GI anatomy Flashcards
foregut location
from stomach to 1/2 way along duodenum
midgut location
distal 1/2 duodenum to proximal 2/3 transverse colon
hindgut location
distal 1/3 transverse colon to rectum
arteries to foregut midgut and hindgut
foregut=coeliac trunk
midgut=SMA
hindgut=IMA
veins to the fore, mid and hindgut
foregut= tributaries of the portal vein
midgut=SMV
hindgut=IMV
sympathetic nerve supply to fore, mid and hindgut
foregut=dominant greater splanchnic nerve (t6-t9)
midgut=dominant: lesser and least splanchnic (t10-t12)
hindgut=lumbar splanchnic (l1-2)
parasympathetic nerve supply to foregut, midgut and hindgut
foregut=vagus
midgut=vagus
hindgut=pevic splachnic nerve (s2-s4)
coeliac trunk divisions
superior divisions
inferior divisions
coeliac left gastric artery common hepatic artery (gastroduodenal a.) splenic artery (omental a.) superior middle colic right colic inferior pancreaticduodenal ileocaecal ileum and jejunum Inferior sigmoidal superior rectal left colic
4 differences between ileum and jejunum
- jejunum has plicae so feels fuller
2.jejunum longer vasa recta so looks less vascularised
3.jejunum less fat - jejunum upper
ileum lower
features of the colon
taeniae coli
omental appendices
haustra
colic flexures
histology feature of protective epithelium
stratified squamous
histology feature of secretory epithelium
long tubular glands
histology feature of absorptive epithelium
mucosa arranged into villi with short glands
histology feature of absorptive/ protective epithelium
closely packed straight tubular glands
outer to inner histology of gut tube
adventitia outer longitudinal MP auberach's plexus inner circular MP submucosa (meissner's plexus mucosa: muscularis externa lamina propria epithelium
