Q

describe the venous drainage of the abdominal organs

A
  • venous drainage from the abdominal GI tract and spleen enters the hepatic portal vein for transport to the liver
  1. hepatic portal vein- has two main contributions
    1. splenic vein
      1. the inferior mesenteric drains into the splenic vein
    2. superior mesenteric vein
    3. minor but clinically relevantportacaval anastomoses
      1. connect the hepatic portal vein to systems of the inferior venae cava
      2. become dilated when flow resistance patients with cirrhosis-portal hyotension

Q

describe the route of cancer spreading from the GI tract

A

the blood flows from the GI tract to the liver first. This means that cancer from the GI tract often metastasizes to the liver

Q

describe the parasympathetic innervation of the abdominal cavity

A

two main sources: vagus and pelvic

  1. vagus nerves-CX
    1. route
      1. enter abdomen through esophageal haitus
        1. anterior and posterior vagal trunks

18
Q

compare the functions of the sympathetic and parasympthetic autnoimc nervous inputs on thte abdominal contents

A

both manipulate the enteric nerous system

  1. sympathetic
    1. vasoconstriction
    2. reduced glandular secretion
    3. reduced peristalsis
  2. parasympathetic
    1. increase glandular secretion
    2. increase peristalsis, through smooth muscle
19
Q

what type of fibers accompany sympathetic nerves and carry pain?

A

visceral afferent fibers accompany sympathetic nerves and carry parin from the abdominal viscera to the spinal cord.

20
Q

describe the nerves involved with the reffered pain at the following locations.

A
  1. GREATER SPLANCHNIC NERVE T5-T9
    1. forgut

    1. what organs
      1. diaphragmatic pleura
        1. pleuritis
      2. peritoneum
        1. cholecystitis
      3. ruptured spleen
    2. where
      1. ipsilateral shoulder
    3. why
      1. afferentt fibers of the phrenic nerve (C3,4,5) enter the same spinal cord segments as the supraclavicular nerves which supply cutaneous innervation to the shoulder.
