33
Q

what does IMA supply?

A

the descending and sigmoid colon and the superior rectum

34
Q

what does the SMA arise from?

A

the abdominal aorta at the level of L1- posterior to the neck of the pancreas; then passes inferiorly to the anterior horizontal portion of the duodenum

35
Q

what is the first thing that branches off of the SMA?

A

the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery

36
Q

what does the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery branch into?

A

branches into the anterior and posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries

37
Q

what do the anterior and posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries anastamose with?

A

the anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries

38
Q

what do the anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries branch from?

A

the gastroduodenal artery (which comes from the celiac trunk)

39
Q

besides the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, what else branches off of the SMA?

A

jejunal branches, ileum branches, ileocolic artery, right colic artery, and middle colic artery

40
Q

where does the IMA come from?

A

it branches off the abdominal aorta at the L3 level

41
Q

what branches off the IMA?

A

left colic artery, sigmoidal artery, the superior rectal artery

42
Q

what is the anastomosis between the SMA and the IMA known as?

A

marginal artery

43
Q

the superior rectal artery will anastamose with what other blood supply to the rectum?

A

the middle rectal artery and the inferior rectal artery

44
Q

what does the middle rectal artery come from?

A

it is a branch of the internal iliac artery

45
Q

what does the inferior rectal artery come from?

A

branch of the internal pudendal artery

46
Q

venous return from the peritoneal viscera is eventually drained into what?

A

the hepatic portal vein

47
Q

where does the hepatic portal vein begin?

A

where the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein join together

48
Q

why is the venous supply sent to the liver?

A

it processes the nutrients from our digestive system and it filters the toxins before we send it into systemic circulation

49
Q

where does the portal venous system have anastomoses with the systemic system at?

A

the gastroesophageal plexus, the umbilicus, and the rectal venous plexus

50
Q

when do varicosities occur?

A

due to decreased blood flow through the liver (e.g. when there is hepatic hypertension)

51
Q

what do the thoracic splanchnics do?

A

they carry presynaptic axons from the spinal cord to postsynaptic neurons that are located in aortic collateral ganglia

52
Q

what nerve fibers do the greater splachnics carry?

A

presynaptic axons from T5-T9

53
Q

where do the greater splachnics travel?

A

to the celiac ganglion

54
Q

what nerve fibers do the the lesser splanchnics carry?

A

presynaptic axons from T10-T11

55
Q

where do the lesser splanchnics travel?

A

to the superior mesenteric ganglion

56
Q

what nerve fiber does the least splanchnic carry?

A

presynaptic axons from T12

57
Q

where does the least splanchnic travel?

A

to the aorticorenal ganglion

58
Q

Where do the lumbar splanchnics (L1 and L2) travel?

A

to the inferior mesenteric ganglion

59
Q

where do the lumbar splanchnics (L3, L4, L5) travel?

A

to the inferior hypogastric plexus/ganglion

60
Q

what do the sacral splanchnics do?

where do the post-synaptic sympathetic axons from the celiac ganglion target?

A

gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, liver

62
Q

where do the post-synaptic sympathetic axons from the superior mesenteric ganglion target?

A

small intestine, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, and transverse colon

63
Q

where do the post-synaptic sympathetic axons from the aorticorenal ganglion target?

A

kidney and the suprarenal glands

64
Q

where do the post-synaptic sympathetic axons from the inferior mesenteric ganglion target?

A

descending colon, sigmoid colon, and the rectum

65
Q

where do the post-synaptic sympathetic axons from the hypogastric plexus/ganglion target?

A

the rectum, anus, and pelvic organs

66
Q

where are the postsynaptic neurons found for the parasympathetics?

A

in the walls of the organs

67
Q

the vagus nerve carrying presynaptic parasympathetic fibers will pass through what?

A

celiac ganglion and superior mesenteric ganglion

68
Q

what nerve fibers do the pelvic splanchnics carry?

A

S2-S4

69
Q

where do the pelvic splanchnics travel to and pass through?

A

the hypogastric plexus/ganglion and then travel into the anus, rectum, descending colon, and sigmoid colon

70
Q

what are the sacral splanchnic nerves associated with?

A

spinal nerves S1-S5

71
Q

what artery does the post synaptic neurons from the inferior hypogastric plexus/ganglion travel with to reach the pelvic viscera and perineum?

A

the internal iliac artery

72
Q

What are the two types of referred pain?

A

somatic afferent pain or visceral afferent pain

73
Q

what is somatic afferent pain?

A

it is due to the organs that are inflamed irritating the parietal peritoneum and the brain interprets the pain as though the irritation occurred in the skin of the region supplied by the same sensory ganglia and spinal cord segments as that region of the affected peritoneum

74
Q

how can somatic afferent pain be described?

A

acute and well-localized

75
Q

what is visceral afferent pain?

A

pain from the organ itself; pain is transmitted via splanchnic nerves to spinal cord
