Abdominal viscera Flashcards
What is the funciton of the esophagus
msucular tube to move food from pharynx to stomach
Where does the esophagus enter the abdomen
TV10
where does the esophagus enter stomach
TV11
What does the phrenicoesophageal ligament do
attach esophagus to diaphragm to allow for independent movement
what structure helps prevent herniation of esophagus into the thorax
the phrenicoesophageal ligament
What are the constrictions of the esophagus
cervical- cricopharyngeus muscles
thoracic- arch of aorta and left primary bronchus
diaphragmatic- diaphragm forms physiological ingerior esophageal sphincter
what does the diaphragmatic constriction of the esophagus prevent against
reflux of food and acid into the esophagus
What aa supply the esophagus
left gastric a
where does the left gastric vein drain into
hepatic portal vein
wehre do the esophagela veins drain into
SVC
where do esophageal lymph drain to
left gastric lymph nodes–> celiac lymph nodes
where are hiatal hernias
herniation of esophagus and or stomach through esophageal hiatus of diaphragm
what is a paraesophageal hiatal hernia
fundus of stomach herniates thorugh esophageal hiatus anterior to esophagus
what is caused by a weakening of the phrenicoesophageal ligaments
sliding of the cardia and fundus of stomach to herniate into thorax
what is the function of the stomach
accumulates and digests food materials
what quadrant is the stomach found int
left upper
what factors influence position of stomach
fullness, body type and gender
what is superior to stomach
diaphragm
what is anteiror to stomach
ventral body wall, diaphragm and left lobe of the liver
what is posterior and inferior to the stomach
omental bursa and stomach bed
what structure make up the stomach bed
diaphragm, spleen, left kidney and suprarenal gland, pancreas and transverse colon with its mesocolon
What are the curvatures of the stomach
greater curvature (left border of stomach) lesser curvature (right border of stomach)
what are the regions of the stomach
cardia, fundus, body and pyloric region
where is the cardia region of the stomach located
anterior to TV11
