Gastro-Intestinal Anatomy (part II) Flashcards
What does the biliary tree consist of
Right and left hepatic ducts common hepatic duct Cystic duct common Bile duct main pancreatic ducts
the right and left hepatic ducts join to form what
Common hepatic duct
the cystic duct of the gallbladder joins with what to form the common bile duct
the common hepatic duct
the triangle between the cystic duct, common hepatic duct and the liver is known as what
Callot’s triangle
Callot’s triangle, formed by the cystic duct, the common hepatic duct and the liver, contains what
the cystic artery
the Common bile duct travels in the free edge of what
the lesser omentum
why traveling in the free edge of the lesser omentum it also travels with what
proper hepatic artery and the portal vein
the common bile duct passes through what
the head of the pancreas
after passing through the head of the pancreas the common bile duct is joined by what
the main pancreatic duct
after joining with the main pancreatic duct both the common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct opens up where
into the second part of the duodenum
the opening of the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct into the duodenum is guarded by what
the smooth muscle Sphincter of Oddi
The gallbladder can contain how much bile
50cc’s
where does the gallbladder lie in the body
in a fossa in the liver between the right and quadrate lobes
the gallbladder has four parts. What are they
fundus
body
neck
cystic duct
The small intestine lies between what
the duodenum and the large intestine
the small intestine is subdivided into what
the proximal part and the distal part
the proximal part of the SI is what
Jejunum and it occupies the upper left part of the abdomen, is thicker, wider and more vascular than the distal part
The distal par of the SI is what
the Ileum and it occupies the lower right part of the abdomen and is thinner, narrower and less vascular than the proximal part
The mesentery of the jejunum has large what
translucent windows, with few large vascular arcades with longer and fewer vasa recta
the mesentery of the ileum small what
opaque windows, numerous smaller arcades and numerous short vasa recta
The ileum has numerous lymphoid aggregates called what
Peyer’s patches (Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue)
the Superior mesenteric artery supplies all of the what
SI and Large intestine up to the Proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon
The large intestine has what that the SI does not
Haustra, teniae coli, appendices epiploica and a large diameter
The Colon is subdivided into what
Cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon
the appendix is approximately how long
4” long
