Study Notes
Rectus Abdominis
- Originates from the pubic symphysis and pubic crest.
- Inserts at the xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs 5-7.
- Flexes the trunk, compresses internal viscera, supplied by Thoraco-abdominal and subcostal nerves (T7-T12).
External Oblique Muscle
- Inserts into the linea alba, pubic tubercle, and anterior half of the iliac crest.
Peritoneum
- A membranous structure that lines the abdominal cavity, consisting of parietal and visceral layers with various components and functions.
Internal Oblique Muscle
- Supplied by the Thoraco-abdominal nerves (T7-T11) and the subcostal nerve (T12), innervating its function.
Quadratus Lumborum Muscle
- Originates from the iliolumbar ligament and adjacent iliac crest, contributing to trunk stability and lateral flexion.
Abdominal Wall Blood Supply
- Superior part of the abdominal wall is primarily supplied by the superior epigastric artery.
Peritoneal Folds
- The greater omentum attaches to the greater curvature of the stomach and the first part of the duodenum.
Sensory Nerve Supply
- The ilioinguinal nerve supplies the skin, muscles, and parietal peritoneum of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
Psoas Muscle
- Actions include flexion of the trunk, as well as hip flexion and stabilization of the lumbar spine.
Abdominal Cavity Structures
- The peritoneal cavity contains a potential space between the parietal and visceral layers of peritoneum.
Iliacus Muscle Origin
- Originates from the iliac fossa and iliac crest, contributing to hip flexion alongside the psoas muscle.
Rectus Abdominis Nerve Supply
- The rectus abdominis muscle receives its nerve supply from the Thoraco-abdominal nerves (T7-T11) and subcostal nerve (T12).
