Anatomy of the Inguinal region

        Help!  

Question
Answer
The ________ is a 3-5 oblique passageway occuring in the inquinal region of the anterior body wall   show
🗑
show During fetal development the gonads (testes or ovaries) descend from the posterior abdominal wall through the inquinal canal (males-->scrotum; females-->round ligament of the uterus)  
🗑
show spermatic cord  
🗑
Describe the descent of the testes: initial location and position   show
🗑
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  
🗑
The opening by the processus vaginalis in the trasversalis fascia becomes the ___   show
🗑
show superficial inguinal ring  
🗑
In the male the transversalis fascia, the internal oblique muscle and the external oblique muscle contribue layers to form the ________   show
🗑
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.)  
🗑
How many concentric layers of fascia cover the spermatic cord? What are they? Where are they derived from?   show
🗑
show It is the filmy innermost covering of the spermatic cord; forms as the processus vaginalis evaginates the transversalis fascia  
🗑
show middle covering of the spermatic cord which contains loops of cremaster muscle; skeletal muscles that raise the testis (in cold or due to stroking of inner thighs)  
🗑
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
🗑
show Becomes incorporated into the wall of the uterus as the round ligament of the uterus and the ovary  
🗑
The ________ passes through the inguinal canal and continues on to the labia majora   show
🗑
show deep (internal) ring opening in the transversalis fascia, superficial (external) ring opening in the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle  
🗑
show external abdominal oblique over entire length (aponeurosis of); internal abdominal oblique on lateral one-third  
🗑
What are the boundaries of the inguinal canal: posterior wall   show
🗑
What are the boundaries of the inguinal canal: roof   show
🗑
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
🗑
Where are indirect inguinal hernias located? How far can they extend?   show
🗑
What is a direct inguinal hernia and how is it caused?   show
🗑
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
🗑
show Scrotal raphe  
🗑
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  
🗑
show The testis, the epididymis, and the vas deferens or ductus referense (vas deferens)  
🗑
What are the (5) layers covering the testis?   show
🗑
show It is adherent to the testis and the epididymis  
🗑
Laterally, the visceral layer passes between the testis and epididymis to form the _____ of the _______   show
🗑
What is the tunica albuginea   show
🗑
show Formed within the seminiferous tubules; within lobules formed by the septa in the testes  
🗑
The seminiferous tubules join to form the _____ _____   show
🗑
What structure connects the rete testis to the head of the epididymis?   show
🗑
What is the epididymis? Where is it located?   show
🗑
show The body (highly convoluted duct of the epididymis), the tail (continous with the vas deferens), and the head (connects to testes efferent ductules)  
🗑
What is the vas deferens / ductus deferens? Where is it?   show
🗑
Where in the spermatic cord does the vas deferens run through?   show
🗑
What three arteries are carried by the spermatic cord?   show
🗑
show From the front of the aorta; supplies testis and epididymis; runs through inguinal canal  
🗑
show From the vesical artery (artery of the bladder); follows ductus deferens; anastomoses with the testicular A. near testes  
🗑
Describe the origin, area supplied, and path of the cremasteric artery   show
🗑
* What is the PAMPINIFORM PLEXUS? Where does it drain?   show
🗑
What nerves pass through the cord and what do they supply?   show
🗑
show The lumbar nodes; they pass through the spermatic cord  
🗑
