abdominal contents exam 3 anatomy Flashcards
what does parietal peritoneum line?
- lines internal aspect of abdominopelvic wall
somatic sensory innervation of parietal peritoneum
nerves of abdominal wall (localized pain)
what does visceral peritoneum do?
invests the organs
visceral and somatic sensory of the visceral peritoneum
- visceral- stretch, ischemia
- somatic sensory- doesnt have
what is the peritoneal cavity and what does it contain?
- potential space between parietal and visceral peritoneum
- contains thin layer of fluid NO ORGANS
What is ascites?
collection of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
in which sex is the peritoneal cavity open and which is it closed?
females-open
males-closed
what is the retroperitoneal space and what does it contain?
- space between parietal peritoneum and muscles of posterior abdominal wall
- contains= fat, vessels, some organs
what are primarily retorperitoneal organs?
organs that lie deep to the peritoneum in the retroperitoneal space
never had messentary to begin with
intraperitoneal organs
completely covered by the visceral peritoneum and are mobile (stomach)
maintain messentery
secondarily retroperitoneal organs
- organs pressed against the posterior body wall
- losing mobility
lose messentery so lose mobility
waht are messenteries?
- two layers of peritoneum
- suspend organs
- nerves/vessel travel between layers
what are two messenteries associated with the stomach?
greater and lesser omentum
function of the greater omentum
forms adhesions to wall off inflamed organs in order to protect adjacent viscera
what ligaments make up the lesser omentum?
- hepatogastric ligament
- hepatoduodenal ligament
-in the hepatoduodenal ligament is the portal triad
portal triad made up of portal vein, proper hepatic artery, bile duct
what makes up the portal triad?
- portal vein
- proper hepatic artery
- bile duct
what are the greater and lesser sacs and their function
sacs formed by the greater and lesser omentume where fluid accumulates to
what is the omental (epiploic) foramen?
opening deep to the hepatoduodenal ligament that serves as communication between the greater and lesser sac
derivates of the foregut
esophagus, stomach, proximal duodenum, liver, gallbkadder, pancreas
blood supply, venous drainage, and lymphatics of the foregut
- blood supply=celiac trunk
- venous drainage=gastric veins, splenic vein
- lymphatics=celiac lymph nodes
primarily retroperitoneal organs
esophagus, rectum, kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands
secondarily retroperitoneal organs
examples
- 2nd and 3rd part and 4th of duodenum
- ascending colon
- descending colon
- pancreas
describe the esophageal arterial supply
the top part is from the thoracic aorta but the abdominal section is supplied by the abdominal aorta
what kind of hernias can happen in the esophagus?
hiatal hernias
what abdominal plane should the pyloric sphincter be located at?
transpyloric plane (L1)
what part of the duodenum is in the foregut?
superior and descending part
what part of the duodenum is in the midgut?
horizontal and ascending part
what are the 3 parts of the pancreas?
head, body, tail
what is enlargement of the liver called?
hepatomegaly?
the liver is deep to what ribs?
ribs 7-11
what does the falciform ligament do?
divides liver into R/L
how many segments of the liver are there?
8
what do hepatic veins carry and where?
they carry detoxed blood back to IVC
what is the function of hepatocytes?
these are in the liver
produce bile and detox blood
