40
Where is the appendix?
It is at the end of the large intestine there are a lot of places it can lie it is usually roughly in the same place though
41

Part of the cavity folded in on the right side between the liver and the right kidney and right suprarenal gland
42
What divides the liver into the right and left lobes?
Falciform ligament
43
Where i the visceral surfcase of the liver is not covered by peritoneum?
The part where the gall bladder is and the porta hepatis
44
Which lobe of the liver is larger?
The right lobe
45
What are the caudate and quadrate lobes of the liver?
They are separate to the right and left caudate is on lover part of visceral surface of the liver. it is superior to quadrate. caudate is on upper surface of the liver
46
What are the areas of the gall bladder?
The fundus the body and neck.
47
Where is the head of the pancreas?
Within the c shape of the duodenum
48
Where is the neck of the pancreas?
Anterior to superior mesenteric vessels and posterior to the neck of the pancreas the superior mesenteric ans splenic veins join to form the portal vein.
49
Where is the tail of the pancreas?
Ends as it passesbetween the splenorenal ligament.
50
What is the hepatocancreatic ampulla of vater?
The joiming of the bile duct and pancreatic duct
51
What is the major duodenal papilla?
The hole on the inside of the duodenum where the ampulla empties
52
What regulates release from the ampulla of vater?
The sphincter of oddi
53
What are the bile ducts calles?
From the liver there are the right and left hepatic ducts these join to make the common hepatic duct which runs and is joined by the cystic duct from the gall bladder and then becomes the bile duct.
54
What is the blood supply of the spleen?
The ??????
55
What does the abdominal aorta split into?
The common illia arteries at L4
56
What are the abdominal branches of the abdominal aorta?
coeliac trunk superior meseteric and inferior mesenteric trunks.
57
Where is the foregut?
It is from the abdominal esophagus to the major duodenal papilla
58
Where does the midgut begin and end?
It begins at the major duodenal papilla and ends 2/3 of the way along the transverse colon

64
What are the three main branches of the coeliac trunk?
Left gastric, splenic and common hepatic arteries
65
What does the left gastric artery supply?
It branches into the oesopjageal branches and the short gastric artery on the left that anastamoses with the short gastric arteries on the right

What does the splenic artery supply?
It is the largest artery from the coeliac trunk it supplies the spleen and pancreas. it winds along the suerior border of the pancreas and supplies the pancreas as it goes, it gives off short gastrics which go to thefundus of the stomach and gives the left gastro ommental artery which supplies the greater curvature of the stoamch and the greater ommentum.
67
What are the branches of the common hepatic artery?
First there is the right gastric artery that supplies the lesser curvature of the stomach then there is the gastroduodenal that splits into right gastro ommental superior and posterior superior pancreatoduodenal arteries. the common hepatic contrnues to become the hepatic artery proper splitting into the left and right hepatic and then the right gices off the systic artery to the gall bladder.
68
What supplies blood to the midgut?
The superior mesenteric artery
69
what are the branches of the superior mesenteric artery?
inferior pancreatoduodenal, jejunal, ileal middle colic right colic and ileocolic artery
70
What is the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery?
It gives posterior and anterior ranches to supply the pancreas they anastamose with the superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries that are from the coeliac trunk
71
What are the jejunal and ileal arteries?
They are branches off the superior mesenteric artery, theu give of many branches and supply the areas they are named after, they pass between two layers of the mesentery. they can form single and double arcades in the jejunum
72
What are vasa recta?
Straight arteries coming from the curved arcade arteries which supply the final direct branch of the ileum.
73
What does the midlle colic artery supply?
It supplies the transverse colon and branches into the left and right parts that anastamose with the right nd left colic
74
Where does the right colic artery arise from?
The superior mesenteric artery

What does ther right colic anastamose with?
a branch of the middle colic that goes to the right
77
Which branches first the middle colic or the right colic?
The middle colic
78
Where does the ileocolic artery arise from?
The superior mesenteric artery and is the last branch. It has superior branch that goes to ascending colon and ansastamoses with the right colic artery and an inferior branch that continues towards the ileocolic junction diciding into the colic cecal appendicular and ileal braches
79
What is th path of the superior mesenteric artery?
It exits at lower part of L1 vertebra and passes inferior to splenic vein, postrior to the pancreas antrior to duodenum
80
Where is the inferior mesenteric artery?
It is at the level of L3 and descends anteriorly to aorta nsd then to the left
81
What are the main branches of the inferior mesenteric artery?
The left colic, sigmoid arteries superior rectal artery
82
Which areas are drained by the hepatic portal vein?
Spleeen, pancreas, gall bladder, and abdominal part of GI tract
83
Which veins join to form the hepatic portal vein?
The splenic vein superior mesenteric vein which pass posterior to the pancreas, the right and left gastric veins the cystic veins and paraumbilical veins
84
