Git Anatomy Flashcards
Function of large intestine?
- Absorption of water
- Production of certain vitamins
- Storage of undigested food 4.
- Formation and excretion of feces
Where is ileum attached to cecum?
At the junction of ascending colon and cecum on the the left side
Position of appendix on - - cecum?
Posteriomedial surface of cecum about 1 inch below the ileocecal junction
Vasculature of cecum?
Anterior and posterior cecal arteries from ileocolic arteries which is a branch of sma
Veins trains into superior mesentarie vein
Nerve supply to celum?
Sympathetic and vagus via superior mesenteric plexus
What is meso appendix?
Appendix is completely covered by peritoneum which is attached to the mesentery of small intestine by a short mesentery of its own called meso appendix
Mess appendix have vessels and nerves of appendix
Vasculature of appendix?
Appendicular artery
Is a branch of posterior cecal artery
Veins drain into posterior decal vein
Length and position of ascending colon?
Length = 5 inch
Extends upwards from cecum to inferior surface of right lobe of liver
What part of ascending colon is covered by peritoneum?
Front and sides are covered by peritoneum and it is attached to posterior abdominal wall
From behind
Vasculature of ascending colon?
’ Ileocolic artery and right colic artery branches of sma
Veins drain into superior mesentaric vein
Length and position of transverse colon?
Length= 15 inch goes across the abdomen
And occupies umbilical and hypogastric region
From right colic flexure below right lobe of liver to left colic flexure below the spleen
Left colic flexure is higher than right
Phrenicocolic ligament?
Ligament that helds the left colic flexures in place
Mesentery of transverse colon?
Transverse mesocelon
Attached to superior border of transverse colon ç and suspend it from pancreas
Greater omentum
Attached to inferior border of transverse colon
Vasculature of transverse colon??
Proximal two thirds → middle colic artery → sma
Distal one thirds → left colic artery → ima
Length and position of descending colon?
Length = 10 inch descends downward from the left colic flexure
To the pelvis brim
Peritoneum on descending colon?
It is covered by peritoneum on front and sides and attaches it to the posterior was
Vasculature of descending color??
Left colic and sigmoid branches of ima
Veins drains into Imv
Length and position of sigmoid colon?
Length = 10 - 15 inch
Continuation of descending colon and then goes down to 3rd sacral vertebra where rectum Strats
Sigmoid mesocolon??
- Fan shaped , ‘attaches sigmoid colon with posterior abdominal wan
Vasculature of sigmoid colon?
Sigmoid branches of ima
What ligament divides the liver into right and left lobe?
Falsiform ligament
What structures divide the right note of liver into quadrate and caudate lobes?
- Fissure for ligament venosum
- Fissure for ligament teres
- Gall bladder
- Inferior vena cava
How much liver is surrounded by peritoneum ?
Liver is partially surrounded by peritoneum
