Q

subphrenic space

A

The part of the peritoneal cavity which lies between the diaphragm and liver

17
Q

supracolic compartment

A

The part of the peritoneal cavity which lies above the transverse mesocolon

18
Q

The lesser sac communicates with the greater sac at a small opening termed the

A

epiploic foramen/omental foramen

19
Q

boundaries of the epiploic foramen

A

anterior - hepatoduodenal ligament. Posterior - inferior vena cava. Superior - liver inferior - superior part duodenum

20
Q

The hepatoduodenal ligament is formed from the free border of the lesser omentum. Three structures pass in the ligament on route to the liver:

A

hepatic artery and duct, portal vein.

21
Q

umbilical folds

A

A single median umbilical fold extends from the apex of the bladder to the umbilicus. It overlies the median umbilical ligament. There are two medial umbilical folds which lie lateral to the median fold; they overlie the medial umbilical ligaments. Two lateral umbilical folds lie lateral to the medial fold.

22
Q

what are the umbilical ligaments remenants of

A

the midian ligament is a remenant of the urachus

23
Q

innervation of the peritoneum

A

The parietal peritoneum receives somatic innervation from the nerves that supply the abdominal wall. It is therefore sensitive to pain which can clearly be localised.

The visceral peritoneum receives autonomic innervation.

24
Q

forgut

A

Extends from the lower part of oesophagus to the second part the duodenum and also includes the liver, spleen and part of the pancreas. organs: duodenum proximal to major papilla. liver. stomach. gall bladder. spleen. pancreus.

25
Q

midgut

A

Extends from the second part of the duodenum to the distal third of the transverse colon, it also includes part of the pancreas. organs: proximal 2/3 transverse colon. appendix. jejunum. duodenum distal to major papilla. ileum. hepatic flexure. caecum. ascending colon.

26
Q

hindgut

A

Extends from the distal third of transverse colon to the proximal part of the anus.organs-anus. splenic flexure. descending colon. distal 1/3 transverse colon. sigmoid colon.

27
Q

blood supply of GI tract

A

forgut - coeliac artery. midgut - superior mesenteric artery. hindgut - inferior mesenteric.

28
Q

lymph of the GI tract

A

first regional i.e liver - hepatic nodes.then into regional sections like forgut into coeliac nodes.

29
Q

autonomic innervation of the GI tract

A

Preganglionic sympathetic fibres arise in the lateral horn of grey matter of the thoracolumbar regions of the spinal cord. Their axons pass in the ventral root, spinal nerve, ventral ramus and white ramus communicantes to enter the sympathetic chain. They pass through the chain without synapsing and continue on to the prevertebral ganglia as splanchnic nerves. They terminate in prevertebral ganglia by synapsing with the postsynaptic fibres that pass to the effector organ. foregut-coeliac ganglion. greater splanic nerve. T5-9.
midgut - lesser splanic nerve, pregang T10-11. sup mesenteric ganglion.
hindgut-inf mesenteric ganglion. T12 l1. lumbar splanic nerve.

30
Q

Which nerve provides parasympathetic innervation to the gut?

A

vagus

31
Q

sensory innervation of the GI tract

A

Visceral afferent information for reflexes (such as stretch to the intestinal wall) is conveyed with parasympathetic fibres.
Visceral afferent pain fibres are conveyed with sympathetic fibres. Therefore pain afferents from the foregut enter the spinal cord at levels T5-9, those from the midgut at T10-11 andc from the hindgut at T12-L1. This accounts for why referred pain from the abdominal viscera is perceived on specific regions of the abdominal wall.

32
Q

As its name suggests the submucosal plexus is located in the submucosa. What is the other name that is given to this plexus?

A

meisseners

33
Q

enteric nervous system

A

The enteric nervous system is often considered to be the third part of the autonomic nervous system. It consists of two nerve plexuses.The myenteric plexus is responsible for gastointestinal motility whereas the submucosal plexus senses environmental changes in the lumen and regulates gastrointestinal blood flow and epithelial cell function.

The enteric nervous system can function autonomously but it communicates with the central nervous system and is regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system.

One plexus is located between the inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of muscle in the muscularis externa and the other is located within the submucosa.

34
Q

functions of the stomach

A

storage of ingested food, control of chyme into duodenum, protection against pathogens.

35
Q

what is located anterior to the stomach

A

abdominal wall. liver. diaphragm.

36
Q

what is located posterior to the stomach

A

kidneys. spleen. suprarenal gland. lesser sac. splenic artery. transverse mesocolon. pancreus. transverse colon.

37
Q

what branches of the coeliac trunk supply the stomach

A

common hepatic, left gastric, splenic.

38
Q

arteries and veins and nerves to stomach

A

follow short gastric, left right right left gastroepiploic
