Location: RUQ

20
Q

Transverse Colon

A

The largest and most mobile of the large intestine.

Location: Right/Left hypochondriac, right lumbar, Epigastric and Umbilical.

Blood Supply:
Middle Colic

21
Q

Left Colic Flexure (splenic flexure)

A

More superior and acute and less mobile.

Location: LUQ

22
Q

Descending colon

A

Passes retroperitoneally fromt he left colic flexure into the left iliac fossa where it continues as the Sigmoid colon.

Feces formed here

Location: LUQ, LLQ

Blood Supply:
Inferior Mesenteric, Left Colic, Sigmoid Artery,

23
Q

Sigmoid Colon

A

S-shaped, link the descending colon and rectum.

Feces formed here.

Location: LLQ

Blood Supply:
Sigmoid Artery

24
Q

Rectum

A

fixed terminal part of large intestine, continous with the sigmoid colon @ S3.

Location: LLQ/RLQ

Blood Supply:
Superior Rectal artery

25
Pancreas
Elongated accessory digestive gland. produces exocrine secretion which enters the duodenum and endocrine secretions which enter the blood. Location: LUQ Blood Supply: Gastroduodenal, Hepatic artery proper, splenic, celiac trunk
26
Kidneys

28
Suprarenal glands (adrenal)
2 parts: Suprarenal cortex- secretes corticosteroids and androgens Suprarenal medulla- secretes epinephrine (adrenalin) and norepinephrine (noradrenalin). located between the superomedial aspects of the kidneys and diaphragmatic crura. Location: Epigastric
29

32
Left Gastric
Origin: Celiac Trunk Supplies: Distal portion of Esophagus and left portion of lesser curvature of stomach.
33
Splenic
Origin: Celiac Trunk Supplies: Body of Pancreas, spleen, and greater curvature of stomach; posterior gastric branch supplies posterior wall of fundus of stomach
34
