45
Q

anastomose between superior pancreaticoduodenal a. and inferior pancreaticoduodenal a. connect which two structures?

A

celiac trunk (sup) and superior mesenteric a. (inf)

46

49
Q

pathway of venous return to hepatic portal system

A

inferior messenteric vein –> splenic vein

superior mesenteric vein + splenic vein = hepatic portal v.

50
Q

what is caput medusa? “snakes under skin”

A

non-functional umbilical veins fill with blood via umbilical anastomosis necessary due to liver enlargement

51

56
Q

parasympathetic of foregut

A

pass through vagus, celiac plexus, synapse in ganglia in the gut plexuses
short post-synaptics

57
Q

sympathetics of midgut

pass through vagus nerve, superior messenteric plexus, follow branches of SMA to organ, synapse in gangli in gut plexuses
shortpostynaptics

59
Q

sympathetics of hindgut

A

arise from L1-2, pass through lumbar splanchnic nerves, synapse in inferior mesenteric gangliion
postsynaptics follow branches of IMA to organ

60
Q

parasympathetics of hindgut

A

arise from S234 pass through sacral spinal nerves, pelivc splanchnic nerves, branches to colon pass through hypogastric plexus and inferior mesenteric plexus, follow branches of IMA to target, synapse in gut plexuses
short postsynaptics
