What is difference between mid point of inguinal ligament and mid inguinal point?

∙ 13y ago
The midpoint of the inguinal ligament and the mid-inguinal point are two different anatomical landmarks in the inguinal region. In order to understand the difference, some simple anatomical knowledge must be clarified.
The inguinal ligament stretches from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. The pubic symphysis lies just medial to the pubic tubercle and is the fibrous joint between the two halves of the pelvis.
Running under the inguinal ligament from medial to lateral are: femoral canal (a potential space that contains mainly lymphatics), femoral vein, femoral artery and femoral nerve.
The midpoint of the inguinal ligament is half way between the ASIS and the pubic tubercle and is the location of the femoral nerve. This landmark is used in femoral nerve blocks.
The mid-inguinal point is half way between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis and is the location of the femoral artery. This landmark is used in palpation of the femoral pulse.
In relation to each other, the mid-inguinal point is more medial than the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.

What bone's Tubercle serves as an attachment point for the inguinal ligament?
The inguinal ligament is a specialization of the inferior border of the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis; it is the site of origin for a part of the internal abdominal oblique muscle and for a part of the transversus abdominis muscle; also known as: Poupart's ligament So basically: - External abdominal muscle - Internal abdominal muscle - Transversus abdominis muscle
What is an inguinal hernia?
the inguinal canal is situated in the lower abdominal wall. horizontally and medially directed. length is about 4cm. extent: superficial inguinal ring to the deep inguinal ring. boundaries anterior wall: aponeurosis of the external oblique abdominis. origin of internal oblique abdominis. posterior wall: transversalis fascia reflected part of the inguinal ligament. floor: grooved surface of the inguinal ligament and lacunar ligament. roof: arched inferior fibres of internal oblique and transverse abdominis.
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
TIBIAL TUBEROSITY
Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone.
What is the difference between Chiasma and Chiasmata?
Chiasmata is the plural of chiasma. They both describe the point of crossover between the maternal and paternal chromosomes.

What is the difference between a hiatal hernia and an inguinal hernia?
None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.

Where do they cut your femoral artery for cardiac cath?
They do not cut your femoral artery for a cardiac catheterization. They use a needle to puncture it, pass an introducer and then guidewires, etc, into the arterial circulation. The point of entry is in the femoral artery, usually just distal to the inguinal ligament in your groin.
