1. The document discusses several anatomical structures and their attachments including Scarpa's fascia, fascia lata, inguinal ligament, Colle's fascia, and the thoracolumbar fascia. 2. Fascia lata is the deep fascia of the thigh that encloses thigh muscles. The inguinal ligament forms the base of the inguinal canal. 3. Colle's fascia prevents extravasation of urine in the perineum in patients with penile injuries. The thoracolumbar fascia attaches to the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae and houses several back muscles.

1. ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS

2. Scarpa’s fascia is attached to:
a. Inguinal ligament
b. Fascia lata of thigh
c. Conjoint tendon
d. Pubic crest

3. FASCIA LATA
The fascia lata is the deep fascia of the thigh. It
encloses the thigh muscles and forms the outer limit of
the fascial compartments of thigh, which are internally
separated by intermuscular septa.
The fascia lata is thickened at its lateral side where
it forms the iliotibial tract

4. INGUINAL LIGAMENT
The inguinal ligament (Poupart's ligament or groin ligament) is a band running from
the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. It forms the base of the
inguinal canal through which an indirect inguinal hernia may develop
It is formed by the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis and is continuous with
the fascia lata of the thigh.
Structures that pass deep to the inguinal ligament include:
1. Psoas major, iliacus, pectineus
2. Femoral nerve, artery, and vein
3. Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh
4. Lymphatics

6. In patients with penile injury, Colle’s fascia prevents
extravasation of urine in: (NEET Pattern 2012)
a. Ischiorectal fossa
b. Perineum
c. Abdomen
d. None

8. In rectus sheath which branch of aorta make anastomosis
with superior epigastric artery: (PGIC 2008)
a. Subclavian artery
b. External iliac artery
c. Internal iliac artery
d. External carotid A

9. SUPERIOR EPIGASTRIC ARTERY refers to a blood vessel that carries
oxygenated blood and arises from the internal thoracic artery (referred to as the
internal mammary artery in the accompanying diagram). It anastomoses with
the inferior epigastric artery at the umbilicus and supplies the anterior part of
the abdominal wall and some of the diaphragm.
Inferior epigastric artery refers to the artery that arises from the
external iliac artery and anastomoses with the superior epigastric
artery.

10. True about Scarpa’s fascia: (NEET Pattern 2015)
a. Deep fascia of anterior abdominal wall
b. Also called Buke’s fascia
c. Attached to Iliotibial tract
d. Forms suspensory ligament of penis

12. Buck's fascia (deep fascia of the penis,Gallaudet's fascia or fascia
of the penis) is a layer of deep fascia covering the three erectile
bodies of the penis
The iliotibial tract or iliotibial band (also known as Maissiat's band or IT band) is a longitudinal fibrous
reinforcement of the fascia lata

14. The rectus sheath contains all of the following EXCEPT:
a. Pyramidalis muscle
b. Genitofemoral nerve
c. Inferior epigastric vessels
d. Superior epigastric vessels

15. All are true about Thoracolumbar facia EXCEPT: (AIPG 2000)
a. Attached to spinus process of lumbar vertebra
b. Attached to transverse process of lumbar vertebra
c. The fascia lies posterior to posterior abdominal wall
muscles.
d. Gives attachment to Transverse abdominal and internal
oblique

16. Deep to the two superficial fascia are layers of deep fascia. The deep fascia of the anterior abdominal wall directly
invests the muscular layers of the anterior abdominal wall.

17. The thoracolumbar fascia (lumbodorsal fascia or thoracodorsal fascia) is a deep
investing membrane throughout most of the posterior thorax and abdomen although it is a thin
fibrous lamina in the thoracic region. Above, it is continuous with a similar investing layer on the
back of the neck—the nuchal fascia.
It is made up of three layers, anterior, middle, and posterior. The anterior and
middle layers insert onto the transverse processes of the vertebral column while
the posterior layer inserts onto the tips of the spinous processes, hence it is
indirectly continuous with the interspinous ligaments.
It houses the quadratus lumborum, transversospinalis, spinal
erectors (erector spinae) and multifidus muscles, and their tendons,
among other intrinsic muscles of the posterior thoracic and lumbar
regions
