Aterial Supply, Venous Drainage And Nervous Innervaton Of The GI Tract Flashcards
What does the GIT develop into in the embryo?
Three sections
Foregut
Midgut
Hindgut
What branches from the abdominal aortic the supply to GI tract?
3 large unpaired arteries
What supplies the foregut as a branch of the abdominal aorta?
Coeliac trunk/axis
What supplies the midgut as a branch of the abdominal aorta?
Superior mesenteric artery
What supplies the hindgut as a branch of the abdominal aorta?
Inferior mesenteric artery
What supplies the spleen?
The splenic artery
Where does the inferior mesenteric artery supply?
The distal 3rd of the transverse colon and down the descending and sigmoid colon and the upper part of the rectum
What supplies the rectum?
Superior rectal artery which is terminal branch from the inferior mesenteric artery
Middle and inferior rectal artery from internal iliacs
Where is the pancreas derived from?
The foregut from the dorsal and ventral bud
What is the pancreas supplied by?
Coeliac trunk and small branch from SMA
Which organs are derived for the foregut/supplied by the coeliac trunk?
Oesophagus
Stomach
Proximal 1 1/2 parts of the duodenum
Accessory organs - liver, gallbladder, superior portion of the pancreas, spleen
What s derived from the midgut/supplied by the superior mesenteric artey?
Distal 2 1/2 parts of duodenum Jejunum Ileum Caecum Ascending colon Proximal 2/3 transverse colon
What is derived from the hindgut/supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery?
Distal 1/ of transverse colon
Descending colon
Sigmoid colon
Rectum
Where does the celiac artery arise?
Almost straight after aortic hiatus in diaphragm around T12
How many branches does the celiac artery branch into?
3
What is the smallest/first branch of the celiac artery?
Left gastric artery
Where does left gastric artery supply?
Runs up left of oesophagus and passes back and runs own lesser curvature of stomach giving off branches
What is the biggest terminal branch of the celiac artery?
Splenic artery
Where does the splenic artery run?
From the celiac trunk, behind the stomach along the superior border of the pancreas, towards the hilum of the spleen, giving off the short gastric branches to the fundus of the stomach and the gastroepiploic branches
Where does the left gastroepiploic artery run?
Along the greater curvature of the stomach where it anastomoses wth the right gastroepiploic artey
What is the lesser curvature supplied by?
Gastric arteries
What is the greater curvature of the stomach supplied by?
Gastroepiploic arteries
What are the 3 branches of the celiac artery?
Left gastric artery
Splenic artery
Hepatic artery / common hepatic artery
What does the common hepatic artery run into?
The hepatic proper
