)
cremaster muscle and fascia (from IAO muscle and fascia)
internal spermatic fascia (from transversalis fascia)

*note there is no TA derivative
