Anatomy Exam 3 Flashcards
To make anatomy your bitch
Portal Triad
o Hepatic artery
o Portal vein
o Bile duct
Branches of the celiac trunk
o Left gastric artery
o Splenic artery
o Common hepatic artery
Portal vein is formed by union of
o Superior and inferior mesenteric veins
o Splenic vein
Three layers of stomach muscle (external to internal)
Longitudinal, circular, oblique
Structures supplied by the celiac trunk
Liver, gallbladder, inferior esophagus, stomach, pancreas, spleen, and duodenum
Passage of the superior mesenteric artery between the pancreas and duodenum
The artery passes deep to the pancreas and superficially to part 3 of the duodenum
The common hepatic artery divides into
Hepatic artery proper and gastroduodenal artery
The splenic artery gives rise to the following arteries
Splenic branches, left gastro-omental, posterior gastric, short gastric arteries
The gastroduodenal artery divides into
Right gastro-omental and anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery
The pancreas is greedy with blood supply and grabs it from
Common hepatic, gastroduodenal, pancreaticoduodenal, splenic, and superior mesenteric arteries
Sites of the mesocolons
Transverse mesocolon and sigmoid mesocolon (there is also a mesoappendix)
Fun facts about the descending colon
It is the narrowest part of the large intestine and is retroperitoneal
Structure of arteries in jejunum
Short arcades and long vasa recta
Structure of arteries in ileum
Long arcades and short vasa recta
Marginal artery
Connect the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. Supplies blood to the colon and runs along the MARGIN on the colon
Four lobes of the liver
Right, left, caudate, and quadrate
Where does the portal triad enter the liver?
At the porta hepatis
The hepatic portal vein drains blood from what organs?
The GI tract, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, and sinusoids of the liver.
The common bile duct enters where in the duodenum?
the Hepatopancreatic ampulla, which is on the 2nd (descending) part of the duodenum
Quadrate lobe of the liver is next to
The gallbladder
The caudate lobe of the liver is next to the
IVC
The closed ductus venosus becomes
ligamentum venosum
The obliterated umbilical vein becomes
Ligamentum teres
Ligaments of the spleen and what they contain (HINT: think about the branches of the splenic artery)
Gastrosplenic ligament (short gastric vessels and left gastro-omental vessels) and splenorenal ligament (splenic vessels and the tail of the pancreas)
