21
Q

blood supply to the liver

A

hepatic artery - branches into right and left hepatic arteries
hepatic portal vein

22
Q

location of liver

A

mainly in upper right quadrant

23
Q

anatomical relations of liver

A

diaphragm superior, anterior and posterior
anterior aspect of stomach medial
gallbladder posterior and inferior
hepatic flexure inferior
right kidney, right adrenal, IVC and abdormnal aorta posterior

24
Q

how is liver protected

25
anatomical segments of the liver
``` 4 in total; right lobe left lobe caudate lobe quadrate lobe ```
26
functional segments of the liver
8 | I - VIII
27
blood supply of functional segments of the liver
each functional segment has its own blood supply; hepatic artery hepatic portal vein venous drainage bile drainage
28
venous drainage from the liver
via 3 main hepatic veins into the IVC
29
describe the IVC and hepatic veins
lack valves
30
hepatomegaly
a rise in central venous pressure is directly transmitted to the liver it enlarges as it engorges with blood
31
areas of the peritoneal cavity related to the liver
``` hepatorenal recess (Morison's pouch) sub-phrenic recess ``` both within greater sac
32
what is peritonitis
can result in a collection of pus in the recesses leading to an abscess formation
33
describe the hepatorenal recess
one of the lowest parts of the peritoneal cavity when the patient is supine
34
venous drainage of the liver - hepatic portal vein
drains blood from foregut, midgut and hindgut to the liver for first pass metabolism
35
venous drainage of the liver - splenic vein
drains blood from foregut to hepatic portal vein
36
venous drainage of the liver - inferior mesenteric vein
drains blood from hindgut to splenic vein
37
venous drainage of the liver - superior mesenteric vein
drains the blood from the midgut to the hepatic portal vein
38
venous drainage of the liver - inferior vena cava
retroperitoneal | drains the cleaned blood from the hepatic veins into the right atrium
39
coronary ligament
attaches liver to diaphragm
40
falciform ligament
attaches liver to anterior abdominal wall
41
ligament teres/round ligament
remnant of the embryological umbilical vein
42
location of gallbladder
lies on the posterior aspect of the liver | anterior to duodenum
43
neck of gallbladder
neck narrows to become cystic duct | potential site for gallstone impaction
44
function of cystic duct
bile flows in and out the gallbladder via the cystic duct
45
blood supply of gallbladder
cystic artery - branch of right hepatic artery (75% of people)
46
what type of organ is the gallbladder
foregut
47
where does pain of the gallbladder present
epigastric region also the hypochondrium with or without pain referral to right shoulder - result of anterior diaphragmatic irritation
48
where do visceral afferents of gallbladder enter spinal cord
T6-T9
