AbdomenThe abdomen of our corpse generally appeared to have been healthy. However, we found sutures in the right inguinal region. Possible causes will be discussed in detail below. As for the rest of the abdomen, we could clearly see all the organs. Although at first we had difficulty finding the celiac trunk, once we found it we understood much better the arterial supply as well as the relationships of the arteries with the liver, stomach, spleen, the pancreas and the duodenum. After removing the mesentery from the small intestine, the superior mesenteric artery and all its branches were clear. After removing the stomach and cleaning around the spleen, it appeared that our corpse's spleen was enlarged. However, with the help of teachers, we came to the conclusion that she was still within normal limits and therefore will not be included in this portfolio as an abnormality. Anomalies and pathology: Inguinal sutures Anatomy of the region: The sutures are found in close relationship with the inguinal ligament. This ligament extends from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle and separates the abdominal wall from the thigh to the lower limb. 4 A few structures pass posteriorly, namely (lateral to medial): • Femoral nerve • Femoral artery • Femoral vein • Femoral canal • Lacunar ligament The inguinal canal lies parallel to the lower half of the inguinal ligament.4 This can be defined like a tunnel that runs from a lateral entrance, the deep inguinal ring, to an exit, the superficial ring, which lies more medial.5 The deep inguinal ring is an opening in the transverse fascia 1 cm at the above the inguinal ligament. halfway between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis. The opening is round...... middle of paper ......m: http://www.gbmc.org/AnatomyandPhysiology.14. Yes AY. Anatomy of the laryngeal nerve [Internet].
