Provides nutrients for foetus before placenta

146
Q

How are ions and water reabsorbed in the large intestines?

Anteriorly: perineal membrane, urogenital diaphragm, superficial and deep transverse perineal membrane
Posteriorly: gluteus maximus muscle and sacrotuberous ligament
Base: skin
Medial wall: levator ani, external anal sphincter and anal canal

153
Q

A

Hepatic portal system

154

A

The ilieum only

156
Q

What is McBurnley’s point?

A

Where the base of the appendix is and where maximal pain is felt during appendicitis

157
Q

What kind of blood supply does the jejunum have?

A

Less complex than ileum, with long vasa recta (straight arteries) that reach the gut wall. These are anatomical end arteries.

158
Q

What is the blood supply of the ileum like?

A

The ileal branches of superior mesenteric artery divide and reunite to form a complex series of arches and arcades so the vasa recta here are short, but still anatomical end arteries

159
Q

Which abdominal organs are intraperitoneal?

A

Transverse and sigmoid colon, caecum, jejunum and ileum

160
Q

Where is the appendix?

A

Attached to the caecum

161
Q

Where does most of ileum lie?

A

In the pubic and right inguinal regions of abdomen

162
Q

What is arterial supply of anal canal below the pectinate line?

A

Inferior rectal arteries

163
Q

Which muscle lies most laterally on the posterior abdominal wall?

A

Quadratus lumborum

164
Q

Which nerve supplies foregut and midgut parasympatheticly?

A

Anterior and posterior vagi

165
Q

Which organ is duodenum most closely related to?

A

Pancreas

166
Q

What are the main three laxative types and examples of each?

A

1) bulk forming (fibre)
2) stimulating (castor oil)
3) osmotic (lacultose)

167
Q

When are gastric inhibitory peptide and CCK secreted? What do they do?

A

When there is fat in the duodenal chyme. Both inhibit gastrin and acid release and stimulate pepsinogen release from chief cells

168
Q

What is nervous supply of anal canal below the pectinate line?

A

Very sensitive to pain. Nerve supply is somatic via pudendal nerves.

169
Q

Describe the layers of the external anal sphincter.

A

Subcutaneous, superficial and deep from inferior to superior

170
Q

What are the branches of the superior mesenteric artery?

A

Inferior pancreaticoduodenal branches, jejunal and ileal branches, ileocolic artery, right colic artery, middle colic artery

171
Q

Which hormone controls the sphincter of Oddi?

A

Cholecysokinin (CCK)

172
Q

How is HCL formed in parietal cells?

A

Exchange of H+ for K+ and then Cl- for K+ so there is HCL outside the cell and K+ remains in the cell.

173
Q

Why does the duodenum have such a large surface area?

A

Villi, microvilli and circular folds in mucous membrane known as plicae circularis

174
Q

What is contained in the ischioanal fossa?

A

Fat, vessels and nerves. Pudendal arteries and veins and the pudendal nerve (S2-4)
