General Arrangement of the Abdominal Viscera Flashcards
Is a large organ that occupies the upper part of the abdominal cavity it lies almost entirely under the cover of the ribs and causal cartilages and extends across the epigastric region.
Liver
Is a pear shaped sac that is adherent to the under surface of the right lobe of the liver it’s blind and or fundus projects below the inferior border of the liver.
Gallbladder
Is a tubular structure that joins the pharynx to the stomach. It pierces the diaphragm slightly to the left of the midline and after a short course of about 0.5 in (1.25 cm) enter systemic on its right side. It is deeply placed lying behind the left lobe of the liver.
Esophagus
Is a dilated part of the alimentary canal between the esophagus and the small intestine it occupies left upper quadrant, epigastric, and umbilical regions, and much of it lies undercover of the ribs it’s long axis passes downward and forward to the right and then backward and slightly upward.
Stomach
Is divided into three regions do duodenum, jejunum, and ilium
Small intestine
Is the first part of the small intestine and most of it is deeply placed on the posterior abdominal wall it is situated in the epigastric and umbilical regions it is a C-shaped tube that extends from the stomach around the head of the pancreas to join the jejunum.
Duodenum
Together measures about 20 ft 6 m long.
Jejunum and ileum
True or false.
The judgment begins at the duodenogenal function and the ilium ends at the iliosical junction.
True
Occupy the upper left part of the abdominal cavity whereas the ilium tends to occupy the lower right of the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity.
The coils of jejunum
Is divided into the cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon sigmoid colon, rectum, and anal canal.
It arches around and encloses the coils of the small intestine and tends to be more fixed than the small intestine.
Large intestine
Is a blind ended sac that projects downward and the right iliac region below the iliocecal junction.
Cecum
Is a worm shaped tube that arises from its medial side.
Appendix
Extents upward from the cecum to the interior surface of the right lobe of the liver occupying the right lower and upper quadrants.
Ascending colon
From the ascending colon, on reaching the liver, it bends to the left forming the?
Right colic flexure
Crosses the abdomen and the umbilical region from the right colic fletcher to the left colic flexure.
Transverse colon
