ACCURATE!!
Hesselbacks Triangle - (ANSWER)landmarks;medial rectus abdominas, lateral
inferior epigastric vessels,and Inferior inguinal ligaments-Direct hernias occur
here
Transverse Fascia - (ANSWER)defects in the transverse fascia can cause direct &
indirect hernias
hernia - (ANSWER)rupture
Pantaloon Hernia - (ANSWER)when a direct & indirect hernia are present
Umbilical Hernia - (ANSWER)due to developmental deficiencies congenital
umbilical hernia or weakness in linea alba in area of umbilicus
Inguinal Hernia - (ANSWER)hernia occuring in the groin area, more common in
males
*landmarks inguinal ring, inferior epigastric vessels, and spermatic vessels
,2
McVays Repair - (ANSWER)used to repair femoral hernias(transverse fascia
&conjoined tendon to cooper's lagament(pectenial ligament)
Ligament of Cooper's - (ANSWER)lateral extension of lucuner ligament, surrounds
spermatic cord & testies. Cremaster muscle forms a ring around spermatic cord,
continuation of internal oblique, Genito femoral intervals cremaster muscle &
over middle surface of the thigh
McBurneys Incision - (ANSWER)oblique RLQ incision appendix removal
Gerotas Fascia - (ANSWER)a fibrous capsule that encircles the kidney to aid in
keeping the kidney in the correct anatomical position and to cushion it from injury
kidneys live retroperitoneal with the ureters
nephroblastomas - (ANSWER)Wilm's tumor(commonly found in children)
cause obstruction of the vena cava, hepatic veins or renal veins
open gallbladder
laparoscopic - (ANSWER)dissected anti-grade
dissected retrograde
duodenum, jejunum, and ileum - (ANSWER)make up small intestines
,3
duodenum - (ANSWER)first of small intestines where all food digestion is
complete; associated with Brunner's gland; connects the pylori of the stomach to
the jejunum
jejunum - (ANSWER)absorption of digested foods, vitamins,& electrolytes; thick
wall with larger lumen in diameter and more vascularity compared to ileum;
color; deep red
ileum - (ANSWER)final portion of small intestines,connects to the cecum; absorbs
nutrients the jejunum doesn't ; Meckel's Diverticulum found here color;pale pink
Peyer's patches
Superior Mesenteric Artery
SMA - (ANSWER)blood supply to the distal pancreas,duodenum, cecum, and the
ascending and right transverse colon;
what are some medical conditions that may mimic anorexia?
What is the most common vessel blocked with intestinal ischemia?
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery branches off which artery?
Inferior Mesenteric Artery
IMA - (ANSWER)oirgin: abdominal aorta; Supplies the left half of the transverse
colon, the descending/iliac/and sigmoid colon, and part of the rectum; often
sacrificed during AAA REPAIR, COLONIC ISHEMIA CAN OCCUR
, 4
5 MAJOR ARTERIES THAT SUPPLY THE LARGE INTESTINES - (ANSWER)Iliocolic
artery, right colic artery, middle colic artery, left colic artery, and the superior
rectal artery
layers of the stomach and intestines - (ANSWER)serosa, mucosa, and submucosa
large intestines - (ANSWER)cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending
colon, sigmoid, and rectum; water absorption back into the bloodstream, and
eliminates food wastes ;
ileocecal valve - (ANSWER)regulates discharge of small intestinal contents into
large intestines; permits movement of fecal matter and gas in either direction
which helps prevent obstructions
cecum - (ANSWER)widest and smallest part of the colon; first part of the large
intestines; appendix is attached ;where the distal ilium enters and forms the
ileocecal valve; intraperitoneal covered by mesocecum
appendix - (ANSWER)mass of lymphatic tissue that helps contribute to immunity;
connects to the cecum;possible cause of appendictis in adults-fecal matter
blocking the lumen; appendisitis in youth- hyperplasia of lyphatic follicles in
appendix occludes the lumen
ascending colon - (ANSWER)right side of the abdomen from the cecum up to the
transverse coloncontracts rt. lobe of the liver; secondarily retroperitoneal
