62
Q

Describe what passes through the diaphragm at T8, T10 and T12

A

T8 – IVC

T10 – Oesophagus and vagus

T12 – Aorta and cysterna chyli

63
Q

What differences do you notice between the beginning and end of the small intestine?

A

Longer and straighter like ‘church windows’ in the jejunum. Has a more honeycomb appearance in the ileum.

65
Q
A

A = Coeliac Trunk

B = Superior mesenteric artery

C = Inferior mesenteric artery

66
Q

Coeliac Trunk

Superior mesenteric artery

Inferior mesenteric artery

Which organs are supplied by each artery?

A

Coeliac Trunk – Supplies the liver, stomach, abdominal oesophagus, spleen and superior half of the duodenum and pancreas. It represents the embryonic foregut.

Superior mesenteric artery – Supplies the head of the pancreas, ascending and inferior parts of the duodenum, ileum and jejunum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon and 2/3 of the transverse colon.

Inferior mesenteric artery – Supplies 1/3 transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum

A

Normally, all of the hepatic portal system drains into the systemic circulation via the hepatic veins

72
Q

If hypertension (elevated pressure) occurs in the portal vein such as in a scarred liver which is blocking blood flow, blood will instead drain through areas known as ____________

A

If hypertension (elevated pressure) occurs in the portal vein such as in a scarred liver which is blocking blood flow, blood will instead drain through areas known as portosystemic anastomoses

73
Q

Gastroesophageal junction

Anterior abdominal wall around the umbilicus

Anal canal/Rectum

What is the result of increased pressure at these three areas?

A

Oesophageal varices

Caput Medusae

Rectal varices

74
Q

Name the two plexuses involved in the enteric nervous system

A

A= Submucosal plexus /Meissner’s plexus

B = Myenteric plexus/Auerbach’s plexus

75
Q

What is the enteric nervous system?

A

The enteric nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system that controls gastrointestinal motility and secretions; furthermore it acts to function independently of the brain and spinal cord.

76
Q

Between which layers in the wall of the GI tract can they be found (C, D & E)? Look at the image below to help.

A

C = Submucosa

D = Circular muscle layer

E = Longitudinal muscle layer

77
Q

Where does the vagus (parasympathetic) innervation end in the gut?

What takes over to supply parasympathetic innervation of the hindgut?

A

2/3 along transverse colon

pelvic splanchnic nerves take over S2-S4

78
Q

Describe the pain felt from visceral afferent fibres compared to somatic afferent fibres.

A

Visceral afferent has no pain fibres but sometimes is referred and is not localised. Somatic afferent fibres carry pain fibres and is localised.

79
Q

What is occurring when pain is referred?

For example in the early stages, when the appendix becomes inflamed, visceral sensory fibres are stimulated.

Where will the pain be felt?

A

Visceral afferent pain is referred to the dermatome of that spinal level - appendicitis irritates the visceral peritoneum first so in early appendicitis pain is referred to T10. It later affects the parietal peritoneum and becomes localised in the right iliac region as parietal peritoneum is supplied by somatic afferent fibres.

80
Q

What are these triangles called in the pelvic floor?

What central structure in the middle of the “diamond shape” separates the 2 triangles?

A

Urogenital triangle (anterior)

anal triangle (posterior)

81
Q

Explain in terms of innervation, why one anal sphincter is voluntary and why one is involuntary.

Which one is which?

A

The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system controls and regulates the internal anal sphincter – it is involuntary. The sympathetic component causes contraction of the sphincter and the parasympathetic component is inhibitory to the sphincter causing relaxation.

The external anal sphincter is voluntary, and is supplied by the inferior rectal nerve (S2 and S3) and the perineal branch of S4. These are somatic nerves.

82
Q

The puborectalis, iliococcygeus and pubococcygeus together form what muscle?

A
83
Q

What important function does the puborectalis do?

A

Forms a muscular sling and creates and angle, convex forwards, at the anorectal junction = perineal flexure. Therefore the pelvic floor needs to relax when defecating in order to allow ‘straightening’ of this perineal flexure.

84
Q

Identify the structures on the diagram of the external anal sphincter below:

A

A = Levator ani

B = Internal anal sphincter

C = Deep part of external anal sphincter

D = Superficial part of external anal sphincter

85
Q

C = White line of Hilton
