connects to posterior abdominal wall, fan-shaped, attachment called “root”
“the mesentery” of jejunum and ileum
jejunum, ileum, transverse and sigmoid colon, first and fourth part of duodenum, cecum, appendix
intraperitoneal segments, covered in visceral peritoneum
middle duodenum, ascending and descending colon
secondarily retroperitoneal segments (developed in a reabsorbed mesentery, stuck to posterior abdominal wall)
has a thick wall and mucosa with circular folds, proximal 2/5
jejunum
thin walls, few if any circular folds, numerous lymphoid nodules, distal 3/5
ileum
1/3 of the way between anterior superior iliac spine and umbilicus
Mc Burney’s point, most common location of appendix
Does the cecum have a mesentery? Does the appendix?
No, yes.
peritoneal gap at the duodenojejunal junction, potential space for fluid or hernia
duodenal recess
Which part of colon has mesentery?
tranverse (fusese with greater omentum during development), sigmoid
colic flexure attached to diaphragm by phrenicocolic ligament, usually superior to other
left colic flexure
approximate location of rectosigmoid junction
S3
large size, omental fat tags, tenaie coli muscles, haustra saccules
large intestine, not small!
small outpocketing from colon, develop with age, may become inflamed
diverticuli
celiac trunk originates near
T12
inferior pancreaticoduodenal, middle colic, intestinal, ileocolic and right colic are branches of
superior mesenteric artery
supplies duodenum distal to bile duct, head of pancreas
inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery
supplies proximal 2/3 of transverse colon, runs in transverse mesocolon
middle colic artery
supply jejunum, ileum, “the” mesentery, end in straight terminal branches called vasa recta
intestinal arteries
supply distal ileum, appendix, cecum and proximal ascending colon
ileocolic artery
supplies ascending colon, is entirely retroperitoneal
right colic artery
branches include left colic, sigmoidal, superior rectal
inferior mesenteric
supplies descending colon, distal transverse colon
left colic artery
supplies sigmoid colon
sigmoidal branches
supplies superior part of the rectum
superior rectal artery
continuous artery running along entire large intestine
marginal artery
celiac trunk branches anastomose with branches of
superior mesenteric artery
superior mesenteric artery anastomoses with
celiac trunk and inferior mesenteric artery
left colic artery (IMA) anastomoses with
middle colic branch (SMA)
why is reverse blood flow possible in GI tract?
No valves in GI veins
anastomoses between esophageal branch of left gastric (portal) and esophageal tributaries of azygous (caval) result in
potentially fatal esophageal varices
anastomoses between superior rectal vein (portal) and mid and inferior rectal veins (caval) can result in
hemorrhoids
anastomoses between paraumbilical veins (portal) and superficial epigastric veins of anterior abdominal wall (caval) can result in
caput medusa
all of the duodenum, except proximal 2cm, which has mesentery, ligament, portal vein and bile duct
retroperitoneal
part of duodenum that is most intraperitoneal
superior part (first)
part of duodenum right of midline, anterior to kidney, retroperitoneal, where bile and pancreatic ducts drain
descending part (second)
part of duodenum anterior to IVC and aorta, retroperitoneal, crossed anteriorly by superior mesenteric vessels
horizontal part (third)
part of duodenum that ascends to join jejunum
ascending part (fourth)
supplies majority of superior duodenum
superior pancreaticoduodenal artery
supplies descending, horizantal and ascending duodenum
inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery
inferior mesenteric vein ____ accompany artery, passes ____ of the duodenojejunal junction
does not, to the left of
explains the prevalence of liver metastases in colon cancer
colon drains to portal vein, blood goes to liver
where bile duct and main pancreatic duct enter the duodenum
major duodenal papilla (internal surface)
accessory pancreatic duct enters duodenum as ____, which is ____ to major papilla
minor duodenal papilla, superior to
expanded part of pancreas, embraced by C-curve of duodenum
head
short part of pancreas, overlies superior mesenteric vessels
neck
continuation from the neck of the pancreas
body
part of pancreas closely related to the hilum pf spleen and left colic flexure
tail
tributaries of splenic and superior mesenteric parts of hepatic portal vein, empty into splenic vein
pancreatic veins
which kidney is higher?
left
Kidneys ____ one vertebral level during inspiration
descend
atrophy of fascial sheath results in pathological increase of mobility, which may cause pain or restrict blood flow
floating kidney
fusion of inferior poles of kidneys is called ____, full ascent is hindered by ____.
horseshoe kidney, inferior mesenteric artery
pain originating in mid-back and moving to inguinal region
kidney stones
minor calyxes at tips of renal pelvis, passed to major then pelvis to reach ureter
passage of filtrate in kidney
