    The inguinal ligament extends from the ASIS to the ________ ___________.

    Explanation
    The inguinal ligament is a band of fibrous tissue that extends from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. It serves as a landmark for the inguinal canal and plays a crucial role in supporting the structures of the groin region. The pubic tubercle is a bony prominence located on the superior and medial aspect of the pubic bone.

    The deep ring medial boundary is covered by _______ __________ vessel?

    Explanation
    The deep ring medial boundary is covered by the inferior epigastric vessel. The inferior epigastric vessel is a branch of the external iliac artery and runs along the medial aspect of the deep inguinal ring. It provides blood supply to the lower abdominal wall. The deep ring is an opening in the transversalis fascia, and the inferior epigastric vessel covers this opening, acting as a protective barrier.

    The _______ ________ is the entrance to the inguinal canal.

    Explanation
    The deep ring is the entrance to the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is a passage in the lower abdominal wall that allows structures like blood vessels and nerves to pass from the abdomen to the genital area. The deep ring is the starting point of this canal, and it is located in the transversalis fascia, which is a layer of connective tissue in the abdominal wall.

  • 5. 

    The Anterior wall is made of _______ _________ muscle and _________ _______ muscle. (answer with commas)

    Explanation
    The anterior wall of the body is composed of two muscles, the external oblique and the internal oblique. These muscles are located in the front of the abdomen and play a role in flexing and rotating the trunk. The external oblique muscle is the outermost layer, while the internal oblique muscle lies beneath it. Together, these muscles provide support and stability to the abdominal region.

  • 6. 

    The Posterior wall is made up by ____________ fascia and _____________ tendon.

    Explanation
    The posterior wall of the abdomen is formed by the transversalis fascia and the conjoint tendon. The transversalis fascia is a layer of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of the abdominal wall, while the conjoint tendon is a fusion of the transversus abdominis and internal oblique muscles. Together, these structures provide support and strength to the posterior wall of the abdomen.

    The __________ cord runs through the Inguinal canal?

  • 8. 

    In females, the inguinal canal primarily contains the round ______, a remnant of the gubernaculum that helps maintain the position of the uterus.

    Explanation
    The round ligament of the uterus is a fibromuscular cord that originates near the uterine horns and passes through the inguinal canal to insert in the labia majora. It's a vestigial structure, meaning it has lost its original function during evolution. While its exact role is still debated, it's believed to contribute to uterine positioning and stability.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The floor is made up of ________ ligament and ___________ ligament.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "inguinal, lacunar." The floor being referred to here is likely the floor of the inguinal canal, a passage in the lower abdominal wall. The inguinal ligament is a fibrous band that runs from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle, forming part of the floor. The lacunar ligament is a small ligament that attaches to the pubic bone and helps to reinforce the floor of the inguinal canal. Therefore, the floor is made up of the inguinal ligament and the lacunar ligament.
