Abdominal Viscera Part 1 Flashcards
What vertebral level will the esophagus traverse the diaphram
T10
What is the vertebral length of the esophagus
C6-T11
What is the esophagogastric junction
junction of the esophagus and stomach (T11); transition from esophageal to gastric tissue
What structures will assist the LES in guarding influx to and from the esophagus
diaphragmatic hiatus
What are the arteries that will supply the esophagus
left gastric artery
left inferior phrenic
Where does the abdominal esophagus drain venous
left gastric vein
Where does the thoracic esophagus drain venous
systemic venous system
What is the function of the stomach
digestion, turn food into chyme
What region is the stomach found in
left hypochondriac region
What is the arterial supply of the stomach
left/right gastric
left/right epiploic
short gastric
Where will venous blood of the stomach drain
splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, portal vein
What is the function of the cardiac sphincter of the stomach
prevents food from regurgitating to the esophagus
What are the two portions of the lesser omentum
hepatoduodenal ligament
hepatogastric ligament
What composes the portal triad
proper hepatic artery
portal vein
common bile duct
Where is the portal triad found
hepatoduodenal ligament
What anatomy neighbors the stomach anteriorly
abdominal wall, left lobe of liver, diaphragm
What anatomy neighbors the stomach posteriorly
pancreas
splenic artery
omental bursa
What is the stomach covered with
visceral peritoneum
What structures compose the stomach bed
pancreas diaphragm left kidney/suprarenal gland spleen transverse colon, mesocolon, splenic artery and vein
Where is the phrenicocolic ligament
attaches from left colic flexure to body wall
What is the function of the phrenicocolic ligament
prevents fluid migration in left paracolic gutter
Describe the muscularis externa portion of the stomach
smooth muscle arranged in 3 layers
oblique, circular, longitudinal
What are the rugae of the stomach
longitudinal folds of mucosa and submucosa that increase surface area for digestion and maceration
Where is the pyloric sphincter located
between stomach and small intestine
What is the function of the pyloric sphincter
controls release of food into duodenum
Where is the duodenal cap found
directly after pyloric sphincter in first part of duodenum
What are the two different types of hernias associated with the stomach
Paraesophageal: herniates next to esophagus
Sliding hernia: herniates through the hiatus
What are the parts of the small intestine
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
