Cadaver GI Flashcards
I. LABELS 1. Liver
- Stomach
- Transverse colon
- Small intestine
- Cecum
II. CLINICAL ANATOMY The small intestine is composed of the duodenum, jejunum, and the ileum. Although the latter two are not delineated by a specific point, they are distinguished as follows: • The jejunum has less fat inside its mesentery than the ileum. • The jejunum is typically larger in diameter than the ileum. • The jejunum has simple arcades and long vasa recta, whereas the ileum has more complex arcades and shorter vasa recta.
LABELS
- Ligamentum teres hepatitis (round ligament of the liver; reflected)
- Cystic artery
- Right gastric artery
- Right gastro-omental (gastroepiploic) artery
- Abdominal part of the oesophagus (cardiac part of the stomach)
- Left gastric artery; branch of the celiac trunk
- Gastroduodenal artery; splits into superior pancreatoduodenal and right gastro-omental arteries

II. QUESTION A patient is having severe abdominal pain that is attributable to ischemia. A CT arteriogram reveals that all the branches of the superior mesenteric artery are patent. Therefore, the pain may be a consequence of ischemia in which of the following structures?

II. QUESTION Following blunt trauma to the abdomen, an emergency laparotomy is performed. Copious bleeding is noted from a lacerated liver. The surgeon inserts an index finger into the epiploic (omental) foramen (of Winslow) and compresses the hepatoduodenal ligament with the thumb (Pringle manoeuvre). Blood supply to which of the following structures would not be affected by this procedure?
A. Gallbladder
B. Quadrate lobe of liver
C. Caudate lobe of liver
D. Left lobe of liver
E. Pancreas
E. Pancreas
