Q

Lesser Sac

A

A recess of the peritoneal cavity that lies between the stomach and posterior abdominal wall.
Opening to the lesser sac is on the right side called Foramen of Winslow.

22
Q

Foramen of Winslow

A

opening to the lesser sac on the right side (only opening)

23
Q

Greater Omentum

A

a large apron-like fold of visceral peritoneum (fat & tissue) that hangs down from the stomach and drapes over the transverse colon, small intestines, and descending colon.

Has some ability to protect organs in region by wrapping itself around a tumor or something if need be.

24
Q

Lesser Omentum

A

is between the inferior liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach. It contains the falciform ligament, the hepatogastric ligament, and the hepatoduodenal ligament

25
Q

Hepatogastric ligament

A

connects the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach; basically lays over the lesser omentum

26
Q

Hepatoduodenal ligament

A

Contains proper hepatic artery, common bile duct, and hepatic portal vein

27
Q

Esophagus

A

muscular tube that brings food and liquid down from pharynx to stomach; pierces the diaphragm at T10 level.

Blood supplied by esophageal branches of aorta & left gastric artery of celiac trunk)

Veinous drainage by esophagus branches of azygos vein & left gastric vein to portal vein

28
Q

Stomach

A

functions as a blender and reservoir for food to be mechanically and chemically prepared for digestion;

Blood is supplied via branches off celiac trunk (which branch off aorta): left and right gastric arteries to the lesser curvature, right and left gastro-omental arteries to the greater curvature, and short gastric arteries to the fundus & upper stomach

Venous drainage: right and left gastric veins from lesser curvature to portal vein, short gastric and left gastro-omental into splenic vein, right gastro-omental into superior mesenteric vein

29
Q

Celiac Trunk

A

branches off aorta and supplies the foregut

30
Q

Spleen

A

functions as a lymphatic organ (proliferation), immune surveillance, recycles old RBCs and platelets and is reservoir of RBCs & platelets

most vascular organ; vulnerable to injury but protected by lower left ribcage; held in place by gastrosplenic ligament & splenorenal ligament

blood supplied by splenic artery which branches off celiac trunk

venous drainage by splenic vein to portal vein

31
Q

Duodenum

A 
Is the first part of the small intestine, extending from the pylorus to the duodenojejunal junction.  Functions to receive chyme mixed with stomach acid, enzymes and digestive juices to aid in digestion
There are four parts: 
1st- superior (intraperitoneal)
2nd-descending (retroperitoneal)
3rd- horizontal (retroperitoneal) 
4th- ascending (intraperitoneal)

Blood supplied by: celiac trunk (superior pancreaticoduodenal artery) and SMA (inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries)

Venous drainage: parallel arteries that drain into the splenic vein/ SMV

32
Q

Ligament of Treitz

A

suspensory ligament that connects the diaphragm to the 4th part of duodenum

33
Q

Sphincter of Oddi

A

Releases bile into the 2nd part of the duodenum.

34
Q

Bile is produced?

A

Bile is produced in the liver, which will go down the left and right hepatic ducts into the common hepatic duct and all the way down to the sphincter of Oddi. If sphincter closed then it will go back up common bile duct and pool into the gallbladder for storage.

35
Q

Pancreas

A

is an accessory digestive gland that produces pancreatic juices which enters into the duodenum via main and accessory pancreatic ducts. Also secretes insulin & glucagon

Located posterior to stomach. Has 5 parts: Head, Uncinate process, Neck, Body, and Tail.

Blood supplied by pancreatic arteries ( from splenic artery) & superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery

Venous drainage: pancreatic veins drain to splenic veins which drain to portal vein.

36
Q

Portal Triad

A

Consists of the portal vein, proper hepatic artery, and common bile duct. Travels within the hepatoduodenal ligament

37
Q

Falciform Ligament

A

separates the left and right love of the liver

38
Q

Caudate Lobe

A

Located within the right lobe; has its own blood supply and drainage so can functionally independently

39
Q

Ligamentum Teres

A

located in the liver right next/underneath the falciform ligament

40
Q

Liver

A

Functions to process nutrients from GI tract, store glycogen, secretor of bile, detoxification, & phagocytosis

blood supply:
celiac trunk–>common hepatic artery–> hepatic artery proper–> right and left hepatic arteries

Venous drainage:
right, intermediate, left hepatic veins drain into IVC

41
Q

Gallbladder

A

When bile is not used, it is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.
Blood supplied by: cystic artery (branches from right hepatic artery)
Venous drainage: cystic veins which drains to portal vein or to liver

42
Q

Tenaie Coli

A

the middle white part that runs along the large intestine; it is a band of smooth muscle

43
Q

Cecum

A

blind intestinal pouch at the most proximal end of the large intestine; it is joined by the Ileum; gives rise to the appendix

44
Q

Appendix

A

Comes off of the cecum; has its own supply of mesentery and artery

45
Q

Large intestine

A

This is where absorption of water from foods that are going to be shitted occurs.

Blood supplied by: SMA branches (ileocolic artery, right colic artery, middle colic artery) which are all joined together via marginal artery

Venous drainage: drain to the SMV–>portal vein

46
Q

Superior rectal artery

A

supplied 2/3 of the anal canal and last branch off of the IMA

47
Q

Suprarenal arteries

A

There are three: superior, middle, and inferior
Superior: branches off of the inferior phrenic artery and call these little arteries connect directly to the adrenal gland on top of kidney
Middle: branches off of the abdominal aorta and connects also to the adrenal gland
Inferior: branches off of the renal artery and connects to the underside of adrenal gland

48
Q

Renal Artery

A

Comes off the abdominal aorta at the same level as the SMA

49
Q

Umbilical artery

A

Branches off of the internal iliac artery

50
Q

Where is the Sphincter of Oddi located?

A

2nd part of the duodenom

51
Q

Where does the bile and pancreatic enzymes secrete into?

A

2nd part of the duodenom
