Biliary System: bile, gallbladder, spleen Flashcards
If there is a tumor in the head of the pancreas, which duct will most likely be obstructed?
Common bile duct
What duct is located at the head of the pancreas and receives contents from cystic and hepatic duct?
bile duct
Obstruction of the bile duct results in pain and ___.
Jaundice
Above the cystic duct insertion is what duct?
The common hepatic duct
Below cystic duct insertion is what duct?
Bile duct
“Below is Bile”
Which duct drains the liver?
Common hepatic duct
Bile exits the hepatic duct and enter what duct into the gallbladder?
The cystic duct
What artery will supply the pancreas if the gastroduodenal artery is occluded/ligated?
Superior mesenteric artery
What artery is found at the free edge of the hepatoduodenal ligament?
The proper hepatic artery
What are the three structures that make up the portal triad?
hepatic portal vein
hepatic proper artery
bile duct
What are the symptoms of bile being in the bloodstream (reverse of flow)?
yellow eyes and jaundice
If the common bile duct is obstructed, what will be the collateral pathway for drainage of bile from the liver or gallbladder?
There is no collateral pathway for drainage.
What is the job of the pancreatic duct?
Not involved in the flow of bile. Drains pancreatic enzymes from duodenum.
Obstruction of right or left hepatic duct will still allow drainage from liver and gallbladder. True or False.
True
Obese, Nausea and intermittent, acute pain in upper right abdomen, jaundice are all symptoms as a result of what duct being obstructed
Common bile duct
What artery supplies the spleen as it crosses and supplies the tail of the pancreas?
Splenic artery

What supplies the uncinate process of the pancreas?
Branches of the SMA— inferior (posterior and anterior) pancreaticduodenal arteries
A uncinate tumor can compress the SMA
What vein is formed by the confluence of the SMV and splenic vein, and passes deep to the neck of the pancreas?
Portal vein
cholecystitis combined with jaundice indicates a blockage of release of bile into the duodenum are signs of what duct being occluded?
The common bile duct
What is cholecystitis?
Inflammation of the gallbladder; most frequently associated with the presence of gallstones
What causes obstructive jaundice?
Obstruction in the common hepatic duct and common bile duct; preventing communication between the liver and duodenum
What causes pancreatitis?
occlusion of pancreatic duct
Cholecystokinin cause the release of?
Bile from the gallbladder
Bile leaves cystic duct to enter what two ducts before reach the duodenum?
Common bile duct and hepatopancreatic ampulla (of vater)
What transmits the proper hepatic artery, portal vein, common hepatic duct, autonomic nerves, and lymph vessels?
