Digestive System II Flashcards
large folds in the mucosal layer to increase absorptive surface area (jejunum and ileum)
plica
finger like projections that are covered with columnar epithelium and goblet cells (jejunum and ileum)
villi
fats that have been absorbed and combined with protein to make them soluble, are too large to enter blood capillaries and must enter the lacteal and then from lymphatics go to blood (jejunum and ileum)
chylomicrons
major artery of the jejunum and ileum is
superior mesenteric artery
the jejunum and ileum are structures of ____ in origin
midgut
what two branches does the superior mesenteric artery give off that go to the jejunum and ileum
- arterial arcades (arcuate arteries)
2. vasa recta (straight arteries)
vessels that directly vascularize the small intestinal loops and project from the arcuate arteries
vasa recta (straight arteries)
venous return is through the ileal and jejunal veins which eventually drain into the
superior mesenteric vein
the superior mesenteric vein join with ____ to from the ___
splenic vein
portal vein
what makes up the portal vein
superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein
the jejunum has ____ vasa recta
long
the ileum has ___ vasa recta
short
sympathetic innervation of the jejunum and ileum
superior mesenteric ganglia (pregang nerve: lesser splanchnic T10-T11)
what is the sympathetics function for the jejunum and ileum
decrease motility in the intestine
parasympathetic innervation of the jejunum and ileum
posterior vagal trunk
what is the parasympathetic function for the jejunum and ileum
stimulate motility and secretions of the intestines
pain sensation is NON EXISTENT, however ______ is perceived as colic in the jejunum and ileum
distention
what makes up the large intestine
cecum, appendix, ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon, rectum, and upper anal canal
sacculations found on the colon
haustra
3 longitudinal bands of muscle along the length of the large intestine, forms the haustra and helps propel the bolus during peristalsis
teniae coli
fatty projections attached to the teniae coli
omental appendices (epiploic)
the cecum is found in what quadrant and what arterial supply
RLQ, ileocolic artery (45* down to the right)
innervation of the cecum (para and sym)
para- vagus
sym - superior mesenteric ganglia: preganglionic fibers - lesser splanchnic nerve
partial invagination of the ileum into the cecum, producing two folds that cover the passage of the ileum to the cecum
ileocecal valve
a diverticulum attached to the cecum with an appendicular arterial branch providing blood from the ileocolic artery
appendix
in the young the appendix is a ____, in the elderly the mucosa becomes mostly ___
lymphoid structure
fibrotic
sensory pain fibers follow the sympathetics along the ___ spinal level for the appendix
T10
the ascending colon is a _____ structure
retroperitoneal
the arterial supply of the ascending colon is by the ____ and MAINLY the _____
ileocolic arteries
right colic arteries
the transverse colon is a ____ structure
intraperitoneal
