vagus -> secretion
symp T7-9 -> dilate blood vessels (via celiac plexsus)
- referred to inf. epigastric (inflammation pushes against duodenum)
blood supply of pancreas
branches off of the splenic artery
what are the three parts of the sphincter of oddi?
sphincter ductus choledoci (bile duct)
sphincter ductus pancreatici (pancreatic duct)
around entire ampulla
what are the two ducts of the pancreas?
main pancreatic duct (Duct of Wirsung)

what (9) things are in the transpyloric plane?
L1
9th costal cartilage
sup. part of duodenum
sup. of pylorus
hili of kidneys
neck of pancreas
SMA
start of portal vein
fundus of GB
what is the psoas sign? what organs are apart of this?
when contracted (flex/extend thigh) it will bulge and if an organ is inflamed it will cause pain
- kidneys, ureters, retrocecal appendix
where does lymph from organs on the lateral and retroperitoneal side go to?
para-aortic nodes
where does lymph from the midline gut go to?
pre-aortic nodes (along vessels)
where does lymph from organs belwo the diaphragm go to?
posterior abdominal nodes
where does all lymph drain to? describe it’s location
cisterna chyli
- right of aorta
- below renal artery
- L1-2
what organs drain their lymph to the lateral aortic nodes?
lateral body wall
kidney
suprarenals
testis
ovary
what nodes do the lower limbs and perineum drain their lymph to? (describe the pathway)
external iliac nodes
common iliac nodes
pre-aortic & lateral aortic nodes
what do lymph nodes do?
makes lymphocytes be exposed to antigens in the lymph system (fluid)
- blood and lymph flow through separate compartments
- uses high endothelial venules
what type of cells produce antigens?
B cells and T cells
what does MALT do for lymphocytes?
expose them to antigens from outside world
- antigens from respiratory or intestinal systems
what does the spleen do for lymphocytes?
expose them to antigens in the blood
at what rib is the spleen located? intra or retro peritoneal?
9th-10th rib
- intraperitoneal
what two ligaments hold the spleen?
splenorenal lig
gastrosplenic lig
what is the INN of the spleen? referred pain?
vagus
symp T7-9 (via celiac plexsus)
- referred to left hypochondriac region
what are the three functions of the spleen?
expose immune cells to antigens in the blood & prevent sepsis (white pulp) -> lymphocytes
filter out defective RBCs (red pulp) -> macrophages
in infants, it helps make blood
what does the right suprarenal gland touch? (3)
liver, IVC, diaphragm
what does the left suprarenal touch? (4)
stomach, pancreas, spleen, diaphragm
what does the cortex of the adrenal do?
makes mineralcorticoids, glucocorticoids, sex hormones
what does the medulla of the adrenal do? whats an important cell here??
circulates catecholamines (adrenaline, noadrenaline)
-basophilic cells (NS tissue)
what is the blood supply of the adrenals?
inferior phrenic a
aorta
renal a
what does the right adrenal drain to? what about the left?
right = drains to IVC
left = drains to left renal v.
what is the arterial blood flow of the kidney?
renal a
segmental a
interlobar a
arcuate a
inerlobular a
superficial glomeruli OR juxtamedullary glomeruli
- afferent a
- glomerulus
- efferent a.
- peritubular capillary bed OR vasa recta
how is blood filtered in bowman’s space?
using fenestrated capillaries with podocytes
- uses transport mechanisms to only allow certain molecules in
what is an important cell type in the juxtaglomerular aparatus? what does it secrete?
macula densa
-secretes renin
what is the function of lacis cells? describe the pathway this starts
reads BP in afferent arteriole
- LOW = triggers macula densa to release renin
- renin induces liver to produce angiotensin 1 -> angio 2
- constricts vessels, increases aldosterone (adrenal), and increases water retention (kidneys)
what things lead to renal failure?
drop in pH, hematocrit, calcium
rise in K+, phosphate, urea, BP
what is the blood supply of the ureters? (4)
renal a
testicular / ovarian a
common iliac
internal iliac
what are the three constriction areas in the ureters? (areas for kidney stones)
ureteropelvic junction (ureter / kidney)
pelvic inlet (over iliac a.)
entrance to bladder
what is the pathway of urine after the collecting duct?
ducts of bellini
area cribrosa at apex of papilla
minor calyx
major calyx
renal pelvix
ureter
what is the INN of the kidney & ureter?
parasymp
- vagus = kidney, upper ureter
- pelvic splanchnic = lower ureter, bladder
symp T10-L1 (along aorta & thru sacrum)
describe the effect of parasympathetic activity on the bladder
nerve of empty!!
- contracts detrusor muscle (+)
- relaxes internal urethral sphincter (-)
- pudendal nerve constricts external sphincter (somatic)
