Question
Answer
The ________ is a 3-5 oblique passageway occuring in the inquinal region of the anterior body wall   show
🗑
How is the inguinal canal formed?   show
🗑
show spermatic cord  
🗑
show Start in upper lumbar region (posterior abdominal wall); covered with a peritoneum (hence retroperitoneal)  
🗑
show ligamentous cord condenses along the posterior abdominal wall; connect the inferior surface of each testis to the bottom of the scrotum; growth of embryo causes it to shorten-->testes pulled inferiorly-->forms processus vaginalis (by peritoneum)  
🗑
The __________ forms immediately anterior to the gubernaculum and precedes the testis as it moves toward the scrotum   show
🗑
show Transversalis fascia, internal oblique muscle, and external oblique muscle; together invest layers through the inquinal canal  
🗑
show deep inguinal ring  
🗑
The opening in the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique becomes the ___   show
🗑
show coverings of the spermatic cord and testes  
🗑
Describe the formation of the two layers of the tunica vaginalis   show
🗑
show It is obliterated shortly after birth leaving only the tunica vaginalis  
🗑
What is the ultimate fate of the gubernaculum? what is its function   show
🗑
show Cryptochidism ("hidden testis" Gr.)  
🗑
show 3; internal spermatic fascia (from trasnversalis fascia), cremasteric muscle and fascia (from internal abdominal oblique), and the external spermatic fascia (external abdominal oblique)  
🗑
show It is the filmy innermost covering of the spermatic cord; forms as the processus vaginalis evaginates the transversalis fascia  
🗑
What is the cremasteric muscle and fascia? What does it do?   show
🗑
show Thin outermost covering of the spermatic cord, formed from the external oblique aponeurosis; attached superior to the crura of the superficial inguinal ring; continous with the fascia of the external abdominal oblique muscle  
🗑
Describe the descent of the ovaries   show
🗑
What is the ultimate fate of the gubernaculum in the female body?   show
🗑
show round ligament of the uterus  
🗑
show deep (internal) ring opening in the transversalis fascia, superficial (external) ring opening in the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle  
🗑
What are the boundaries of the inguinal canal: anterior wall   show
🗑
show transversalis fascia over entire length, conjoint tendon on medial one-third, reflected inguinal ligament of the external abdominal oblique on medial one third  
🗑
show arched fibers of the internal abdominal oblique muscle and trasnversus abdominis muscle  
🗑
show inguinal ligament of the external abdominal oblique, lacunar ligament of the external abdominal oblique  
🗑
show The potrusion of tissue (e.g. internal organ) through an abnormal opening or a weakened anterior abdominal wall (often the inguinal canal)  
🗑
What causes an indirect inguinal hernia?   show
🗑
show Lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels; an internal organ may pass completely through the inguinal canal (i.e. through both deep and superficial inguinal rings) and lie in the scrotum  
🗑
show When internal organ pushes directly through the superficial inguinal ring without transversing the inguinal canal; occurs medial to the inferior epigastric vessels; lies in Hesselbach's triangle  
🗑
show inferiorly by the epigastric artery; laterally by rectus abdominis muscle and inguinal ligament  
🗑
show Conjoined  
🗑
show transversalis, subserous, peritoneum  
🗑
True or false: in a direct inguinal hernia, the contents of the hernia will enter the inguinal canal along side the spermatic cord distal to the origin of the internal spermatic fascia   show
🗑
show internal spermatic; cremasteric  
🗑
Where is the weakness associated with direct inguinal hernia?   show
🗑
Which type of hernia is more common in older men?   show
🗑
What structure divides the scrotum into left and right halves?   show
🗑
show The superficial fascia  
🗑
What muscle is continaed ithin the superficial fascia? What does it do? What innervates it?   show
🗑
show The membranous layer of the superficial fascia of the abdomen (Scarpa's fascia) and the perineum (Colle's fascia)  
🗑
show Scrotal septum  
🗑
What are the thee primary contents of the scrotum?   show
🗑
What are the (5) layers covering the testis?   show
🗑
show It is adherent to the testis and the epididymis  
🗑
show Sinus of the epididymis  
🗑
What is the tunica albuginea   show
🗑
show Formed within the seminiferous tubules; within lobules formed by the septa in the testes  
🗑
show rete testis  
🗑
What structure connects the rete testis to the head of the epididymis?   show
🗑
show A tightly coiled tube which connects the efferent ducts to the vas deferens; forms on the superior and posterolateral surface of the testis  
🗑
What three regions can the epididymis be divided into?   show
🗑
show transports sperm to the ejaculatory duct; sperm enters the vas deferens during ejaculation; travels through the superficial inguinal ring to the deep inguinal ring and into the abdomen  
🗑
Where in the spermatic cord does the vas deferens run through?   show
🗑
show Testicular artery, artery of the ductus deferens, cremasteric artery  
🗑
Describe the origin, area supplied, and path of the testicular artery   show
🗑
Describe the origin, area supplied, and path of the artery of the ductus deferens   show
🗑
show From the inferior epigastric artery; supplies cremasteric muscle and other coverings of the cord  
🗑
* What is the PAMPINIFORM PLEXUS? Where does it drain?   show
🗑
show Ilioinguinal nerve (skin of scrotum/labia major); sympathetic fibers on arteries; sympathetic and parasympathetic via ductus deferens; genitofemoral nerve (cremaster and skin of scrotum/labia)  
🗑
show The lumbar nodes; they pass through the spermatic cord  
🗑
