Q

What is the most seriors consequence of a gallstone lodged in the ampulla of the major duodenal papilla?

A

Pancreatitis

  • Bile cannot get out
  • Backs up into the common bile duct and the major pancreatic duct
    • Remember, they converge just before the spincter of Oddi
  • Bile is corrosive to the pancreas

A

Accessory pancreatic duct

Derived from the dorsal bud
(Bigger bud -> smaller duct)

Empties into the minor duodenal papilla

24

The patient will feel:

A

Pain in the appendix will be referred to the T10 dermatome

The patient will feel:

The patient will feel:

Upper abdominal pain

**But peritonitis under the diaphragm -> Shoulder; C3-5**

28
Q

Dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud:

Gives rise to the major pancreatic duct

A

Ventral

29
Q

Which blood vessels runs alongside the falciform ligament?

A

Paraumbilical veins

30
Q

Surgical resection of the cardiac part of the stomach near the esophagus would require ligation of branches from what artery?

A. Splenic

B. Left gastric

C. Right gastric

D. Gastroduodenal

E. Right gastroepiploic

A

B. Left gastric

31
Q

Which artery is labeled by #6?

IMA

32
Q

Dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud:

Joins the common bile duct

A

Ventral

(Main pancreatic duct -> major duodenal papilla)

33
Q

Fluid from which of the following locations can pass most easily from the abdominal cavity (greater peritoneal sac) into the pelvic cavity?

A. Left paracolic gutter

B. Lesser sac

C. Space above the phrenicocolic ligament

D. Space to the right of the dorsal mesointestine

A

A. Left paracolic gutter

(Thank you @Will Schwartz!)

35
Q

Which ligament surrounds the bare area of the liver?

A

Coronary ligament

36
Q

Which artery is labeled by #2?

Which large artery is it a branch of?

A

Right colic

SMA

37
Q

Which structure is labled by C?

A

Common hepatic duct

38
Q

Dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud:

Gives rise to the lesser pancreatic duct

A

Dorsal

39
Q

Which structure is labled by B?

A

Cystic duct

40
Q

Pain in the left colic flexure will be referred to the ____ dermatome

The patient will feel:

A

Pain in the left colic flexure will be referred to the L1 dermatome

The patient will feel:

Pelvic pain

41
Q

Where are the two places in the abdominal cavity where blood and/or infection can accumulate/localize?

Why?

A
  • Around the spleen (left of the stomach)
    • Phrenicolic ligament blocks the easy passage of fluid/blood/infection inferiorly
  • To the right of the dorsal mesointestine (in the midgut loop)
    • Contained by the midgut loop

Fluid in other spots drains into the pelivc cavity via paracolic and dorsal mesointestine gutters

42
Q

Inferior view of the liver:

Which structure is labeled by D?

A

Caudate lobe

43
Q

Inferior view of the liver:

Which 3 structures are contained in A?

A

Portal vein

Hepatic artery

Bile duct

(The portal triad)

44
Q

Which 4 strucutres does the gallbladder touch?

What is the significance?

A
  • Anterior abdominal wall
  • Liver
  • Duodenum
  • Transverse colon

An infected gallbladder can form a fistula - worst in the duodenum

45
Q

Which ligament divides the liver into the right and left lobe?

A

Falciform ligament

46
Q

Which part of the GI tract is most susceptible to ischemia?

A

Left colic flexure

  • In the territory between the middle colic branch of the SMA and the left colic branch fo the IMA
47
Q

Which structure is labled by F?

Which embryonic structure is it derived from?

What does it empty into?

A

Main pancreatic duct

Derived from the ventral bud
(Smaller bud -> bigger duct)

Empties into the major duodenal papilla
(Sphincter of Oddi is here)

48
Q

Which artery is labeled by #4?

A

Superior mesenteric artery

  • Feeds into the middle colic (3), right colic (2), and ileocolic (1)
49
Q

Function

  • Myenteric (Auerbach) plexus:
  • Submucosal (Meissner) plexus:
A

Function

  • Myenteric (Auerbach) plexus:
    • Smooth muscle contraction
  • Submucosal (Meissner) plexus:
    • Glandular secretion, muscularis mucosae
