Q

What is an intramural gland?

A

Invagination from the epithelium. Projection of the epithelium. Enters the gi (alimentary) tract. These are glands within the wall of the digestive tract. The circular part is the secretory component. Its secretions travel through ducts (the path, as in straight part) into the lumen of alimentary canal.

Q

What is an extramural gland?

A

They are outside the alimentary tract wall. They include the liver, pancreas, etc. Circular part is the secretory unit. It has a stroma (acts like lamina propria) with connective tissues and nerves in order to support it, since it does not have the many layers surrounding the alimentary tract.

Q

Achlasia

A

Affects the esophagus. Lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax, or literally just has a higher tension than it should be, so food bolus is not allowed to progress into the stomach. In addition to this, there is NO peristaltic activity present in the esphophagus…loss of upper esophageal sphincter with esophageal distention. Result: dilated esophagus. Patients present with difficulty swallowing and regurg of the food.

Q

VIPomas

A

1:10000000 exceptionally rare neuroendocrine tumor located in the pancreas. Leads to excessive, unregulated vasoactive intestine peptide secretion. results in watery diarrhea that persists with fasting, stool volume exceeding 3k mL/day, and hypokalemia and dehydration.

Q

Omphalocele

A

cele = seal = what happened to the gut tube. It is still sealed away. Associated with other SERIOUS issues. Reason of occurrence is that intestines do not retract from vitelline duct before birth.

27
Q

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF)

A

Note that respiratory system is still derived from the gut tube…foregut. Remember that the lung buds project off the foregut and give rise to the respiratory system. In this particular issue, the distal part of the esophagus is still attached to the lungs. The proximal part has a dead end (Atresia occurs at this point). EXPECT POLYHYDRAMNIOS!!!!! Reason: fetus swallows amnionic fluid, but it does not progress through the digestive system. You can expect vomiting because of this. Gastric contents may pass through the fistula and into the respiratory tract as well. You can expect to find fluid in the lungs because of this.

28
Q

Annular pancreas

A

Ring of pancreatic tissue around the duodenum. occurs when ventral and dorsal buds of pancreas do not wrap around and completely migrate during gut rotation. Expect obstruction of duodenum in this area.

29
Q

Duodenal atresia

A

Duodenum is stenotic. Remember that it formed as a solid structure (as in, there is no lumen!!!) and then catalyzes (and lumen is formed). If catalysis does not occur, this is the end result, as there is no lumen. Double bubble = gas in the stomach and gas in the proximal side of where the atresia occurred in duodenum. Neonate would have distension and associated vomiting

30
Q

Gastroschisis

A

Intestines are not covered by membranes of vitellin duct…exposed to amnionic fluid…when the intestines leave through umbillical cord. Intestines are exposed to amnionic fluid. Caused by improper VENTRAL body folding in development. Note: endoderm is on VENTRAL SIDE

31
Q

Meckel’s ileal diverticulum

A

Vitelline duct connects midgut to the yolk sac. It is supposed to digress and degenerate. Sometimes it does not. Multiple variations. This occurs in the ilium.

32
Q

Imperforate anus

A

No A-hole. Failure of anal membrane to degenerate.

33
Q

Hirschprung’s disease

congenital megacolon

A

Aganglionosis. Faulty neural crest migration to the colon. Usually occurs in the distal part of the colon (desending). Result is a distended sigma colon proximal to the aganglionosis. Expect distended belly due to missing nervous innervation.

34
Q

Where does the body cavity form from?

A

lateral plate mesoderm

35
Q

Which part of embryo forms dorsal side? ventral side?

A

Dorsal: parietal/somatic mesoderm
Ventral: visceral/splanchnic mesoderm

36
Q

What is the mesentry?

A

This is where parietal and visceral mesoderm peritoneum (serosa) meet. Suspends the gut tube to the posterior abdominal wall. Allows for blood vessels and nervous structures to come through. to supply to gut tube.

37
Q

Job of visceral peritoneum

A

note that the visceral peritoneum covers organs directly.

38
Q

What’s in the portal triad? What contains it?

A

portal vein, hepatic artery proper, bile duct in hepatoduodenal ligament

39
Q

Pringle maneuver

A

go in and clamp the hepatoduodenal ligament. cuts off blood supply to the liver. controls its hemeorraging.

40
Q

What’s in intraperitoneal (anterior), visceral peritoneum

A 
stomach
- part 1 of duodenum
jejunum, ileum
- cecum, appendix
transverse-sigmoid colon
- gall bladder
- liver
- tail of pancreas
- spleen
41
Q

What’s in secondary retroperitoneal (posterior, parietal peritoneum)

A

most of duodenum

  • ascending-descending colon
  • upper rectum
  • head-neck-body of pancreas
42
Q

What’s in primary retroperitoneal (MOST parietal peritoneum)

A
  • abdominal aorta
  • inferior vena cava
  • lower rectum
  • anal canal
  • kidneys
  • suprarenal/adrenals
  • ureters
43
Q

INtraperitoneal organs feel pain due to what peritoneum? What kind of pain?

A

visceral peritoneum. dull, broad pain

44
Q

Retroperitoneal organs feel pain due to what peritoneum?

A

parietal peritoneum. Sharp, localized pain.

45
Q

Volvulus

A

twisting of organs together. can lead to ischemia.

46
Q 
Blood supply for:
stomodeum:
foregut:
midgut:
hindgut:
proctodeum:
A

stomodeum: aorta
foregut: celiac AT T12
midgut: sma AT L1
hindgut: ima AT L3
proctodeum: internal iliac. Note that all of these are branches of abdominal aorta.

47
Q

What controls psns of foregut, midgut?

A

CN X

48
Q

What controls psns of hindgut?

A

pelvic splanchnic S2, 3, 4 to

postsynaptic ganglia

49
Q

What controls sns and PSNS to proctodeum?

A

pudendal s2, 3, 4

50
Q

What controls sns to stomodeum, forgut, midgut, and hindgut

A

T1-L2 splanchnic to postsynaptic ganglia

51
Q

What happens if you crush sma?

A

Cuts off left renal vein, and thus left gonadal vein circulation.

52
Q

Explain bile pathway from liver to duodenum

A

right and left hepatic bile duct drain into common bile duct. some get stored in bile by going through cystic bile duct. If bile is needed again, it comes out again through the same cystic bile duct into second party of duodenum.

53
Q

Portal system or venal system drains intraperitoneal and secondary retroperitoneal viscera (gut)? Which parts drain hindgut?

A

Portal system. hind gut drined by imv and splenic vein

54
Q

T/F: Renal veins are part of portal system

A

False. Caval system.

55
Q

Describe general psns setup

A

Starts with vagus (presynaptic para symp). ganglion on gut wall. Postgang a prasymp is in visceral wall. in the case of of anal canal, presynaptic is is pelvic splanchnics. the post synaptics if still visceral wall of anus, usuing pudental nerve.

56
Q

Describe general sns setup

A

start with t1-l2. synapse at paravertebral gand (in spinal cord) or prevertebral gang for gut stuff. Post synaptics is either gretaer splanchnic, lesser-least splanchnic, or lumbar splanchis for foregut, midgut, and hindgut respectively.

57
Q

Is pain felt below or above the pectinate pain line?

A

below.

58
Q

motor source for tongue skeletal

A

CN XII

59
Q

pain, touch, temp for posterior 1/3 and anterior 2./3 of tong

A

Posterior: IX
Anterior:V3 lingual nerve

60
Q

Taste for posterior 1/3 and anterior 2/3 of tongu

A

anterios: VII chorda tympani
posterior: CN IX, X

61
Q

What is the z line?

A

line between esophagus and stomach. Note that if gastric contents seep up on it, it will damage the esophagus. Most likely to happen with sliding hiatal hernia since esophageal sphincter weakens with age.

62
Q

what is the esophageal hiatus surrounded by?

A

RIGHT crux of diapghram

63
Q

job of stomach rugae

A

allows for stomach distension

64
Q

what bacteria causes stomach ulcers?

A

helicobacter pylori

65
Q

Difference between jejunum and ileum

A

jejunum:red with more vascularity - 2-4cm, thick, more plicae circulares - mesentery with less fat and few
long-loop arcades, long vasa recta - few lymphoid nodules

ileum:
- pink with less vascularity - 2-3cm, thin, sparse plicae circulares - mesentery with MORE FAT and many - short-loop arcades, short vasa recta - many lymphoid nodules (solitary or Peyer’s patches) - Meckel’s diverticulum (vitelline duct)
