3 Abdominal Cavity I Flashcards
peritoneum layers
parietal peritoneum
visceral peritoneum
peritoneal cavity
potential space
- peritoneal fluid
- closed in males
- pathway to outside via reproductive system in females (uterine tubes)
**not all organs in peritoneum
parietal peritoneum
via regional SOMATIC fibers
- well localized (direct pain)
sensitive to: pain, temperature, touch pressure (skin/external stimuli)
parietal peritoneum sensitive to:
(skin/external stimuli)
pain
temperature
touch pressure
visceral peritoneum
via AUTONOMIC fibers
- poorly localized (referred pain)
sensitive to: stretch + chemical irritation
visceral peritoneum sensitive to:
stretch
chemical irritation
peritoneum organs
intraperitoneal organs
retroperitoneal organs
subperitoneal organs
intraperitoneal organs
organs that are completely covered w/ visceral peritoneum
retroperitoneal organs
organs that are external to parietal peritoneum
- partially covered
(ie) kidney
**retro = behind
subperitoneal organs
organs that are external to parietal peritoneum
- partially covered
(ie) bladder
**sub = below
peritoneal formations
mesentary
omenta
mesentary
a double layer of peritoneum
- flap-like
- occurs as result of invagination of peritoneum by an organ
- connects an intraperitoneal organ w/ body wall (V.A.N.)
- sets pathway for vasculature
(ie) mesentary of small intestine
(ie) transverse mesocolon
omenta
a double, two-layered folds of peritoneum (2 sheets, 4 layers)
- create secondary sac
- mostly fat
- contains vessels and nerves
- travel from stomach/duodenum to adjacent organs
(ie) greater and lesser omentum
greater omentum
a four-layered apron that hangs from stomach/duodenum
- folds back to attach to transverse colon and transverse mesocolon
LEFT side
greater omentum FCN
(1) cushion
(2) insulation
(3) keep organs in proper orientation
(4) isolate infections via lymph
greater omentum ligaments
(1) gastrophrenic ligament
(2) gastrosplenic ligament
(3) gastrocolic ligament
lesser omentum
anchors stomach to liver and portal triad
- contains portal triad
lesser omentum ligaments
(1) gastrohepatic ligament
(2) heptoduodenal ligament
portal triad
made up of:
(1) hepatic portal vein
(2) hepatic artery
(3) common bile duct
parts of peritoneal fluid (peritoneal cavity)
supracolic compartments
infracolic compartments
L/R paracolic gutters
infracolic compartments includes
right paracolic gutter
right infracolic space
left infracolic space
left paracolic gutter
peritoneal fluid
lymphatics of diaphragm that reabsorb fluid
- subphrenic recess
- hepatonrenal recess
