Abdominal Cavity I lecture ii Flashcards
t/f: falciform ligament divides the liver into the rt and lt lobe
true
ligamentum teres enclosed by the _ and remnant of the _ vein
(round ligament of the liver) enclosed by the falciform ligament; a remnant of the lt umbilical vein
t/f: liver is the largest internal organ
TRUE
the liver lies mainly in the
right upper quadrant of the abdomen
the liver projects
projects left as far as apex of heart
the liver projects inferiorly to midpoint btwn
xiphoid process and umbilicus
the liver is encased in
fibrous capsule and covered by visceral peritoneum
what parts of the liver are not encased
bare area, the fossa for the gallbladder, and the porta hepatis
liver surface: diaphragmatic
dome shaped; related to the concavity of the inferior surface of the diaphragm (mostly superior and anterior); includes bare area
liver surface: visceral
in the anatomical position, directed inferiorly and posteriorly; includes fossa for gallbladder and porta hepatis
porta hepatis
a transverse fissure where the vessels (hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery, and lymphatic vessels) the hepatic nerve plexus, and hepatic ducts that supply and drain the liver enter and leave it
lobes of the liver: rt
the largest lobe; separated from the left lobe by the falciform ligament and the left sagittal fissue
lobes of the liver: lt
smaller than rt but larger than caudate and quadrate
lobes of the liver: caudate
posterior to quadrate on visceral surface
lobes of the liver: quadrate
anterior to caudate; this and the caudate lobe are demarcated by the rt and lt sagittal fissures and the porta hepatis (both caudate and quadrate are part of the rt lobe)
celiac trunk
(arterial blood supply to liver) 1st major branch of the abdominal aorta after it emerges inferior to diaphragm
the celiac trunk gives rise to
3 main branches: splenic a., lt gastric a., and common hepatic a.
the common hepatic a. supplies the
liver, gallbladder, and parts of the stomach, pancreas, and duodenum
what are the 2 sources of blood supplied to the liver
arterial blood and venous blood
common hepatic artery gets renamed the _ as a continuation of arterial blood supplied to the liver which dumps into liver sinusoids
hepatic artery proper
hepatic a. proper
the continuation of the common hepatic a. (beyond branch, the gastroduodenal); gives rise to branches that supply the liver
the hepatic a. proper gives rise to these 2 branches that supply the liver
- right hepatic a.
2. left hepatic a.
