07-03 GIT Gx Small Intestine, Pancreas, Spleen Flashcards
3 parts of the small intestine
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
first and shortest part of the intestine; widest and most fixed part
duodenum
duodenum: Considered partially
retroperitoneal, except
first 2.5cm
duodenum shape
C-shaped
duodenum begins at __ and ends at ___
pylorus;
duodeno-jejunal junction (flexure)
4 parts of duodenum
1) first part (superior) or duodenal bulb
2) second part (descending)
3) third part (horizontal)
4) fourth part (ascending)
first part of duodenum (duodenal bulb) lies anterolateral to the
body of the L1 vertebra
most movable part of the duodenum
1st part (superior) or duodenal bulb
(duodenum) has a mesentery and is mobile and attached to this part (greater omentum and hepatoduodenal ligament)
proximal half
(duodenum) has no mesentery and is immobile (fixed to the posterior abdominal wall)
distal half
(duodenum) common bile duct and main pancreatic duct enter the posteromedial wall of the ____ obliquely and unite to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla (of Vater)
duodenum 2nd part (descending)
–also note: has no mesentery and retroperitoneal
(duodenum) located 8-10cm distal to the pylorus
major duodenal papilla
(duodenum) located 6-8cm distal to the pylorus
lesser duodenal papilla
(duodenum) duodenum part at the level of L3 vertebra
third part (horizontal)
also note: adherent to the posterior abdominal wall
meets the jejunum at the duodenojejunal flexure
duodenum 4th part (ascending)
(duodenum) a fibromuscular band supporting the duodenojejunal flexure
Ligament of Treitz (suspensory muscle of duodenum)
(duodenum) arteries of the duodenum arise form the
celiac trunk and
superior mesentery artery (SMA)
(duodenum) embryological - foregut - supplied by
celiac trunk
(duodenum) embryological - midgut - supplied by
SMA
(duodenum) supplies the duodenum PROXIMAL TO THE ENTRY OF BILE DUCT into the descending part of the duodenum
celiac trunk -> gastroduodenal artery -> superior pancreaticoduodenal artery
(duodenum) supplies the duodenum DISTAL TO THE ENTRY OF BILE DUCT
SMA -> inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery
(duodenum) location of anastomosis f the superior and inferior panccreaticoduodenal arteries
between the entry of the bile duct and the junction of the descending and inferior parts of the duodenum
(duodenum) lies in the curve between the duodenum and the head of the pancreas and supply both structures
pancreaticoduodenal arteries
(duodenum) veins of the duodenum drain into the HEPATIC PORTAL VEIN, some directly and others indirectly, through the
superior mesenteric and
splenic veins
(duodenum) superior pancreaticoduodenal vein will drain into the
portal vein (directly)
(duodenum) inferior pancreaticoduodenal vein will drain to
superior mesenteric vein (SMV),
…SMV will then drain to the portal vein.
(duodenum) Drain upward - pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes to..
gastroduodenal nodes
celiac nodes
(duodenum) Drain downward - pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes to…
superior mesenteric plexus
duodenal sympathetic innervation derive from ___ via __-
vagus and
greater and lesser (abdominopelvic) splanchnic nerves via
celiac & mesenteric plexuses
mobile portion of the duodenum
first 2cm of the superior part
part of duodenum crossed by SMA and SMV
3rd
hepatopancreatic ampulla opens at which part of the duodenum?
ascending
.This structure indicates the junction of the distal part of the duodenum and the proximal part of the jejunum:
Ligament of Treitz
Marks anatomical union of (common) bile duct & Duct of Wirsung:
Vater
The blood supply of the duodenum that is PROXIMAL to the entry of the bile duct comes from the:
Superior pancreaticoduodenal artery
marks the end of the duodenum and the beginning of the jejunum
Ligament of Treitz
ave. length of duodenum
25cm
most blood supply of the small intestine comes from
SMA
opening into the pancreatic and common bile duct is found in which portion of the duodenum?
2nd..
the ducts enters it posteromedial wall.
jejunum begins at
duodenojejunal flexure;
ileum ends at
the ileocecal junction
