Q

Contents of the Porta Hepatis/Hilum of liver

A

Bile duct, hepatic artery, portal vein

20
Q

The peritoneun covering the liver eventually becomes part of ___

A

greater omentum

21
Q

T/F: The liver is partially mesenteric (cov by visceral perit) and partially retroperitoneal/secondary retroperitoneal

A

True

22
Q

What is the omental foramen and what are its boundaries?

A

Where greater/lesser sac communicate. Anterior Wall: lesser omentum with portal structures
Posterior Walls: IVC

23
Q

If finger inserted into omental foramen of a cadaver where would it enter?

A

lesser sac

24
Q

formed by the reflection of parietal peritoneum onto visceral peritoneal; encircles the bare are of the liver

A

Coronary Ligament

25
Q

The Coronary Ligament is continuous with:

A

2 layer of lesser omentum; two layer of falsiform ligament

26
Q

Ligaments attaching liver to diaphragm

A

triangular ligaments

27
Q

Formed by the constricted part of thr peritoneal cavity; located between liver and diaphragm

A

Subphrenic process

28
Q

Posterior ab wall parietal peritoneum reflecting on visceral; located between the liver and right kidney (underneath and behind liver)

A

Hepatorenal Process/morison’s pouch?
**potential site for fluid accumulation due to limited fluid movement)

29
Q

T/F: Constricted spacs like subphrenic and hepatorenal recesses are often sites of absess formation in case of infection

A

true–limited fluid movement–gravity guides infectious material info these spots in bedridden patients

30
Q

Portal structures are found between the 2 layers of the ___

A

lesser omentum (pass through omental foramen)

31
Q

T/F: Lymph from ab organs usually drains along arteries supplying organ

A

true

32
Q

T/F: Lymph nodes/vessel run BACKWARD along arterial supply

A

true

33
Q

In the liver, lymph drainage follows the branches of __

A

celiac artery

34
Q

Liver is initially covered with ___ and diaphragm with ____; these layers adhere and ____ dissolves

A

visceral peritoneum; parietal peritoneam; perioneum dissolves (allowing direct contact)

35
Q

When Liver and Diaphragm contact in base area, what happens?

A

peritoneum dissolves; vessels in liver and diaph form anastomoses across bare area (imp for metast of cancer)

36
Q

A small fraction of the liver drains upward to ___ nodes and lungs VIA diaphragm

A

thoracic lymph nodes (significant for metast of cancers–could spread in either direction)

37
Q

___ is secreted by the liver to help with digestion

A

bile

38
Q

Two bile ducts dividing the liver:

A

Left and Right Hepatic (bile) duct

39
Q

Duct draining the left lobe, quadrate lobe, and caudate lobe

A

Left Hepatic (bile) duct

40
Q

Duct draining the right lobe of the liver

A

Right Hepatic (bile) duct

41
Q

Branches of the Hepatic Artery Proper:

A

Left and Right Hepatic Arterties

42
Q

Supplies the left functional side of liver (left lobe, quad lobe, caud lobe)

A

Left Hepatic Artery

43
Q

Supplies the right lobe and may partially supply the quadrate lobe (DUAL supply in most people)

A

Right Hepatic Artery

44
Q

Supplies the Gallbladder

A

Cystic Artery (typically branches from right hep art but is variable in origin)

45
Q

The Liver is supplied by branches of the ___ and gallbladder supplied by branches of the ___

A

Liver (Hepatic Artery Proper–left and right hep); Gallbladder (Final Branch of celiac artery–cystic artery)

46
Q

Gallbladder store ___ produced by the liver

A

bile
