GI anatomy Flashcards
parts of stomach
pylorus
body
fundus
greater curvature
lesser curvature
arteries of greater and lesser curvature
greater curvature: right and left gastric arteries
lesser curvature: right and left gastroepiploic arteries
left gastroepiploic artery
in lesser curvature
branch of splenic artery
right gastroepiploic artery
in lesser curvature
branch of gastroduodenal a.
which branches from common hepatic a.
parts of small intestine
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
structures of inferior surface of liver
gallbladder
cystic duct
common hepatic duct
common bile duct
parts of pancreas
head
neck
body
tail
arterial supply tail of pancreas
branches of splenic artery
arterial supply head of pancreas
pancreatic-duodenal arteries
4 lobes of liver
right
left
caudate - inferior aspect
quadrate - inferior aspect
ligaments of liver
falciform ligament
- to anterior body wall
- vertical, between lobes
coronary ligament
- to diaphragm
- horizontal, above liver
components of porta hepatis
proper hepatic artery
portal vein
common bile duct
tributaries of portal vein
superior mesenteric vein
splenic vein
between duodenum and jejunum
duodeno-jejunal junction
between ileum and cecum
ileocecal junction
cecum
pouch at beginning of ascending colon
parts of colon
cecum
ascending colon
transverse colon
descending colon
(rectum)
bend of ascending colon
hepatic flexure
transverse colon is between ____
hepatic and splenic flexures
appendix
extends from cecum
may be retrocecal or pelvic
other orientations also possible
SMA
- superior mesenteric artery
- unpaired branch of aorta
- emerges from under pancreas and goes over duodenum
one part of duodenal “sandwich” (other being celiac artery)
intestinal branches of SMA
ileocolic artery: ileocecal area
middle colic: transverse colon
right colic artery: ascending colon
arterial supply of ileocecal area
ileocolic artery
- intestinal branch of SMA
arterial supply of transverse colon
middle colic artery
- intestinal branch of SMA
arterial supply of ascending colon
right colic artery
- intestinal branch of SMA
SMV is tributary to
portal vein
which is tributary to IVC
(SMV = superior mesenteric vein)
bend of transverse colon near spleen
splenic flexure
structure of descending colon
tenia coli = smooth muscle running along length, look almost like tendons
haustra = sacs
epiploic appendages = small, fat-filled sacs
S shaped part of colon, after descending colon
sigmoid colon
inferior mesenteric artery
unpaired branch of aorta
superior to bifurcation of aorta
unpaired branches of aorta
superior to inferior:
- Celiac artery
- superior mesenteric artery
- inferior mesenteric artery
arterial supply of left splenic flexure
left colic artery
arterial supply of sigmoid colon
sigmoidal arteries
anastomosis of middle and left colic arteries
marginal artery
(middle = branch of SMA; left = branch of IMA)
clinical significance of marginal artery
aortic dissection repair
inferior mesenteric artery may need to be removed so anastomosis allows hindgut to still receive blood supply, now mostly from SMA
inferior mesenteric vein is tributary to ____
___ and ___ are tributary to inferior mesenteric vein
…
arterial supply of foregut
celiac artery
arterial supply of midgut
SMA
arterial supply of hindgut
inferior mesenteric artery
nerve supply of foregut
celiac plexus
nerve supply of midgut
superior mesenteric plexus
nerve supply of hindgut
inferior mesenteric plexus
tributaries of common bile duct
cystic duct (gallbladder) and common hepatic duct (liver)
branches of celiac trunk
left gastric artery
splenic artery
common hepatic artery, branches to:
- hepatic artery proper
- gastroduodenal artery
trace tributaries of portal vein through to IVC
superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein to portal vein
portal vein to liver for detox
hepatic veins drain liver
they are tributary to IVC
