Arterial supply is from the left gastric artery (and inferior phrenic)

Venous drainage?
Is to the portal vein

Lymph drainage?
Is to nodes along the left gastric artery and then coeliac nodes

Q

What forms the porto-systemic or portocaval anastomosis

A

Submucosal veins in the oesophagus form an anastomosis between its middle and lower thirds. The middle third drains to the azygos vein that drains to the SVC (systemic). The lower third drains to the left gastric vein that drains to the portal vein. Therefore this anastomosis is between the portal and systemic circulations i.e. a porto-systemic or portocaval anastomosis

Q

Consequence of cirrhotic liver disease

A

Cirrhotic liver disease raises the portal venous pressure (portal hypertension) and blood escapes via the submucosal veins in the oesophagus and in to the systemic azygos vein. Consequently the veins become dilated and tortuous: oesophageal varices
–> Which may cause fatal haemorrhage

Q

How is reflux prevented at the lower end of the oesophagus? 3

A

No anatomical sphincter, physiological sphincter

Reflux is prevented by a “physiological” cardiac sphincter: 1. Contraction of the right crus of the diaphragm

  1. The tonic contraction of the circular layer of smooth muscle in the lower oesophagus
  2. The “valvular” effect of the oblique entry of the oesophagus into the stomach, augmented by the oblique muscle layer

Sphincter closure under vagal control

Q

Which regions does the stomach lie in?

A

It lies across the epigastric region, but extending to the umbilical and left hypogastric regions

18
Q

Anterior and posterior relations of the stomach

A

Anteriorly related to: anterior abdominal wall; left costal margin; left pleura and lung (above diaphragm); diaphragm itself; left lobe of the liver

Posteriorly related to: lesser sac; diaphragm; spleen; left suprarenal gland; upper part of left kidney; splenic artery; pancreas; transverse mesocolon; transverse colon

19
Q

What are the 4 parts of the stomach?

A

Cardia
Fundus
Body
Pyloric part (pyloric Antrum and canal)

20
Q

What happens to the circular muscle in the pyloric region?

A

Thicken to form the pyloric sphincter that controls the outflow of gastric contents in to the duodenum

21
Q

What are rugae?

A

Mucosal folds

aka maganstrasse

22
Q

Change to bolus in stomach?

A

The stomach receives and stores food and fluid, adds more fluid plus acid and enzymes to create chyme and carry out digestion

23
Q

Blood supply to stomach?

A

The arteries are all derived from the
branches of the coeliac artery (trunk or axis)

The left gastric artery:
- Arises from the coeliac artery.
- It supplies the lower third of the
oesophagus and the proximal part of the lesser curve and adjacent body of the stomach.

The right gastric artery

  • Arises from the hepatic artery at the upper border of the pylorus.
  • It supplies the distal part of the lesser curve and adjacent body of the stomach.

The short gastric arteries

  • Arise from the splenic artery
  • Supply the fundus

The left gastro-epiploic (omental) artery

  • Arises from the splenic artery
  • Supply the stomach along the proximal part of the greater curvature and adjacent body

The right gastro-epiploic artery

  • Arises from the gastroduodenal branch of the hepatic artery;
  • Supplies stomach along the distal part of the greater curvature and adjacent body
24
Q

Arteries that supply stomach?

A

The left gastric artery:

The right gastric artery

The short gastric arteries

The left gastro-epiploic (omental) artery

The right gastro-epiploic artery

The arteries are all derived from the
branches of the coeliac artery (trunk or axis)

25
Q

Where does the gasproduodenal artery lie in relation to the duodenum?

A

Posterior to the first part

26
Q

Venous drainage of the stomach?

4 vessels

A

The veins all drain into the portal circulation
1 +2. The left and right gastric veins drain directly into the portal vein
3. The right gastro-epiploic vein joins the superior mesenteric vein
4. The short gastric veins and the left gastro-epiploiac veins join the splenic vein

27
Q

What is vagotomy?

A

Operations done to cut the vagal trunks to:
- Reduce gastric acidity and prevent ulcers

Side effect:
-Motility was also affected causing patients to suffer incredible fullness

So consequently the vagal branches were found and sectioned selectively and highly selectively, after the hepatic branches, and after those going to the pyloric sphincter (nerve of Latarget), so that sphincteric function is maintained

28
Q

Stomach bed:
Formed by?
Superiorly?
Inferiorly?

A

Formed by the posterior wall of the lesser sac, and retroperitoneal structures between it and the posterior abdominal wall

Superiorly: part of the diaphragm (left crus), the spleen, the left suprarenal gland and upper pole of the left kidney

Inferiorly: body and tail of pancreas, transverse mesocolon, left colic flexure and the splenic artery

29
Q 
Duodenum:
Shape?
Relations?
Position in peritoneum?
Functions?
A

C shaped structure
Adjacent to the head of the pancreas
It is mainly retroperitoneal and receives the openings of the bile and pancreatic ducts
Functions are: continued digestion, especially of fats; and absorption

30
Q

What occurs at the major papilla

A

Duodenum has 4 parts and receives the bile and pancreatic ducts together at the major papilla

31
Q

1/4 part of the duodenum start?

A

1st or superior part begins at the pylorus and runs upward, backward and to the right, starting on the transpyloric plane at the level of the 1st lumbar vertebra

32
Q

2/4 part of the duodenum start

Major papilla?

A

2nd or descending part runs vertically downward in front of the hilum of the right kidney on the right side of the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae

About halfway down its medial border, the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct pierce the duodenal wall at the major duodenal papilla

33
Q

Other name for major papilla?

A

Ampulla of Vater

34
Q

3/4 part of the duodenum start?

A

3rd or horizontal part runs horizontally to the left on the subcostal plane, passing in front of the vertebral column at L3 and following the lower margin of the head of the pancreas

35
Q

4/4 part of duodenum journey?

A

4th or ascending part runs upward and to the left to the duodenojejunal flexure at L2

36
Q

Duodenum blood supply? Upper/lower halves

A

The upper half is supplied by:
- Supraduodenal and gastroduodenal branches of the common hepatic artery (Coeliac trunk, foregut)
The gastroduodenal gives anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal branches

The lower half is supplied by:
- Superior mesenteric artery (midgut) that gives the Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, which quickly divides into anterior and posterior branches

37
Q

Duodenum venous drainage?

A

The superior pancreaticoduodenal vein drains into the portal vein; the
inferior vein joins the superior mesenteric vein

38
Q

Duodenum lymph drainage?

A

Coeliac and SM nodes

39
Q

Duodenum nerve supply?

A

The nerves are derived from sympathetic greater (T5 to T9) and lesser splanchnic (T10 and 11) nerves and parasympathetic (vagus) nerves via the coeliac and superior mesenteric plexuses

(Change from foregut to midgut)

40
Q

Nerves that supply foregut?

A

T5-9

41
Q
