Foregut Flashcards
Meckel’s diverticulum
embryological remnant of the yolk sac that does not close; could have feces coming out belly button or notice it’s always wet; have to rule this out in apendicitis
omphalocele
failure of GI tract to retract into the abdominal cavity results in failure of the abdominal wall to close; needs surgical correction
Foramen of winslow aka epiploic foramen
the opening beneath the free edge (right side) of the ventral mesentery or lesser omentum
greater omentum
aprom mostly made of fat for protection and energy
How is the connection with the posterior wall maintained?
transverse mesocolon
intraperitoneal
organs that are wrapped in visceral peritoneum; free floating in abdomen
retroperitoneal
organs outside of the peritoneum
primary retroperitoneal
Organs that developed against the back wall behind the peritoneum
Secondary retroperitoneal
organs that started w/ vesceral peritoneum but lost it when theym moved back
__ umbilical vein and ___ umbilical arteries
1 umbilical vein 2 umbilical arteries. the arteries are the medial umbilical folds
What structure is the obliterated umbilical vein?
ligamentum teres - the free edge of the falciform ligament
falciform ligament is ?
ventral mesentery
the lesser omentum or ventral mesentery is made up of what two ligaments?
hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligament
what portion of the stomach empties into the sphinctor?
pylorus
cardiac sphincter
where the esophagus meets the stomach
foregut blood supply is from what a.?
celiac trunk: 3 main branches being l. gastric, splenic and common hepatic
left gastric supplies
left side of lesser curvature of stomach
splenic a supplies
spleen and branches to supply fundus of stomach and left side of greater curvature (l. gastroepiploic)
common hepatic supplies
divides into hepatic proper and gastroduodenal. hepatic proper into r. and l. hepatic, r. hepatic branches to cystic to supply gallbladder. gastroduodenal gives off r. gastroepiploic. hepatic proper gives off right gastric to supply r. side of lesser curvature
Describe the parasympathetic innervation of CN X
the vagus nerves form a plexus on the esophagus then branch to anterior and posterior trunks which catch rides on blood vessels to the organs; (post ganglionics are w/i organ)
What all does CN X supply parasympathetics to?
mid gut and hind gut -
all of the gut down to the splenic flexure
What give parasympathetic innervation to the hindgut?
S2-4
What provides sympathetics to the abdominal organs through the preaortic ganglia?
thoracic and lumbar splanchnics
thoracic splanchnics
(greater, lesser, least) enter through the diaphragm and synapse on preaortic ganglia, and postganlgionics catch a ride of the blood vessels
