Abdominal viscera II Flashcards
What is the function of the spleen
filter RBC and platelets from circulation
what are the general features of the spleen
ovoid shaped organ
located in LUQ
protected by lower 4 ribs
peritonealized
what lay beneath the spleen
diaphragm and the costodiaphragmatic recess, ribs 9-11
which way does the hilum of the spleen face
anteromedially
describe the differences between the superior.anterior borders of spleen to inferioposterior
superior/anterior- notched and sharp
inferoposterior- smooth
what attaches the stomach to the spleen
gastrosplenic
what attaches spleen to kidney and post wall
splenorenal lig
what does the spleen rest inferiorly on
phrenicocolic ligament
what a supplies the spleen
splenic from the celiac trunk
travles through splenorenal lig to hilum
what is the course of the splenic vein
usually receives inferior mesenteric vein then merges with superior mesenteric vein to form portal vein
describe lymph drainage of the spleen
pacreaticosplenic lymph nodes–>celiac lymph nodes
what causes splenomegaly
anemias and lymphomas
where are accessory spleens found
within the gastrosplenic ligament
what is dangerous about splenic needle insertion
careful not to damage pleural cavity via the costodiaphragmatic recess relationship with the spleen
What are the 2 generalized functions of the pancreas
endocrine and exocrine
describe the exocrine function of the pancreas
secretes pancreatic enzymes into duodenum for digestion
describe the endocrine function on pancreas
secretion of pancreatic hormones into bloodstream from specialized cell sin Islets of langerhans
what do the cells in islets of langerhans secrete
glucagon and insulin
is the pancreas peritonealized or retroperitoneal
retro
What are the external parts of the pancreas
head uncinate process neck body tail
where is the tail of the pancreas
in the splenorenal ligament
Where is the head of the pancreas
right and inferior is the duodenum
posterior is LV1LV2, IVC and renal vessels and bile duct
anterior is the pyloric region of stomach and SI
Where is the uncinate process of the pancreas
posterior to the superior mesenteric vessels
where is the neck of the pancreas
anterior is the transverse mesocolon and SI
posterior is the superior mesenteric a, and the formation of the hepatic portal vein
where is the body of the pancreas
anterior to it is the stomach
posterior is the aortam left suprarenal gland, left kidney, renal vessels
what is the relationship between spleen and pancreas
the tail of the pancreas contacts the hilum of the spleen
What is the path of the main pancreatic duct
beins in tail, travels through pancreas and merges with bile duct to form hepatopancreatic ampulla
empties into second portion of duodenum at major duodenal papilla
what sphincters control release of bile and pancreatic enzymes
sphincter of pancreatic duct
sphincter of bile duct
hepatopancreatic sphincter of Oddi
Where does the accessory pancreatic duct
travels through superior portion of head of pancreas and empties into the 2nd portion of duodenum at the minor duodenal papilla
What 2 main arteries supply pancreas
celiac and superior mesenteric
what are the branches of celiac that supply pancreas
splenic artery gives off dorsal pacncreatic pancreatica magna artery of the tail on pancreas aa gastroduodenal gives of anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal
what are the branches off superior mesenteric a that supply pancreas
anterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal
posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal
where do vv drain from pancreas
hepatic portal vein
describe lymph drainage of pancreas
pancreaticosplenic nodes along splenic a
these then drain to celiac and superior mesenteric lymph nodes
what is a common cause on pancreatitis
reflux of bile through hepatopancreatic ampulaa into the main pancreatic duct
(gallstones cause this)
what can pancreatic cancer cause on bile duct
obstruction that leads to gallbladder enlargement, retention of bile, secondary jaundice
What is the function of the liver
metabolism of bile, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins
production of urea
detox
where does the left lobe of liver exten to
apex of heart
what ribs provide some protection to the liver
ribs 5-11
describe the surfaces of the liver
anterior and superior is smooth and convex for diaphragm
posterior and inferior is smooth and concave for the viscera
What is the porta hepatis
fissure on central portion of posterior inferior surface
entrance for hepatic aa, portal v, bile ducts lymph and nerves
