A

Beings at the tail of the pancreas

In the lower head it combines with the common bile duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of vater)

Q

What is the lymphatic drainage of the pancreas?

Pyloric nodes

21
Q

What are the two surfaces of the liver?

A

Diaphragmatic Surface - anterosuperior surface of the liver which is smooth and convex

Visceral Surface - posteroinferior surface of the liver, moulded by the shape of the surrounding organs

22
Q

What is the bare area of the liver?

What is it bounded by?

A

Part of the liver on the diaphragmatic surface where there is no intervening peritoneum between the liver and the diaphragm

Bounded by the anterior coronary and posterior coronary ligament

23
Q

What are the three hepatic recesses?

A

Subphrenic space (left and right) - located between the diaphragm and the liver
Subheptic space - located between inferior surface of liver and transverse colon
Hepatorenal recess - located between the right side of liver and the right kidney

24
Q

What is another name for the hepatorenal recess?

A

Morison’s Pouch

25
Q

What is the falciform ligament?

What is it a remnant of?

A

Ligament attached to the anterior surface of the liver to the anterior abdominal wall, divides the left and right lobes

Free edge contains the ligamentum teres - remnant of the umbilical vein

26
Q

What is the fibrous layer that covers the liver called?

A

Glisson’s capsule

27
Q

What are the four lobes of the liver?

A

Right
Left
Caudate
Quadrate

28
Q

What is the ligamentum venosum a remnant of?

A

The fetal ductus venousus

29
Q

What is the portal triad composed of?

A

Branch of hepatic artery entering the liver
Branch of hepatic portal vein entering the liver
Branch of bile duct leaving the liver

30
Q

Which two veins combine to make the portal vein?

Where does this occur?

A

Splenic vein and Superior mesenteric

Occurs at the level of L2 posterior to the neck of the pancreas

31
Q

What is the blood supply to the liver

A

Hepatic artery proper (25%)

Hepatic portal vein (75%)

32
Q

What is the venous drainage of the liver?

A

Left and right hepatic veins - drain into the inferior vena cava

33
Q

What is the purpose of portacaval anastomoses?

A

If portal circulation to the liver is obstructed, then blood can return to the heart via the systemic circulation

34
Q

What are the four site of portacaval anastomoses?

A

Inferior oesophagus
Upper anal canal
Secondary retroperitoneal structures
Paraumbillical area of anterior abdominal wall

35
Q

Describe the portacaval anastomoses at the inferior oesophagus

A

Portal drainage - left gastric vein into portal vein

Systemic drainage - azygos vein into IVC

36
Q

Describe the portacaval anastomoses at the upper anal canal

A

Portal drainage - superior rectal veins drain into portal system
Systemic drainage - middle and inferior rectal veins drain int internal iliac and internal pudendal which drain into IVC

37
Q

Describe the portacaval anastomoses at the umbilicus

A

Portal drainage - paraumbilical veins drain into portal system
System drainage - superficial epigastric veins drain into axillary or femoral veins which drain into IVC

38
Q

What is the lymphatic drainage from the liver

A 
Hepatic lymph nodes (lie in the lesser omentum)
Drain into coeliac lymph nodes
Drain into intestinal trunk 
Drain into cysterna chyli
Drain into thoracic duct
39
Q

What is the storage capacity of the gall bladder?

A

30-50mL

40
Q

Where does the gall bladder lie?

A

On the visceral surface of the right lobe of the liver in a fossa between the right and quadrate lobes

41
Q

What are the three parts of the gall bladder?

A

Fundus
Body
Neck

42
Q

What is Hartmann’s pouch?

A

A mucosal fold located in the neck of the gall bladder, where gallstones commonly become lodged

43
Q

Describe the route of bile through the Biliary tree

A

Begins at the left and right hepatic ducts
Unite to form common hepatic duct
Unite with cystic duct from gall bladder to form common bile duct
Combine with pancreatic duct to form ampulla of vater
Empties into duodenum at major duodenal papilla

44
Q

How is secretion of bile controlled?

A

By CCK release from enteroendocrine cells in duodenum - which is triggered by presence of fat in duodenum
This causes sphincter of oddi to relax
It also causes gall bladder to contract

45
Q

What is the arterial supply of the gall bladder

A

Cystic artery - branch of right hepatic artery

46
Q

What is the venous drainage of the gall bladder?

A

Dependant on area of the gall bladder:
Fundus and body - drain into hepatic sinusoids
Neck and cystic duct - drain into cystic vein

47
Q

What is the lymphatic drainage of the gall bladder?

A

Cystic node

48
Q

Where is the quadrate lobe found?

A

In between the left lobe and the gall bladder
