Abdominal Cavity II lecture i Flashcards
the spleen is the largest _
lymphatic organ
the spleen lies against the _ in the _ quadrant
diaphragm in lt hypochondriac region (lt upper quadrant)
t/f: ligaments of the spleen contain blood vessels
true
ligaments of the spleen: (2)
- gastrosplenic
2. splenorenal
gastrosplenic ligament connects
connects spleen to stom
splenorenal ligament connects
connects spleen to lt kidney
spleen surface feats: hilum
area where the splenic artery and vein enter and leave the spleen
spleen surface feats: gastric area
surface impression where stom contacts spleen
spleen surface feats: renal area
surface impression where lt kidney contacts spleen
spleen surface feats: colic area
surface impression where colon contacts spleen
spleen arterial blood supply: the _ artery follows a tortuous course along the superior border of the pancreas to the spleen
the splenic artery, a branch of the celiac trunk
spleen arterial blood supply: btwn the layers of the splenorenal ligament, the _ divides into five or more branches that enter the hilum
splenic artery
spleen venous drainage: the splenic vein, having first received the _ vein, meets the _ vein to form the _
splenic vein, having first received the inferior mesenteric vein, meets the superior mesenteric vein to form the hepatic portal vein
the pancreas is a _ organ lying posterior to the _, btwn the duodenum on the (rt/lt?) and the spleen on the (rt/lt?)
the pancreas is a RETROPERITONEAL ORGAN lying posterior to the STOM, btwn the duodenum on the RT and the spleen on the LT
the 4 regions of the pancreas
- head
- neck
- body
- tail
pancreas: lies in the C-shaped curve of the _ to the rt of the _ vessels
lies in the C-shaped curve of the duodenum to the rt of the superior mesenteric vessels
pancreas’ uncinate process is a projection from the inferior part of the _ that extends to the lt, posterior to the _ vessels
projection from the inferior part of the pancreatic head that extends to the lt, posterior to the superior mesenteric vessels
the _ traverses the pancreatic head
bile duct
pancreas: neck lies atop the _ artery and vein
lies atop the superior mesenteric artery and vein
pancreas body extends leftward from the neck and passes over the _
extends leftward from the neck and passes over the aorta
the pancreatic body’s anterior surface is covered by
peritoneum
the pancreatic body’s posterior surface is devoid of _ and is in contact with: (4)
devoid of peritoneum and is in contact w/ aorta, superior mesenteric artery, left suprarenal (adrenal) gland, and lt kidney
pancreas tail extends from the body to the _ of the spleen
extends from the body to the hilum of the spleen
pancreas arterial blood supply comes from:
mostly from branches of celiac trunk ie multiple branches of splenic artery and superior (2) and inferior (2) pancreaticoduodenal arteries
