Q

The stomach has 2 curvature that give it shape.

A

Greater curvature-
attachment for gastrosplenic ligament and greater omentum with transverse colon.

lesser curvature-
attachment of lesser omentum-with liver.

cardiac notch- superior angle at which esophagus entering stomach.

22
Q

arterial supply of the stomuch

A

Left gastric artery from Coeliac trunk
Right gastric artery from Proper hepatic artery
Left gastro-omental artery from Splenic artery
Right gastro-omental artery from Gastroduodenal artery

23
Q

The longest part of the gastrointestinal tract

A

Small intestines

24
Q

the content of the small intestine.

A

Extends from the pyloric orifice to ileocoecal fold
- Approximately 6m to 7m long
- Narrow throughout its course
Made up of the duodenum, ileum and jejunum

25
Q

Duodenum

A

C-shaped structure made up of 4 parts
- In relation to the head of the pancreas

26
Q

The first part of duodenum

A

First part starts at the pyloric orifice the run horizontally to the right along the superior head of the pancreas.

Extends from pyloric orifice to gallbladder neck
Lies at the level of L1
Runs anteriorly over
- Common bile duct, gastroduodenal artery, portal vein and Inferior Vena Cava
(IVC)

27
Q

First part is connected to the liver via ?

A

hepatoduodenal ligament
- It is a part of the lesser omentum

28
Q

second part of duodenum

A

descend vertically lateral to the pancreas.
It extends from the gallbladder neck to inferior
border of L3

29
Q

structures related to the sec part

A

Its anterior surface is crossed by the transverse colon
Right kidney is found on its posterior surface
Head of the pancreas is found on its medial surface

It contains the major duodenal papilla (Common bile and pancreatic ducts)
- Minor duodenal papilla may be present for accessory pancreatic duct

30
Q

Duodenum (Third part)

A

run horizontally to the left from L3 border along the inferior head of pancreas.

Longest section of the duodenum
Crosses the IVC, aorta and vertebral column
Crossed anteriorly by the superior mesenteric artery.

31
Q

Duodenum (Fourth part)

A

Passes upwards on or to the left of aorta
- Approximately at the level of L2
Terminates at the duodenojejunal junction
Duodenojejunal junction is surrounded by a peritoneal fold
- Fold contains suspensory ligament

32
Q

Jejunum

A

Lies mostly in the left upper quadrant
Has a large diameter and thick walls
Inner mucosal lining has numerous prominent folds that circle the lumen (Plicae circulares)

33
Q

Ileum

A

It represents the distal 3/5 of small intestines
Mostly in the right lower quadrant
Has a thin wall
Inner mucosal lining has fewer and less prominent folds than the jejunum (Plicae circulares)

34
Q

Ileum opens into the large intestine Where ?

A

The caecum and ascending colon meet

35
Q

2 flap of ileum project into large intestine lumen

A

Called Ileocaecal folds and surround an opening

36
Q

Musculature of the ileum continues into the flaps

A

Musculature of the ileum continues into the flaps
- To create a sphincter around the opening
- Called the ileocaecal valve

37
Q

Large intestines

A

Extends from the distal end of the ileum to anus
Absorbs fluids and salts from gut contents
- To create faeces

38
Q

Large intestines Consists

A
  • Caecum, appendix, colon, rectum and the anus
    Begins in right inguinal region as the caecum, with its appendix
    • Continues as the ascending colon
      • Through right lateral region, to terminate at the right hypochondrium
39
Q

Ascending colon

A

terminates at right colic flexure
- Flexes to the left, to cross abdomen as transverse colon

40
Q

Transvere colon

A

terminates at the left hypochondrium
- At the left colic flexure, to continue as descending colon

41
Q

Descending colon

A

runs through left lateral and inguinal regions
- It enters upper pelvic area as the sigmoid colon

42
Q

Sigmoid colon

A

continues on posterior pelvic wall as the rectum
- It terminates as the anal canal

43
Q

summary

A

Begins at the cecum to the liver but not beyond it but run horizontaly to the right to create corner / flection / heptic flexure then continuen as transvece colon to meet the spleen then curve / colic flexure
Then descend till the illium then create a S shape (sigmoid colon) them medially to the true pelvic

44
Q

Large intestine has…………. along the length of colon.

A

omental appendices.

45
Q

3 narrow bands (Taeniae coli) found along colon

A
  • Create sacculations of the colon (Haustra-folds in the
    Large inte..bends they pull the LI then forms sich glamds)
46
Q

Caecum

A

Caecum is the first part of large intestine
- Found inferior to ileocaecal opening

Caecum is continuous with the ascending colon
- At the entrance of the ileum

47
Q

appendix

A

is a blind-ended tube connect to the caecum
- It is suspended from terminal ileum by mesoappendix
- It contains the appendicular vessels

48
Q

Appendix location is variable, may be

A
  • Posterior to caecum (Retrocaecal)
    • Suspended over pelvic brim (Pelvic)
    • Below the caecum (Subcaecal)
    • Anterior to terminal ileum (Pre-ileal)
49
Q

the Ascending and descending colons are …..

A

retroperitoneal/ immobile - can not not move
directly visible after one opens the peritoneal cavity, but they are fixed to the back wall, thus they are not

fixed to the abdominal wall

50
Q

Transverse and sigmoid colons are

A

intraperitoneal- mobile/ moves
not fixes agaist the abdominal wall.

51
Q

The right colic flexure/ Hepatic flexure transition s which colons

A

ascending to the transverse colon
suspended via hepatocolic ligament.

52
Q

The left colic flexure transition which colons and suspended via which ligament

A

from descending colon to sigmoid colon
via phenocolic ligament
