Q

Uncinate process

A

Region of the head of the pancreas that lies posterior to the superior mesenteric vessels

61
Q

What part of the pancreas is not secondarily retroperitoneal and why?

A

Median sacaral artery

68
Q

What are the paired parietal arteries of the abdomen

A

69
Q

Embryonic formation of the pancreas

A

There are 2 pancreases when we start. Little ventral pancreatic bud and large dorsal pancreatic bud in embryo. Duodenum straight at this point. The gut then rotates causing ventral pancreatic bud with bile duct and duodenum to swing to the back. Ventral pancreatic bud joins the dorsal pancreatic bud. This is why the Head is always lower than the body and tail.

73
Q

Arteries in celiac trunk

A

74
Q

List the organs supplied by the celiac trunk

A

Esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, duodenum (forgut portion), spleen

75
Q

What anastomoses represents dual origin of the duodenum from the midgut and forgut

A

The anastomose between the superior and inferior pancreaticoduodeunal a.a

76
Q

Where does the superior mesenteric artery arise from?

A

Ventral surface of aorta slightly inferior to celiac trunk

77
Q

What organs are supplied by the superior mesenteric a.

A

duodenum (midgut region), jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, proximal 2/3 of transverse colon.

78
Q

1st branch of the superior mesenteric a.

A

-inferior pancreaticoduodenal trunk- supplies duodenum and anastomoses with superior pancreaticoduodenal a.

79
Q

Between the middle colic and the superior branch of the left colic. This is important because it is a connection between the superior and inferior mesenteric a.a

89

Hepatic portal vein-sinusoids-inferior vena cava (Vein-sinus-vein)

99

A

Return nutrients absorbed in GI tract to the liver to be metabolized

100
Q

What are the 2 tributaries that form the hepatic portal vein

A

The inferior mesenteric v, superior mesenteric v. and splenic v (most of the time the inferior mesenteric v. does into the splenic v and not the hepatic portal v.)

101
Q

Where does blood flow from the venous portal once the blood has been delivered to the liver

A

sinusoids-capilaries (nutrients absorbed)-Inferior vena cava

102
Q

Anastomoses between systemic and portal circulation (5)
