Feb2 M3-Anatomy Lecture 4 Flashcards
spleen 1x3x5x7x9x11 rule
- size is 1x3x5 inches
- weight is 7 oz
- position is between 9th and 11th rib
name of abd region where spleen is + anterior and posterior structure
left hypochondriac region
A: splenic flexure of the colon
P: diaphragm
relationship of organs and mesentery near spleen in primitive embryonic stage
anterior to posterior: liver, stomach, spleen, aorta. all peritoneal
relationships of organs near the spleen in adults and how lesser sac is formed
intraperitoneal: spleen goes to the left. stomach a bit anterior. liver to the right. tail of pancreas
retroperitoneal: pancreas (head and neck), aorta, ..
ligament connecting the spleen to the back wall (of abd wall)
splenorenal (or lienorenal) ligament: between kidney and pancreas
ligament connecting spleen at the front
gastrosplenic ligament
ventral mesentary connecting the liver to the umbilicus
falciform ligament
2 surfaces of the spleen + 3 impressions
diaphragmatic surface (outer) visceral surface (inner): renal impression, colic impression and gastric impression
ligament that supports the spleen but that doesn’t connect to it
phrenicocolic ligament (between diaphragm and colon)
2 ligaments that support the spleen: components and composition
lienorenal and gastrosplenic (contain vessels and CT)
splenic artery vs splenic vein
splenic a.: curly, sup border of pancreas
splenic v: straight. middle back of pancreas
3 veins forming portal vein
splenic vein, SMV, IMV
splenomegaly def and causes
enlargement of the spleen. back pressure from portal htn or spleen working too hard (hemolytic anemia) or infiltration from leukemia or lymphoma
4 functions of the spleen
- storage of RBCs
- destruction of worn-out RBCs
- Removal of foreign material from the blood
- Production of mononuclear leukocytes
organs that take over the spleen when it’s removed
liver and bone marrow
pancreas head relations + special portion
is in curve of D2. posterior: IVC and bile duct
anterior: SMA and SMV
uncinate process: elongation to the left
common bile duct is junction of what
cystic duct from gallbladder and common hepatic duct in the liver
where common bile duct and main pancreatic duct join and name of region where they’re joined before entering D2
in head of the pancreas hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater)
name of sphincter and name of opening where hepatopancreatic ampulla opens in D2
sphincter of Oddi
major duodenal papilla
sphincter of Oddi (or sphincter of ampulla) composition
muscular valve
in people with extra pancreatic duct, name of the duct + name of opening
- accessory pancreatic duct (or duct of Santorini)
- minor duodenal papilla
blood supply to the pancreas (each part)
head: ant and post superior PD a. + ant and post inferior PD a.
neck: dorsal pancreatic a
body and tail: splenic a. and transverse pancreatic a.
2 surfaces of the liver and what covers them
diaphragmatic = top, visceral peritoneum on it
visceral surface = bottom, visceral peritoneum on it
bare area intra or retroperitoneal + what defines it
retroperitoneal. area in back of liver not covered with perit. bc greater sac stopped on one side and lesser sac stopped on other side
falciform ligament function
attaches the liver to the anterior body wall
ligamentum teres hepatis: meaning in english, what it comes from and where it is
round ligament of the liver. remnant of fetal umbilical veins. hangs down falciform ligament
what traverses the bare area and what surrounds it
traversed by IVC and esophagus
surrounded by coronary ligament
coronary ligament of the liver def
parts of the peritoneal reflections that hold the liver to the inferior surface of the diaphragm
