Clinical Pearls Flashcards
tenure coli, hausfra, omental appendages are features of
large intestines
blood supply to end of transverse colon to all distal GI structures
inferior mesenteric artery
vessel overlaying the suprarenal gland on right side of the body
inferior vena cava
nerve passing through esophageal hiatus
vagus
splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein drain into the
hepatic portal vein
retroperitoneal structures
SAD PUCKER
suprarenal, aorta, duodenum, pancreas, ureters, colon, kidneys, esophagus, rectum
pancreatic tumor location most likely to cause jaundice
pancreatic head
“nutcracker effect,” vessel that crosses 3rd part of duodenum
superior mesenteric artery
pleural effusion (fluid) accumulates here
costodiaphragmatic recess
most common place for airway obstruction
right mainstream bronchus
horizontal vessel across mediastinum
left brachiocephalic vein
order of intercostal vessels under ribs
VAN (vein, artery, nerve)
thymus, lymph nodes are in which part of mediastinum
anterior
heart, SVC, phrenic nerve are in which part of mediastinum
middle
descending aorta, esophagus, thoracic duct, azygos vein are in which part of mediastinum
posterior
beginning of thoracic duct
cisterna chyli
thick myocardium, pumps blood to body
left ventricle
thin myocardium, conus arteriosus, moderator band, septal band, pumps blood to lungs
right ventricle
heart valve heard at right 2nd intercostal space sternal border
aortic
heart valve heard at left 2nd intercostal space sternal border
pulmonic
heart valve heard at left 4th intercostal space sternal border
tricuspid
heart valve heard at left 5th intercostal space sternal border
mitral
“widowmaker,” supplies inter ventricular septum, branch of left coronary artery
left anterior descending artery
line denoting inner from outer GI tract
pectinate line
kegal exercises strengthen this muscle
puborectalis (part of levator ani)
damage to this nerve causes bowel/bladder issues/erectile dysfunction
pudendal
nerve roots for pudendal nerve
S2-4
“S2-4 keeps pee poo and penis off the floor”
raising of testicle on side of stroked thigh
cremaster reflex
3 sections of urethra in males
prostatic, membranous, spongy
muscle that composes bladder wall
detrusor
urethral meatus on ventral penis, defect in what tissue
hypospadias, corpus spongiosum
external hemorrhoids are __ the pectinate line; internal hemorrhoids are __ the pectinate line
