What is an abdominal inguinal ring?
An abdominal ring is either of the two openings in the abdominal muscle wall allowing the inguinal canal to pass through.
What is the appearance of an inguinal hernia?
In the area where the upper leg meets the body. It is called the groin area. The inguinal canal resides at the base of the belly. Both men and woman have an inguinal canal. In men, the testes usually descend through this canal shortly before birth. In women, the canal is the location for the uterine ligament. If you have a hernia in this passage, it results in a protruding bulge that may be painful during movement.
When a hernia occurs in the hesselbach's triangle is it direct?
Yes, an inguinal hernia through Hesselach's triangle (or the inguinal triangle) is a direct inguinal hernia. An indirect inguinal hernia goes through the deep inguinal ring and continues through the inguinal canal.
What is the medical term meaning displacement of the intestines through the inguinal canal?
An inguinal hernia is the medical term meaning displacement of the intestines through the inguinal canal. Other relatively common types of hernias are umbilical, ventral, and incisional hernias.
What structure passes through the inguinal canal?
in males the contents of the inguinal canal are: spermatic cord, illioinguinal nerve, genital branch of genitofemoral nerve. in females: the round ligament of uterus and illioinguinal nerve.
What are the functions of the Inguinal Canal?
The testes each pass through an inguinal canal and into the scrotum on each side of body next to the legs and the spermatic cord runs through it back into the abdomen. In women the round ligament passes through the same region and is associated with uterine support.
The canal used to place scrotum and testes to place just before birth in men?
The inguinal canal is the canal that is used to place scrotum and testes in place before birth in men.
What is difference between mid point of inguinal ligament and mid inguinal point?
The midpoint of the inguinal ligament and the mid-inguinal point are two different anatomical landmarks in the inguinal region. In order to understand the difference, some simple anatomical knowledge must be clarified.The inguinal ligament stretches from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. The pubic symphysis lies just medial to the pubic tubercle and is the fibrous joint between the two halves of the pelvis.Running under the inguinal ligament from medial to lateral are: femoral canal (a potential space that contains mainly lymphatics), femoral vein, femoral artery and femoral nerve.The midpoint of the inguinal ligament is half way between the ASIS and the pubic tubercle and is the location of the femoral nerve. This landmark is used in femoral nerve blocks.The mid-inguinal point is half way between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis and is the location of the femoral artery. This landmark is used in palpation of the femoral pulse.In relation to each other, the mid-inguinal point is more medial than the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.
What is the difference between a hiatal hernia and an inguinal hernia?
None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.
What structures pass through the inguinal canal in a female canine?
The structures which pass through the inguinal canal in the female canine and feline are: # Vaginal Process (wraps around ligament of uterus and fat) # External pudendal artery # External pudendal vein # Genitofemoral nerve. In the male canine / feline, the structures which pass through the inguinal canal are: # Vaginal Tunic # Testis # Spermatic cord # External pudendal artery # External pudendal vein # Genitofemoral nerve.
What opening does the spermatic cord pass through into in the abdominal cavity through an opening in the abdominal wall?
Passes through the inguinal canal
What is the same as the inguinal region?
Inguinal means of, relating to, or situated in the groin area, or abdominal region. The Inguinal ligament connects the superior anterior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle (in the pelvis). On top of this ligament sits the inguinal canal. The abdomen can be split into 9 regions for the purposes of dissection. The bottom right and left sections are called the inguinal region as their inferior border is the inguinal ligament.
