Q

Why does the large intestine have a segmented appearance?

A

longitudinal muscle stripes are shorter than the mucosal tube inside them and that causes formation of haustrations of the mucosa.

Q

What is the ligamentum teres of the liver?

A

Round ligamentum teres is a remnant of the umbilical vein from times of development.

20
Q

What lobes is the liver divided into ateriorly?

A

Large right lobe

Small left lobe

21
Q

What lobes is the liver divided into posteriorly?

A

caudate lobe superiorly

quadrate lobe inferiorly

22
Q

What delineates the left and right lobes of the liver functionally?

A

Hepatic veins

gallbladder

23
Q

What is the functional left lobe of the liver?

A

caudate lobe

quadrate lobe

left lobe

24
Q

Where is IVC located relative to the liver?

A

IVC is embedded into the visceral surface of the liver.

25
Q

What is the ligamentum teres and where does it attach? What is it called in the liver?

A

ligamentum teres is a cord that is remnant of the vein during development. For this reason it continues through the liver and then connects to IVC. When it reaches the liver’s porta hepatis it is called the ligamentum venosum

26
Q

What is the hilum of the liver called?

A

porta hepatis

27
Q

What structures can be found in the hilum of the liver?

A

nerves

arteries (proper hepatic artery divides into right and left hepatic arteries 1 for each functional half of the liver) On the left of the hilum

veins (portal vein also splits in half) behind the artery to the left and the duct to the right.

lymphatics

hepatic ducts (right and left from functional halves) on the right of the hilum

28
Q

Where do the veins of the liver go?

A

venous drainage of the liver comes from the IVC. The portal veins penetrate IVC.

29
Q

What structure does the helpatic duct go through to reach the duodenum?

A

lesser omentum ends at the duodenum. At that location the structures entering and exiting the porta hepatis is embedded in the free edge of the lesser omentum. This free edge connects the hilum to the duodenum.

30
Q

Where does the gall bladder sit on the liver?

A

Gall bladder sits in a groove on the undersurface of the liver.

31
Q

What are the parts of the gall bladder (including the ducts)?

A

fundus (blind end)

body

Neck

These structures are continuous and form the cystic duct and then the common hepatic duct and finally the common bile duct.

32
Q

What part of the duodenum does the common bile duct connect to? How does it get there?

A

It gets there by running behind the first part of the duodenum and then through the space between the pancreas and the duodenum and it inserts into the second part of the major duodenal papilla along with the pancreas.

33
Q

How does bile release get regulated before and after a meal?

A

sphincter of the hepatopancreatic ampulla is closed most of the time. It opens in response to fatty food.

34
Q

How does bile get stored in the gall bladder?

A

The closed sphincter (hepatopancreatic ampulla) causes build up of bile which falls into the gall bladder and gets stored and concentrated.

35
Q

How can gallstones be diagnosed?

A

fundus of gall bladder tips below the inferior margin of the liver. Gallstones can be palpated between right costal margin and right border of rectus abdominus after breathing in.

36
Q

Where is the pancreas located relative to other viscera of the abdominal wall?

A

head is within C-shaped duodenum.

uncinate process is wedge shaped from the head and connects to superior mesenteric vessels.

Neck overlies superior mesenteric vessels. Pyloris of stomach is superior to it.

duodenal jejunal flexure corresponds to the body of the pancreas.

Tail of the pancreas is right next to the hilum of the spleen.

37
Q

Is the pancreas intra or retro peritoneal?

A

retroperitoneal

38
Q

What is the function of the main pancreatic duct?

A

main pancreatic duct runs through the pancreas and opens into the duodenum. It joins the common bile duct at the major duodenal papilla. It collects the secretions of the pancreas and directs them to the duodenum.

39
Q

How is the secretion of pancreatic “stuff” regulated?

A

terminal portion of common bile duct and pancreatic duct has a common complex sphincter.

40
Q

What is the function of the minor duodenal papilla?

A

accessory pancreatic duct is usually present and drains the lower part of the pancreas into the minor duodenal papilla.

41
Q

How big is the spleen?

A

Spleen is approximately fist sized but this decreases with age.

42
Q

What are the surfaces that the spleen has?

A

Visceral surface

Diaphragmatic surface

43
Q

What surface separates the diaphragmatic and the visceral surface of the spleen?

A

Visceral and diaphragmatic surface are separated by the notched margin.

44
Q

What structures does the splenic hilum contain?

A

Splenic artery which follows the body and tail of the pancreas towards the spleen.

Splenic vein

*spleen is very vascular

45
Q

Where is the spleen located relative to other structures?

A

spleen lies below the diaphragm in left upper quadrant.

right above the left colic flexure.

Directly under ribs 9, 10, 11.

46
Q

What is the clinical significance of the spleen’s location?

A

fracture of 9, 10, and 11 can cause a tear in the spleen followed by a hemorrhage .
