Clinical anatomy of jaundice 2 Flashcards
Explain the anatomy of the Biliary Tree
Made up of a number of ducts which transport bile
- Right + left hepatic duct = Common hepatic duct
- Common hepatic duct + common bile duct = Common bile duct
How many parts does the doudenum have and where does bil drain into
4 parts
Bile drains into 2nd part
Where is the cystic artery found
triangle for callot - between the common heptatic duct and the cystic duct
Where does the doudenum begin and end
Begins - pyloric sphincter
Ends - Doudenojejunal fleture
Which parts of the doudenum are retroperitoneal and intraperitoneal
- Superior doudenal cap = Intraperitoneal
- Descending = retroperitoneal
- Horizontal = retroperitoneal
- Asceding = Retroperitoneal
What are the secretions of the doudenum
- Gastrin
- CCK
Where does pain form doudenum present
Epigastric region
Describe the anatomy of the pacreas
- Locations = right side - lies transversly across poterior abdomen
- Retroperitoneal organ
Parts
- Head - has an uncinate process
- Neck
- Body
- Tail - lies closely to the hilum of the spleen
What are the anatomical relations of the pancreas
Posterioly lies
- Abdominal aorta
- Right and left kidney and adrenal glands
- IVC
- Bile duct
- Superior Mesenteric vessesl
- Part of the portal system
Anteirorly - lies Stomach
Doudenum - surrounds heads
Superior-posterioly - splenic vessels
what do these structure look like on a CT
What are the functions of the pancrea
- Excorine function: Acinar cells - release pancratic digestive enzymes into main pancreatic duct
- Endocrine functions: Islets of langerhands - Releases insulin and glucagon into the blood stream
What is the autonomic supply to the pancreas
Vagus nerve (all glands are supplied by parasympathetics
How does drainage from the biliary system occur
- Bile duct descends posteriorly to the 1st part of doudenum
- Then travels into a groove on the posterior aspect of the pancreas
- Bile duct joins with the main prancreatic duct to form the ampulla of vater- wider duct
- both drain Into the major doudenal papilla in 2nd part of doudenum
there are 2 papillas in the 2nd part of the doudenum what are they and what do they drain
- Major papilla - drains ampulla of vater
- Minor papilla - drains accessory pancreatic duct
What are anatomical sphicter
areas of lumen where smooth muscle encircles the lumen of the tract
