the linea albal is formed by the aponeuoreses of which muscles?
Formed by aponeuroses of external oblique, internal oblique and transversus abdominis

describe the structure of the rectus sheath
a) above arcuate line
b) below arcuate line

what is the blood supply to the abdominal wall like? (3) where from?
sinternal thoracic artery –> superior epigastric artery
external iliac artery –> inferior epigastric artery
lower intercost and lumbar arteries - blood to lateral aspect of ab wall.
what two anatomical features are found under the inguinal ligament? [2]
why is water needed in the digestive system? (4)
Hydrolysis reactions of digestion
Facilitation of absorption (brings products of digestion into close proximity to microvilli)
Facilitation of propulsion of gut contents
Combination with mucin granules to make mucus
in the production / break down of glucagon, glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase are made active / inactive by the addition of what?
glycogen synthase is activated by removing P, inactivated by adding P
glycogen phosphorylase is activated by adding P, inactivated by removing b
therefore work antagonistically !
extrinisc innervation of the GI tract:
extrinsic innervation - vagus nerve mediates communication gut and CNS
Clostridium difficile:
a) associated / caused by what?
b) results in what symptoms? (2)
c) treatment? (3)
Clostridium difficile:
a) associated / caused by: broad spectrum antiobiotic usage - opportunistic overgrowth
b) results in: watery diarrhoea & abdominal pain
c) treatment: stop antibiotic use, vancomycin, fecal microbiota transfer
