3/2&3/3 GI Flashcards
non-selective beta-blockers
-can they cause hyper/hypokalemia?
- hyperkalemia
- inhibit the Na/K ATPase, so less K pumped into the cell, and more stays in plasma.
Overuse of diuretics can lead to
-metabolic acidosis or alkalosis
- alkalosis
- low volume = renin/aldo = potassium & H wasting = metabolic alkalosis.
- This = contraction alkalosis.

- reactivation TB.
- usually no air-fluid levels.
Is pregnancy associated w/hyper or hypocoaguability?
hypercoag.

Polyarteritis Nodosa
Gastroschisis vs omphalocele
- omphalocele is covered by peritoneum.
- omphalocele is “sealed”.
- both have inc AFP.
ant ab. wall defects:
-Rostral fold closure:
sternal defects
ant ab. wall defects:
-Lateral fold closure:
omphalocele, gastroschisis
ant ab. wall defects:
-Caudal fold closure:
bladder exstrophy
Jejunal, ileal, colonic atresia—due to:
- Can lead to bilious vomitting. Not caused by abnormal fetal development.
- due to vascular accident (apple peel atresia)
Midgut development:
-6th week:
midgut herniates through umbilical ring.
Midgut development:
-10th week:
midgut returns to abdominal cavity + rotates around SMA.
TEF
-results in oligo or polyhydramnios?
polyhydramnios.
Palpable “olive” mass in epigastric region and nonbilious projectile vomiting at ≈ 2–6 weeks old.
congenital pyloric stenosis
congenital pyloric stenosis most often seen in:
firstborn males.
pancreas: derived from:
foregut
Ventral pancreatic buds contribute to:
-pancreatic head and main pancreatic duct
The uncinate process is formed by:
-the ventral bud alone
Dorsal pancreatic bud becomes:
-body, tail, isthmus, and accessory pancreatic duct.
Annular pancreas: caused by dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud?
-how does it present?
- Ventral pancreatic bud abnormally encircles 2nd part of duodenum; forms a ring of pancreatic tissue that may cause duodenal narrowing.
- recurrent bilious vomiting in infant.
Pancreas divisum:
- how does it happen?
- how does it present?
- Ventral and dorsal parts fail to fuse at 8 weeks.
- usually asymptomatic.
- may get recurring bouts of pancreatitis.
Spleen:
- arises from what?
- arterial blood from where?
- arises in mesentery of stomach (hence is mesodermal) but is supplied by foregut (celiac artery).
- mesentery of stomach = mesogastrium.
Retroperitoneal structures
-mnemonic?
SAD PUCKER:
- Suprarenal (adrenal) glands
- Aorta and IVC
- Duodenum (2nd through 4th parts)
- Pancreas (except tail)
- Ureters
- Colon (descending and ascending)
- Kidneys
- Esophagus (lower 2 / 3 )
- Rectum (partially)
Falciform ligament
- connects:
- contains:
- derivative of:
- Liver to anterior abdominal wall.
- Ligamentum teres hepatis (deriv. of fetal umbilical vein).
- aka round ligament of liver
- Derivative of: ventral mesentery.
Hepatoduodenal ligament
- connects:
- contains:
- Pringle maneuver?
-Liver to duodenum
-Portal triad
-Hepatoduodenal ligament may be compressed between
thumb and index finger placed in omental foramen to
control bleeding.
Pringle maneuver?
Hepatoduodenal ligament may be compressed between
thumb and index finger placed in omental foramen to
control bleeding.
Gastrohepatic ligament
- connects:
- contains:
- why would you cut this?
- Liver to lesser curvature of stomach
- Gastric arteries
- May be cut during surgery to access lesser sac.
Which ligament can be cut to access the lesser sac?
-Gastrohepatic ligament
Gastrocolic lig.
- connects:
- contains:
- part of what?
- Greater curvature & transverse colon.
- Gastroepiploic arteries
- part of greater omentum.
Gastrosplenic lig.
- connects:
- contains:
-Greater curvature & spleen.
-Short gastrics, left gastroepiploic vessels
-
Splenorenal lig.
- connects:
- contains:
- Spleen to posterior abdominal wall.
- Splenic artery and vein, tail of pancreas.
Greater sac:
the general peritoneal cavity
-abdominal cavity inside peritoneum but outside
the lesser sac.
tail of pancreas
-contained in which ligament?
splenorenal lig.
musclaris externa
-2 layers:
- inner circular
- outer longitudinal
Meissners plexus:
- location:
- control of:
- submucosa
- secretions
Auerbach (myenteric) plexus:
- location:
- control of:
- muscularis externa
- contractions
Serosa:
Adventitia:
- serosa = intraperitoneal
- adventitia = retroperitoneal
Frequencies of basal electric rhythm (slow waves):
- Stomach:
- Duodenum:
- Ileum:
- Stomach—3 waves/min
- Duodenum—12 waves/min
- Ileum—8–9 waves/min
Gut wall
-What are layers w/in Mucosa?
- epithelium (absorption)
- lamina propria (support) = location of gastric glands.
- muscularis mucosa (motility)
Esophagus:
-histology
-Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
Brunners glands:
- location:
- function:
- unique to duodenum.
- Secrete alkalinized mucus.
- its secreted into the crypts of lieberkuhn aka intestinal gland.
Where is the main site of lipid absorption?
Jejunum
Plicae circulares
- most prominent where?
- function?
- Jejunum
- inc. SA for absorption
Does the colon have:
- villi?
- crypts of leiberkuhn?
- no villi
- yes crypts
SMA syndrome:
- what is it?
- possible causes?
- occurs when the transverse portion (third segment) of the duodenum is entrapped between SMA and aorta, causing intestinal obstruction.
- dec. mesenteric fat can cause this, ie. crash diet.
Which vessel can be compromised during repair of AAA?
-what does it lead to?
- IMA
- ischemia of hindgut.
