Hepatobiliary and Foregut Picture Cards Flashcards
The liver forms within a _______ mesentery, which forms the adult _______ ligament and the _______ ________.
Liver forms within a ventral mesentery –> falciform ligament and lesser omentum


- Epiploic foramen (of Winslow)
- Lesser omentum
- Lesser sac

- Epiploic foramen (of Winslow)
- Lesser omentum (hepatogastric and hepadoduodenal ligaments)
name the morphological lobes of the liver

- Left lobe
- Caudate lobe
- Right lobe
- Quadrate lobe

- Neck
- Cystic duct w/ spiral valve
- Common hepatic duct
- Common bile duct
- Accessory and main pancreatic ducts
- Major duodenal papilla (Vater)
- Hepatopancreatic ampulla

Name this thing and also the thing that is found at its inferior edge (not seen in primal) and what it formed from (embryologic origin).

Falciform ligament of the liver (formed from the ventral mesentery). The ligamentum teres hepatus (round ligament of liver) runs along the posterior edge and formed from the obliterated umbilical vein.

Peritoneum - greater omentum
Also state what this artery splits into

Common hepatic artery splits into the hepatic artery proper and the gastroduodenal artery.

gastroduodenal artery
Also, what did this artery arise from? What does it supply?

Right gastro-epiploic artery, arose from the gastroduodenal artery. Supplies the greater curvature of the stomach.
Also, what did this artery arise from? What does it supply?

Left gastro-epiploic artery, arose from the splenic artery. Supplies the greater curvature of the stomach.
Also state what this supplies

Left gastric artery supplies the lesser curvature of the stomach

Portal vein

Hepatic veins
Name it. What is the inferior part of this thing called? What did it arise from?

Falciform ligament, inferior part is the ligamentum teres hepatus - formed form the obliterated umbilical vein.

- Celiac trunk
- Splenic artery
- Common hepatic artery
- Gastroduodenal artery
- Hepatic artery proper
- Pancreas (body)
- Gallbladder
Name this thing, what it is derived from, and what it connects to.

Lesser omentum - hepatogastric ligament. Covers the lesser sac. Derived from ventral mesentery - two layers of peritoneum. It continues onto the liver and terminates as the falciform ligament that conects to the anterior abdominal wall.
For #2, name the two sections of it

- Liver right lobe
- Falciform ligament, inferior part is the ligamentum teres
- Liver, left lobe
- Stomach: body
- Greater omentum

Ligamentum teres
