inguinal ligament with lacunar ligament forms floor, before the canal pierces through layer of fascia, what lies anterior is also superior border (eg external oblique forms much of superior border)

61
Q

development of inguinal canal in males

A

developing testes are located extraperitoneally in superior lumbar region of posterior abdomen, testes are connected gubernaculum, processus vaginalis transverses the developing inguinal canal to reach developing scrotum carrying with it layers of muscle and fascia from abdominal wall (forming spermatic cord), testes then migrate inferioly in body cavity into inguinal canal then scrotum (day 28) following posterior to processus vaginalis

62
Q

gubernaculum

A

fibrous tract that connects testes to anterolateral abdominal wall, this connected site will become deep inguinal ring

63
Q

A

peritoneal diverticulum (a blind pouch that pushes outwards), after birth it degenerates but distal expansion remains as the tunica vaginalis, sometimes it remains in inguinal canal which can predispose ppl to hernias, degrades after birth

64
Q

Surrounded by (deep to superficial) internal spermatic fascia, cremasteric fascia, cremaster muscle, and external spermatic fascia

67
Q

development of inguinal canal in females

A

more narrow than in males b/c smaller structures pass through it during development, round lig of uterus passes through Inguinal Canal. Developing ovaries located extraperitoneally in superior lumbar region of posterior abdomen. The Processus Vaginalis traverses the developing Inguinal Canal to reach the developing labia major, Ovaries + uterus are connected to the anterolateral abdominal wall Gubernaculum. Because ovaries are connected to the uterus via ovarian ligaments, ovaries do not migrate into inguinal canal. Postnatally, the Superior Gubernaculum becomes Ovarian Lig (b/w ovaries and uterus) and the Inferior Gubernaculum becomes the Round Lig of Uterus, which is connected to the labia majora. Round ligament of uterus traverses inguinal canal, attaches to subcutaneous tissues of labia majora.

origin is medial to lateral umbilical cord, usually inguinal triangle directly through abdominal wall, does not enter spermatic cord, and can descend into testes
