GALL BLADDER Flashcards
Treatment of choice for symptomatic gallstones
Laparascopic cholecystectomy
measurement of a gallbladder
7 to 10 cm long
average capacity
30-50ml
Location of gallbaldder
anatomic fossa on the inferior surface of the licer
Cantle’s line
vertical plane running from the gallbladder fossa anteriorly to the inferior vena canca posteriorly divides left to right lobes
four anatomic areas
fundus, body, infundibulum, neck
mucosal lining of GB
single, highly redundant, simple, columnar epithelium contains cholesterol and fat globules
Epi lining supported by
LAMINA PROPRIA
Gallbladder differs histologicallt from the rest of Gi TRACTS
Lacks muscularis, mucosa and submucosa
Cystic arrert supplies GB usually a branch of the right hepatic artery
gallbladder lymphatrics drain into nodes
neck of the gallbladder
Visible lymph node (Lund’s or Mascagni’s node - overlies rge insertion of cystic artery into gb wall
Calot’s node
galllbaldder receives
parasympha, sympha, and semsory innervation via nerve fibers runnung largely via GASTRO HEPATIC LIGAMENT
Parasymphatetic cholinergic arise from where
HEPATIC BRANCH OF VAGUS NERVE
Vagal nerve branches also have PEPTIDE-CONTAINING NERVES
somatostatin, enkephalins, substance P, VIP
extrahepatic biliary tree consist of
right and left hepatic ducts, common bile ducrs, cystic duct and other common bile duct
common hepatic duct extends
1-4cm
segment of the cystic ducr immediately adjacent to the gallbladder neck bears a variable number of mucosal folds
SPIRAL VALVES OF HEISTER
Union of the cystic duct and the common hepatic ducr start of the common bile ducr.
7-11cm in length and 5-10 cm in diameter
Union of the cystic duct and the common hepatic ducr start of the common bile ducr.
7-11cm in length and 5-10 cm in diameter
Upper third (Supraduodenal portion)
passes downward in the free edge of the hepatoduodenal ligament, to the righ of the hepatic artery and anterior to the portal vein.
Middle third (retroduodenal portion)
bile ducr curves behind the first portion of the duodenum and diverges laterallt from the porral vein and hepatic arteries
lower third (pancreatic portion)
curve behind the head of the pancreas
sphincter of oddi
thick coat of circular smooth muscle, surroubds the common bile duct. Controls the flow of bile, and pancreatic juice and into duodenum.
The arterial supply to the bile ducts derived from
GASTRODUODENAL AND RIGHT HEPATIC ARTERIES, MAJOR TRUNKS LATERAL WALLS OF THE COMMON DUCT
Normal adult consuming an average diet
500-1000ml of bile a day
