Q

What is known as the immune organ?

A

spleen

20
Q

Where is the spleen located?

A

on left side with greater sac (LUQ)

21
Q

What is the immune function of the spleen?

A
  • filters blood
  • open circulation -> blood leaves capillaries; blood cells travel across open space
  • blood cells enter spleen -> closed circulation
22
Q

What are both an endocrine and exocrine organ?

A

pancreas & liver

23
Q

What is the exocrine function of the pancreas?

A

secretes enzymes into descending duodenum

24
Q

What is the endocrine function of the pancreas?

A

secretes hormones into blood

25
Q

What are the 4 segments of the pancreas?

A

head, neck, body, tail

26
Q

What is the main pancreatic duct?

A
  • connects with common bile duct
  • forms hepatopancreatic ampulla
  • drains bile + pancreatic fluids -> major papilla
27
Q

What is the ampulla of vater?

A
  • surrounded by sphincter of Oddi
  • located in descending duodenum

high yield

28
Q

What is the accessory of pancreatic duct?

A
  • sup. to main duct
  • drains pancreatic fluids -> minor papilla
29
Q

What is the blood flow of the liver?

A
  • portal vein = 75% (deoxy blood from intestines, spleens, pancreas)
  • hepatic art. = 25% (oxy blood to the liver)
30
Q

What is the exocrine function of the liver?

A

produces + stores bile in galbladder

31
Q

What is the endocrine function of the liver?

A

produces plasma proteins to relase into blood

32
Q

What is the portal triad of the liver?

A
  • hepatic art.
  • portal vein
  • bile duct
33
Q

What suspends the liver from the diaphragm?

A

coronary ligament

high yield

34
Q

What is the porta hepatis of the liver?

A

contains all the vessels going in & out of liver

35
Q

What is the bay area of the liver?

A
  • site where there is NO peritoneum
  • lies directly against diaphragm
36
Q

What is the triangular ligament of the liver?

A

continuation of coronary ligament

37
Q

What divides the liver into left & right lobes?

A

falciform ligament

38
Q

What is the ligamentum teres in the liver?

A

continuation of falciform ligament

39
Q

What is the function of the galbladder?

A

concentrates & stores bile

40
Q

Where does the galbladder secrete bile into?

A

major papilla

41
Q

What is the cystic duct in the galbladder?

A
  • contributes to common bile duct
  • merges with hepatic duct
42
Q

What is obstructive jaundice?

A
  • caused by obstruction of common bile duct
  • due to gallstones or pancreatic cancer
  • result: retention of bile -> pigment stains sclera yellow (eyes)
43
Q

What is Cirrhosis?

A
  • caused by alcohol toxicity, viral infection, autoimmune disease
  • increased production of fibrocollagenous tissue leads to irregular scarring
44
Q

What are gallstones?

A
  • form in galbladder or biliary tree
  • bile duct -> obstructive jaundice
  • cystic duct -> cholecystitis
45
Q

What are the parts of the stomach?

A
  • cardia = connects stomach to esophagus
  • fundus= 1st sgement
  • body= 2nd segment
  • pylorus= 3rd segment
  • pyloric sphincter= connects to duodenum
  • gastric rugae= int. folding of stomach
