If there is Mesenteric ischemia due to arteriosclerosis of the IMA, what artery will supply the structures of the IMA?
marginal artery
Into what part of the duodenum does the hepatopancreatic ampulla go into?
second part
Where do gallstones lodge?
• at the hepatopancreatic ampulla - causes jaundice• cystic duct
What organ is enlarged if there is enlargement of the portal-systemic connections?
spleen
what are the branches of splenic artery?
left gastroepiploicshort gastric - to fundus of stomach
What is porta hypertension?
obstruction of flow in the portal system and blood can flow in retrograde (no valves)
What are the sites of anastomoses for portocaval system? What are the complications that can occur in each?
esophageal veins - esophageal varicesthoracopigastric veins - caput medusaerectal veins - internal hemorrhoids
If a gallstone erodes through the posterior wall of the gallbladder or fundus of the gallbladder, where will the stone go into?
transverse colon
if a gallstone lodges into the body of the gallbladder it ulcerates through the posterior wall of the body where does it go?
duodenum
What nerve gives sensation to the liver?

greater splanchnic through sympathetic trunk
In portocaval anastomosis, what two veins form the rectal anastomosis? Where do they drain? What happens if there is portal hypertension?
superior rectal vein and inferior rectal vein, they drain into the internal iliac vein. If there is portal hypertension internal hemorrhoids occur
In portocaval anastomosis, what two veins join to form the esophageal anastomosis? What happens if there is portal hypertension?
the left gastric and the azygous vein join. In portal hypertnsion, esophageal varices form and bleeding may occur.
In portocaval anastomosis, what two veins join to from the umbilical anastomosis? What happens here in portal hypertension?
the paraumbilical vein and superior and inferior epigastric veins join. In portal hypertension you have caput medussae around the umbilicus
If a patient presents with cancer of the head of the pancreas, what structure can get obstructed/compressed? What will this result in?
bile duct therefore jaundice occurs
What part of the pancreas is anterior to where the portal vein forms?
the neck
What veins join to form the portal vein?
the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein
What causes Annular pancreas?
during development there is malformation of the pancreas where the ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds from a ring around the duodenum causing obstruction of the duodenum and polyhydramnios
