lect 4 abdomen (peritoneum) Flashcards
what peritoneality does the kidney have
primarily retroperitoneal
what type of peritoneality does the stomach and spleen have
intraperitoneal
what is the main and larger part of the peritoneal cavity
greater sac
what does a surgical incision through the anterolateral abdominal wall enter
the greater sac
what does the OMENTAL bursa (lesser sac) lie posterior to
the stomach and lesser omentum
what does the supra colic compartment contain
stomach, liver, spleen
what does the infra colic compartment contain
small intestine and ascending/descending colon
how does free communication between the supra colic and infra colic compartments occur
through the paracolic gutters
what is organ is contained within the omental bursa
pancreas
how does the OMental bursa communicate with the greater peritoneal sac
through the OMental foramen/epiploic foramen
what is the anterior border of the Omental foramen
hepatoduodenal ligament
what is the portal triad contained within
hepatoduodenal ligament
what is the posterior boundary of the OMental foramen
