Q

What is the major blood supply to the liver?

A

75-80% Hepatic portal vein (parenchyma like hepatocytes)

Q

What are the branches of the common bile duct?

A

The common bile duct travels in the hepatoduodenal L. and splits into the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct.
distally it joins the main pancreatic duct, flows into the ampulla of Vater, into the major papilla of the duodenum

Q

explain the blood drainage in the liver

A
  1. The hepatic arteries and the hepatic portal vein drain into sinusoids into the central vein which will drain into Hepatic veins and then into the IVC.
  2. Bile flows in the opposite direction in bile cannuliculi to interlobular biliary ducts then to the hepatic bile duct then to the common bile duct in the portal triad.
  3. deep lymph ducts drain lymph from perisinusoidal spaces of Disse
17
Q

Pancreatic Blood supple

18
Q

What level does the SMA exit the aorta and what are its branches?

A
  • Exits aorta at L1
    1. A/P inferior pancreatic-duodenal A.s
    2. middle colic
    3. Right colic.
    4. ileocolic ( which branches into the appendicular A.)
    5. ileo-jejenual A.s
19
Q

Common SMA variations

A
  1. absent middle colic
  2. absent right colic
  3. 1 trunk for middle and right colic
  4. 1 trunk for ileocolic and right colic
20
Q

What is Nutcracker syndrome? SMA syndrome?

A

Nutrcracker

  • when the Left Renal Vein is compressed by the Aorta and the SMA at L1
  • Signs: proteinuria, hematouria, varices in Left. scrotum, left flank pain

SMA Syndrome

  • when the 3rd part of the duodenum is compressed by the SMA and Aorta
  • nausea, bilious vommitting

*both caused by a loss of mesenteric fat pad

21
Q

When does the IMA exit the aorta? what are its branches ?

A
  • Exits at L3
  • left colic
  • sigmoid A.s
  • superior rectal A.s
22
Q

What makes the Marginal A of Drummond

A

a large anastomose between right, left, middle, and ileocolic A. s

23
Q

what are the arteries that supply the rectum?

A
  1. superior rectal A. from the IMA
  2. middle rectal A. from from internal Iliac A.s
  3. inferior rectal A. from internal pudendal A.

*they all anastomose around the rectum

24
Q

What levels does the IVC appear in the abdominal cavity? where does it sit in relation to the Aorta?

A

exits the diagram hiatus at T5 and splits into the common iliac veins at L5
sits to the right of the aorta, 2.5cm from midline

25
Q

What are the branches off the IVC? and what levels do they exit?

A

T5- Right, middle and Left hepatic veins

  • inferior phrenic veins
  • suprarenal veins
  • Left renal vein –> Left gonadal vein
  • Right Renal vein
  • Right gonadal A.
  • Lumbar Veins
  • HIS Right Gonad is Lower
26
Q

Describe the venous drainage from the rectum

A

Rectal Venous Plexus–> Superior rectal vein –>IMV–> (Portal system )–> hepatic portal vein –(liver)–> IVC

Rectal venous Plexus–> inferior or middle rectal vein —(Caval system)–> IVC

27
Q

Internal vs external hemorrhoids

A

internal

  • contains the internal venous plexus
  • bright red blood
  • NOT painful
  • above pectinate line

external

  • covered by skin
  • PAINful
  • below pectinate line
28

    - superior rectal V. and middle of inferior rectal V.
  4. Retroperitoneal
    - colic V.s and systemic retroperitoneal V.s (lumbar veins)
31

Name the pathologies that can occur in the canal-portal anatamoses if there is Portal Hypertension

A
  1. esophageal - varices (can rupture and hemorrhage)
  2. Paraumbilical - Caput Medusae or umbilical varices
  3. Rectal- hemorrhoids
32
Q

What are the parasympathetic nerves for abdominal innervation

A

Presynaptic

  • vagus N. (R and L vagal trunks) *enter at esophageal hiatus
  • Pelvic Splanchnic N . (S2-S4)

Plexus

  • Vagus –>Abdominal aortic plexus and periarterial plexus
  • Pelvic Splanchnic–> inferior hypogastric Plexus

Postsynaptic
-Enteric (intrinsic) parasympathetic ganglion (ENS)

33
Q

What are the sympathetic nerves for abdominal innervation

A 
Splanchnic: 
Greater: T5-T9
Lesser: T10-T11
Least: T12 
Lumbar: L1-L2 
*greater, lesser, and least pierce the diaprahgm
34
Q

Name the sympathetic prevertebral Ganglion and what nerves are most associated with them

A 
Greater Splanchnic--> Celiac Ganglion 
Lumbar--> inferior mesenteric ganglion 
Lesser/least--> aorticorenal Ganglion 
and superior mesenteric ganglion 
*all are abdominal aortic and periarterial plexus
35
Q

Is superior hypogastric plexus SNS or PNS

A

SNS

36
Q

does pain visceral afferents travel with PNS or SNS

A

SNS

*exception is pelvic pain line

37
Q

Describe SNS and PNS innervation of the rectum

A

SNS above Pectinate line
-lumbar splanchnics–>peri-aortic plexus–> superior hypogastric plexus–> inferior hypogastric plexus

PNS above pectinate line
-pelvic splanchnic

Somatic below pectinate line
-pudendal afferents with Pudendal N.

38
Q

Describe the pelvic pain line and its relation to the SNS and PNS

A

pelvic pain line corresponds to the inferior limit of the peritoneum for pelvic organs (middle of the sigmoid colon)

  • SNS travels above the Pain Line
  • pain visceral afferents travel with PNS below pain line
39
Q

does visceral reflex afferent travel with PNS or SNS

A

PNS always
