Hulka Anatomy Liver Pancreas Spleen Flashcards
What are the functions of the liver?
Glycogen stores Produces bile Protein production Coagulation factors Filter of enteric circulation
What is the largest gland in the body and accounts for 2% of body weight?
liver
What are the 2 surfaces of the liver?
diaphragmatic and visceral
What surface of the liver is the superior, posterior and right lateral aspect that lays next to the diaphragm.
diaphragmatic
What is considred the “bare area” of liver because it retroperitoneal. This area is in direct contact with diaphram and it has the IVC running through it?
posterior liver
What is the inferior portion of the liver called?
the visceral surface
What lies on the anterior surface of stomach, first and second portion of duodenum, gall bladder, lesser omentum, right colic flexure of colon (hepatic flexure)
inferior portion of liver
THe H shaped fissure on the liver divides it into what? and what is the crossbar of the H?
4 lobes
porta hepatis
What is this? Fissure in the center of the inferior liver Contains Portal vein Hepatic artery Common bile duct Lymphatics Hepatic nerve plexus
porta hepatis
What are the definitive lobes of the liver? What are they separated by? What does each lobe have?
the right and left
falciform ligament
arterial, venous and bilary system
What does this describe:
Two smaller lobes within it
Quadrate lobe - lies between the gallbladder and the falciform ligament, inferior to porta
Caudate lobe - lies between the inferior vena cava and the ligamentum venosum, superior to the porta
right lobe of liver
What lies between the gallbladder and the falciform ligament, inferior to porta
quadrate lobe
What lies between the inferior vena cava and the ligamentum venosum, superior to the porta
caudate lobe
What is this:
Develops from umbilicus and attached to anterior abdominal wall
Terminates in the bare area as the coronary ligament
Antepartum - contains the umbilical vein
Postpartum - umbilical vein becomes the ligamentum teres
Divides liver into left and right lobes
falciform ligament
What comes off of the coronary ligament and keeps liver attached to diaphragm?
triangular ligament
What is this:
Begins at the superior aspect of liver where the falciform ligament terminates
Surrounds the bare area of the liver
Left lateral aspect - left triangular ligament
Right lateral aspect - right triangular ligament
coronary ligament
What is this:
Begins at the left triangular ligament and terminates in the lesser curvature of the stomach
This is a part of the lesser omentum
Contains the left and right gastric arteries and veins, gastric lymphatics
hepatogastric ligament
What is this:
Begins along the caudate lobe and terminates along the C loop of the duodenum
This is a part of the lesser omentum
Contains the peripancreatic lymphatics
hepatoduodenal ligament
What is this:
Includes the hepatogastric and hepatoduodenal ligaments
Portal triad runs along the free edge of the lesser omentum
Portal vein
Common bile duct
Proper hepatic artery
lesser omentum
What three things are part of the portal triad?
portal vein
common bile duct
proper hepatic artery
What is the double blood supply of the liver and what gives more?
hepatic artery (30%) portal vein (70%)
What is this?
Branch of celiac trunk
Passes to right of stomach and along first portion of duodenum
Gives off gastroduodenal and right gastroepiploic branches and becomes proper hepatic artery
common hepatic artery
What is this?
This ascends along the free edge of the lesser omentum as part of the portal triad
Divides into right and left hepatic arteries
proper hepatic artery
(blank) divides into right and left arteries. What are some variations of this artery?
proper hepatic
some L hepatics will come off L gastric
SomeR hepatics will come off SMA
What is this:
Formed by the confluence of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins and the splenic vein
Runs posterior to bile duct and proper hepatic artery
Divides into right and left portal veins
portal vein
What is this:
Located at superior aspect of liver, below diaphragm
Three of these - drain into inferior vena cava
Right - drains right lobe
Middle - drains caudate lobe
Left - drains left lobe
Superior hepatic veins
What is this:
Located at superior aspect of liver, below diaphragm
Three superior hepatic veins - drain into inferior vena cava
Right - drains right lobe
Middle - drains caudate lobe
Left - drains left lobe
Inferior hepatic veins
