Digestive System 2 Flashcards
Caudal portion of foregut
Esophagus
Stomach
Cranial part of duodenum
Stomach
Develops as a dilation of esophagus
Dorsal part- convex, greater curvature
Ventral part- concave, lesser curvature
What fixes stomach to the walls?
Mesentries
Named by what they attach to
Omentum
Meshlike structure of vessels Greater omentum-greater curvature Lesser omentum-lesser curvature In polygastric: Greater omentum- rumen, reticulum, part of abomasum Lesser omentum- omasum, part of abomasum
Liver
Develops from invagination of digestive tube
Hepatic diverticulum+hepatic bud= liver parenchyma
Systic bud= gall bladder, cystic duct
Ventral+dorsal pancreatic duct from duodenum=pancreas
Midgut
Caudal portion of duodenum Jejunum Ilium Caecum Ascending colon Transverse colon (1st half)
Congenital disorders
Stenosis Atresia (anal/rectal) Urorectal fistula (rectovesical, rectovestibular, rectourethral) Umbilical hernia Megaesophagus Megacolon
Esophagus
Muscular tube/duct
From cricoid cartilage to cardia
Cervical, thoracic, dorsal portions
Positioning of esophagus
Dorsally to trachea
At the entrance of thoracic cavity on the left side, trachea at right side
Then again dorsally to trachea
Innervation and vascularization of esophagus
Cervical portion- cranial and thyroid A (from common carotid)
Thoracic portion- bronchoesophageal A (from thor. Aorta)
Abdominal portion- left gastric A (from celiac A)
Vagus N, sympathetic trunk
Parietal peritoneum
Lining inner surface of abdominal walls
Looks shiny
Visceral peritoneum
Covering organs
Intraperitoneal organs
Fixed to dorsal surface of abd. Cavity
Covered by visceral peritoneum (ex intestines)
Retroperitoneal organs
Attached to roof of abd. Cavity
Not covered by visceral peritoneum (ex kidneys)
Function of stomach
Mechanic Exocrine secretion (HCl, IF, mucus, digestive enzymes) Endocrine secretion (Gastrin, serotonin)
Types of stomach
Monogastric or polygastric
Simple or compound/complex
