23
Q

Where does the pylorus of the stomach lie

A

Lies at the transpyloric plane, L1 (2.5cm left the midline). Left hypochondriac and epigastric

24
Q

Describe the duodenum

A

GOES AROUND UMBILICUS
1st part of the duodenum – lies at the transypyloric plane. 2nd part runs downwards to reach the subcostal plane (5cm lateral to midline). 3rd part, crosses midline just above umbilicus. Ends just to left of midline at L2/3 level. 4th part at level of L2 (2.5cm left of midline).

25
Q

Where are the appendix and caecum found

A

Umbilical region.
Appendix, caecum – Right iliac and hypogastric regions. Caecum in right iliac fossa – close to inguinal ligament. Appendix – McBurney’s point (1/3rd between ASIS and umbilicus)

26
Q

Where is the ascending colon

A

Right lumbar

27
Q

Where is the descending colon

A

Left lumbar

28
Q

Where is the urinary bladder

A

Hypogastric region

29
Q

Describe the surface anatomy of the liver

A

Upper border – follows diaphragm – line runs from right 5th rib, across lower end of the sternum, to left 5th ICS in mid-clavicular line.
Oblique border – follows right costal margin from right mid-axillary line through tip of right 9th costal cartilage to tip of left 8th costal cartilage and then to left 5th ICS in mid-clavicular line.
Right border – runs from the right costal margin in the right mid-axillary line, ascends upwards along right margin of thoracic cage to the right 5th rib.

30
Q

Describe palpation of the liver

A

light pressure with finger tips below right anterior costal margin. Subject breathes in deeply, fingers are displaced by the anterior border of the liver as the diaphragm pushes it inferiorly

31
Q

Describe the surface anatomy of the gall bladder

A

where transpyloric plane meets right mid-clavicular line (at tip of right 9th costal cartilage). Palpable if enlarged – below right costal margin in mid-clavicular line. Moves down on inspiration. More visible/palpable if patient rolled 45 degrees to the left.

32
Q

Describe the surface anatomy of the spleen

A

lies along 9th, 10th, 11th ribs between erector spinae muscles and mid-axillary line.

33
Q

Describe the surface anatomy of the kidney and ureters

A

Transpyloric plane is roughly the hilum, 4-5 cm from the midline. Right kidney is pushed down by liver. The superior poles are covered posteriorly by the 12th ribs. The inferior poles are 3-4 cm above the iliac crests. Ureters descend vertically from the hila.

34
Q

Palpate the lower poles of kidneys through the anterior abdominal wall

A

Use right hand to palpate kidney through anterior abdominal wall in upper quadrant. Press down deeply just below costal margin – ask subject to take deep breath and try to capture kidney between 2 hands

35
Q

Describe light and deep palpation

A

Light – using the finger tips. Each of the 9 regions.

Deep – flat of the hand rolling, firm steady pressure

36
Q

Where do you percuss the liver

A

Percuss upwards from the right iliac fossa to the right costal margin

37
Q

Describe listening to bowel sounds

A

Listen systematically over all parts of the abdomen – for at least 3 mins before coming to conclusion of an absence.

38
Q

Describe palpation of the abdominal aorta

A

felt pulsing near the lumbar vertebral bodies above the umbilicus just left of midline

39
Q

Map dermatomes T8, 10 and 12

A

T8 above umbilicus
T10 umbilicus
T12 below umbilicus

40
Q

Where is pain from the foregut referred to

A

T5-9 dermatomes, epigastric

41
Q

Where is pain from the midgut referred to

A

Umbilical

42
Q

Where is pain from the hindgut referred to

A

Pubic region

43
Q

Where is pain from the gallbladder/pancreas referred to

A

Shouldertip

44
Q

Where is pain from the appendix referred to

A

T10/umbilical dermatome, localises when the peritoneum is inflamed to 1/3rd between ASIS and umbilicus
