    Study Notes

    Abdominal and Pelvic Cavities

    • The peritoneum separates the abdominal cavity from the pelvic cavity.
    • The inguinal ligament separates the anterior abdominal wall from the lower limb.

    Anatomical Landmarks

    • The iliac crest divides the posterolateral abdominal wall from the gluteal region.
    • The abdominal quadrant system is used to describe the location of abdominal organs and related pain.

    Abdominal Wall Muscles and Structures

    • The conjoint tendon is formed by the fusion of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles.
    • The rectus sheath is formed by the aponeuroses of the abdominal wall muscles.
    • The external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis insert into the linea alba.

    Innervation and Vascular Supply

    • Nerve supply to the abdominal wall includes the lower intercostal nerves (T7-T11) and the subcostal nerve (T12).
    • The superior part of the abdominal wall receives arterial supply from the inferior epigastric artery and the lower intercostal arteries.

    Lymphatic Drainage

    • Superficial lymphatics above the umbilicus drain to the axillary lymph nodes.
    • Superficial lymphatics below the umbilicus drain to the inguinal lymph nodes.
    • Deep upper lymphatics drain to the parasternal lymph nodes.
    • Deep lymphatics below the umbilicus also drain to inguinal lymph nodes.

    Muscle Functions and Insertions

    • The rectus abdominis muscle is characterized by tendinous intersections dividing its fibers.
    • The abdominal wall muscles assist in trunk movement, breathing, defecation, and support.
    • The external abdominal oblique muscle originates from the lower eight ribs (ribs 5-12).

    Planes and Quadrants

    • A plane that traverses the umbilicus and the intervertebral disc between L3 and L4 is known as the transumbilical plane.
    • A plane that bisects the pylorus of the stomach is located at L1/L2, midway between the jugular notch and the pubic symphysis.

    Fascia and Structural Support

    • The transversalis fascia lies deep to the transversus abdominis and is reinforced by extraperitoneal fascia, which is anterior to it.
    • Camper's fascia forms dartos fascia when it transitions into the scrotum in males.
    • Colles' fascia is an extension of the superficial fascia and helps in structural support.

    Clinical Considerations

    • In portal hypertension, increased pressure leads to collateral circulation developing due to blocked blood flow through the liver.
    • The processus vaginalis, created during embryonic development, is closed in males but maintains two openings in females where the uterine tubes originate.
