Q

what organs have dual blood supply and why?

A

Q

Increased pressure in the portal system can lead to what?

A

portal hypertension b/c of no valves in portal system veins

24
Q

portal hypertension may cause?

A

blood to back flow directly into the intestines or into the caval system though one of the four connections
can produce varicose veins in these areas

25

31
Splenic Artery (path and branches)
tortuous path from celiac trunk to spleen multiple branches in pancreas left gastroepiploic artery- branches close to spleen short gastric arteries- to the fundus of stomach

Common Hepatic Artery (path and branches)
ends by dividing into: proper hepatic artery | gastroduodenal artery

Right Gastric- stomach (lesser curvature) Left Hepatic- liver Right Hepatic- liver Cystic- gall bladder
34
Gastroduodenal Artery (branches and what they supply)
Supraduodenal Superior-Pancreaticoduodenal- prancers and duodenu (superior part) Right Gastroepiploic- stomach (greater omentum- greater curvature)
