Hulka Anatomy Small and Large Intestine Flashcards
What is the first portion of small intestine and where does it end?
duodenum
ends at ligament of trietz
What is the shortest portion of the small bowel?
duodenum
The duodenum except for the first 2-3 cm, is a completely (blank) structure
retroperitoneal
What is this: In continuity with the pylorus Is the intraperitoneal portion Approximately 2-3 cm in length Also referred to as the duodenal bulb The common bile duct, gastroduodenal artery and inferior vena cava run posterior to this portion of the duodenum
First portion of duodenal
(blank) can develop in the duodenal bulb due to increased acidity entering the bulb from the stomach
ulcers
If ulcers are on anterior wall of duodenum it will perforate (blank) and result in acute abdominal pain.
intraperitoneal
If ulcers are on posterior wall of duodenum it will perforate into the (blank) and have it bleed extensivly.
gastroduodenal artery
What is this:
Where the duodenum becomes retroperitoneal
Approximately 8-10 cm in length
Also referred to as the “C loop”
Where the pancreatic and common bile duct drain into the duodenum through the ampulla of Vater (hepatopancreatic ampulla)
second portion of duodenal
What portion of the duodenum is the C loop?
2nd portion
What is this:
ends where the superior mesenteric vessels cross
Approximately 5-8 cm in length
Also referred to as the horizontal portion
Where the duodenum proceeds horizontally over the spine from right to left
3rd portion of duodenum
What is this:
Begins to left of superior mesenteric vessels
Ends at the ligament of Trietz
Approximately 2-3 cm in length
Also referred to as the ascending portion
Duodenum proceeds superiorly to the left side of abdomen and acute turn where it becomes the jejunum
fourth portion of duodenum
What is the blood supply to the pancreas?
Superior pancreaticoduodenal artery from the gastroduodenal artery
Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery from the superior mesenteric artery
What is the venous drainage of the duodenum?
Into superior mesentaric vein (entering portal system)
What is the lymphatic drainage of duodenum?
Drain primarily into pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes
These ultimately drain into the celiac lymph nodes
What is this:
The intestine exits the fetus at 7-8 weeks development and then returns in a rotated position…or sometimes not.
Present with bilious vomiting to septic secondary to mid gut volvulus
malrotation
What is this
Second and third portions of the small intestine
Begins at the ligament of Trietz
Ends at the ileocecal valve
No obvious demarcation between these 2 things.
Both total approximately 6-7 meters
First 2/5ths thought to be (blank)
jejunum and ileum
jejunum
(blank) is usually thicker and more muscular than ileum
Jejunum
(blank) is the more proximal portion so resides in the upper abdomen
Jejunum
(blank) is more distal so resides in the pelvis and lower abdomen
Ileum
(blank) in the mucous membrane are large and well developed in the jejunum and Provides a more absorptive surface
Circular folds (plicae circulares)
Jejunum and ileum are suspended by a (blank)
mesentery
(blank) carries blood vessels and lymphatics.
mesentary
(blank) Emanates from superior mesenteric vessels and fans out with the bowel along the edge of the mesentery
root of the mesentary
Entire blood supply to jejunum and ileum comes from the (blank)
superior mesenteric artery
SMA provides (blank) branches to jejunum and ileum
15-18
Arteries unite to form (blank)
arterial arcades
From arterial arcades,what arise?
vasa recta or “straight vessels” arise
(blank) enter bowel on the mesenteric border
Vasa recta
Does the SI have collateral circulation?
yes via the vasa recta, arterial arcades
Entire blood supply to jejunum and ileum drains into the (blan) vein.
Veins and venules follow arterial supply
superior mesenteric vein
(blank) are lymphatics in the intestinal villi
Lacteals
Lacteals drain into a lymph vessel plexus in the (blank).
mesentery
Lacteals drain into a lymph vessel plexus in the mesentery
Plexus drains into (blank)
mesenteric lymph nodes
What are the three levels of mesenteric lymph nodes?
The lymphatics will ultimately drain into the (blank)
Next to intestine
Along arterial arcades
Along SMA
cisterna chyli and into the thoracic duct
What are the nerves of the small intestine?
Vagus and splachnic nerves
