Study Notes
Inguinal Canal
- Contents of the inguinal canal do not include structures such as the ilioinguinal nerve in males.
- The deep inguinal ring is oval-shaped, providing an entrance to the canal.
- The superficial inguinal ring is located above the pubic tubercle and is triangular in shape.
- The conjoint tendon functions to reinforce the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, aiding in preventing hernias.
- Both male and female inguinal canals contain the ilioinguinal nerve.
- The inguinal canal runs in an oblique direction from the deep to the superficial ring.
- The inguinal canal measures approximately 4 cm in length.
Abdominal Muscles
- The external abdominal oblique is the largest and most superficial muscle in the lateral and anterior parts of the abdomen.
- The internal oblique muscle inserts onto the lower three ribs.
- The transversus abdominis is the most internal flat muscle of the abdomen.
- The rectus abdominis extends the full length of the abdomen, separated by the linea alba from the opposite side.
- The aponeurotic layer of the abdominal wall comprises the aponeuroses of the external and internal oblique muscles, along with the transversus abdominis, converging to form the linea alba.
- The layer between Camper’s fascia and the rectus sheath is known as Scarpa's fascia.
- The quadratus lumborum muscle fixes rib 12 during inspiration and assists in trunk extension and lateral flexion.
- The iliopsoas muscle, consisting of iliacus and psoas major, flexes the thigh.
Muscles and Innervation
- The quadratus lumborum originates from the iliac crest and iliolumbar ligament, innervated by the ventral rami of spinal nerves T12-L4.
- The iliacus muscle receives innervation from the femoral nerve.
- The psoas major originates from the lumbar vertebrae (sides of bodies and intervertebral discs).
- Both the iliacus and psoas major muscles insert onto the greater trochanter of the femur.
- The quadratus lumborum also inserts onto the lower ribs and the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae.
- Two muscles that originate from the iliac crest include the internal oblique and the transversus abdominis.
- The internal oblique muscle is involved in contralateral rotation of the trunk.
- The transversus abdominis, internal oblique, and external oblique all insert onto the linea alba.
- The iliacus muscle is unique as it is the only abdominal muscle that inserts onto the iliac crest.
