What ligament is important in femoral hernias?
Why?
lacunar ligament- It is an extension of the inguinal. its sharp free edge cuts into the femoral triangle which enlarges w/ a femoral hernia....

What is the appendix of the testis a remnant of?
The appendix of the epididymis?
Testis: paramesonephric duct

What is it?
sliding hiatal hernia
The fundus (usually only this) moves into the thorax next to the esophageal hiatus. What is it?
paraesophageal hernia
Which is sensitive to heat, touch, cold, laceration, and pain is well localized; nerve fibers to the parietal peritoneum or visceral peritoneum?
parietal (visceral is poorly localized pain and insensitive...
-primarily stimulated by stretching and chemical irritation)

genital branch of genitofemoral (L1-2)
What nerve supplies the cutaneous femoral triangle area?
femoral branch of genitofemoral nerve (L1-2)
Inferior superficial to umbilicus. where does the lymph drain?

deep lymphatic drainage of abdomen goes where?
deep abdominal nodes
three places abdominal hernias can occur?
