Q

Clinical Significance of inguinal Triangle

A

Common site for abdominal hernia to push into anterior abdominal wall

17
Q

Direct vs. Indirect Inguinal Hernia

A

Direct - hernaition through local weakness in abdominal wall and only traverses the superficial inguinal ring

Indirect - herniation of the abdominal contents through the deep inguinal ring, inguinal canal, & superficial inguinal ring into the anterolateral wall and follows spermatic cord

18
Q

Inguinal vs. Femoral Hernia

A

Inguinal - superior & medial to pubic tubericle

Femoral - inferior & lateral to pubic tubericle

19
Q

Abdominal Hernia Types (4)

A
  • Umbilical (especially in babies)
  • Epigastric
  • Semilunar
  • Incisional
20
Q

Tubular Gastrointestinal Tract (13)

A

Mouth, Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum, Ascending colon, Transverse colon, Descending colon, Sigmoid colon, Rectum, Anus

21
Q

Accessory Organs of Digestive System

A
  • Salivary glands
  • Liver
  • Gallbladder
  • Pancreas
22
Q

Bare Area of Liver

A
  • Not covered by peritoneum
  • Common area for infection spreading
23
Q

Spleen (3)

A
  • Recylcles old red bloof cells
  • Suscepitble to damage by blow to left abdomen
  • If it ruptures there will be lots of bleeding
24
Q

Hiatal Hernia

A
  • Cardiac portion of stomach moves into the thorax via esophageal hiatus in diaphragm
25
Q

Peptic Ulcers

A
  • Breach in mucosal lining due to stomach acid
26
Q

Gastric Carcinoma

A
  • Malignant cells in lining of stomach lining
27
Q

Gall Stones

A
  • Concretions of bile in gallbladder
28
Q

Biliary Tree

A
  • System of ducts that drain the bile produced by the liver to the to the gallbladder for storage and to the duodenum to enter the digestive tract
29
Q

Surface Area in Small Intestine

A
  • More in Jejunum and less in Ileum
  • More nutrients avaliable in food in first part of small intestine compared to last
30
Q

Formation & Purpose of Haustra

A

Formation - bunched up portions of colon due to shorter Taeniae Coli causing it to gather

Purpose - increases surface area to maximize water absorbtion from feces

31
Q

Portacaval Anastamoses

A
  • Sites that allows venous drainage back to inferior vena cava and hepatic portal
  • Occurs when blood return through liver becomes obstructed
