A 
Jejunum
2/5

Larger diameter 
Thicker walls
Less arcades and longer vasa recta
23
Q

What are the 3 ligaments called that are peritoneal reflections off superior aspect of liver?

A

coronary ligament running across and right and left triangular ligament either side

24
Q

Which ligament attaches the liver to the anterior abdominal wall?

A

Falciform ligament

25
Q

What is in the port hepatic are where are they in reference to each other?

A

Portal vein at back.
Hepatic artery to left
Common bile duct to right

26
Q

Where will you feel an inflamed gall bladder?

A

Fundas will project between lateral border of rectus abdominus and the costal margin

27
Q

Which rib is the axis of the spleen along?

A

Shaft of 10th rib

28
Q

Which branches of the celiac trunk give the right and left gastric and gastroepiploic arteries?

A

Right Gastric: Common hepatic
Left gastric: Left gastric

Right gastroepiploic: Superior pancreaticoduodenal
Left gastroepiploic: Splenic

29
Q

A

Superior mesenteric and splenic

30
Q

Where are some sites of portosystemic anatstamoses? Which systemic vein are they connecting to?

A
  • Abdo oesophaus (via azygous)
  • Anterior abdominal wall (via paraumbilical)
  • Anus (via inferior rectal vein)
31
Q

Where is pain referred to in the GIT? (think how it changes in sigmoid)

A

Via sympathetics:
Foregut T6-T9
Midgut T8-T12
Hindgut (to first half of sigmoid): T12-L2
Hingut (after first half of sigmoid: Via parasympathetics to S2-S4 (as where all hindgut PSN fibres come from)

32
Q

What does the pre and para aortic lymph nodes drain?

A

Pre aortic drain the Anterior branches of abdo aorta

Para drain the lateral and posterior branches as well as the pelvis and lower limb.

33
Q

What 3 things does absorption of an X ray beam in tissues depend on?

A
  1. Thickness
  2. Density
  3. Atomic number
34
Q

How can we improve on the natural differences of X ray absorption?

A

By altering the absorption by inserting a radiographic contrast medium e.g. barium or iodine

35
Q

What does the dopler effect describe? What does a dopler ultrasound allow you to determine?

A

A perceived change in frequency of waves when there is movement between the source and observer of wave.
Can determine velocity of blood flow.

36
Q

How does MRI produce an image?

A

Uses pulses of altered magnetic field to induce momentary change in magnetism (aligns all the protons that were random) creating a radio wave frequency

Q

What divides the right and left lobes of the liver?

A

The middle hepatic vein, running from IVC to gall bladder

  • Surgical neck
  • Mid-shaft
  • Supracondylar
A

Surgical neck: axially
Shaft- Radial
Supracondylar- Median

Q

In which direction and position is the shoulder most prone to dislocation?
Which nerve is endangered?

A

Anterior inferior direction
When abducted and externally rotated
Axillary nerve

44
Q

What is cubits valgus and what nerve is endangered?

A

When the valgus angle goes beyond 15 degrees laterally.

Ulnar nerve in danger.

45
Q

What direction does the interosseous membrane go in?

Which direction does force go in and what is the ring principle?

A

Inferiorly anteriorly from radius to ulnar.
Force goes from radius to ulnar.
Ring principle: fracture of radius commonly associated with fracture of ulnar

46
Q

What can result from a supracondylar fracture of the humerus?

A

Volkman’s ischaemia from obstuction of brachial artery

47
Q

In which position is the elbow most stable?

What is the most common dislocation of the elbow?

A

Extension

Posterior

48
Q

Where the axis of rotation for pronation/supination?

A

From head of radius to styloid process of ulna

49
Q

At the wrist joint what is greater and why?
- Flexion or extension
- Ulnar or radial deviation
What about at intercarpal joint?

A

Flexion as posterior part of radius projects down further
Ulnar deviation cos of radial styloid process

Opposite at intercarpal joint

50
