L25: Posterior Abdominal Wall Flashcards
list the 4 muscles of the posterior abdominal wall
psoas major
psoas minor
iliacus
quadratus lumborum
beginning and end of the abdominal aorta
TV12 - aortic hiatus
LV4 – bifurcation into common iliacs
list 3 unpaired branches of abdominal aorta
celiac trunk
sup. mesenteric
inf. mesenteric
list 3 paired visceral branches of abdominal aorta
middle suprarenal arteries
renal arteries
gonadal arteries
list 5 paired somatic branches of abdominal aorta
inf. phrenic arteries
4 pairs of lumbar segmental arteries
list the 3 branches of the celiac trunk
splenic a
left gastric a
common hepatic a
describe the splenic artery
largest branch off celiac trunk
–supplies pancreas and greater curve of stomach
branches of splenic artery
6 short gastric arteries
6 splenic arteries
left gastroepiploic artery
describe the left gastric artery
smallest branch off celiac trunk
- -travels in lesser omentum
- -anastomoses w/ right gastric
what does the left gastric artery supply
lesser curve of stomach
inf. esophagus
what does the common hepatic artery supply
stomach
liver
gall bladder
list the branches of the common hepatic artery
right/left hepatic
cystic artery
right gastric
gastroduodenal art
right gastric artery
travels along lesser omentum
anastomoses w/ left gastric
in the lesser curvature of stomach
gastroduodenal artery
gives off a right gastroduodenal and
sup. pancreaticoduodenal
right gastroduodenal artery
travels along greater curve of stomach
superior pancreaticoduodenal artery
travels along head of pancreas
supplies duodenum and pancreas
what does the superior mesenteric artery supply
most of duodenum and intestines to left colic flexure
list branches of superior mesenteric artery
jejunal and ileal arteries inf. pancreaticoduodenal middle colic right colic ileocolic
middle colic artery
–supplies transverse colon
right colic artery
supplies ascending colon
ileocolic artery
terminal branch of sup. mesenteric artery
supplies - ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon
mesenteric arteries are characterized by 3 common features of their branches
arcades – loops
vasa recta
windows – circles created by small arteries
what does the inferior mesenteric artery supply
intestines
beginning w/ left colic flexure to upper half of anal canal
left colic flexure
where transverse colon turns into descending colon
branches of the inferior mesenteric artery
left colic
sigmoid arteries
sup. rectal artery
left colic artery
supplies descending colon
branches into marginal artery
sigmoid arteries
2-3 of them
supply descending and sigmoid colon
