ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL
Skin : Langer lines (orientation of dermal fibers arranged transversely)
Subcutan layer : superficial, predominantly fatty layer—Camper fascia, and a
deeper membranous layer—Scarpa fascia
Rectus sheath: aponeurosis of midline rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles
as well as the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis
muscles .
the construction of this sheath varies above and below a boundary, termed the
arcuate line (Fig. 2-2). Cephalad to this border, the aponeuroses invest the rectus
abdominis bellies on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Caudal to this line, all
aponeuroses lie ventral or super cial to the rectus abdominis muscle, and only the
thin transversalis fascia and peritoneum lie beneath the rectus
ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL
FIGURE 2-1 Muscles and blood vessels of the anterior abdominal wall
BLOOD SUPPLY
the superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac, and superficial
external pudendal arteries arise from the femoral artery : skin and
subcutaneous layers of the anterior abdominal wall and mons pubis
the inferior “deep” epigastric vessels and deep circumflex iliac vessels
are branches of the external iliac vessels. they supply the muscles and
fascia of the anterior abdominal wall.
INNERVATION
intercostal nerves (T7-11)the subcostal nerve (T12):
anterior rami of the thoracic spinal nerves
run along the lateral and anterior abdominal wall between the transversus abdominis and internal
oblique muscles.
branches pierce the posterior sheath, rectus muscle, and then anterior sheath to reach the skin ->
severed during a Pfannenstiel incision
the iliohypogastric perforates the external oblique aponeurosis near the lateral
rectus border
skin over the suprapubic area
ilioinguinal nerves (L1) medially travels through the inguinal canal, exits through the superficial
inguinal ring, which forms by splitting of external abdominal oblique aponeurosis fibers
skin of the lower abdominal wall, upper portion of the labia majora
The T10 dermatome approximates the level of the umbilicus. regional analgesia for
cesarean delivery or for puerperal sterilization ideally blocks T10 through L1 levels
ORGAN GENITALIA EXTERNA
Vulva : includes all structures visible externally from the pubis to the
perineal body
Mons Pubis
Labia Mayora ~ man’s scrotum
Labia Minora
Clitoris
Hymen
Vestibule
urethral opening
greater vestibular or Bartholin glands,
minor vestibular glands,
paraurethral glands
mons pubis
a fat-filled cushion overlying the symphysis pubis. After puberty, the mons pubis skin is
covered by curly hair that forms the escutcheon
contains many sebaceous glands (oils) that serve as pillows during sex.
the labia majora = male scrotum
principally according to the amount of fat they contain. ey are 7 to 8 cm in length, 2 to 3 cm in depth, and 1 to
1.5 cm in thickness.
Both of these lips at the bottom meet to form the perineum
labia minora: a long, narrow skin crease located inside the large lip
(labia majora) without hair extending down the clitoris and fused with
the fourchette, the lateral half portion and anterior labia usually
contain pigment, medial surface of the labia minora is the same as the
vaginal mucosa that is pink and wet
.
Clitoris It is an important part of the erectile external reproductive
apparatus, and is located near the superior tip of the vulva. This organ
contains many blood vessels and sensory nerve fibers so it is very sensitive
analogous to the male penis. The main function of the clitoris is to stimulate
and increase sexual tension.
FIGURE 2-6 Anatomy of the anorectum, drawn to show relations of the internal anal sphincter,
the external anal sphincter, and the levator ani muscles. The boundaries of the ischiorectal fossa
are shown. The ischiorectal fossa is bounded deeply by the inferior fascia of the levator ani
muscles, superficially by the perineal skin, anterolaterally by the fascia of the obturator internus
muscles and ischial tuberosities, posterolaterally by the gluteus maximus muscles and
sacrotuberous ligament, and medially by the anal canal and sphincter complex.
PERINEAL BODY
The median raphe of the levator ani, between the anus and the
vagina, is reinforced by the central tendon of the perineum. The
bulbocavernosus, superficial transverse perineal, and external anal
sphincter muscles also converge on the central tendon.
The perineal body is incised by an episiotomy incision and is torn with
second-, third-, and fourth-degree lacerations

UTERUS
Between the bladder anteriorly and the rectum posteriorly.
Almost the entire posterior wall of the uterus is covered by serosa, that
is visceral peritoneum.
The lower portion of this peritoneumforms the anterior boundary of
the recto-uterine cul-de-sac, or pouch of Douglas.
UTERUS

The lower portion of the anterior uterine wall vesicouterine space.

UTERUS
body or corpus, and a lower, cylindrical portion—the cervix, which
projects into the vagina.
The isthmus is that portion of the uterus between the internal cervical
os and the endometrial cavity
The fallopian tubes, also called oviducts
The fundus
UTERUS
The uterus of adult nulliparous womenmeasures 6 to 8 cm in length as
compared with 9 to 10 cm in multiparous women. In nonparous women, the
uterus averages 50 to 70 g, whereas in parous women it averages 80 g or
more
In nulliparous women, the fundus and cervix are approximately equal length,
but in multiparous women, the cervix is only a little more than 1/3 of the total
length
CERVIX
The upper segment of the cervix—the portio supravaginalis
Covered by peritoneum on its posterior surface,
the cardinal ligaments attach laterally
separated from lower vaginal portion of the cervix portio vaginalis

ovarian and uterine vessels anastomose freely. Note the uterine artery and vein crossing over
the ureter that lies immediately adjacent to the cervix. (Used with permission from Jennifer

OVARIES
During childbearing years from 2.5 to 5 cm in length, 1.5 to 3 cm
in breadth, and 0.6 to 1.5 cm in thickness.
The cortex contains oocytes and developing follicles.
The medulla is the central portion, which is composed of loose
connective tissue, a large number of arteries and veins in the medulla
and a small number of smooth muscle fibers.
