Abdominal Viscera 1 Flashcards
what does peritoneum mean?
peri = around
teino = to stretch
peritoneum means to stretch around viseral organs
What is the peritoneum?
serous membrane that lines/encapsulates the walls of the abdominal and pelvic cavities while covering many organs. It forms a sac that encloses peritoneal cavity
what is the most external layer of the peritoneum?
parietal layer
What is the most internal layer of the peritoneum?
visceral layer
What does the visceral layer surround?
intraperitoneal organ
what is the peritoneal cavity?
empty space between the parietal and the visceral layer of the peritoneum
what is the mesentary
double folding that connects the parietal and visceral peritoneum that leads into intaperitoneal organs
parietal peritoneum
wrap around/lines ab contents and ab wall, inferior diaphragm, pelvic walls, and roof over pelvic viscera (bladder, uterus, scrotum, etc). It lines outer wall of abdominal
parietal
wall
visceral
organ
visceral peritoneum
covers internal organs that are hanging in ab cavity - ie liver, stomach, GI tract `
Greater sac
Bottom of diaphragm to superior pelvis `
Lesser sac
behind the stomac, upward border is diaphrgam, doownward layer is going to be in btw layers of greater omentum
left border is spleen
right border of epiploic foramen of winslow
what separates the greater sac and the lesser sav?
greater omentum from greater curvature of the stomach
epiploic foramen of winslow
only natural communication btw greater sac and lesser sac
borders of epiploic foramen of winslow
anteriror - lesser omentum
Posterior - IVC
Superior - caudate lobe of the liver
Inferior - first part of duodenum
main difference between parietal abd visceral peritoneum
pariteal lines the ab cavity, visceral covers organs
intraperitoneal
things that are completely covered in peritoneum (ie liver, stomach, spleen, jejenum, ilieum). These organs are hung in ab cavitiy by mesentary
Retroperitoneal
organs with their anterior surface covered by peritoneum. along the ab wall. include
S uprarenal/adrenal glands
A bdominal Aorta and IVC
D uodenum (pts 2-4)
P ancreas
U reters
C olon (ascending and descending)
K idneys
E sophagus
R ectum (proximal 1/3)
are the intestines retroperitoneal?
NO! the intestines are intraperitoneal - they are completely covered in peritoneum
IS the kidney retroperiteneal?
Yes! The kidney is partially covered in paritoneum (its anterior surface)
what are the 4 double petioneal folds?
mesentery, lesser omentum, greater omentu,, ligaments
lesser omentum
double folding of peritoneal, hung between the liver and the lesser furve of the stomach
mesentary
abdominal organ made of both layers (pariteal and visceral) of the peritoneum. Function if is to attach inrteperitoneal organs to the ab wall and provide neorovvascular communication between these organs and the ab wall
What is the mesentary?
peritoneal folds that contains viscera and anchor them to posterior abdominal wall
Mesentary of small intestine
mesentery of small intestine
aattachea jejunum and ilium to posterior abdominal wall
Superiorly: attached btw duodenum and jejejunum, terminates at ileocecal junction
contains blood vessels, nerves, and lympatics to the jejejum and the ilium
transverse mesocolon
anchors transverse colon to posterior abdoominal wall, contains blood vessels, nerve, lympatics that supply the transverse colon
sigmoid mesocolon
attached sigmoid colon to the posterirorl ab wall
has a v shaped fold pointing towards division of left common iliac artery
contains sigmoid and rectal vessels
mesoaapendix
attached to inferior end of mesotery proper and extends to the tip of the appendics. Contains vessels that supply the appendix
greater omentum
double fold of peritoneum that hangs off greater curvature of stomach and folds back onto itself to attach to transverse coln
lesser omentum
extends from the lesser curvature of stomach and and the proximal dueodedenum to attach on the liver
how is parietal peritoneum innervated?
segmental nerves (overlying skin and muscles)
phrenic nerves
pain is well localized
visceral peritoneum
visceral afferent, pain is poorly localized
fore gut
extends from abdominal esophagus to the proximal 1/2 of the duodenum - aids with disgestion
foregut contains
Esophagus
Stomach
Liver
Gallbladder
Bile ducts
Pancreas
Proximal duodenum

midgut
distal 1/2 of duodenum to proximal 2/3 of transverse colon. In charge of absorption
Midgut contains
distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 transverse colon

Hindgut
distal 1/3 of transverse colon to proximal anal canal in charge of remoaval
hindgut organs
distal 1/3 of Transverse colon, Descending colon, Sigmoid colon, upper anal canal
T D S Avings
what s artery supplies foregut?
celiac trunk
What artery supplies midgut?
SMA
What artery supplies hindgut?
IMA
what are the arteries that come off the celiac trunk?
Common hepatic artery, Left gastric, Splenic artery
C eliac tunk C So Lit!
what does the common hepatic artery come from?
celiac trunk
what two branches come off the common hepatic?
right gastric and gastroduodenal arteies
what does common hepatic artery turn into?
propre hepatic artery
