Answer 11

secondary retroperitoneal
bs: SMA
connects jejunum at duodenojejunal junction

Question 12

What is the duodenojejunal junction?

Answer 12

band of muscle that connects ascending duodenum to the jejunum

Question 13

Answer 13

skeletal muscle: diaphragm
smooth muscle: horizontal + ascending duodenum

Question 14

What suspends the ascending duodenum and where is it derived from?

Answer 14

Ligament of Treitz ( this is the junction) and its derived from the right crus of the diaphragm

Question 15

What happens when the ligaments of treitz contracts?

Answer 15

angle widens, contents flow into jejunum

Question 16

What happens when the ligaments of treitz relaxes?

Answer 16

angle narrows, contents cannot flow into jejunum

sigmoid: has mesentary

Question 21

What is tenia coli and what does it do?

Answer 21

form haustra and helps propel food through large intestine

Question 22

What is the arterial supply for the midgut and hindgut

Answer 22

Midgut—SMA (comes from abd. aorta

Hindgut—IMA (comes from abd.. aorta)

Question 25

What us the sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation for the foregut and midgut?

Answer 25

sympa: thoracic splanchnics parasympa: vagus nerve

Question 26

Answer 26

Sympa: lumbar splanchnics parasympa: pelvic splanchnics

Question 27

What is bariatric surgery and what does it result in?

Answer 27

It involves the small intestine. Specifically it's the connection of the upper stomach to the jejunum (bypasses the lower stomach +duodenum) result: less food absorption

Question 28

What is Hirschsprung's?

Answer 28

It involves the large intestine and it's caused by a neural crest cell defect. These cells fail to migrate into distal colon leaving it w/o proper innervation

Question 29

Hirschsprung's can also be called what?

Answer 29

congenital (aganglionic) megacolon

Question 30

With Hirschsprung's, no neural control of the large intestine is characterized by the lack of what and what happens?

Answer 30

Lack of haustra making defaction NOT possible
