Q

route of the oesophagus

A

follows trachea, inclines to the left then returns to median position, continues beyond trachea bifurcation (past the heart), penetrates the diaphragm, joins stomach at 11th-12th thoracic vertebrae

23
Q

where are simple columnar cells usually found

A

in areas with high secretory activity or absorptive activity

24
Q

gastric pits

A

form superficial invaginations and are lined by mucus-secreting columnar epithelium

25
Q

greater omentum sits between…

A

the ventral side of the organs and the ventral body wall

26
Q

order of organs in the ventral body

A

liver
stomach
spleen
descending duodenum
jejunum
bladder
diaphragm

27
Q

lesser omentum

A

attached to lesser curvature of the stomach to the portal fissure (dip in the liver)

28
Q

greater omentum

A

attached to greater curvature of stomach, left part of the colon and left part of the pancreas (deep and superficial leaves)

29
Q

omental bursa

A

potential space, area enclosed by greater omentum

30
Q

epiploic foramen

A

omental bursa opening to peritoneal cavity

31
Q

innovation of the omentum

A

blood vessels travel through the omentum to supply other organs such as the liver (eg- vena cava, portal vein)

32
Q

3 parts of the small intestines

A

duodenum, jejunum, ileum

33
Q

what does mesentery (connecting peritoneum) attach to

A

abdominal wall opposite the second lumbar vertebrae

34
Q

what supplies the large and small intestines with vessels, nerves and lymphatics

A

the mesentery

35
Q

structure of small intestine mucosa

A

highly folded

36
Q

plicae circulares

A

circular (transverse) folds formed by tunica mucosa and tunica submucosa

37
Q

enterocytes

A

columnar epithelium with vili on them in the small intestines

38
Q

crypt

A

contains goblet cells (make mucus) and neuroendocrine cells

39
Q

duodenum

A

-longest villi of all 3 small intestine regions
-columnar epithelium
-highest number of goblet cells

40
Q

what does the epithelium of the villi contain

A

goblet cells that secret mucus

41
Q

ileal mucosa contains…(AKA peyers patches)

A

large numbers of organised lymphoid tissues

42
Q

3 sections of the colon

A

ascending, transverse, descending

43
Q

which side is the descending duodenum on?

A

passes caudally on the right of the abdomen

44
Q

where is the caecum located

A

on the right side, ventral to the right kidney and small intestines (between 2nd and 4th lumbar vertebrae)

45
Q

where is the stomach located

A

on the left side between the 9th and 12th rib

46
Q

where is the ascending duodenum found

A

travels cranially on the left side of the root of the mesentery

47
Q

where is jejunum located

A

left side, reaches from stomach to pelvic inlet and greater omentum rests upon

48
Q

which thoracic vertebrae does the descending colon begin at

A

12th

49
Q

what is the main artery that supplies the stomach with blood

A

coeliac artery

50
Q

what are the 3 main branches of the coeliac artery

A

left gastric artery
hepatic artery
splenic artery

51
Q

where to the veins in the stomach drain to

A

portal vein

52
Q

arteries that supply the small intestines

A

cranial and caudal mesenteric artery

53
Q

why is the root of the mesentery thick

A

because it contains the cranial mesenteric artery

54
Q

what nerves innovate the stomach and small intestines

A

parasympathetic, sympathetic and enteric nervous system

55
Q

enteric nervous system

A

part of the autonomic nervous system and regulates motility

56
Q

what plexus are found in the enteric nervous system

A

submucosal (Meisner) plexus- to do with glands
myenteric (Auerbach) plexus- to do with muscle contraction of the GIT (eg- peristalsis)
