d. ??????



2q: Which of these will kill spores?
a. alcohol
b. phenol
c. chlorine
d. aldehyde

*Aldehydes, such as glutaraldehyde, have a wide microbiocidal activity and are sporocidal and fungicidal. They are partly inactivated by organic matter and have slight residual activity.
*Alcohol is, at best, only partly effective against most non-enveloped viruses (such as hepatitis A), and is not effective against fungal and bacterial spores.

3q: Superficial inguinal ring is a defect in
a. External oblique aponeurosis
b. Transversalis fascia
c. ?????????????
d. ?????????????


*The deep inguinal ring is a defect in Trasversalis fascia. 

Some lecture notes on inguinal region :

*Descent of Gonads (Ovary and Testis); develop and migrate retroperitoneally:


*Gubernaculum: a ligamentous structure that runs between the lower pole of each gonad to each labial/scrotal fold. In the female it becomes the round ligament


*Ovary: reaches and remains at the pelvis by the 3rd month.
*Definitive ovary: reaches deep pelvis trailing its vessels and nerves.


*Testis:
-Processus vaginalis (peritoneal pouch; evaginates into developing scrotum, lies ahead of testis during descent))
-Reaches deep inguinal ring by 7th month;
-Passes through inguinal canal between 7-8 months;
-Reaches scrotum before birth.
-Around birth time: processus vaginalis closes off from peritoneum and forms tunica vaginalis of testis.,
-Patent processus vaginalis predisposes to congenital inguinal hernia.


*Coverings of the Spermatic Cord:
-external spermatic fascia: derived from Ext. Oblique fascia
-cremaster muscle and fascia: derived from Int. oblique muscle and fascia.
-Internal spermatic fascia: derived from transversalis fascia.


*Components of the spermatic cord:
-ductus deferens
-testicular artery
-artery of the ductus deferens
-pampiniform plexus of veins
-nerves (autonomic) and lymphatics
-genital branch of genitofemoral nerve


*Inguinal Canal: a diagonal passage formed by the aponeuroses of the three flat abdominal muscles.


*Contents of Inguinal Canal
-Spermatic Cord (male) or Round Ligament (female)
-Ilioinguinal Nerve


*Boundaries of the Inguinal canal :
-Superficial inguinal ring: triangular defect in the ext. oblique aponeurosis
-Deep inguinal ring: in the transversalis fascia.
-Anterior wall: int.oblique muscle (laterally) and external oblique aponeurosis (medially).
-Roof: falx inguinalis (arching inferior fibers of internal oblique muscle)
-Floor: inguinal ligament and lacunar ligament (medially)
-Posterior wall: transversalis fascia (weak fascia) laterally and conjoint tendon (medially)


*Boundaries of Inguinal Triangle (of Hesselbach):
-Medially: lateral edge of rectus abdominis (linea semilunaris)
-Laterally: inferior epigastric artery
-Inferiorly: inguinal ligament


*Abdominal Wall Hernias:
-Inguinal: hernia passes through the inguinal canal for a variable distance and exits through the ext.inguinal ring.


-Indirect:
-Congenital; through patent processus vaginalis
-Acquired: passes through deep inguinal ring initially, i.e lateral to the inferior epigastric artery and exits through the superficial ring.


-Direct: passes medial to the inferior epigastric artery (in the inguinal triangle) and may pass through the superficial inguinal ring.
-Femoral: below inguinal ligament.
-Obturator


-Other: umbilical; lumbar; incisional; hiatal; etc.

7q: Identify the following ?

a. Optic atrophy
b. Myelinated retinal fibers
c. ????????
d. Drusen


*The below image is what drusen looks like :

*Drusen (singular, "druse") are tiny yellow or white accumulations of extracellular material that build up in Bruch's membrane of the eye. The presence of a few small ("hard") drusen is normal with advancing age, and most people over 40 have some hard drusen. However, the presence of larger and more numerous drusen in the macula is a common early sign of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
