10/21 Abdomen IV Flashcards
name and locate the four parts of the duodenum
1st: superior, transpyloric plane
2nd: descending, alond R side of LV1/LV2/LV3
3rd: inferior, 3LV level
4th: ascending, goes up to LV2
features of 1st part of duodenum
gastroduodenal A ant to bile duct inf to quadrate lobe sup to head of pancreas peritonealized, in the hepatoduodenal ligament
features of 2nd part of duodenum
retroperitoneal post to transverse colon ant to hilum of r kidney articulates w/ head of pancreas *major duodenal papilla*
what marks the transition between foregut and midgut
major duodenal papilla, in 2nd part of duodenum
features of the 3rd part of duodenum
retroperitoneal articulates w/ head of pancreas deep to root of mesentary deep to superior mesenteric vessels ant to IVC and abdom aorta
features of 4th part of the duodenum
retroperitoneal
suspensory ligament of duodenum/ligament of treitz attaches to diagphragm, marks duodenal/jejunal jxn
clinical significance: ligament of treitz
a proximal bleed will show up in vomit
a distal bleed will show up in stool
jejunum/ileum
intraperitoneal
suspended by mesentary (root travels from LV2 to righ iliac fossa, midline cross denotes jejunum to ileum
superior mesenteric vessels
clinical significant of location of superior mesenteric a
crosses anterior to the L renal v, originates deep to the neck of the pancreas, compressable
SMA syndrome and Nutcracker syndrome
SMA syndrome
compression of 3rd part of duodenum between superior mesenteric a and aorta
nutcracker syndrome
compression of L renal v between super mesenteric a and aorta, impeding venous return from L gonadal v
(ad)renal HTN,
varicocele left testicle (or left labia majora)
improved by laying down
visible characteristic of jejunum
vasa recta, less fat
more superior
visible characteristic of jejunum
arterial arcade, no windows, lots of fat
more inferior
cecum
cont with ascending colon
ileocecal jxn, ileocecal valve
appendix hands inferiorly in mesoappendix
appendix
in its own mesoappendix
appendicular a, from ileocolic a
