Abdominal Contents Flashcards
What is contained in the foregut
Abdominal esophagus Stomach Liver 1/2 duodenum Pancreas Spleen Celiac artery
What is contained in the midgut
1/2 duodenum Jejunum Ileum Proximal 1/2 colon Superior mesenteric artery
What is contained in the hind gut
Distal 1/2 colon
Inferior mesenteric artery
What is contained in the posterior abdominal cavity
Kidneys
Supradrenal glands
Neurovascular bundle
When does rotation of the gut happen
3rd month gestation
What happens in the rotation of the foregut
90 degrees rotation clockwise
L vagus plexus to anterior
R vagus plexus to posterior
Formation of lesser peritoneal sac
What happens with rotation of midgut
Rotates and elongates rapidly around superior mesenteric artery
270 degrees counterclockwise
What happens if midgut rotation stops at 180 degrees
Appendix is under liver and pain is around McBurney’s point
Splanchnic nerves are mixed
Does the hindgut rotate
No, just elongates slowly
What is the omentum ligament
Folding of visceral peritoneum
Greater= from greater curvature to transverse colon
Lesser= from lesser curvature to liver
What is the mesentery, mesocolon, ligament falciform
Folding of parietal peritoneum
Attach organs to abdominal wall and provide neuromuscular bundle
What are the intraperitoneal organs
Organs that are completely surrounded by visceral peritoneum
Esophagus, stomach, jejunum, ileum, appendix, transverse colon, cecum, sigmoid colon
MOBILE
What are the retroperitoneal organs
Organs outside the parietal peritoneum
SAD PUCKER
ORGANS FIXED INTO LOCATION
What are secondary retroperitoneal organs
Some digestive organs are spinned out of visceral peritoneum
3/4 duodenum
Pancreas
Ascending and descending colon
What are the primary retroperitoneal organs
Other organs that originate outside of the peritoneal cavity
Distal rectum Kidneys, ureters Adrenal glands Great vessels, IVC, AA testes before descending
What is the one primary retroperitoneal organ that spins into intraperitoneal
Spleen
Bad temper in Chinese
What is the blueprint for the foregut
Abdominal esophagus Stomach Liver 1/2 duodenum Pancreas Spleen
What is the blood supply for the foregut
Celiac trunk
What is the blueprint for the midgut
1/2 duodenum Jejunum Ileum Appendix Cecum Ascending colon 2/3 transverse colon
What is the blood supply for midgut
Superior mesenteric artery
What is blueprint for hindgut
1/3 transverse colon Descending colon Sigmoid colon Rectum Anus
Blood supply for hindgut
Inferior mesenteric artery
What is in the greater peritoneal sac
Intraperitoneal organs
What is in the lesser peritoneal sac
Empty
Recess bounced by greater and lesser omentum
What is the omentum foramen
Connects greater and lesser sacs
Forman of Winslow
Contains hepatoduodendal ligament- hepatic artery proper, hepatic portal vein, common bile duct
What are the branches of the celiac trunk
Splenic artery, common hepatic artery, L gastric artery
What are the branches of the splenic artery
Short gastric artery
L gastroepiploic artery
What are the branches of the common hepatic artery
Gastroduodendal artery
R gastric artery, anastomosis along lesser curvature of stomach
Hepatic artery proper
What are the branches of gastroduodenal artery
Supraduodendal artery
Superior pancreaticoduodendal artery ant/post
R gastroepiploic artery
What are the branches of hepatic artery proper
R/L hepatic artery
Cystic artery from R hepatic artery
What are the sphincters in the esophagus
Gastroesophageal sphincter= internal/external sphincters
Thick circular smooth muscle
Internal esophageal sphincter
R/L crus of diaphragm
External esophageal sphincter
What is squamocolumnar junction
Transition from squamous cells (ectoderm) to columnar (endoderm)
What will the malfunction of the gastroesophageal sphincter result in
GERD
What is a fundus
Farthest part from the distal opening of a hollow organ
What is the blood supply of the lesser curvature of the stomach
Right gastric artery from common hepatic artery
Left gastric artery from celiac artery
What is the blood supply to the greater curvature of the stomach
Right gastro-omental/epiploic artery from gastroduodenal
Left gastro-omental/epiploic artery from splenic artery
What is the blood supply to the fundus of the stomach
Short gastric arteries from splenic artery
Trabecular branches
What is partial splenectomy
Reserve partial functions and support stomach
What is the function of the stomach
Digestion
Intrinsic factor for B12 absorption
Limited absorption for meds, alcohol, nicotine
Pathway for B12
Binding B12
Transport to ileum
Crosses epithelium
Releases B12 to blood to bind with transbalamin II
What is caused by a lack of B12 and who is most susceptible
Anemia and vegetarian
What are the lobes in the anterior liver and what separates them
R and L
Falciform ligament
