Abdomen Flashcards

Abdominal gut tube
Double layer of serous membrane in the peritoneum only suspends part of the gut tube into peritoneal cavity. Serous membrane comes together and sticks to itself.
Mesentery
Organs such as the small intestine, stomach, liver etc are suspended into a celom by a mesentery, are mobile,called________.
Intraperitoneal Organs
What are the two simple mesenteries?
Dorsal and Ventral
Stomach, dorsal body wall and intestines are found in the _______.
Dorsal Mesentery
Ventral body wall, liver, and ventral stomach are found in the ______.
Ventral Mesentery
Rapid growth of the liver and rotation result in the stomach ending up on the _________________ side and the liver moving to the ________________ side of the abdomen.
Left; Right
What are the two ventral mesenteries _________ and _________.
Lesser Omentum and Falciform Ligament
This runs between stomach and liver.
Lesser Omentum
This contains bile duct and hepatic portal vein; removed in dissections.
Falciform Ligament
What are the three dorsal mesenteries _____________ ___________ and __________.
Great Omentum, Mesentery Proper, Tranverse Mesocolon
Certain regions of the gut tube start out as suspended inside a mesentery, but then become adhered to the dorsal body wall. As a result, these gut tube structures are immobile within the peritoneal cavity. They are referred to as being _______.
Retroperitoneal
What are the 3 large midline (unpaired) arteries that branch off the abdominal aorta?
Celiac Trunk, Superior Mesenteric Artery, and Inferior Mesenteric
This artery supplies 6 organs : the stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas spleen duodenum
Celiac Trunk
This artery supplies 7 duodenum to transverse colon
Superior Mesenteric Artery
This artery supplies 2 organs descending colon, sigmoid colon
Inferior Mesenteric Artery
The celiac trunk branches into these three arteries.
Common hepatic, Left gastric, and Splenic artery
_____ supplies the lesser curvature of stomach.
Left gastric artery
Common hepatic branches into two arteries.
Gastroduodenal artery and Hepatic proper
This artery supplies the duodenum and pancreas.
Gastroduodenal artery
This artery supplies liver.
Hepatic Proper Artery
The gastroduodenal branches into the ____.
Right gastroepiploic a
The right gastroepiploic a supplies the ___.
Greater Curvature of the stomach
