Abdomen Somatic (Exam 2) Flashcards
The serous membranes of the abdomen is the peritoneum. What are the 2 parts?
1) parietal peritoneum (lines abdominal wall)
2) visceral peritoneum (lines organs (viscera) in the abdomen
Where is the intraperitoneal region?
within peritoneal cavity
What are the 2 extraperitoneal regions?
retroperitoneal and subperitoneal
Where is the retroperitoneal region found?
between the parietal peritoneum and posterior abdominal wall
Where is the subperitoneal found?
between the parietal peritoneum and pelvic floor
Where is the intraperitoneal region found?
test q
internal to the parietal peritoneum
What is the intraperitoneal region covered with?
test q
visceral serosa (visceral peritoneum)
What is the intraperitoneal region suspended by?
test q
mesentery
What is the serosa?
serous membrane which produces serous fluid
2 types: visceral and parietal
The ___________ is folds (double layer) of peritoneum extending from the parietal peritoneum of the posterior abdominal wall to the visceral peritoneum by embryonic invagination of intraperitoneal organs. It stores fat. Additionally, nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics course through it to supply intraperitoneal organs
mesentery
The stomach has what mesentery?
ventral mesentery (mesogastrium)
The 1st part of the duodenum (SI) has what mesentery?
ventral mesentery
The jejunum and ileum (SI) have what mesentery?
mesentery of SI
The liver and gallbladder have what mesentery?
ventral mesentery (to anterior abdominal wall)
The tail of the pancreas has what mesentery?
dorsal mesentery (to the posterior body wall)
The spleen has what mesentery?
dorsal mesentery
The appendix has what mesentery?
mesoappendix
Does the cecum of the LI have a mesentery?
no
What mesentery does the transverse colon have?
transverse mesocolon
What mesentery does the sigmoid colon have?
sigmoid mesocolon
Where is the extraperitoneal region found?
located external to the parietal peritoneum
Where is the retroperitoneal region found?
test q
between the posterior parietal peritoneum anteriorly and the posterior abdominal walls posteriorly
What does the retroperitoneal region contain?
-duodenum (except 1st part, superior duodenum)
-ascending and descending colon
-kidneys
-adrenal glands
-pancreas (except tail)
-abdominal aorta
-IVC
What is the retroperitoneal region covered with?
adventitia
adventitia is an external layer of fibrous CT of extraperitoneal organs and contains nerves, blood, and lymphatic vessels and firmly attaches organs to surrounding structure
