Chapter 7 Abdomen power point Flashcards
4 quadrants
RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, LLQ
abdominal cavity
divides stomach
closed system in men, open system in women
peritoneum
lines abdominal wall
parietal peritoneum
lines organs
serous fluid in between so organs can move
visceral peritoneum
folds between organs
cushions organs
encloses intestine and attaches it to abdominal wall
cant see on MRI unless infected
mesentery
drapes over stomach to attach to spleen and transverse colon
double layer of mesentery
greater omentum
attached to stomach
double layer of mesentery
lesser omentum
results from folds of peritoneum supracolic compartment (above) infracolic compartment (below)
peritoneal space
behind peritoneum
has ureters, kidneys, pancreas, IVC, aorta, bladder
retroperitoneum
receive arterial and venous blood mostly in RUQ metabolic and hemoglobin regulation, bile production largest abdominal organ peritoneum covers it
liver
glissons capsule gallbladder fossa fissures falciform ligament porta hepatis 4 lobes ligamentum venosum and teres
parts of liver
divides right lobe and left lobe
falciform ligament
hilum, root of liver (blood, nerves travel thru it)
portal vein enters liver through it
on inferior border
porta hepatis
left, right (big), caudate (IVC, aorta, azygos vein by it), quadrate (by gallbladder, inferior part)
4 lobes of liver
can be segmented into 8 parts, each independent, segment can be removed, segments named for vascular
liver
portal vein
main supply
formed from superior mesentery and splenic veins
venous blood supply to liver
common hepatic artery
20% of blood
comes off of siliac trunk
arterial blood supply to liver
empty to IVC
hepatic veins
stores bile and concentrates it
sends bile to duodenum
hollow, muscular, contracts
pare shaped
gallbladder
