abdominal cavity 2- overview of supporting systems Flashcards
what type of muscle is present at the esophagus at the pharyngeal end? Gastric end?
- pharyngeal end- striated muscle (voluntary)
- gastric end- smooth- involuntary
where does the esophagus enter the diaphragm?
at the esophageal hiatus and joins with the esophagogastric junction
what are the 5 divisions of the duodenum?
-superior
-terminal slip
-descending
-horizontal
-ascending
all are secondarily retroperitoneal EXCEPT for SUPERIOR AND TERMINAL SLIP THAT ARE INTRAPERITONEAL
what’s the duodenum? what is important about the duodenum?
-first and shortest portion of the small intestine (20-23 ft)
-it is were all of the ducts excrete things from liver, gall bladder and pancreas
(makes sense since it is the first part of the small intestine and wanna get lubricated early)
jejunum
- follows the duodenum of the small intestine and starts where the small intestine becomes free from secondary (retroperitoneal) adhesion to the peritoneum (no adhered mesentery)
- runs 40% of length between the duodenum and cecum and blends into ileum
- intraperitoneal
Ileum
- last remaining 60% of the small intestine between the jujunum and the cecum
- intraperitoneal
how do you distinguish large intestine from small?
large intestine has
- taenia coli- line thru intestine
- haustra- bubble pouches
- epiploic appendages- fatty droplets
Cecum
- distal portion of the large intestine where
appendix attaches
-intraperitoneal
ascending colon
- attaches to cecum of the large intestine and forms right paracolic gutter
- secondarily peritoneal
transverse colon
- between left and right colic flexures
- fuses with greater omentum (makes sense since the greater omentum lies under stomach)
- intraperitoneal
descending colon
- secondarily retroperitoneal
- forms left paracolic gutter
rectum
- fixed portion of large intestine
- primarily retroperitoneal
- where hold feces before allowed to move body
what three main arteries come off of the celiac trunk
1) common hepatic
2) left gastric
3) splenic
what does the left gastric artery supply?
the proximal portion of the lesser curvature of the stomach
what are the branches of the splenic artery and what do they supply?
1) pancreatic artery- pancreas
2) short gastric artery- stomach
3) gastro-omental artery- greater curvature of the stomach
what are the three branches of the common hepatic artery and what do they supply?
- gastroduodenal -gives rise to several arteries
- right gastric artery- goes to the lesser curvature of the stomach
- proper hepatic artery- has a couple branches
what are the branches of the gastroduodenal artery and what do they supply?
- right gastro-omental artery- goes to the right side of the greater curvature of the stomach
- superior pancreaticoduodenal artery- goes to stomach, pancreas and head of duodenum and enastemoses with inferior duodenal (branch of superior mesenteric)
- supraduodenal artery goes to superior duodenum (sometimes absent)
