16
Q

colon

A
taeniae coli (longitudinal bands) for peristalsis
epiplotic appendages (fat tags)
17
Q

ascending colon

A

goes up until R colic flexure/hepatic flexure
deep to liver
retroperitoneal

18
Q

transverse colon

A

transition from midgut to hindgut to left of midline (2/3 of the way along the transverse colon), turns down at left colic flexure/splenic flexure
suspended by transverse mesocolon

19
Q

desceding colon

A

retroperitoneal

20
Q

things in mid/hindgut that are actually intraperitoneal

A
1st part of duodenum
jejunum
ileum
appendix
transverse colon
21
Q

midgut general

A

major duodenal papilla —>—>—>2/3 transverse colon

superior mesenteric a (L1), intestinal branches within mesentary proper

22
Q

hindgut general

A

last 1/3 of transverse colon —>—>rectum

inferior mesenteric a (L3), origin is retroperitoneal

23
Q

margina A of drummond

clinical significance

A

major anastomoses between mid and hind gut

weak point/water shed area/L colic feature: if compromised marginal A, ischemia here first

24
Q

four main branches off superior mesenteric a

A

ant/post inferior pancreaticoduodenal aa
middle colic
r colic
ileocolic (loops on itself)

25
Q

three main branches of inferior mesenteric a

A

L colic
sigmoid
superior rectal

26
Q

caval system

A

venous drainage to IVC from UG and co.

27
Q

hepatic portal system

A

venous drainage for ALL of fore/mid/hindgut
coalesces into portal v –> liver

portal V is always anterior to IVC

28
Q

portal system

A

stomach/intestinal capillaries
hepatic portal v
liver sinusoid capillaries

29
Q

three caval-portal anastomotic connections

A
azygous (C) and esphageal (P)
superficial abdominal vv (C) and paraumbilical (P)
interior rectal (C) and superior rectal (P)
30
Q

clinical significance of portal-caval anastomoses

A

under normal conditions, pressure is = across systems

HTN of one system will cause blood to backflow and buildup in areas of lower pressure

Tx: shunt btwn hepatic portal v (inf to liver) to IVC to bypass the liver

presents as: esophageal varices, internal hemmorrhoids, caput medusae
