18
Q

Blood supply to transverse colon

A

1.) middle colic artery

19
Q

Blood supply to descending colon

A

1.) left colic artery

20
Q

Blood supply to sigmoid colon

A

1.) sigmoid artery

21
Q

Blood supply to proximal rectum

A

1.) superior rectal arteries

22
Q

If common hepatic artery is blocked, how will blood travel to liver?

A
  • Common hepatic artery has gastroduodenal, right gastric and proper hepatic arteries as branches
  • Right gastro-omental (gastroepiploic) artery off of gastroduodenal, anastomoses with left gastro-omental artery (off splenic, off celiac), therefore blood will travel via celiac, via splenic, via left gastro-omental into right-gastro-omental and back up into gastroduodenal into proper hepatic and into left hepatic artery
23
Q

Describe anastomoses within the gut

A
  1. ) R & L gastro-omental (gastroepiploic) arteries
  2. ) R & L gastric arteries
  3. ) Sup & Inf pancreticoduodenal arteries
  4. ) Inf pancreaticoduodenal and jejunal arteries
  5. ) Marginal artery
  6. ) Superior rectal arteries with middle and inferior rectal arteries
24
Q

Describe the structure of the hepatic portal system

A
  • Foregut drains via splenic vein, Midgut drains via SMV, Hindgut drains via IMV
  • IMV unites with splenic vein, which unites with SMV to form hepatic portal vein
25
Q

What is the definition of a portal system?

A
  • Circulatory system between two capillary beds. In case of hepatic portal system, capillary beds of guts and sinusoids of liver.
26
Q

Is the entire gut drained into the hepatic portal system?

A
  • No, lower esophagus to upper rectum.
27
Q

Suppositories are inserted into the rectum. They work by bypassing the hepatic portal system and conversion in the liver to an inert substance. How can this be?

A
  • Only the upper 1/3rd of the rectum is drained via the hepatic portal system. Remainder is drained by the internal iliac vein that goes directly into the IVC, thus bypassing the liver.
28
Q

Describe how liver issues such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver tumors etc. can cause issues in blood flow through the hepatic portal system given the portocaval anastomoses

A
  • Portal hypertension is increased pressure in the hepatic portal system as a result of decreased resistance to blood flow as the liver becomes diseased. Blood finds alternate routes via anastomoses: esophageal, rectal, umbilical and colonic. These individuals develop esophageal varices, hemorrhoids (external), caput medusa.
29
Q

Innervation of foregut

A
  1. ) SNS: T5-9 presynaptics through sympathetic chain, pass through greater splanchnic nerve, synapse in celiac ganglia, postsynaptics follow branches of celiac trunk
  2. ) PSNS: CN X (vagus) through celiac plexus without synapsing, synapse in ganglia in gut plexuses
30
Q

Innervation of midgut

A
  1. ) SNS: T10-12 presynaptics through sympathetic chain, pass through lesser or least splanchnic (T10-11 and T12 respectively) nerves, synapse in superior mesenteric ganglion, postsynaptics follow branches of SMA
  2. ) PSNS: CN X (vagus) through superior mesenteric plexus without synapsing, synapse in ganglia in gut plexuses
31
Q

Innervation of hindgut

A
  1. ) SNS: L1-L2 presynaptics through sympathetic chain, pass through lumbar splanchnic nerves, synapse in inferior mesenteric ganglion, postsynaptics follow branches of IMA
  2. ) PSNS: S2-S4 pass through sacral spinal nerves then through pelvic splanchnic nerves, branches to colon pass through hypogastric plexus and inferior mesenteric plexus, follow branches of IMA to target and synapse in ganglia in gut plexuses
