2. What are the layers that cover the abdomen?

Explanation

The correct order of layers covering the abdomen is crucial for understanding abdominal anatomy and surgical procedures.

Submit
3. Which muscles make up the anterolateral abdominal wall?

Explanation

The anterolateral abdominal wall is primarily composed of the Rectus Abdominis, External Oblique, Internal Oblique, and Transversus Abdominis muscles, not muscles from other areas of the body such as the chest, arm, or thigh.

Submit
4. Which nerves innervate the anterolateral abdominal wall and groin?

Explanation

The correct answer includes the thoraco-abdominal nerves, subcostal nerves, and first lumbar nerves which divide into iliohypogastric and ilio-inguinal nerves, all of which innervate the anterolateral abdominal wall and groin. The femoral, sciatic, and vagus nerves do not specifically innervate the anterolateral abdominal wall and groin.

Submit
5. What lymphatics drain into the axillary lymph nodes (above umbilicus) and superficial inguinal nodes (below umbilicus)?

Explanation

The lymphatics of the anterolateral abdominal wall and groin drain into the axillary lymph nodes and superficial inguinal nodes respectively.

Submit
6. What does NAVEL stand for?

Explanation

The correct answer breaks down each letter of NAVEL to represent body parts or systems within the context of human anatomy.

Submit
7. What is a common venous puncture site?

Explanation

The correct answer refers to the NAVEL technique used for venous puncture, where N stands for the femoral vein in the inguinal triangle, A for the axillary vein, V for the cephalic vein at the antecubital fossa, E for the external jugular vein, and L for the long saphenous vein.

Submit
8. What is a defect in the abdominal wall resulting in a protrusion of abdominal contents?

Explanation

A hernia is a common condition where an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle or connective tissue. It commonly occurs in the abdomen, resulting in a visible bulge.

Submit
9. What is a potential consequence of chronic increased intra abdominal pressure, as a result of cough, constipation, prostate enlargement, or colon cancer?

Explanation

Chronic increased intra abdominal pressure can lead to the development of hernias, where organs or tissues protrude through a weakened area in the abdominal wall.

Submit
10. Which muscle has the origin at the pubic symphysis and pubic crest, insertion at ribs 5,6,7-costal cartilages and xiphoid process, and actions include flexion of trunk and compression/support of abdominal viscera?

Explanation

The Rectus Abdominis is the correct answer because it is the muscle that fits all the given characteristics in the question.

Submit
11. Which muscle is responsible for flexion, lateral flexion, and rotation of the trunk, as well as providing compression and support for abdominal viscera?

Explanation

The external oblique muscle is located on the sides of the abdomen and is responsible for flexion, lateral flexion, and rotation of the trunk. It also provides compression and support for abdominal viscera. The internal oblique, rectus abdominis, and transversus abdominis muscles have different functions and are not responsible for all the actions listed in the question.

Submit
12. Which muscle is responsible for flexion of the trunk, compression and support of abdominal viscera, lateral flexion of the trunk, and rotation of the trunk to the same side?

Explanation

The internal oblique muscle is responsible for various movements and functions related to trunk flexion, lateral flexion, and rotation, as well as providing support and compression to the abdominal viscera.

Submit
13. What muscle is responsible for compression and support of abdominal viscera and runs crosswise?

Explanation

The correct answer, Transversus Abdominis, is the deepest of all abdominal muscles and runs crosswise to provide compression and support of abdominal viscera. The incorrect answers do not accurately describe the functions and structure of the Transversus Abdominis.
