Abdomen II Flashcards
Digestive Tract Organs are also known as
Alimentary Canal or Gut tube
What organs are part of Digestive Tract?
Stomach, small intestine (Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum), Large Intestine (Cecum and Colon), Appendix, Rectum and Anal Canal
What are some of the Accessory digestive Organs?
Liver, Gall Bladder (biliary tree), Pancreas, and (Appendix)
What organs does Embryological Foregut contains?
Esophagus to duodenum (until major duodenum papilla) through small intestine and large intestine to proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon
What organs fall under Hindgut?
Distal 1/3 of transverse colon through superior portion of the rectum
What branch of the Abdominal Aorta supplies the foregut?
Celiac Trunk
What branch of the Abdominal Aorta supply the proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon?
Superior Mesentery Artery (SMA)
Blood supply to Hindgut
IMA
if Celiac Trunk falls off, we will most likely to get reduced blood supply in
Foregut (Liver, gallbladder, Spleen, Pancreas*, stomach, and part of the stomach
Damaged to the Inferior Mesenteric Artery will affect the supply to blood to
Hindgut (distal 1/3 of transverse colon, descending colon, Sigmoid colon, and part of the rectum)
if SMA gets cut of, what will be most likely effect of it
no blood supply to Midgut region (duodenum after major papilla, rest of the small intestine, Cecum, dejunum, and proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon)
Organ which gets it blood supply from both Celiac Trunk and SMA?
Pancreas
Blood supply of Esophagus
From Left-Gastric Arteries (branches off Celiac Trunk), and left inferior phrenic artery (branches off of Aorta)
Where is rugae found
Fundus and Body of the stomach which allows the stomach to stretch & accommodate. Also help with churning of the stomach so that the contents come in contact with HCl in there
Opening of the hole to duodenum from Pyloric Canal is called
Phyloric Orifice
Phyloric Constriction
Has little muscle called the phyloric Sphincter. This is a SM that surrounds the tube. When contracts, it constricts the tube. Regulates the amount of time, the content is in the stomach
Angle Incisure
Angle created at the beginning of the Phyloric Region
If a person gets stabbed, where it destroys his left gastric artery, most likely affect will be
Reduced blood supply to lesser curvature of the stomach and some part of the esophagus (Cardia)
Where does the Left Gastric Artery branches off of
Celiac Trunk which is a unpaired branch of the Abdominal Aorta
Common Hepatic Artery branches into
Right Gastric Artery and Gastroduodenal Artery
If right gastric artery is damaged, then there will be reduced blood supply in
rest of the lesser curvature of the stomach, and the Pyloric region.
What supplies the most of inferior portion of the greater curvature of the stomach and phyloric region?
Right Gastro-Omental which branches off of Gastroduodenal Artery
Splenic Artery gives branches to
Left gastro-omental and short gastric arteries
If a person’s Splenic Artery gets cut off, there will be reduced blood supply in
Spleen/Fundus, Most of the greater curvature of the stomach
Majority of the greater curvature of the stomach will be supplied by
Splenic Artery through Left-Gastro Omental Artery
If there is a blockage immediately below Diaphragm, where Celiac Trunk is, what part of body blood supply will it affect the most?
Gastric Arteries, Common Hepatic Artery, and Splenic Artery
Gastroduodenal gives branches to
Right Gastroepiloic (gastroomental) & Superior Pancreaticoduodenal
How does greater curvature of stomach gets its blood supply?
Left-gastro omental branch from the splenic, behind the stomach, and its going to travel along the greater curvature of our stomach
Right-gastro Omentals come from another branch of common hepatic called gastroduodenal
(Left comes from Top & Right comes from the bottom)
Lesser Curvature of the stomach will be supplied mainly by
Left-gastric arteries and little from right gastric arteries
Greater curvature of the stomach is supplied mainly by
Splenic Artery through Short Gastrics and Left Gastro-Omental artery; Also some from right Gastro Omental branching off of Gastroduodenal Artery
Duodenum is divided into how many parts
Superior Part- L1 (from Pyloric orifice to neck of gall bladder)
Descending Part- begins at neck of gall bladder, extends to L3
Inferior Part- L3-crosses Aorta, IVC and Vertebral Column
Ascending Part- L2 (Terminates at duodenojejunal flexure)
Where is Major Duodenal Papilla found and significance of
Major Duodenal Papilla at Descending Part (L2). It is an entrance for bile and pancreatic ducts. Also separation between Foregut and Midgut
What is found DIRECTLY superior to Inferior Duodenum?
Superior Mesenteric Artery and Vein will go on top of the inferior part which is located at L3
Superior Mesentery Syndrome
If we have any issue on Superior Mesentery Artery or in Aorta region, like Aneurysm, it can crush that inferior side of the duodenum.
What is found immediately posterior to Superior mesenteric Artery right above Inferior Duodenum
Aorta
Blood supply to the Superior Portion of the Duodenum
Branches from Gastroduodenal artery or Superior Gastroduodenal Artery. Branches into Supraduodenal Artery, Ant. Sup. Pancreaticoduodenal a., Post. Sup. Pancreaticoduodenal a.
Where does Supraduodenal supply blood to
Its Small artery that branches off of Hepatic Proper and supplies the superior duodenum
If gastroduodenal artery has a blockage, then there be reduced flow in
Right gastro-epiloic (gastroomental) & Superior pancreaticoduodenal
