A

transverse colon

18
Q

What does the right coli artery supply?

A

ascending colon

19
Q

What does the left colic artery supply?

A

descending colon

20
Q

What are some common variations of the SMA?

A
  • common trunk for right and middle colic arteries
  • common trunk for right and ileocolic arteries
  • absent middle colic replaced by a large branch from left colic
  • absent right colic artery
21
Q

Nutcracker Syndrome

A
  • left renal vein (possible the 3rd part of the D) can become entrapped between the SMA and aorta an
  • hematuria, proteinuria, nausea, bilious vomit, left flank pain, left scrotal pain, varicocele
22
Q

What arteries contribute to the marginal artery?

A

middle, right, left, and ileo colic arteries

23
Q

What three arteries supply the rectum? where do they come from?

A

superior rectal artery - IMA
middle rectal artery - internal iliacs
inferior recta artery - internal pudendal

24
Q

Hemorrhoid Pain: Internal vs. External

A

Internal are NOT painful because they are under autonomic control, while external are painful because they are under somatic control

25
Q

What causes internal hemorrhoids? external?

A
  1. prolapse of the rectal mucosa that contains the normally dilated veins of the internal venous plexus
  2. thromboses or blood clots in veins of the external venous plexus
26
Q

When does the IVC enter the abdomen?

A

at T8 through the canal opening

27
Q

What are the four portal canal anastomoses? what comprises them?

A

esophageal - left gastric/azygous
rectal - superior rectal/middle or inf recta
paraumbilical - paraumbilical/epigastric
retroperitoneal - colic veins/systemic retroperitoneal veins

28
Q

Esophageal varices

A

due to portal hypertension

-if they rupture, it can be life threatening

29
Q

What causes portal hypertension?

A

scarring and fibrosis from cirrhosis obstruct the hepatic portal vein in the liver, and pressure rises in the vein

30
Q
