Lymphatic drainage of the stomach
Celiac Nodes
Brings Oxygenated blood to the liver?
Hepatic Artery
Jejunum vs Ileum
Jejunum - few arterial arcades, longer vasa recta
Ileum- more arterial arcades, shorter vasa recta
Hepatodoudenal ligament conducts portal triad? (3)

Arise from T12 , supply foregut and body of spleen?

Arise from L1 , supply midgut
SMA
Arise from L3 , supply hindgut
IMA
Length of esophagus ?
10 inches / 25 cm long
Supplies fundus of stomach ?
Short gastric artery from splenic artery
More fat , many prominent arcades, short vasa recta, and small and widely separated plicae?
Ileum
Larger , more numerous, closely set in the jejunum than ileum?
Valves of Kercking / Plicae circulares
Present in ileum but absent in jejunum?
Peyer’s patches
Anatomical basis of hematemesis, spider nevi and caput medusae? (3)
- Blood from portal venous system is shunted to the periumbilical veins manifesting as dilated paraumbilical collateral veins pattern similar to the head of Medusa.
- As the pressure in the portal vein rises , blood flow in the portocaval anastomoses reverses causing portal blood to enter the systemic circulation.
- Blood flow forms anastomoses at the inferior end of the esophagus to produce esophageal varices.
Cause of ascites? (3)
- Increased pressure in the portal vein results in the increase in the pressure in the splenic and superior and inferior mesenteric veins.
- Fluid is forced out of the capillary beds into the peritoneal cavity.
- Portal hypertension causes protein containing liquid to leak from the surface of the liver to accumulate in the peritoneal cavity.
Methods to reduce portal blood pressure? (2)
- Creating anastomosis from portal vein to inferior vena cava (portocaval anastomosis)
- Creating anastomosis from the splenic vein to the left renal vein (splenorenal anastomosis)
Vascular lesions consisting of central arteriole surrounded by many smaller vessels occurring due to increase in estradiol.

Present in the small intestine but absent in large intestine? (4)
Plicae circulares
Peyer’s patches
