57

2) SMA
* *midgut

58

1) descending colon
2) IMA
* *hindgut

59

A

1) stomach, pancreas, and head of duodenum
2) gastroduodenal a (<– celiac trunk)
* *foregut

60
Q

Inferior pancreaticodudodenal a supplies ____ and is a branch of _____

A

1) head of pancreas and duodenum
2) SMA

61
Q

Where does deoxygenated blood from the abdomen drain to?

A

it goes through the hepatic portal system then to the inferior vena cava

62
Q

What is a portal system?

A

circulatory system between two capillary beds

63
Q

What are the three branches of the hepatic portal system and what part of the gut are they located?

A

1) splenic vein - foregut
2) superior mesenteric vein (midgut)
3) inferior mesenteric vein (hindgut)

64
Q

What is the primary function of the hepatic portal system?

A

allows the liver to filter blood (detoxification)

65
Q

Everything that goes through the gut will go through the hepatic portal system, what about suppositories?

A

this drug delivery system will bypass the hepatic portal system

66
Q

Nitro-glycerin is administered under the tongue instead of pill form, why?

A

If placed underneath the tongue, the drug will be absorbed through the circulatory system without going through the hepatic portal system. If taken in pill form, the liver will turn the drug into something useless

67
Q

What condition can cause this: blood pressure raised due to resistance of diseased liver? What does the body do to compensate?

A

Portal hypertension. alternate routes around the hepatic portal vein via portal-caval anatomoses

68
Q

What condition can cause this: esophageal varices?

A

esophageal anatomosis (if burst, the blood can drown the individual)

69
Q

What condition can cause this: hemorrhoids?

A

rectal anatomosis

70
Q

What condition can cause this: caput medusa?

A

umbilical anastomosis

71
Q

Secondarily retroperitoneal regions of the colon have anastomoses between portal vein and body wall veins

A

colonic anastomosis - generally no symptoms

72
Q

Generally, ____ act to innervate blood vessels and inhibit parasympathetics

A

sympathetics

73
Q

Visceral afferents travel with the ___ ___ fibers

A

sympathetic motor

74
Q

____ act to promote peristalsis and some secretions

A

parasympathetics

75
Q

What spinal nerve levels provide innervations at the foregut?

A

T5 - T9

76
Q

Describe the pathway of spinal nerve through the foregut

A

presynaptics –> synaptic chain –> greater splanchnic n –> synapse in celiac ganglia –> postsynaptics follow celiac trunk –> target organs

77
Q

What nerve is responsible for parasympathetics in the foregut?

A

vagus

78
Q

Describe the journey of the parasympathetics at the foregut

A

from the brain –> pass through Vagus –> celiac plexus (without synapsing) –> target organ –> synapses in ganglia in gut plexuses –> postsynaptics reach targets via short postsynaptic fibers

79
Q

What spinal nerve levels provide sympathetic innervations at the midgut?

A

T10 - T12

80
Q

Describe the pathway of sympathetic fibers through the midgut

A

presynaptics –> synaptic chain –> lesser splanchnic and least splanchnic n –> synapse in superior mesenteric ganglion –> postsynaptics follow SMA –> target organs

81
Q

Describe the pathway of parasympathetic fibers through the midgut

A

Same as foregut, instead of celiac plexus and celiac trunk, it passes through superior mesenteric plexus and SMA

82
Q

What spinal nerve levels provide sympathetic innervations at the hindgut?

A

L1 - L2

83
Q

Describe the pathway of sympathetic fibers through the hindgut

A

passes through lumbar splanchnic nerves, synapses in inferior mesenteric ganglion and follow IMA

84
Q

Describe the pathway of parasympathetic fibers through the hindgut

A

Arise from S2-S4 (not vagus) –> pelvic splanchnic nerves –> hypogastric plexus and inferior mesenteric plexus –> IMA –> the rest is the same as foregut and midgut

85
