azygous system

Question 8

Where does blood flow if the inferior vena cava is blocked?

Answer 8

Through the azygous system

Question 9

What do the lymphatic vessels generally follow?

Answer 9

The arterial system but in the opposite direction

Question 10

What is the main channel that returns lymph from the body to the venous system?

Answer 10

Thoracic duct - can you locate it #/

Question 11

What is the cisterna chylii?

Answer 11

where many lymphatic ducts converge in the upper lumbar vertebrae, its the origin of the thoracic duct.
locate it

Question 12

What is the journey of the thoracic duct?

Answer 12

Cisterna chylii, ascends thoracic cavity through the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm . in the thoracic cavity it can be found anterior to the thoracic vertebrae, to the right of the midline, between thoracic aorta and azygous vein, it does move to the left and ultimately drains into the left internal jugular on the subclavian veins.

Question 15

What are the three main branches of the abdominal aorta that supply the gut tube?

Answer 15

-coeliac trunk
-superior mesenteric artery
-inferior mesenteric artery

Question 16

What arteries arise from the abdominal aorta to supply the abdominal viscera?

Answer 16

suprarenal (hard to see)
renal
gonadal

Question 17

Which vein does the left gonadal vein drain blood into?

Answer 17

left renal vein

Question 18

Which vein does the right gonadal vein drain blood into?

Answer 18

IVC

Question 19

At what vertebral level is the aoritc hiatus

Answer 19

t12

Question 20

At what vertebral level does the abdominal aorta bifurcate?

Answer 20

L4

Question 21

What deos the coelic trunk supply?

Answer 21

foregut - The foregut organs are the stomach, the first half of the duodenum, and the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen.

Question 22

what does the superior mesenteric artery supply?

Answer 22

midgut - The midgut consists of the distal half of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending colon, and the proximal half of the transverse colon

Question 23

what does the inferior mesenteric artery supply?

Answer 23

hindgut- cecum, large colon, small colon and the rectum

Question 24

what does the common iliac artery supply?

Answer 24

Pelvis and lower limbs

Question 25

Can you identify an abdominal CT?

Answer 25

do it

Question 26

What abdominal organs drain via the portal system?

Answer 26

gut tube, gall baldder, pancreas, spleen

Question 27

What abdominal organs drain via the caval system?

Answer 27

kidneys, suprarenal glands

Question 28

How does the portal system differ from the systemic system?

Answer 28

blood that drains via the portal system does not go straight to the heart as it does in the caval system it goes to the liver for detoxification and metabolism

Question 29

What are the 4 regions of the body that are portal-caval anatamosis?

Answer 29

anal canal
distal oesophagus
peri-umbilical region
posterior aspect of retroperitoneal visecera

Question 30

If there was an obstruction in the portal vein what are the consequences to the portal-caval anatomosis>

Answer 30

if blood can’t return via the portal system it returns via the systemic circulation - this is possible due to the lack of valves in the portal venous system. it results in an enlargement of ceins in hte systemic circulation, especially at the sites of anastomoses, this causes clincal features like anorectal or oesophageal varices and enlargement of periumbilical veins = caput medusae
