6celiac trunk serves
stomach, pancreas, and spleen
7supeior mesenteric artery serves
small intestine, part of large intestine
8inferior mesenteric artery serves

9at the L4 vertebra, the abdominal aorta splits into two
common iliac arteries
10smaller veins drain into the
inferior vena cava
transcends the abdomen, thorax and connects directly to the right atrium
11capillaries of the small and large intestines drain into veins that merge together to form the
hepatic portal vein
12absorbed nutrients pass through the _____ for filtration
liver
things we ingest usually go through blood supply, need to filter before main blood stream
13the liver is drained by the
inferior vena cava
14most anterior abdominal muscles are innervated by
intercostal nerves T7-12
15the lower abdominal muscles are often innervated by
iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves
16most posterior abdominal muscles are innervated by
branches of anterior rami of L nerves or lumbosacral plexus nerves
17midline of tranverse abdominal is called
abdominal aponeurosis
18transverse abdominal muscles are
core stabilizers
used when goal is to make the abdomen/thorax immobile
19thoracolumbar fascia is the origin for both
internal oblique and transverse abdominals
20external oblique originates on the
ribs

30rectus abdominus sits within the
rectus sheath
formed by the aponeurosis of the internal obliques
31iliacs and psoas major both pass
deep to the inguinal ligament and insert on the femur, hip flexors
32thoracolumbar fascia is a critical
structural connection, connects force between trunk and leg
33thoracolumbar fascia is origin of
transverse abdominal, internal oblique, and latissimus dorsi
34thoracolumbar fascia wraps around
quadratus laborum
35abdomen divided into
peritoneal and retroperitoneal cavities
36organs are held into place and anchored to body walls with sheets of connective tissue called
mesenteries
37abdominal organs are in the peritoneal cavity except the
kidnneys (retroperitoneal)

40greater omentum
hangs down from the stomach like a curtain, serparating visceral and parietal peritoneum
41subcutaneous fat does
thermoregulation (keeps us warm)
42visceral fat does
cushioning, energy production, signaling
43visceral fat _______ in some individuals
accumulates in and under the omentum and mesenteries in some individuals
44visceral fat is an ______ organ
endocrine
releases adipokines - hormones that affect our metabolism
45the inguinal canal passes between
the aponeurosis of the external oblique (superior) and inguinal ligament (inferior)
46what passes through the inguinal canal
spermatic cord or round ligament of uterus pass through
47spermatic cord inguinal canals are larger in individuals with testes, so they are
8x more likely to develop hernias
48risk factors for hernia
chronic cough
constipation
49Why are hernias bad?
blockage
could rupture and bacteria gets released which leads to sepsis
50the contents of the GI tract are considered
outside the body

75Image occlusion: name the hidden labels
76Image occlusion: name the hidden labels
77Image occlusion: name the hidden labels
78majority of digestion occurs in the
duodenum
79what aids the duodenum in digestion
bile from gall bladder/liver
pancreatic juice from pancreas
80jejunum and ileum are long with masssively folded internal structures for
surface area
81where does absorption occur?
jejunum and ileum
82absorbed nutrients have 1 of 2 fates
carbohydrates and proteins are broken into small monomers, absorbed into intestinal capillaires -> hepatic portal vein to liver for filtration/processing, also water absorbed into blood
lipids assemble into small droplets due to hydrophobic properties, too large for capillaries, absorbed into lacteals (lymph) head straight to venous return
83large intestine functions
absorbs water and vitamins from the remaining material
compaction of feces
84the appendix is a haven for
bacteria
85bacteria in the appendix ____ the large intenstine after
repopulate
diarrheal disease
86the appendix has some ________ ______ in wall
lymph tissue
87if a lump of feces or swelling of lymph tissue causes blockage in the appendix
the bacteria cannot escape which results in swelling and rupture can result
