Abdominal Midgut And Hindgut Flashcards
Jejunum characteristics
Contains mucosal folds = plicae circulares Fat increases is mesentery from distal to proximal A: arterial arcades with long vasa recta form SMA
Ileum characteristics
distal 3/5 of si Small plicae circulares A: compound arterial arcades with short vasa recta from SMA
SMA
Superior Mesenteric A.
Colon features
3 bands of longitudinal SM = Tenia coli Make haustra that have fatty appendages attached (appendices epiplocae)
Cecum
Blind pouch with the ideal papilla (projecting into ileum) + ileocecal valve
Sigmoid
Joins the rectum at S3
Appendix
Small diverticulum or pouch form the cecum Has lymphoid nodules (for immune system) regenerate healthy bacteria
Rectum
Retro peritoneal In pelvic cavity, 3 transverse rectal foldings (superior, middle, inferior) Simple cuboidal
Anal Canal
Has 2 anal sphincters INTERNAL= SM EXTERNAL = Skeletal muscle Has anal columns, valves, and sinuses PECTINATE Line = inferior of the anal valve STRAT SQ
What does the SMA supply
- Ascending Colon 2. Transverse Colon 3. SI + Duodenum 4. Cecum 5. Pancreas
What does the IMA supply
- Descending colon 2. Sigmoid Colon 3. Superior Rectum
What anastomoses from the SMA
Inferior Pancreaticoduodenal Arteries and Gastroduodenal arteries
SMA path
At L1 from Aorta Post to pancreas and ant to inferior duodenum 20% becomes the Right Hepatic A.
What does the SMA branch off to 4
- Jejunal and Ileal A.s (+ Ileocecal A.) 2. Ileocolic A. 3. Right Colic A. (Ascending colon) 4. Middle Colic A. (Transverse colon) * also the Ant/Post Inferior Pancreaticoduodenal A.
What does the IMA branch off to 3
- Left Colic A. (Descending colon) 2. Sigmoidal Colic A. 3. Superior Rectal A.
The Marginal Artery of Drummond
Artery formed by the many anastomoses of the IMA and SMA and provides an alternative route for any vessel obstruction or ischemia to the LI Runs along inner margin of LI
What supplies the superior rectum
Superior Rectal A. From the IMA
What supplies the Middle Rectum
Middle Rectal A. From the Internal Iliac A.
