25
Q

What does the inferior vena cava do?

A

Drains the cleaned blood from the hepatic veins into the right atrium

26
Q

What is the blood supply of the gall bladder?

A

cystic artery

  • Branch of right hepatic artery
  • Located in the Cystohepatic triangle (of Calot)
27
Q

How does bile flow in and out of the gall bladder?

A

cystic duct

28
Q

What is a Cholecystectomy?

A

surgical removal of the gall bladder

29
Q

What does each liver lobule contain?

A

central vein in the middle

intralobular portal triad at each corner

30
Q

What is the intralobular portal triad?

A

biliary duct
branch of hepatic artery
branch of hepatic portal vein

31
Q

What are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts of the duodenum called?

A

1 - superior
2 - decending
3 - horizontal
4 - ascending

32
Q

Which part of the duodenum does the main pancreatic duct and bile duct drain into?

A

2nd part

33
Q

What makes up the bile duct?

A

Common hepatic duct (left and right hepatic duct)

Cystic duct

34
Q

Where does the duodenum begin and end?

A

Begins = Pyloric sphincter

Ends = the duodenojejunal flexure

35
Q

What makes up the superior part of the duodenum?

A

duodenal cap

36
Q

At what point does the duodenum change from being retroperitoneal to intraperitoneal?

A

the duodenojejunal flexure

37
Q

What is the role of the duodenum?

A

Secretes a number of peptide hormones into blood:
Gastrin, CCK

CCK stimulates gall bladder contraction (i.e. increased bile production)

38
Q

Describe the peritoneal position of the pancreas? What are the four parts?

A

Retroperitoneal

Head
Neck
Body
Tail

39
Q

What are the two functions of the pancreas?

A 
Exocrine = pancreatic digestive enzymes into the pancreatic duct
Endocrine = insulin and glucagon into the blood stream
40
Q

What does the main pancreatic duct join?

A

bile duct

41
Q

What does the main pancreatic duct and bile duct form?

A

Ampulla of Vater

-> to then drain into the 2nd part of the duodenum

42
Q

What are the names of the Spinchters around the bile duct and duodenum?

A

Bile duct sphincter
Pancreatic duct sphincter
Sphincter of Oddi

43
Q

What is ERCP?

A

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
Investigation used to study the biliary tree and pancreas
Endoscope inserted through oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach and into duodenum

44
Q

What are the possible causes of jaunice?

A

Obstruction of the biliary tree

  • Gallstones
  • Carcinoma at head of pancreas

Flow of bile back up to the liver

Overspill into the blood, of its constituents, including bilirubin

45
Q

Name the blood supplies of the duodenum and pancreas?

A 
Superior mesenteric artery
Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery and Superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (astamose together)
Gastroduodenal artery
Splenic artery
Dorsal pancreatic arteries
46
Q

Where is pain from a duodenal ulcer normally felt?

A

epigastric pain

47
Q

Describe a cause of pancreatitis?

A

blockage of the ampulla by a gallstone

- bile is then diverted into the pancreas leading to irritation and inflammation

48
Q

Where can pain from the pancreas present?

A

epigastric or umbillical

- also radiate to the back

49
Q

Describe what can cause acute pancreatitis? and what can occur in very severe cases?

A

Can be caused by gallstone obstruction leading to reflux of bile and pancreatic juice in to the main pancreatic duct

In more advanced cases vascular haemorrhage can occur, leading to blood/fluid accumulation in the retroperitoneal space

50
Q

Where does the ileum end?

A

ileocaecal junction

51
Q

Describe the differences between the ileum and jejunum?

A

Colour
Jejunum is deep red
Ileum is lighter pink

Wall
Jejunum is thicker and heavy
Ileum is thinner and lighter

Vascularity
Jejunum is more vascular – more blood
Ileum is less vascular

Mesenteric Fat
Jejunum has less fat
Ileum has more fat

Circular Folds (L. plicae circularis)
Jejunum has large, tall and closely packed fold
Ileum has low and sparse folds (absent distally)

Lymphoid Tissue (Peyer’s Patches)
- Present in ileum (maybe duodenum too)
52
Q

What is the arterial blood supply of the ileum and jejunum?

A

superior mesenteric artery via jejunal and ileal arteries

53
Q

What is the venous blood supply of the ileum and jejunum?

A

jejunal and ileal veins
to superior mesenteric vein
to hepatic portal vein

54
Q

Describe the superior mesentric vessels?

A

Leaves the Aorta at L1 vertebral level

Travels inferiorly, Anterior to the Uncinate process of pancreas to enter the mesentery proper

55
Q

Describe the absoprtion of fat?

A

Bile helps in the absorption of fats from the GI tract lumen into the intestinal cells

Fats (within chylomicrons) are absorbed from intestinal cells into specialised lymphatic vessels of the small intestine called lacteals

They travel via the lymphatic system to eventually drain into the venous system at the left venous angle

56
Q

What are the main groups of lymph nodes draining abdominal organs called?

A

Celiac (foregut organs)

Superior mesenteric (midgut organs)

Inferior mesenteric (hindgut organs)

Lumbar (kidneys, posterior abdo wall, pelvis and lower limbs)

57
Q

Describe the left venous angle?

A

left subclavian and internal jugular veins

thoracic duct drainage

58
Q

Describe the right venous angle?

A

right subclavian and internal jugular veins

right lymphatic duct drainage
