Hindgut Flashcards
what is meant by the hindgut
distal 1/3 transverse colon
descending colon
sigmoid colon
rectum
anal canal
what is the blood supply of the hindgut
branches of the inferior mesenteric artery (aorta L3)
where does the descending colon span
from left colic flexure (splenic flexure) to pelvic brim where it becomes sigmoid colon
the descending colon is ____peritoneal
retroperitoneal
what is the arterial supply of the descending colon
left colic and sigmoidal branches of inferior mesenteric artery
venous drainage of descending colon is to
inferior mesenteric vein
lymph from descending colon drains where
local nodes then inferior mesenteric pre-aortic nodes (L3)
nerves of descending colon from
inferior mesenteric plexus and parasympathetic from pelvic splanchnic nerves
relations of descending colon
small intestine
greater omentum
left kidney
quadratus lumborum
psoas
femoral and iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves
does the sigmoid colon have a mesentery
yes, attached to posterior pelvic wall by pelvic mesocolon
where does the sigmoid colon span
from descending colon infront of left external iliac artery to 3rd sacral vertebra where it becomes the rectum
relations of sigmoid colon
bladder (males)
uterus and vagina (females)
rectum
sacrum
arterial supply of the sigmoid colon
sigmoid branches of inferior mesenteric artery
venous drainage of sigmoid colon
veins to inferior mesenteric vein
lymph drainage of sigmoid colon
to inferior mesenteric nodes at aorta (L3)
ANS of sigmoid colon from
inferior hypogastric plexus in pelvis
what does the rectum pass between
sigmoid colon at the sacrum (3rd sacral vertebra) to 2cm infront of tip of coccyx where it pierces pelvic floor and becomes the anal canal
