External Oblique
C.
Internal Oblique

he cuts through before reaching the transversalis fascia?

Fascia of transversus abdominis
E.
External oblique muscle

Transversus abdominis muscle
10.Which is true of the blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall?
A.
Direct branches of the Aorta supply the lateral anterior abdominal wall
B.
Multiple branches of the Subclavian Artery supply the anterior abdominal wall
C.
Branches of the Internal Iliac Artery supply the anterior abdominal wall inferior to the arcuate line
D.
Inferior Epigastric Arteries are found superficial to the rectus abdominus muscle
11.You are performing surgery on a 56-year-old man with an ulcer in the first part of the duodenum. In
which region of the anterior abdominal wall would you make your initial incision to treat the ulcer?
A.
Left Lumbar
B.
Right Lumbar
C.
Right Hypochondriac
D.
Epigastric
E.
Left Hypochondriac
12.Assisting in a surgery, you notice the surgeon's incision draws a large volume of blood immediately
from the patient's para-umbilical region. You are startled and ask the surgeon why he isn't more
concerned about the bleeding as he calmly clamps the artery and makes his deep incision through the
rectus sheath. He explains that:
A.
The artery is a branch off the internal iliac and the bleeding will stop on it's own
B.
The artery is a superficial branch of the Superior epigastic and is not important.
C.
The artery is an anastomosis off the femoral and is not likely to cause muscle ischemia
D.
The artery is a branch off the Internal Thoracic, which is dual supplied by the portal system
13.A patient with an inguinal hernia is undergoing surgery. The surgeon must cut through the rectus
abdominis in the hypogastric region. The fascia that is posteriorly in contact with the abdominis rectus is
made up of which aponeurosis?
A.
Transversalis fascia
B.
Transversalis fascia and oblique fascia
C.
Internal oblique fascia and transversalis fascia
D.
Internal oblique fascia
14.A 15-year-old male was taken to the Emergency Department complaining of tenderness and pain in
the lower right quadrant of his abdomen. Upon palpation of the patient's abdomen, the patient
vocalizes pain and elicits a "guarding reflex." The physician then correctly identifies that the patient is
complaining from an inflamed appendix. Which of the following locations did the Physician palpate to
elicit the pain in this patient?
A.
Approximately 2/3 from the umbilicus to the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)
B.
Approximately 2/3 from the umbilicus to the Iliac Spine
C.
Approximately 1/3 from the umbilicus to the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)
D.
Approximately 1/3 from the umbilicus to the Iliac Spine
15.After a motor vehicle accident, a patient is brought to the emergency department. X-ray reveals
fractured left ninth and tenth ribs. She has a rapid heart rate and low blood pressure. Peritoneal lavage
reveals free blood in the peritoneal cavity. A surgeon is able to stop the bleeding by placing a clamp
across which of the following structures?
A.
Falciform ligament
B.
Hepatoduodenal ligament
C.
Hepatogastric ligament
D.
Splenorenal ligament
E.
Gastrosplenic ligament
