- below watershed = superficial inguinal nodes
-
Describe Abdominal Superficial Fascia
- above umbilicus= 1 layer
- below umbilicus = 2 layers
- 1st is Campers (fat)
- below is Scarpas (sutures)
-
Unilateral contraction of Ext/Int Obliques
- External Oblique Uni: rotates trunk to opposite side
- External = extraterrestrial = weird = opposite side
- Internal Oblique Uni: rotates trun to same side
- Internal = Intimate = wants to be on same side
-
Outter to inner layer o Posteriolateral Abdomen
- [skin, superficial fascia]
- external oblique, internal oblique,transverse abdominus (all separated by layers of deep fascia)
- last layer of deep fascia = transversalis fascia
- extraperitoneal fascia (holds organs)
- parietal peritoneum
-
Where is the rectus sheath deficient?
Lower 1/4 of posterior abdomen
-
Umbilical folds of AnteriorAb wall
- median = umbilical
- medial = urachus (canal that drains fetal bladder)
- lateral = inferor epigastric a&v
-
Hasselbach's Triangle (Inguinal)
- Medial border- rectus
- abdominis
- Lateral border & superior
- border- inferior epigastric vein
- Inferior border- inguinal
- ligament
- Note: location of inguinal
- hernias
-
Inguinal Canal (Anatomical)
- passes obliquely through abdominal wall
- superficial ring opens up as triangular space above the pubic tubercle
- inguinal ligament divides:
- medial crura = attaches to pubic symphysis
- lateral crura= attaches to pubic tubercle
- conjoint tendon- between the crura to prevent it from separating
-
Deep vs Superficial Inguinal Ring
Deep- opening in transversalis fascia at the midpoint of the inguinal ligament (contains spermatic cord, round ligament of uterus, and illioinguinal nerve)
Superficial- triangular opening above pubic tubercle (bw crura). opens into external oblique
-
Where are the testes located?
- they lie OUTSIDE the processus vaginalis. the two developed alongside each other. vaginaliss forms from parietal peritoneum, while testes were from the EXTRAperitoneal cavity.
- the processus vaginalis closes off only leaving behind the tunica vaginalis
-
Medial vs Lateral Crura
- medial crura: attaches to pubic symphysis
- lateral crura: attaches to pubic tuburcle
-
Direct vs Indirect Inguinal Hernia
Deep- pass through Hasselbach's traingle (medial to epigastrics)
Indirect- pass lateral to epigastrics (so not in Triangle)...passes THROUGH deep ring and inguinal canal but still contained WITHIN the spermatic cord
-

What does it mean to be a secondary retroperitoneal organ?
An organ that began as intraperitoneal but then became retroperitoneal
[ascending/descending colon, 2 3 4th parts of SI, rectum, head an body of pancreas]
-

- C = Colon (only the ascending and descending parts)
- K = Kidney
- sE = Esophagus
- R = Rectum

-
Chryptorchid
most common site?
- undescended teste
- inguinal canal
-
Ectopic testes due to...
problems with gubernaculum (testes dsescend into inguinal canal but then move interstiatlly elsewhere)
-
Divisions of Greater Sac
- divided in half by transverse colon
- top half = supracolic = stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder
- bottom half = infracolic = small intestine, ascending and descending colon
- note: paracolic gutters allows communication b/w these 2 regions VIA the right lateral paracolic gutter
-
Paracolic gutters
- spaces on the sides of the ascending and descending colon
- L paracolic: can only go up so far because then it is blocked by the spleens phrenicolic ligament
- R paracolic gutter: allows fluid to enter Epiploic foramen/Foramen of Winslow. Omental foramen
-
Greater vs Lesser Omentum
Greater: from greater curvature of stomach and 1st part of duodenum and aprons over the rest of the gut
Lesser: lesser curvature and 1st part of duodenum to liver
-
Hepatorenal Pouch (of Morrison)
Subphrenic space
- separates Liver from Right Kidney
- * continuous w R paracolic cutter
- subphrenic space: ontop of diaphragm
fluid can go from R paracolic --> hepatorenal pouch --> lesser sac --> subphrenic space
-

Nutcracker Syndrome
- SMA is infront of the 3rd part of the duodenum
- Abdominal aorta is behind the 3rd part of the duodenum
- ...hence, the 3rd pt of the duodenum is sandwhiched with these two structures (along with the left renal vein) so an aneurism to any of these structures can constrict the duodenum of LRV like a "nutcracker"
-
appendix position
retrocecal

Celiac trunk gives rise to splenic artery (which supplies pancreatic body and tail)
note: celiac trunk --> common hepatic artery --> gastroduodenal artery --> SPDA
-
Describe Gut Rotation
posterior border (greater curvature) grows more rapidly than anterior border (lesser curvature)

-

when the ventral (smaller) bud is bifid and wraps around the second part of the duodenum forming a constrictive pancreatic ring around it
-
Describe Midgut Development
- Appears as U shaped tube on
- vertical dorsal mesentery
- Omphaloenteric duct connects
- midgut loop to umbilical vesicle through umbilicus
- Superior mesenteric artery
- runs in the middle to the dorsal mesentery to reach the midgut loop
- Artery divides the midgut
- loop into cranial and cuadal limbs
Cecum- caudal limb
- As gut grows and elongates,
- it herniates out into the umbilical cord
- It rotates 90 degrees
- counterclockwise around the axis of the superior mesenteric artery
- Cranial to the right, caudal
- to the left
- As the midgut absorbs
- mesentery, it is pulled back into the peritoneal cavity and continues to
- rotate another 180 degrees (270 degrees total)
- Cranial left, caudal right
- Cecum is subhepatic (b/c no
- ascending colon is developed yet)
- It descends to the right
- iliac fosa as the gut tube grows and forms the ascending colon
- Note: duodenum is BEHIND the
- SMA
- Ascending and descending
- colon become fixed to post abdominal wall as secondarily retroperitoena
-

outpouching of intestines through the umbilical cord
-
Describe the following midgut anomolies
